Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Who do you want the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman to be and why? What education, work experience, and political, fundraising, professional, financial, etc. accomplishments do you want that person to have? What proof do you want that shows that person has defended and advanced and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks? I should write a book about what past IRP chairmen have done to defend and advance the aforesaid planks. It would be an extremely thin book. Obviously, the next IRP chairman cannot have any skeletons in his/her closets and has to be in a position to spend lots of their time and money to make the IRP successful, that is, to elect Republican candidates who can and will defend the Republican Party platform. The IRP has to dump its “Democrat Lite” policy of attracting independent voters by dumping conservative voters. All Republicans should promote the Republican Party platform.

If I had gotten a student-loan, my GPA at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 would have been much higher because I spent far too many hours working all the part-time hours for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 instead of studying.

Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois? Conservative leaders a) should write articles monthly/weekly/daily that promote planks in the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, b) should post those articles on their websites, and c) should include diersen@aol.com on their email lists. Conservative leaders should help elect Republican candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. In addition to being good writers, conservative leaders should be good public speakers, should have demonstrated leadership skills, should have relevant education, work experience, and other accomplishments, should have the necessary time and money, and should have no skeletons in their closets.
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters glorify and praise Tracy and use his resignation to demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans. I was not a member of any team organized to oust Tracy, Kolber, or Shaw. I did use my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to advocate for the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. I agree with my critics/opponents who blast me as not being a team player, that is, as being someone who they cannot manipulate or dominate. I am not an operative or dupe for anyone. No one can tell me what to do. Republican Precinct Committeemen should promote the Republican Party platform and those who promote that platform rather than serving as operatives or dupes for leaders or would be leaders of Republican organizations.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— (6/20/24) Don Tracy Ally Jeanne Ives Attacks Grassroots, IR, Trump Jr. Event, and now Setting Sights on IL GOP Chairmanship (COMMENT: What does Ives think of you? How has she treated you? I should write a book about how Ives has treated me since 2002.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/06/don-tracy-ally-jeanne-ives-attacks-grassroots-ir-trump-jr-event-and-now-setting-sights-on-il-gop-chairmanship.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ever since news broke that embattled Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy was resigning effective July 19th, Illinois GOP state central committee member Jeanne Ives has been working the phones trying to gauge support as she considers a potential run for the party’s top spot – despite spending the last two years angering the very base that made her, and was instrumental in Tracy’s decision to resign. In December of 2022, Ives stunned a room full of over 200 grassroots activists during a SSC meeting when she defended then IL GOP Finance Chairman Vince Kolber, who had just insulted the grassroots for not donating money to the state party – yelling – in an almost out of body experience that, “Vince is not your problem! This man gave me $750,000 when I ran against Gov. Bruce Rauner!” Just months before challenging Gov. Rauner in the GOP primary, Ives was seen smiling for a photo with her soon-to-be Republican political opponent. Rauner – bruised and damaged during a vicious primary against Ives, would lose his re-election to political newcomer JB Pritzker by 16 points – just two years before the pandemic and Gov. Pritzker’s shutdown orders and mask mandates. Last September, Ives endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president during the 2024 presidential primary, despite the wildly popular former president Donald Trump leading in the polls among Republicans over his political opponents, including DeSantis by over 30 points. And when Ives learned that the president’s son – Donald Trump Jr. was coming to Illinois to promote Letters to Trump last October, her team made requests to interview Trump Jr. on her radio show, and to speak on stage during the event. When the requests were turned down, and this publication accurately reported about it, she became angry – and went on Facebook attacking the event featuring Trump Jr. and falsely alleged that the hosts couldn’t sell tickets. And since that time, her popularity has been in decline, and her radio show, which is streamed live on Facebook, receives very little engagement. On May 26th, her 2-hour show received only five likes and two shares. But that has since changed because after this publication reported on it, Ives is now paying to boost her posts to make it appear as if her Facebook posts are more popular than they really are. In other words, she’s now paying for likes and comments. And over the last two years, Ives continues to trash this publication – the leading conservative news publication in the state. In an interview with Crain’s Chicago Business in April of 2023, Ives offered a stunning on-the-record quote when asked to comment about IR, stating, “I don’t read their garbage.” Sources also confirm to IR that during that same time frame last Spring, Ives proposed in a private meeting that the SSC ban this publication, including then publisher Scott Kaspar and editor-in-chief Mark Vargas from attending all future IL GOP meetings. The proposal was immediately shot down and the discussion shifted to another topic. Censoring media outlets is typical in third world countries ruled by dictators – and for Ives to suggest that the state party censor the leading conservative news publication in Illinois because she is bothered by the facts is alarming. In Russia, President Vladamir Putin signed into law legislation that criminalizes news publications from reporting on anything that contradicts, or is critical of his administration. In China, a country that leads the world in jailing reporters, there are an estimated 274 journalists currently in prison for reporting on stories that angered the ruling Communist political party – and citizen journalist Zhang Zahn sits in a Chinese prison for her reporting the facts during the pandemic. And in Iran, there are 41 journalists in prison for writing stories that exposed the corruption of Iranian authorities. Ever since her election to the Republican State Central Committee in 2022, Ives has abandoned her grassroots base for the IL GOP elites – becoming part of the establishment instead of opposing it. And never one to shy away from controversy, the former grassroots activist has never called on Don Tracy to resign – despite her base advocating for it. She never called on Kolber – who votes in Wisconsin and Illinois as a full time resident of both states simultaneously – to apologize for saying such offensive remarks to the grassroots during the SSC meeting in December of 2022. She never called on former Chicago GOP Chairman Steve Boulton to walk back his recently discovered Facebook comment in 2015 when he compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. And she never called out former SSC member Mark Shaw, who faked a delegate badge and threatened to beat up a fellow state central committee member during the IL GOP state convention last month – and demanded that he resign. In fact, during the state convention, Ives cut a deal and backed Shaw for national committeeman over the grassroots-backed candidate Dean White. And in early June, when the grassroots sent her emails about investigating Shaw’s behavior, Ives angrily posted a comment on her Facebook page, writing, “canned emails get a canned response.” The comment drew an immediate backlash as Republicans fired back calling Ives’ comment “ignorant” and “belittling” to the constituents she’s supposed to represent. While Ives is busy making phone calls trying to gauge support for a potential run at party chairwoman, sources have shared with this publication that she has very little support from SSC members – and that her elevation to state party chair is more than a long shot – it’s an impossibility. An IL GOP Search Committee will work to identify the new chair or co-chair following Tracy’s shock resignation late on Wednesday.)

— Trump dwarfs Biden in latest fundraising numbers in show of political force after felony conviction. – AP (COMMENT: Who has taken adverse actions against you? What have those adverse actions motivated you to do? My Democrat superiors took many big adverse actions against me. That motivated me a) to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) to earn job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) to earn job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1977, and d) to earn a job-related professional license in 1981. The aforesaid enabled me a) to get promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, and 1974, b) to get promoted by GAO in 1986, and c) to survive as a GAO employee until 1997. In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $150,075/year. Since 2000, anti-conservative leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have taken many big adverse actions against me. Those adverse actions continue to motivate me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to serve as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. Those adverse actions motivated me to survive as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors member 2001-2004.)

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

https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/06/20/illinois-republican-party-chairman-don-tracy-resigns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vanquished 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey — a former state senator and zealous Trump supporter who appealed directly to the grassroots movement — celebrated Tracy’s departure in a social media post, saying that the “cleansing of the Republican Party continues.” “The problem that Don, Mark, and many others simply don’t comprehend and refuse to understand is that they simply are failing to uphold the party platform. They believe that supporting liberal candidates who will work closely with Democrats is the answer. It’s not!” Bailey said. “Fake Republicans got us into this mess. Real Republicans standing firm will get us out!”)

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

But I would not have been able to do that if I had not earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-1970), two job-related master’s degrees (Loyola-1976 and DePaul-1980), two job-related professional certifications (CPA-1979 and Certified Internal Auditor-1981), and a job-related professional license (CPA-1981).)

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

https://capitolfax.com/2024/06/20/embattled-tracy-will-resign-as-ilgop-chair-preferably-no-later-than-the-day-after-republican-national-convention/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wednesday resignation press release from Don Tracy…As I told subscribers, Tracy sent out word of his resignation before the Tribune story was published. The Republican National Convention ends July 18. Democratic Party of Illinois react…Following the latest reports of Illinois GOP dysfunction and Chair Don Tracy’s sudden resignation, the Democratic Party of Illinois released the following statement: “While the IL GOP finds itself in chaos, the Democratic Party of Illinois enters the 2024 general election as a united party standing for freedom and opportunity for all of Illinois’ working families. As a reminder, last cycle, Illinois Democrats defeated the IL GOP’s MAGA candidate for Governor, re-elected Senator Tammy Duckworth, protected supermajorities in the IL General Assembly, and expanded our representation in Congress. In contrast, the IL GOP has been defined by a litany of electoral disasters, constant infighting, meager fundraising, and a strict adherence to a losing set of anti-choice, anti-worker, pro-Trump policies. While we don’t expect new leadership to change any of that, we do wish the best of luck to the inevitable MAGA extremist who will succeed Don Tracy as Chair.”)

— Millennials who can’t afford to buy homes are helping make suburban Chicago and Miami the most competitive rental markets in the US. (COMMENT: When you first bought real estate, what year was it, how old were you, what did you buy, how much were you earning in today’s dollars, and where did the money come from for the down payment? In 1972, when I was 24, I bought a new town home in University Park. I was earning $66,942/year in today’s dollars and the money for the down payment came from what I had earned a) working for IRS for 15 months, b) working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for 18 months, and c) working full-time for that store for 7 months before that.)

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

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

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

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

— What would you do if you were me? Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct that they should not want me to help elect them because I am “too conservative,” because my demographics are terrible, and even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I do to help elect a candidate, the fewer votes that candidate will get because I only help elect candidates who are “too conservative” to win general elections. According to them, the voters in my precinct despise/hate my demographics and overwhelmingly want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination even though Trump got 91 votes in my precinct and Haley got only 33. They want me to drop the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They boycotted the Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Collinsville this year. Should I contact the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in my precinct about this?

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

— What’s Wrong With Illegal Immigration? (COMMENT: To come into a country illegally and/or to stay in a country illegally is to demonstrate gross disrespect for the rule of law. Anticipate/expect that illegals will use their false identifications to register to vote and to vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats.)
https://www.fairus.org/issue/illegal-immigration/whats-wrong-illegal-immigration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegal Immigration Undermines the Rule of Law. Our country has a system of laws – from the federal down to the state and local levels. We expect those in the United States to abide by those laws, whether the law relates to a person’s civil liberties, respecting one’s property, or obeying red lights. When a law is broken, there should be consequences. Those who enter illegally or overstay their time in the United States are violating our immigration laws and disrespecting our system of government a clear indication that they may not abide by other laws. When the Rule of Law is degraded, cynicism, corruption, social discontent, and chaos can ensue.)

My Democrat superiors did everything that could to not hire Republicans, to waste the careers of their Republican employees, and to get rid of their Republican employees. They got rid of the Republican IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974.

FAST COMPANY
— High salaries, poor performance: These were the most overpaid CEOs last year. – CHRIS MORRIS (COMMENT: When did you start earning $100,000/year in today’s dollars? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, including Money Magazine, have always viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. I started earn $100,000/year in today’s dollars when I was a 26-year-old IRS employee in 1975. In my defense, I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I had worked for IRS for 4 years, and I had almost completed the requirements for an MBA from Loyola. I was on track to earn that MBA in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981. My salary was $150,075/year in 1997 in today’s dollars, but by then, I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, I had earned four more job-related professional certifications, I had earned that master’s degree from DePaul and I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.)

— The Biggest Reasons Federal Employees Retire at Age 57 – Dallen Haws (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, those Democrats will force you to retire as soon as you are eligible if they had not promoted you to Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year. They succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997, 6 years before I would have been eligible for regular retirement.)

CONVERSATION
— Ready for the next step in your career? – Leda Stawnychko and Ean Tsou (COMMERNT: What did you do to advance your career? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. What did your coworkers do to advance their careers? My coworkers helped their superiors and their supervisors get rid of their employees who were Republican and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

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

— After Would-Be Illinois GOP Candidates Sue, Judge Considering Whether Slated Candidates Can Appear on November Ballot – Hannah Meisel (COMMENT: U.S. President was the only contested Republican primary race in my precinct. One office would have been “no candidate” if it had not been filled by write-in. As Democrats ever-increasingly run Illinois, anticipate/expect fewer and fewer and fewer candidates will run as Republicans. Further, anticipate/expect that fewer and fewer and fewer of them will be conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://news.wttw.com/2024/06/03/after-would-be-illinois-gop-candidates-sue-judge-considering-whether-slated-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sangamon County judge is weighing whether to block a new state law that bans the long-practiced tradition of political parties slating candidates for a general election after sitting out of a primary race. Democrats who control the General Assembly pushed the measure through the legislative process and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed it into law in a matter of days last month, arguing that slating is unfair to voters who didn’t get a say in a primary contest. Several would-be Republican candidates then sued over the law, claiming it’s unfair to ban the practice in the middle of an election cycle.)

— More Republicans now identify as working or lower class than Democrats. And white voters without a college education, once a core Democratic constituency, remain a key element of Trump’s reelection bid heading into November. – TOM MCGRATH (COMMENT: My parents were conservative Republicans. Neither of them attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He often decried his not having a college degree. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)

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

— Of course, I applaud the 2024 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions to the extent that they promote conservative principles. But if I had not been removed from the 2024 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee, I would have advocated for a platform and for resolutions that would have given more priority and more emphasis to promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I would have advocated for a resolution that would have called for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. – Dave Diersen

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

— The Kresge Foundation promotes DEI big time, that is, it promotes political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination big time. I worked for S.S. Kresge 1964-1966. I should write a book about how my S.S. Kresge superiors, supervisors, and coworkers treated me. I was the only White male who washed dishes in its Chicago Heights store.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It is not “Democrat-Lite.” The only legitimate reason a) to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, b) to be an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Delegate, c) to serve on an IRP State Convention committee, d) to be an officer of a Republican township/ward or county party organization, e) to be an IRP State Central Committee (SCC) member, f) to be an IRP National Committeeman or Committeewoman, and g) to be the IRP chairman is to help elect candidates in Illinois who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. But in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, far too many of the aforesaid reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Far too many of the aforesaid get rid of those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like the Republican Party platform does not exist. The current process for electing IRP SCC members has caused the aforesaid. Should I start writing about the aforesaid who have the most clout, who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, who have done the most to destroy those like me who support those planks, who use the current system for electing IRP SCC members to stay in power, who had me removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee? – Dave Diersen

I should write about those who continue to blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP).

In today’s dollars, my federal salary increased from $18.99/hour in 1966 to $150,075/year in 1997. In my defense, during that time, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on their parents’ wealth. I would focus on what they did to qualify themselves for better paying jobs.)
