DAILY HERALD
— University of Illinois settles federal civil rights complaint (COMMENT: When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because I had accepted that job offer, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me. Because I had to have a job to help support my mother and brother, I accepted a job offer from the Democrats who ran IRS. They offered me a job because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They had given weight to the fact that I had been a union member for almost 3 years while I worked my way through college.)

It is called religious discrimination. I would focus on those who have/had 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. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— HARDCOPY: How much difference will who’s elected president make to you? (COMMENT: If Harris or Trump is elected on November 5, 2024, my hate-filled Trump-hating critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party will do even more to get rid of me. They will do even more to discourage/stop a) me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) everyone from reading my newsletters. They will blame me and blame my newsletters even more for the defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct suffer on November 5, 2024. They will recruit a registered Republican voter in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton to run against me and to defeat me in 2026 for my Republican Precinct Committeeman job. If you were me, what would you do about the aforesaid?)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Pot is poison. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Overqualified? As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly had more education and more professional credentials than my supervisors and superiors had. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (1976), 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. The head of GAO during that time, Charles Bowsher, was not a CPA and he was not a licensed CPA like I was. While my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years with GAO had a master’s degree and had passed the CPA examination, she had no other professional certifications and she was not a licensed CPA like I was.)

For nearly a decade, former president Donald Trump has rallied voters around a cry to cut the size of the federal government and “drain the swamp.” (COMMENT: When Republicans slash federal agency budgets, the Democrats who run those agencies get rid of their Republican employees first and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) earned a master’s degree in Financial Markets and Trading from IIT in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump told NBC News this week, “We are going to be — under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment. “So, we’re going to be paying for that treatment, or we’re going to be mandating that the insurance companies pay,” he added.)

— Are you satisfied with your job? (COMMENT: The importance of GAO’s mission and the importance of the work that I did as a GAO Analyst helped me deal with my Democrat superiors’ ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my passing on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and e) my earning more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. They rudely forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

The ‘forgotten generation,’ born between 1965 and 1980, launched their careers at the start of a massive shift in how Americans work. – Hannah Miao (COMMENT: Everyone should save for their retirement like they might be forced to retire sooner than they had planned. Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1973 in today’s dollars. Since then, I earned three job -related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981). If my Democrat superiors had not wasted my career and had not forced me to retire early, my CSRS pension would be $153,600/year.)

They were furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974 and when GAO promoted me in1986.

POLITICO
— State delegations won’t stay at the Trump hotel. The Illinois delegation took the hotel that had a prime view of the former president’s property. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/08/19/dnc-live-updates-coverage/hotel-politics-00174668
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nearly 5,000 delegates who are visiting Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention are staying in eight hotels in the city’s downtown. We’ve got the list. ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-2fcf-d62b-a7df-ffeff6860000 ) Convention organizers have contracted with about 40 hotels to accommodate all the entourages and guests connected to the delegates and their state parties. But one hotel isn’t in the mix: Donald Trump’s Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. It’s not just that it’s a nonunion hotel — a requirement for the Democratic Party when it was looking for a convention town — it’s because of Trump. “Our party stands for unity, hope, and freedom — values that stand in fundamental opposition with everything the Trump name and brand represent,” Emily Soong, a spokesperson for the convention said. When it came time to assign delegations to the different hotels, Illinois picked the Royal Sonesta Chicago Hotel, which looks right at the river — and across from Trump hotel. The Illinois Democrats decided they would “take it on the chin” so that other delegations wouldn’t have to look out their windows to see the giant T-R-U-M-P sign on the side of the building, according to one Democratic insider. That also gives them a clear view of the trolling messages Democrats are projecting onto the building. Last night, my colleague Adam Wren spotted “PROJECT 2025 HQ,” among other messages, being beamed onto the building above that TRUMP sign.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: TONIGHT: Governor Pritzker Soft-Launches 2028 Presidential Campaign. CHICAGO — Last night, Americans heard from Joe Biden, whom elite Democrats unceremoniously removed from the ticket in an undemocratic process. Tonight, voters will listen to presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker, who will use his prime-time speech at the DNC as a stepping stone for a future presidential run – just as he used his time as governor to position himself as a viable national candidate. FIRST: Pritzker traveled to New Hampshire in 2022 to raise his profile and set up a future presidential run. THEN: Pritzker refused to quash rumors that he would leave Illinois to run for president when Democrats launched their soft coup against Joe Biden. THEN: When Kamala Harris was announced as the Democrats’ preferred choice, even though she never received a vote outside of California, Pritzker launched a full-court press campaign to become her vice president. NOW: After failing to earn the nod as the vice-presidential nominee, Pritzker immediately pivoted, making an effort to become the Democrats’ choice for president in 2028. Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement on Pritzker: “JB Pritzker failed Illinois as its governor allowing our state to be overrun by illegal border-crossers, out-of-control crime, billions of dollars in new taxes, and as a result, our great state is in slow decay. Illinois’ residents are leaving in unprecedented numbers due to Illinoisans being the overall highest taxed people in the nation. Businesses are taking flight leaving and Illinois’ citizens and taxpayers are left paying the check. As Pritzker soft-launches his campaign for president, Illinois families are hurting, and Pritzker doesn’t care – our state is just another stepping stone for him to advance his ambition while we are saddled with the heavy effect of his administration’s failed policies. One thing is clear from Pritzker’s prime-time speaking slot — the only way our state will have actual representation is by voting Republican in November.”

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June, several weeks before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the campaign hired former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s former chief of staff in June to focus on Republican outreach. . .Last week, a “Republicans for Harris” affinity group gathered online to hear from several high-profile Republicans including Kinzinger, former Rep. Denver Riggleman, former Republican White House officials and others. Additional Republican leaders are expected to speak at the Democratic convention in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the plans. Kinzinger is among them, according to a report by CNN.)

The civilian equivalent of Walz’s military rank of E-8 is GS-7 (currently $54,728/year). I was a) a GS-7 in 1971 when I was 22 years old, b) GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, c) GS-11 ($80,094) in 1973, d) GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974, and e) GS-13 ($115,439-$150,075) 1986-1997.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/18/fact-check-sen-tammy-duckworth-falsely-claims-tim-walz-is-a-retired-command-sergeant-major/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Tim Walz received his notification of eligibility for retirement on August 3, 2002. He was promoted to sergeant major (E-9) on September 17, 2004, and immediately began serving as the command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery while his packet was submitted to the National Guard Bureau to appoint him to command sergeant major (E-9). Once approved by NGB, he was laterally appointed to command sergeant major (E-9) on April 1, 2005. He retired from the Minnesota National Guard on May 16, 2005. Our records do not indicate when he made his request to retire. Leadership reviews and approves all requests to retire. He was administratively reduced to master sergeant (E-8) on May 15, 2005, because he did not complete all required U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy coursework.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/marclittle/2024/08/19/the-gops-black-wall-n2643561
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blacks, who comprise 18.2% of the federal bureaucracy run by Democrats, are not known for voting against the bureaucracy that feeds them. The fight to garner greater Black support cannot be left to influencers and rappers. An army of Black messengers must take the fight to the streets. Black voters are likely to elect the next president of the United States, so there must be a specific strategy and plan to get their votes. I fear no one has told Trump.)

— DNC comes to ‘Little Palestine’ as Gaza deaths top 40,000. – Michael Loria (COMMENT: To elect Harris/Walz, how anti-Israel will the Democrat Party become?)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/18/dnc-little-palestine-chicago-protest/74805536007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The decision to host the DNC in Chicago was made before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel killed 1,200 and sparked the brutal military campaign in Gaza. Since then, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died − and Chicago was transformed into a hotbed of anti-war activity ahead of Biden and Harris’ arrival. The region’s anti-war activism, which has included parades of pro-Palestinian truckers in the suburbs and encampments at the city’s top universities, has been led predominantly by local Palestinian Americans. In addition to calling for a ceasefire, many Chicago Palestinians are also motivated by a fear that Democrats’ lackluster opposition to the Gaza war has encouraged the kind of anti-Muslim vitriol that sparked crimes like the murder of 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume in an alleged hate crime in neighboring Will County.)

— How Biden Raised the Profile of the Free College Movement. – Katherine Knott (COMMEMT: Unlike me, my critics/opponents did not have to work their way through college. Many of them have degrees from Ivy League universities. My having to work my way through college harmed my GPA big time. I spent far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying while I was in high school 1964-1966. Consequently I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class and my ACT score was only 24. I spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying while I took classes at UIC 1966-1969 and NIU in 1969. Nevertheless, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240816/nation-and-world-politics/meet-the-suburban-delegates-to-the-democratic-national-convention/
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrats say the “Republican Party has found itself riven by the influence of its most extreme elements.” But not in Illinois. Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party and many other Republican Organizations in Illinois have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-platform Republicans, that is, by anti-Republicans. Most commonly, they reject the 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. That is why Republican candidates lose elections in Illinois.

It is a dangerous dynamic that threatens the future of our country, and it’s been exposed during our current president’s lamest of lame-duck final months in office. President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the commander in chief to vacation, snooze, and eat ice cream.)

The aforesaid has ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, my professional license, etc.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/failure-femmes-deis-tragic-destruction-of-law-enforcement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too: Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process. This is reflected in the recent story about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission Wednesday, at a North Carolina Donald Trump campaign event, to nurse her baby (tweet below). The woman, who works out of the Atlanta Field Office, wasn’t supposed to bring a child to a protective assignment in the first place. Apparently, though, the SS failures in Butler, Pennsylvania, that enabled the Trump assassination attempt didn’t make an impression on her.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2024/08/17/illinois-democrats-incumbent-republicans-6-state-house-races-house-speaker-chris-welch-rich-miller
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 47th House District: Rep. Amy Grant, R-Wheaton, vs. Jackie Williamson. President Joe Biden won this district by 12 percentage points four years ago. Every statewide Democratic candidate won the district two years ago, and Gov. JB Pritzker won it by 8 points. Grant’s campaign had just $13,542 in the bank at the end of June. She’s since reported raising a mere $10,000. Keep in mind that the House Democrats have a vast and ever-growing fundraising advantage over the House Republicans. So the money that these Republican incumbents have raised so far is much more important to understanding their predicaments. Grant is a strong abortion rights opponent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a news conference Friday, Illinois Republican state senators blasted the majority party’s policies. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, noted that Illinois is ranked as the least tax friendly state in the country. “As family budgets are stretched to their breaking point, forcing families to make really tough decisions, Illinois Democrats used their tax hikes to deliver the most expensive budget in state history,” said Rezin. Rezin added that at a time when Illinois families struggle to make ends meet, Illinois Democrats responded with $1 billion in new taxes. The largest tax hike in the budget approved earlier this year is the extension of the state’s cap on net operating losses, which will raise corporate income taxes for companies recently losing money by $526 million in the next fiscal year. State Sen. Don DeWitte, R-St. Charles, brought up the fact that Democrats refused to renew the Invest in Kids school choice tax credit scholarship program.)

— How would your career have been impacted if you had been born years later than you were? I was born in 1948. If I had been born years later, because of ever-increasing Democrat and RINO Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of ever-increasingly patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I would not have been able to a) get hired by the Post Office when I was 18, IRS when I was 22, or GAO when I was 31, b) get promoted by IRS when I was 23, 24, and 25, or c) get promoted by GAO when I was 38. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45. My Democrat GAO superiors would have forced me to retire then instead of letting work until I was 49 when their early retirement offer expired. I would not have been eligible to take regular retirement until I was 55.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois GOP urges focus on policies, not personalities during party’s day at State Fair. – JEREMY GORNER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/15/illinois-gop-urges-focus-on-policies-not-personalities-during-partys-day-at-state-fair/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans used their day at the State Fair Thursday to blame Democrats for crime, inflation and tax increases while urging a focus on policies, not personality as they head into a November election with a ticket led by presidential nominee Donald Trump, who twice has been overwhelmingly rejected by the state’s voters. New Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi opened a morning meeting by declaring the party will be unified and “will win in November 2024,” while subtly acknowledging the uphill battle for a party that has lost traction with the state’s electorate. “We’re on a mission to elect Trump fans and everyone down ticket,” Salvi told an audience of about 80 people at a joint meeting of the state party’s State Central Committee and County Chair’s Association. “So we’ve got to figure out a way to bring people together. There’s no better way to do that than bridging these gaps.” With Republicans becoming the party of Trump, winning back suburban areas that once consistently carried GOP candidates to victory will be a daunting task. The former president suffered 17-percentage point losses in Illinois during the 2016 and 2020 elections, pushing the state GOP into further irrelevance. Democrats, who hold their national convention in Chicago next week, control all three branches of state government, 14 of the state’s 17 congressional seats and both U.S. Senate seats. Republicans at the fair downplayed Trump’s influence on down-ballot races in recent years, blaming the Democrats for drawing gerrymandered maps in their favor that were then signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker. Republicans also blamed Pritzker for pushing through hundreds of millions of dollars in tax increases in the current state budget and continuing to provide state funding for the influx of migrants coming into the Chicago area from the southern U.S. border. “So, taxes, cost of living, crime, corruption. The most corrupt state in the nation,” Illinois Senate Republican leader John Curran of Downers Grove said in an interview before the GOP’s afternoon programming at the state fairgrounds. “This is what Gov. Pritzker’s Democratic allies have brought to Illinois.” After a slight rain delay, a couple of hundred people gathered for a GOP rally on the director’s lawn of the fairgrounds, where Salvi basted Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as a “trainwreck.” “Think about that convention. They’re about to nominate somebody who didn’t get one single vote,” Salvi said, referring to how Harris was handed the nomination after President Joe Biden quit the race. “What about democracy? You know, in a lot of countries, that would be called a coup! But do you hear anything about that? Nothing. Nada. Crickets. Well, that’s something that we could communicate.” Illinois House Republican leader Tony McCombie of Savanna told the crowd the Democratic Party “wants to destroy small business, hurt our most vulnerable and make families feel that they need to be reliant on government for everything.” “Democrats have been working for years to try to convince the people of Illinois and our nation that the Republican Party does not believe in democracy. But yet, Democrats want noncitizens and felons, I’m sorry, I mean justice-impacted individuals to vote,” McCombie said. Her quip alluded to a new state law championed by progressive Democrats that changes terminology for people convicted of felonies if they’re part of a special diversion program. McCombie did not mention that Trump was convicted of felonies earlier this year in his hush money trial in New York, though his sentencing was postponed after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled former presidents have broad immunity for “official” acts. The former president has two other cases pending, both involving charges that he plotted to steal the 2020 election win from Biden. McCombie said the November election wasn’t just about a presidential race but also about the governor’s race in 2026. While a few Republicans have expressed interest in possibly running, Pritzker has not said whether he will seek a third term. “Our turnout in this race will be instrumental in determining the future leadership for Illinois,” McCombie said. “This election cycle is about us. It’s about us showing up.” Illinois Republicans’ once winning statewide platform of moderation on social issues and fiscal conservatism has gradually been scuttled by a growing embrace of social conservatism, including opposition to gay rights and abortion. After the Thursday morning meeting, Myles Nelson, a GOP committeeman from the Metro East area of Illinois outside St. Louis, said for the state party to make inroads in blue Illinois, it has to convince voters to focus on policies instead of personalities. “We have to focus on the issues that bring those moderates and independents in the suburbs back to us, crime, corruption, costs of living. Go to the grocery store. Go to the gas pump. Everyone is feeling it,” said Nelson, a Trump delegate at last month’s GOP convention in Milwaukee. “And what the people of northern Illinois have to know is that Donald Trump’s policies were right.” Niki Conforti, a Republican who is challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten for his congressional seat in the Chicago suburbs, agreed that focusing on the issues is what should help the GOP regain the support it has lost over the years in the suburbs. “The crime, the cost of living, inflation, those are the issues that people are worried about today and it’s going to drive our people to the polls,” Conforti said. “We didn’t lose it overnight and we’re not going to win it back overnight. But we can make strides with each election cycle and take it back.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from voters who are the following, candidates in Illinois promise to use government to give them even more preference: those who have less money than others and/or are minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. Ever-increasingly, they promise to give those voters a) more DEI, that is, more patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination and/or b) more government assistance, LGBTQ, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or further diminishment of Second Amendment rights. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat Lite if not anti-Trump if not anti-conservative and fail/refuse to promote the 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 in the Republican Party platform. Of course, Democrat candidates in Illinois are overjoyed about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

GAO, I would have provided a jury with many examples of how my Democrat GAO superiors harmed me because I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://cookcountyrecord.com/stories/662728812-judge-evanston-teacher-hasn-t-shown-she-was-harmed-by-d65-s-anti-racism-policies-programs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal judge has tossed, for now, a lawsuit accusing an Evanston school district of illegally promoting racial division and discrimination within their schools through “anti-racism” policies and curriculum, as the judge said the white middle school teacher who brought the action has yet to show that she has been personally harmed by the district’s actions. On Aug. 9, U.S. District Judge John Tharp Jr. dismissed the legal action brought by plaintiff Stacy Deemar against Evanston/Skokie District 65. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning the judge is giving Deemar an opportunity to revise her lawsuit and perhaps address the shortcomings identified by the judge in her legal pleadings. The dismissal order comes after nearly three years of proceedings in federal court in the action.)
