https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3206644/political-affiliation-divided-along-racial-lines-among-churchgoers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)

— Wide partisan divisions remain in Americans’ views of the war in Ukraine (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect ever-increasing disapproval of Republicans if not hatred against Republicans by Ukrainians.)
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/11/25/wide-partisan-divisions-remain-in-americans-views-of-the-war-in-ukraine/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say the United States is providing too much support to Ukraine (42% vs. 13%). Republicans are also far less likely than Democrats to say the U.S. has a responsibility to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia’s invasion (36% vs. 65%).

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly replace those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats and RINOs.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your critics/opponents loyal to? My Democrat superiors in the federal government were blindly loyal to the Democrat Party platform. They did everything that they could to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors had been in America for a long time. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government. While I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I nevertheless carried out their direct orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, disabled, unmarried, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. But because that was not good enough for them, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about my subordinates and the preference that I gave them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do your critics/opponents frame you, that is, defame you? Mine stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. to defame me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? Mine do the following now or will do the following when the “come out” in the future: promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How vulnerable are you? According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, the more of the following that you are, the more vulnerable that you are: liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is Trump’s position on GAO? GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. During that time, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Will Trump end Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeism, that is, will Trump end race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? If he does, it will have a tremendous impact on the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Far too many leaders of the aforesaid reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal employees as being overpaid, lazy, incompetent, inefficient, unmotivated, overly bureaucratic, and slow and as being so bad that they cannot get a job in the private sector. The aforesaid negative stereotyping constructively rendered my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license worthless. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal retirees as people whose retirement benefits are far too generous. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Why Getting Promoted Is Getting Tougher (COMMENT: From what see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the tougher it is to get promoted: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. The following helped me get promoted in 1972 (when I was 23 years old), 1973, 1974, and 1986. I completed graduate evening business courses starting in 1972 and earned an MBA in 1976. I completed graduate evening accounting courses starting in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— More young men are struggling financially. Here’s how that helped Trump win. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, the future for young men is ever-increasingly bleak. I once was a young man. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. The aforesaid Democrats promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They erroneously anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat. But if I was a young man today, the aforesaid Democrats would not hire or promote me today because they are under even more pressure from Democrat leaders to hire and promote Democrat females. All my female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3237318/trump-steps-up-battle-media-kill-press-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Her group had already issued a statement the morning after the election, criticizing Trump for “wanton attacks on journalists” and warning that his second administration could be a turning point for media freedom in the United States. Whether wanton or not, Trump has famously feuded with the press since his political career began eight years ago. He’s dubbed the media “fake news” and “the enemy of the people” while leading chants against reporters during his many political rallies. However, Trump arguably raised the temperature higher than ever this year. He made a dark joke earlier this month that a possible assassin would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.)
NEW YORK POST
— Critics of President-elect Trump’s plan to enlist the military to help deport illegal immigrants claim it will violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But that might not be the case. The 146-year-old PCA says that “except [as] expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress,” whoever “willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus … to execute the laws shall be fined … or imprisoned.”

— Farms, Meat Plants Brace for Trump Immigration Crackdown. Agriculture companies and laborers fear raids; 42% of crop farmhands aren’t legally authorized to work in U.S. (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders have always shouted that illegals take the bad jobs that Americans refuse to take. My critics/opponents have always shouted that. They have always made it very clear that they would never had taken the bad jobs that I took. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. They never had to compete against illegals for bad jobs. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. The bad jobs I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970.)

Because I refused to become a Democrat, they wasted my career and got rid of me.)

— GOP senator calls for audit after finding 800+ IRS employees owe back taxes (COMMENT: Democrats run IRS. Virtually all IRS employees are Democrats. I should write a book about how Democrat IRS superiors waste the careers of and get rid of their Republican employees. I would use myself as an example. Because I was a Republican, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12. Because I was a Republican, they ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Hawkeye State senator continues to advocate for her Audit the IRS Act, which would mandate stricter oversight of IRS employees and employment practices. “IRS agents who spend their days harassing hardworking folks under the threat of fines and prison time are refusing to pay their own taxes,” the senator wrote on social media. “By passing my bill to #AuditTheIRS, we can end the double standard and fire every bureaucrat refusing to live by their own rules.”)

ADVANTAGE NEWS
— Trump’s homeschool tax credit faces some opposition (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who since 1953 have used against me the most my parents sending me to Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) grade schools. They use it to hint/imply/argue/shout a) that my parents were filthy rich and/or b) that MSLs are much too conservative. My parents had less money because they sent my brother and me to MSL grade schools. That contributed to my having to work my way through college.)

— QUESTION: Why do people take adverse actions against others? ANSWER: They have the power to do it. They want/need scapegoats. Their victims lack the power and/or the motivation to defend themselves. They disapprove of/despise/hate their victim’s beliefs and/or demographics. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on a) my Democrat superiors in the federal government, b) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, c) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, d) past leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition, e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, f) conservative leaders and activists, g) religious leaders and activists, and h) those who I have sued. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— It all comes out in the wash. As time goes on, it becomes ever-increasingly obvious that my critics/opponents who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican a) reject 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, b) despise if not hate Trump and those like me who share Trump’s demographics, c) are woke if not Democrat Lite if not RINO if not anti-conservative if not anti-Republican if not Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or Independent plants, d) blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems, and e) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Those who head federal agencies have tremendous powers. Charles Bowsher headed GAO 1981-1996. He used his powers to destroy GAO. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Affirmative Action, DEI, out-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of virtually all of GAO’s employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How has Duckworth been used against you? Roskam ran against Duckworth for congress in 2006. I should write about those around Roskam back then who feared that he would lose and set up me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters as the scapegoat. Andy McKenna ran against Jack Ryan in the U.S. Senate primary in 2004. I should write about those around McKenna who feared that he would lose and set up me and my newsletters as the scapegoat. Jim Ryan ran against Blagojevich for governor in 2002. I should write about those around Ryan back then who feared that he would lose and set up me and my newsletters as the scapegoat. In addition to my being the GOPUSA Illinois editor since 2000, I was the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition officer 2003-2007. – Dave Diersen

Since 1993 when I was 45 years old, they have also been especially furious when I became eligible to take early retirement. They succeeded in forcing me to take it in 1997. But because of that, my CSRS pension is significantly less because of that. )

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— A GOP PROXY WAR: A battle is brewing between Aaron Del Mar, who is the Palatine Township Republican committeeman and Republican state central committeeman, and Jeanne Ives, a former state House member who ran for governor a few years back. How it started: Ives attacked Del Mar in her Sunday “Break Through” newsletter for forming a bipartisan slate to run in the 2025 Palatine township election. Ives calls the move “shocking,” given there was an opportunity to file with the Republican caucus. The full column is here. ( https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/15/aaron-del-mar-betrays-republicans-concocts-shared-power-agreement-w-democrats ) Del Mar defends it, telling Playbook that he joined the bipartisan slate knowing that in spite of Donald Trump’s victory earlier this month, Palatine is shifting blue and he didn’t want to risk Republicans potentially being beat out during the April 1, 2025, consolidated election. “My job as committeeman is to keep Republicans elected. We knew it would be possible by doing a slate. We are reasonable human beings and would have supermajority control,” Del Mar said, adding he received a death threat over the issue after it went public in Ives’ column. Why it matters: Del Mar and Ives are seen as potential statewide Republican candidates — maybe for governor — in 2026.

— Aaron Del Mar Betrays Republicans – Concocts Shared Power Agreement w/Democrats
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/15/aaron-del-mar-betrays-republicans-concocts-shared-power-agreement-w-democrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Local Palatine Republicans were shocked this week when they were asked to sign nominating petitions for current Republican Township Officials, and later found out that they had never been told by the circulators that two of the candidates on those petitions are in fact, DEMOCRATS. Even more shocking than this, it turns out that the petition is for a brand-new political party in Palatine Township, formed with the blessing of the sitting Highway Commissioner who happens to be… the Palatine Township REPUBLICAN Committeeman himself, Aaron Del Mar, whose main job is to see that Republican Candidates get elected in the township. Del Mar is also the 5th Congressional District State Central Committeeman and the Illinois REPUBLICAN Party Co-Chairman. He ran for Lieutenant Governor as a Republican in 2022. All eight township positions are up for election and both the Republican and Democrat parties could have filed slates at their individual caucuses, that would have given their respective constituencies their rightful ability to vote at Caucus. However, this year, in a coordinated effort, neither the Republican or Democrat Township Committeemen filed to hold a caucus, and instead circulated petitions for a new Palatine Township United Party. Unless there are Independent Candidates that come forward prior to the Monday, November 18 deadline, this new “United Party” will have zero opposition, as there will be no township races on the general election ballot, thus disenfranchising all of the voters of Palatine Township. Palatine Township has been held by Republicans for more than 40 years. This election season, the Clerk and one Trustee chose not to run again. But, instead of recruiting two new Republicans for these open positions, the remaining Township Officials chose to secretly make a deal with Democrats and run on a slate together. The slate was formed with the blessing of the Republican Committeeman Aaron Del Mar and Republican Township Supervisor, Andy-John Kalkounos. Committeeman Del Mar chose not to email members of the Palatine Township Republican Organization (which he heads) or share on its website any information about the efforts to form a new bipartisan party. Longtime Palatine Township Republican voter Vicki Wilson noted, “Not much shocks me anymore, but it is egregious that Del Mar and Kalkounos would deceive us like this and betray the trust of the hard-working volunteers and Republican voters in Palatine Township. They care only about maintaining their own paid political positions with as little effort as possible. It is the duty of the Committeeman to bring people into the Republican tent, sharing why our principles work best for everyone. This is a betrayal on numerous levels. With a uni-party, the voters always lose.” Both Natalie Sahinoglu and James Sloan are Democrats. Sloan voted in Democrat Primaries in 2016, 2018, and 2020. Sahinoglu voted in Democrat Primaries in 2020, 2022, and 2024. There is no record of either of them voting in a Republican Primary. Further proof that Sahinoglu and Sloan are Democrats comes from the Greater Palatine Area Democrat website under a calendar post asking followers to get petition signatures for the bi-partisan slate Sahinoglu and Sloan are a part of: “We have a chance to get two Palatine Democrats on the Township Board. Natalie Sahinoglu and James Sloan are running on a bi-partisan slate for Palatine Township Board. If this slate gets enough signatures, they will be the only candidates on the April 1, 2025 ballot for Palatine Township Board, and they will be voting members of the board.” Statement from Former Republican State Representative Tom Morrison: “It’s the duty of our Republican candidates and elected officials to go out, do the work, and make an honest case to voters. There is a difference between the parties and their governing philosophies. It’s one thing to attempt to find common ground or work across the aisle with other duly elected officials AFTER an election. But it seems our current Palatine Republican leadership would rather capitulate, BEFORE the fight. For those of us who’ve worked for decades to help keep Palatine in Republican hands, I disagree strongly with this move.” Statement from Jeanne Ives, former State Representative and current State Central Committeewoman (3rd District): “I’m calling on Aaron Del Mar to resign from all Republican leadership positions. Republican leaders do not recruit and run with Democrats on a bi-partisan slate. Republicans just showed gains in Illinois with Trump policies on the ballot. We need to expand on that momentum, not work to elect Democrats under the control of Pritzker who both vilifies Republicans and opposes common sense policies.” Monday, November 18th, is the last day to file petitions for the township races. Any qualified resident can still file to run as an Independent for any of the township offices. The only other option to oppose this slate is for a qualified resident to run as a write-in candidate.)

— Trump Pledged To Stop DEI And Fire Woke Bureaucrats. Here’s How He Can Do It. ‘There is a general feeling of dread among everyone,’ one career bureaucrat said. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action, DEI. up-or-out, and budget cuts to get rid of their Republican employees who like me were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-pledged-to-stop-dei-and-fire-woke-bureaucrats-heres-how-he-can-do-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump pledged to purge bureaucrats who push the left-wing the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda and could otherwise obstruct his policy agenda. Now, following a landslide victory, he’s finally going to get his chance. The Biden administration launched its whole-of-government approach to DEI with a pair of executive orders that left no agency unmarred by the left-wing ideology, even capturing institutions essential to America’s defense, intelligence gathering, and foreign policy operations. Federal bureaucrats now expect Trump to sign an executive order shuttering DEI offices and operations throughout executive agencies. In total, agencies under the Biden administration are believed to have planned or taken an estimated 500 actions intended to embed and promote DEI. An ongoing series of Daily Wire investigations highlighted how the federal government has been captured by the DEI agenda, documenting some of the most extreme ways in which the ideology impacted the operations of the federal government. DEI officials in each agency enlisted federal employees across the government to form “affinity groups” and “employee resource groups, identity-based employee organizations that effectively serve as far-left activist nodes within America’s executive agencies. The affinity groups had support from the Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s human resources department, which said that affinity groups “support agency efforts to strategically advance DEI.” The Trump administration could use these affinity groups to expedite its DEI purge, using membership lists to identify bureaucrats who use their post to advance woke ideology — and who could potentially seek to obstruct Trump’s agenda. Trump will have the authority to shut down DEI offices throughout the federal government, but formally ending the infrastructure used to push the ideology within the executive branch may not be sufficient on its own to purge the doctrine from the bureaucracy. Former Trump administration official Ben Carson told The Daily Wire that bureaucrats would often attempt to defy the president’s orders when they personally disagreed with them. “Their tendency would be to try to slow-walk things that they disagreed with,” Carson explained. The America First Policy Institute’s James Sherk, a former Trump administration official, outlined how bureaucrats worked to block the president’s agenda through a combination of underperformance, obfuscation, and “outright insubordination.” “Some career employees went beyond withholding information — they actively misrepresented the facts about what agencies could, or could not, do,” Sherk explained in a report for AFPI, adding that other bureaucrats “would flatly disregard political appointees’ directions and instead do what they thought best. Such insubordination and intransigence occurred commonly in some agencies and infrequently in others.” Former White House Director of Operations for Presidential Personnel James Bacon asserted that bureaucracy’s ability to sidestep the president undermines the will of the American people, who expect those who they elect to have the power to change and enact policy. “If the policies stay the same no matter who you elect, that’s when democracy is dead,” Bacon contends. “The founders chose Congress and the Supreme Court as the check on executive power, not the president’s staff.” Media outlets documented this same bureaucratic resistance in the early days of the Trump administration, with Bloomberg News writing that “officials have found it best to simply delay implementation of new initiatives in hopes they may be modified or canceled” in a piece titled “Washington Bureaucrats Are Quietly Working To Undermine Trump’s Agenda.” The Washington Post reported that Trump faced “resistance from within” as federal agents worked to halt the president’s policy agenda. “Less than two weeks into Trump’s administration, federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives,” the outlet reported. The reports from former Trump administration officials and members of the media alike indicate that scrapping DEI on paper may not truly mark the end of the ideology and its influence on the federal government. But the Trump administration is also expected to conduct a purge of bureaucrats who may otherwise attempt to obstruct the president’s policy agenda and work to maintain the influence of DEI and far-left ideology within the government. Trump has announced that he will reissue his “2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to remove woke bureaucrats.” The order in question would reclassify tens of thousands of bureaucrats and make them fireable by the executive. These bureaucrats work under about 4,000 political appointees chosen by the president in conjunction with his Presidential Personnel Office. But, unlike these appointees, the bureaucrats maintain their employment across presidential administrations — even those they may be hostile towards. The executive order, which Trump signed but which could not be fully implemented before he left office, would remove civil service protections from those bureaucrats, who some say are excessively difficult to fire. It is only one of the ways that Trump could potentially ensure that the executive agencies comply with his policies, however. As president, Trump will also be able to work with Congress to rescind funding from agencies he deems bloated or insolent, offering him another lever to use against bureaucrats who he believes may undermine his agenda. The impending effort from the incoming Trump administration has reportedly already sent shockwaves throughout the administrative state. “I would say there is a general feeling of dread among everyone,” one bureaucrat said. “We are absolutely having conversations among ourselves about whether we can stomach a round two.”)

— Parties Forego Primary Elections in McHenry Township in Favor of Caucuses (COMMENT: It would be great if township parties would issue press releases concerning this.)
https://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/11/15/parties-forego-primary-elections-in-mchenry-township-in-favor-of-caucuses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thanks to a bill crafted in 1973 by State Senator Jack Schaffer and myself, township parties in larger townships have the option of selecting their candidates in a party caucus or a party primary. In Algonquin and Nunda Townships, the Republicans have opted for primary elections. In McHenry Township both parties have opted for caucuses to nominate their candidates.)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponent despise/hate Trump. They blame Trump for all their problems. From what I see, because Trump won, my critics/opponents are going to take more and bigger adverse actions against me. Since 2016, my critics/opponents have blamed Trump for the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois and DuPage County and especially those candidates on the ballot in my precinct. They have painted me as being Trump’s de-facto campaign manager in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2015. In 2015, they gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021 they ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, they removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you owe your successes in life to? According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Those who do not share my demographics are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Those who do not share my demographics are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or RINO. In my defense, 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. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If you were nominated for something, what would your critics/opponents use against you? Mine would stress their success in a) removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my membership in the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, k) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, l) getting GAO to force me to retire in 1997, m) etc. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. – Dave Diersen

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. (SEE: https://gop.com/about-our-party/ ) The Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. Now that Trump has won, the top priority for Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, and precinct committeemen/captains in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality should be a) countering the tremendous hatred that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have promoted against Trump and b) promoting the Republican Party platform and that Trump can and will defend and advance that platform. Those who fail/refuse to do the aforesaid should immediately resign. As long as hatred against Trump is not countered, as long as the Republican Party is not promoted, Democrats and RINOs will continue to vote for Democrats. – Dave Diersen

— Durbin questions RFK Jr., Gaetz picks; Rubio and others are ‘worthy choice’ (COMMENT: Who has picked you for what and why? The IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 picked me for a high-profile assignment in 1973 and promoted me in 1974 because of my performance on that assignment. His superiors were furious about that. They soon got rid of him. According to his superiors, he should have given the assignment to one of my coworkers who was Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Unlike my coworkers, I had been taking graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972.)

I hope that he focuses on discouraging the promotion of 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, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

In today’s dollars, so far, that has been $1,770,180. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years, b) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, c) earning a CPA license, and d) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.)

I should write about the success that RINO leaders have had getting rid of me. Anticipate/expect that they will recruit a registered Republican voter in my precinct to run against me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2026 like they did in 2000.

https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/how-hegseths-tattoo-got-him-barred-from-working-at-bidens-inauguration-0bd0efeb
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The email, dated Jan. 14 and sent from a former Washington, D.C., Guard member, included an attachment showing a shirtless Hegseth with a tattoo on his bicep inscribed, “Deus Vult.” A quick google search told Gaither the Latin phrase means “God wills it,” which served as a battle cry for Christians during the Crusades and has become associated with white extremist groups, he told The Wall Street Journal. The pictures also showed that Hegseth has a large Jerusalem cross tattoo. Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross—it was the “Deus Vult” that worried him.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois educators can brag about record graduation rates, but the sad fact is the state is graduating students that are the least prepared they’ve ever been for life in the working world. Just 31% of high schoolers scored proficient in reading on the SAT in 2024. For black students, it was only 12%. And white student proficiency fell a whopping 9.5 percentage points from 2017, to just 42%. Math results for 2024 were even more abysmal, with high school SAT proficiencies hitting post-2017 lows across all major demographics. A mere 7% of black students and just 26% of all students statewide were proficient in math on the SAT.)

— Trump must take action against ‘untouchable’ bureaucrats (COMMENT: A big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980 was that GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. I soon learned that claim was patently false. I soon learned that GAO’s Chicago office was run by liberal/nasty/vicious Democrats who hated Republicans and especially hated Republicans who shared my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, non-poor, childless, former executive branch employee, former union member, etc. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me, but I nevertheless survived for almost 18 years. I would not have survived for that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 (accounting) and in 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job related professional license (CPA) in 1981.)
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trump-must-take-action-against-untouchable-bureaucrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The president has the constitutional authority to fire anyone from the executive branch — including ‘independent’ agencies. An estimated 2.2 million civilian federal workers serve at the pleasure of the president, despite only 4,000 being designated as political appointees. Donald Trump’s first priority as he prepares to retake office must be to establish that he can fire any of them. Whether they hold political appointments, Senate-confirmed positions, or civil service roles, all federal employees are subject to the president’s authority to terminate their employment. This includes workers in any department or so-called “independent” agency. If a congressional statute conflicts with his authority to fire someone, that statute is unconstitutional and must yield to the president’s plenary firing authority. Ironically, Trump’s biggest failure in his first term was his reluctance to say his famous line, “You’re fired!” To succeed in a second term, he must remove anyone who does not share his campaign vision. His primary promises are to reduce inflation and eliminate the deep state. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is already challenging both promises, presenting Trump with an early test of his resolve.

One of my NIU roommates had wealthy parents who got him an internship at a big CPA firm. He got hired by that firm and soon became a partner. I should have majored in accounting. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 29. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 30. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

— Senate confirms April Perry, former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, to be a federal district judge
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/12/april-perry-illinois-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In April, Biden nominated Perry to be a federal district judge after Sen. Richard Durbin had recommended her for the judgeship. Perry’s nomination to be a judge — a position that carries a life tenure — came in a roundabout way. She was nominated last year to be the first female U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Her nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate — despite being voted out of committee — after Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who now is the vice president-elect, objected to her nomination. He also said he held up all other nominations in the federal Department of Justice because of federal indictments of former President Donald Trump. Vance later added that he also was opposed to Perry’s nomination to be U.S. attorney because of her role in the Jussie Smollett case, where the “Empire” actor falsely claimed he was the victim of a hate crime. Vance accused Perry of rubber stamping unethical decisions made by the office of Perry’s then-boss, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. . .Tuesday’s 51-44 vote was largely — though not entirely — along party lines. Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski both supported Perry’s nomination. Three Republican senators, including Vance, missed the vote.)

They wasted what I had learned a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting and finance, c) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) earning a CPA license. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/business/money-report/trump-says-musk-and-ramaswamy-will-lead-government-efficiency-group/3599294/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump wrote in a post that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will “become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.” He also said the group would, “pave the way” for his next administration to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”)

CHICAGO MAROON
— How Do Democratic and Republican Students Feel About Election Results?
https://chicagomaroon.com/44616/news/how-do-democratic-and-republican-students-feel-about-election-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Second-year Akshay Kirthi, a self-identified Republican, expressed a sense of validation from the results of the presidential election, which he believes demonstrated that the Democratic Party is out of touch with the American majority. He believes the strength of Trump’s results reflected the domestic and economic priorities of the American people. “[Democrats] have denigrated the American people for their choice in this election. They called the majority of this country sexist, bigoted, homophobic, deplorable, ignorant, and worse,” Kirthi said. Similarly, fourth-year Hank Hyatt, who is a part of the leadership of College Republicans, felt the election results matched his prediction. “I definitely did believe Trump was going to win,” Hyatt said. “Personally, I’m very excited for the future.” Both Chaudhry and Kirthi commented on the nationwide change in voting this election cycle. “In comparison to 2020, I think it shows there has been a large Republican shift,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi saw this trend in a more optimistic light. “Fundamentally, the American people want change. They want a vision to grow the economy, close the border, end the wars around the world, and control the federal bureaucracy,” Kirthi said. While much of the focus of this election season has been on the presidential race, both sides identified positive results in the smaller, more localized races, such as state Senate elections. For Chaudhry, Democratic Senate victories in Michigan (Elissa Slotkin) and Wisconsin (Tammy Baldwin) have helped her remain hopeful. “Sometimes, zooming in, it’s validating to know that there are smaller areas of hope and impactful elections that happened this season,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi believes that with a Republican-controlled House, Senate, and presidency, there are more opportunities for Trump to follow through with his policies. Although the House majority has not been set yet, many project that Republicans will hold on to their majority. “Trump will be able to take his agenda far further in 2024 because he knows who the bad actors are [in Washington], understands more clearly what his agenda has to be, and knows the personnel and the transition team [he needs] to help him achieve this goal,” Kirthi said. “Trump clearly will be able to implement a much more defined America First agenda. The next presidential cycle provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to either realign or reaffirm their party’s goals and promises. Chaudhry highlighted the necessity for the Democratic Party to look internally and identify the priorities of young and working-class voters. “Aligning the Democratic Party with working-class people in America is really important,” Chaudhry said. “Democrats need to refocus on issues like the economy and immigration that are very winnable. ”Kirthi, too, sees this as a learning opportunity for the Democrats. “Look into the mirror and acknowledge why the American people didn’t buy into their vision this time,” Kirthi said. “The American people have given the Republican Party a mandate of trust to fully implement their vision, but this trust is contingent on good governance and delivering on promises.”)

The aforesaid brings forth poverty and crime. 477 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton voted for Democrat Harris and between 430 and 349 voted for the other Democrats on the ballot.

— Trump’s election is a referendum on DEI (COMMENT: My critics/opponents reject meritocracy, except that they credit meritocracy for all their successes in life. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2024/11/07/trumps-election-is-a-referendum-on-dei-1501077/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America has flourished because we are a meritocracy. The Biden/Harris administration has endorsed the replacement of meritocracy with the phony banner of diversity. Meritocracy and diversity are opposites. Instead of promoting people based on competence, advocates of diversity want promotions to be based on race and gender. With the ascendancy of identity politics, said Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, “skin color trumps merit—as long as that skin isn’t white.” “The rejection of objective standards of accomplishment is nihilistic,” said Heather Mac Donald in When Race Trumps Merit. “The diversity movement deems color-blind measures of competence to be unjust instruments of racial exclusion.” The entire basis of American exceptionalism—competence—is being outlawed. Evidence of the trend is everywhere. The majority of top-25 medical schools are supporting equity and critical race theory. “Medical schools are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession,” says Heather Mac Donald. The physician performing your brain surgery could be the product of affirmative action. Going in for surgery would become an act of suicide, as surgeons are no longer held to standards of excellence. United Airlines has thrown merit to the winds by announcing that 50 percent of all new pilots will be chosen from among minorities and women. Eligibility for an Academy Award will no longer be based on merit. Nominees must adhere to a quota of minorities and women in both cast and crew. Thanks to the Democrats, diversity has been applied to candidates for high office. Enter Kamala Harris—a vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views—who on Tuesday came within a hair’s breadth of the presidency. How could we allow that to happen? . . The day we repudiate merit is the day America crumbles. Happily, that day has not arrived and Harris is not the president-elect. Never forget how close we came.)

— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly discourage use of E-Verify, that is, Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. My critics/opponents cannot say that because their parents were wealthy, they bought them cars, they paid for their college expenses, and they got them jobs. I should write about my critics/opponents.
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/what-illinois-employers-using-e-verify-1352993/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An amendment to the Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act going into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, imposes many new obligations on employers regarding the use of E-Verify – some that go beyond federal E-Verify requirements. The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has published guidance on the law that also clarifies that the law does not ban the use of E-Verify in Illinois. The new law includes strict deadlines for employer notifications and attestations, among other requirements. In addition to clarifying that E-Verify can be used in Illinois, the new guidance: Urges employers using E-Verify to familiarize themselves with information on the IDOL website about the accuracy of E-Verify; Prohibits misuse of E-Verify, including for pre-screening; Encourages employers to review and understand their legal responsibilities regarding posting and notice requirements; Reminds employers that employees may file complaints for alleged violations with IDOL; and Explains that any adverse action against an employee or applicant who files a complaint under the Right to Privacy Act is prohibited. Illinois employers will violate state law by: Failing to display E-Verify notices supplied by the federal and Illinois state governments; Failing to have all employees who use the system participate in the required computer-based training; Failing to prevent employees from circumventing the training requirement; Misusing E-Verify in any way including using the system for pre-screening or screening current employees; Failing to safeguard the information in the system and preventing unauthorized access; and Failing to follow the notification and attestation requirements in the law. The law imposes on employers notification and attestation requirements that are particularly detailed. Here are just some examples: Upon initial enrollment in E-Verify or within 30 days of the effective date of the amendment (Jan. 1, 2025), the employer must file an attestation that they have received all the training materials and that they will do the training, post the required notices, and retain all certifications of completion of training for possible inspection. If the employer contends there is a discrepancy in the employment verification documents provided by an employee, the employer must explain the specific deficiency to the employee, provide the employee with instructions as to how to correct the deficiency, explain that the employee has a right to representation, and, upon request, provide the original document that provides the basis for the deficiency within 7 business days. When an employer receives a notification of a discrepancy from a state or federal agency: Employer cannot take any adverse action including re-verification based on the notification. Employer must provide notification to the employee not more than 5 business days after receipt of notification. Employer must provide an explanation of discrepancy, time period to contest, and provide the original notice within 7 business days. Employer must provide notification to employee’s representative within same time frame. Notification should be by hand if possible, but if not possible, notification must be by mail and email. When an employer receives notice of an upcoming inspection by an agency of I-9 forms or other related documents: Employer must provide notice to all employees in all relevant languages within 72 hours of receipt of the notice. Employer must also provide written notice to employees’ representatives, when applicable. Notice should include details regarding the conducting agency, the date the notice was received, the nature of the inspection and a copy of the notice. (IDOL is expected to prepare a template for this notification.) If during an inspection, a problem is uncovered about a specific employee: Employer must provide written notice to the employee and employee’s representative within 5 business days. Notice should be provided in person if possible or by mail and email. Notice should include a full explanation of what was found, the time period for the employee to notify the employer if they plan to contest the finding, the time and date of any upcoming meetings on the topic, and the employee’s right to representation. If the employee contests the determination, the employer must notify the employee within 72 hours after receipt of a final determination and provide the original notice within 7 business days.)

— Wheaton business owner faces backlash, garners support for public show of support for President-elect Trump
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/suburban-business-owner-faces-backlash-garners-support-for-public-show-of-support-for-president-elect-trump/3596501/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A small business in suburban Wheaton is facing controversy after showing their support for President-elect Donald Trump in wake of the 2024 election. Moveable Feast, a Latino-owned family business, put up a banner in front of the restaurant that reads “Jesus is my savior” and “Trump is my president.” “I grew up in Wheaton my whole life, so it was a little shocking to be honest because you know you can have different opinions, that’s fine, that’s what America is founded on and you’re allowed to have our own opinions,” Matthew Marquez, the restaurant’s owner, said. Marquez said he opened the business’ doors six years ago, building their restaurant on their faith. On Friday afternoon, the eatery was bustling with customers expressing their support and right to free speech. “I feel like we are who we are unapologetically, and we didn’t intend to offend anyone,” he said. “I thought maybe it would be a few people, who would walk by kinda look at the sign and frown at it or give it a thumbs up and then move on, but it came way more than that really quicky.” Two weeks before the election, the owner put up a “Make America Healthy Again” poster, and since adding the banner, the owner said they’ve received more than 500 hateful messages and comments from customers by phone and across social media. “A lot of people are saying: four letter words you lost my business, thank you for posting this, I appreciate what racist would announce themselves,” he shared. “I won’t be spending money in your establishment—I’ll let everyone know now to give money to support a convicted felon.” Marquez said longtime customers cut ties with them and cancelled catering orders. “I’ve spoken to many of these people over the past six years and they never have called me a racist, a woman-hating pig, but when I put that sign up all of a sudden, that’s what people said,” he said. “I think people know our true hearts and that’s why they’re supporting us.” The owner said business is up almost 50% since putting up the banner. Customers from different suburbs have been showing their support after hearing about the hate messages. “A lot of times people feel they have to be silent,” Jasmine Dolce, a first-time customer said. “They can’t support who they want to support, and they went out there and they put themselves out there and I’m really glad they did.” “That’s a big swing with a business to kind of take a side,” Bianca Stone, another first-time customer said. “But I realize that they’re also part of the silent majority.” The owner is overwhelmed and thankful for the support from customers from both sides of the aisles and said he doesn’t regret his decision. “Everyone can agree to disagree, that’s a phrase that seems like it’s gone out of the window,” he said. “But whether you agree politically or even religiously with what I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinions and that’s what we think and we’re proud to say it.”)
— Trump will name more conservative judges. He may even pick a majority of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court doesn’t have any vacancies, but Republicans are keeping a close eye on Justices Alito and Thomas for potential retirements in Trump’s second term.

— Controversial signs at Wheaton restaurant ignite support among customers
https://wgntv.com/news/dupage-county/wheaton-restaurant-signs-reaction/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxU0CO9S2f0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton restaurant owner was surprised at the reaction he received after posting two signs at his establishment. The community, however, has rallied behind him to show their support. Matt Marquez, owner of Moveable Feast + Company in Wheaton, described the backlash he’s been receiving after installing two signs outside his restaurant earlier this week. “It’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ which we strongly believe in and we put a picture of our storefront, and then we put another sign that said ‘Jesus is my Savior,’ and ‘Trump is my president,’” Marquez said. He never imagined displaying the signs would provoke hostile reactions. “We started getting tons of messages of just horrible negativity and threats and just really, really bad things and attacking my family personally,” Marquez said. He went and shared the negative feedback on social media. Although he said the criticism was intense at first, the support from customers began pouring in. “You could’ve voted for somebody else in the White House. You still have First Amendment rights. Those rights don’t end because of your feelings,” customer Kim Tameling said. “It takes courage in the world today to stand up for something you believe in and people have against. We just wanted to encourage them,” customer Alicia Piech added. According to Marquez, the beauty of this country lies in the freedom here all can express their beliefs. He believes in the power of having constructive dialogue rather than fueling division or hate. “This is the Wheaton I know, the one that rallies around people,” he said. “I’m happy to have anyone talk about it. I think it’s really something I would love to talk about.” Marquez also shared that while not everyone agrees with the signs, another positive outcome – aside from the overwhelming encouragement – is the sense of unity the signs have created among people with differing opinions, who are now dining together in the same space.)

— Leftists Trying to Destroy Wheaton Restaurant Over Trump Banner
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/07/leftists-trying-to-destroy-wheaton-illinois-restaurant-over-trump-banner
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The day after the election, a local and much-loved restaurant in Wheaton, Illinois put up a banner that says, “JESUS IS MY SAVIOR” on one side and “TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT” on the other side, with an image of the American flag in between. According to an Instagram post from the owners, the restaurant, Moveable Feast + Co, immediately began receiving hateful comments that included threats of lawsuits and warnings that the restaurant would be put out of business. In addition, the restaurant, owned by Matt and Ashley Marquez, was reported to the health department. It’s safe to assume that these hateful, intolerant, bigoted comments, and threats to destroy the Marquez family’s livelihood came from supporters of the joyful unifier Kamala Harris. Several years ago, I wrote about the “Hate Has No Home Here” yard signs popping up all over Wheaton to sneakily scold and condemn Trump supporters. Sadly, as Matt and Ashley Marquez, parents of four young children, are learning, hate has a home everywhere, particularly wherever leftists live. Here are a few of the ugly ignorant comments, ranging from the vengeful to the vulgar to the childish, that were sent to Moveable Feast: “Good luck! You’ll be closed in a few years.” “Fuck you. You’ve lost my business.” “Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate when racists announce themselves. It makes deciding where to spend my money so much easier.” “I won’t be spending my money at your establishment. I will also let my family and friends know not to give money to someone who supports a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist. I’ll also make sure to share on my socials, so that everyone knows what kind of people own this establishment.” “I bet you ate paint chips as a child. Why would you bring politics into your business, no wonder you’ve been struggling. No ones going to feel bad for you when you go under. And btw Trump isn’t going to bail you out.” What these moral ciphers are saying is that if their fellow citizens don’t vote the way the ciphers want, they shouldn’t be able to make a living. So filled with the milk of human kindness and a desire for unity amid diversity. #EPluribusUnum Such actions and words expose common leftist sentiments: They don’t value tolerance or diversity, and they loathe freedom to choose unless they have the unilateral power to circumscribe the choices. Nasty commenter #5, who presumes to know how all people will feel if the Nasties are successful in destroying the Marquez’s business, asks why the Marquez family would bring “politics” into their business. It’s an odd question from a leftist in that leftists have been bringing their politics into their businesses and everyone else’s for years. Leftists have culturally appropriated the entire month of June during which businesses big and small all over the country put up banners, signs, and symbols announcing their reverence for and celebration of leftist theories about sexuality and gender. Leftists have coerced corporate America to indoctrinate employees with CRT/DEI propaganda and advertise those political beliefs. Remember Target? Remember Bud Light? Leftists have coerced all of the entertainment industry to genuflect to the homosexual/trans industrial complex. Now, every streaming series, every movie, and even many children’s programs are politicized with leftist messages about sexuality and gender. I doubt that Nasty #5 objects to any of that politicization of business. Instead, he/she/ze aims his/her/zir ire, virulent hatred, intolerance, bigotry, and destructive impulses straight at a small family-owned business in a small town in the Midwest. Word to Nasty #5: Trump is your president too. Over 72 million of your fellow Americans voted for him, and he is now the president of all Americans. Or do you not accept the results of the election? Nasty #4 libelously called Matt and Ashley Marquez racists. Why would he/she level that peculiar accusation—I mean, other than that’s the go-to ad hominem of leftists these days? Marquez is a Spanish surname and common in Mexico. Maybe Nasty #4 was so busy drowning in his/her leftist tears in his/her safe space that he/she didn’t notice how many Latin and black men and women voted for Trump. Are they racists too? What about the Harris supporters who say all whites are racist? Are those Harris supporters racist? Nasty #4 is so furious at anyone who voted for “a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist” that he/she wants to destroy their ability to feed their children. Instead, Nasty #4 wanted Americans to vote for a woman, who lied to the American people repeatedly for years about Biden’s cognitive ability; who supported the corrupt influence-peddler Joe Biden; who supports the unfettered legal right of women to have their offspring—living humans with their own unique DNA and bodies—slaughtered for any or no reason until the day of their birth; who opened wide the border, allowing human traffickers and drug dealers to wreak havoc in America; who wanted struggling American taxpayers to pay to turn prisoners into eunuchs; who wants to allow men to invade women’s sports and private spaces; who has supported economic and energy policies that have left the finances of ordinary Americans in shambles; who is married to a man who knocked up his young children’s nanny and hit his previous girlfriend so hard his assault spun her around; and who opposes school choice. And Nasty #4 wants all Americans who voted for Trump to see their livelihoods go up in flames. That, my friends, is the leftist reimagining of safety, tolerance, diversity, unity, and compassion. If you are in the Wheaton, Illinois area, consider supporting Moveable Feast + Co. Word on the street is the food, service, ambience, and owners are fantastic.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker The 59-year-old Illinois governor, a billionaire who is heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire, could easily fund a campaign for the White House and there were signs, after Biden’s disastrous debate earlier this year, that he was prepared to step up to the national stage. Pritzker is best known for signing a historic bill that will raise the minimum wage in Illinois to $15 per hour by 2025, for his action to hold gun manufacturers accountable for the gun violence caused by unsafe marketing practices, and for defending abortion rights in the state. This year, the governor signed multiple bills expanding reproductive rights in Illinois and his nonprofit group, Think Big America, hassled to help states with a ballot question on abortion rights move forward to advance their initiatives. These—gun safety, minimum wages, and abortion rights—are all issues likely to appeal to Democratic voters on the national level.)

Extremely few of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were conservative while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, and Post Office 1966-1969. Conservatives have not been the majority in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Illinois Republican Party at least since 1999.)
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/11/7/anderson-harvard-need-more-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was all shock and bewilderment on Harvard’s campus today as news circulated that former President Donald Trump had won back the White House. While Harvardians are still struggling to understand the win, their very confusion is entirely predictable. Of course we are shocked that Trump has won: we study at a single-party school. With just over five percent of Harvard’s Class of 2027 identifying as Republican according to the Crimson’s freshman survey, it’s hard to overstate how politically homogeneous our campus is. You’d probably have a better chance of finding a Republican at the Democratic National Convention than in Harvard Yard. It is possible that a Harvard undergraduate — especially in a progressive concentration — could go through an entire semester not engaging with a single conservative classmate or professor. And with critiques of Harvard’s free speech culture widespread, even when Republicans are represented in the classroom, it’s conceivable that their views might be stifled. This lack of exposure to truly diverse perspectives is antithetical to Harvard’s mission of educating “the citizens and citizen-leaders for our society.” The College has long understood this commitment to require diverse representation of those citizens — we even fought all the way to the Supreme Court to defend this ideal.)
