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.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
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

COOK COUNTY RECORD
— Judge: Evanston teacher hasn’t shown she was harmed by D65’s ‘anti-racism’ policies, programs (COMMENT: If had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. 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.)

DAILY HERALD
— State GOP picks new leaders to ‘beat the machine,’ including Palatine’s Del Mar. – Marni Pyke (COMMENT: Illinois Republicans anxiously await a press release on this from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). If/when the IRP forms a committee to reach out to conservatives, that is, to platform Republicans, that is, to its base, I volunteer to serve on that committee. The overwhelming majority of the aforesaid want direct election of IRP State Central Committee members.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240814/illinois-state-politics/state-gop-picks-new-leaders-to-beat-the-machine-including-palatines-del-mar/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A northwest suburbanite is taking a leadership role with the Illinois GOP as the party works to rebuild and end what its leader calls the “blue funk.” State Central Committee member Aaron Del Mar of Palatine has been chosen by Chair Kathy Salvi as an Illinois Republican Party co-chair, along with state Sen. Jason Plummer of Edwardsville and State Central Committee member Judy Diekelman of Thornton. Salvi also picked Joan McCarthy Lasonde of Wilmette as vice chair. “Co-Chairs Aaron Del Mar, Sen. Jason Plummer, and Judy Diekelman as well as Vice Chair Joan McCarthy Lasonde and all of our leaders across the state represent the diverse opinions of our party and our state,” Salvi said Wednesday. “This group will broaden our coalition, expand our footprint, and will beat the machine that Democrats like (former Speaker) Mike Madigan and (Gov.) J.B. Pritzker have built.” Salvi took office in July vowing to “make Illinois red again,” and end the party’s “blue funk.” With a woman at the helm of the state GOP and his background as a Filipino- American, “this is a very historic time,” said Del Mar. “This will be the first time the Illinois Republican Party has had a person of color in leadership. “I’m very excited. Kathy has a different personality than I do, she brings different strengths so I think we very much complement each other.” Del Mar, a businessman who ran for lieutenant governor in 2022, was a Republican National Convention delegate in July, and has served as Cook County Republican chairman and Palatine village councilman. The Illinois GOP faces challenges in a heavily Democratic state and recently lost Chair Don Tracy, who blamed party infighting for his resignation. One key to success is to make sure “grass-roots organizations and grass-roots members of the Republican Party have a voice,” Del Mar said. “They’re the people who show up at the monthly meetings, the people that put lawn signs into the ground, that march in the parades. I think for far too long, they’ve been ignored and they’ve been taken for granted.” Del Mar, who campaigned statewide in 2022, hopes to bridge divisions between rural conservative and urban moderate Republicans. “If we can create a relationship where there’s a conversation and people have a better understanding — that adds a lot of value,” Del Mar said, adding he’s visiting downstate Illinois soon. “If you want buy-in from those (rural) counties you have to show up.” Del Mar’s father, a mechanical engineer, immigrated from the Philippines. His mother is a retired nurse of German/Swedish descent who grew up on Chicago’s South Side. “When they start talking about issues like immigration, those things hit home and I can give a personal story,” Del Mar said.)

There was quick consensus, he said. “We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” Abudayyeh said. “Harris represents the administration; she represents Biden.

— Democrat-Driven Homeless Crisis. – Robert B. Charles (COMMENT: The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. It promotes dependency on government and charity, that is, it discourages personal responsibility. It promotes LGBTQ, that is, it destroys traditional marriage and family. It promotes abortion, that is, it destroys respect for human life. I promotes illegal immigration, that is, it destroys respect for the rule of law and America. It promotes booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, that is, it destroys everything. It erodes Second Amendment rights, It destroys meritocracy, that is, it promotes Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it promotes patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and even worse things.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— ’Idiocracy’ is upon us. – J.A. Frascino
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/08/idiocracy_is_upon_us.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades America functioned as a meritocracy, the land of opportunity with freedom of speech and limited government. With the recent ascent of the radical left as a political force, these values have undergone erosion by DEI, identity politics, cancel culture, “newspeak”, and government bureaucratic intrusion. The radical left challenges patriotism, religion, traditional family structure as our raison d’être, our identity. The resulting divisiveness drives us into ideologic rabbit holes. Tribalism pervades the culture. We identify now as liberal or conservative with ideologic chips on our shoulders. We have evolved into a partisan ideocracy. And now, with the presumptive Democrat ticket in the offing, we are on the brink of evolving into an idiocracy.)
CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— The Myth of the Melting Pot – Jason Richwine (COMMENT: From what country did your ancestors immigrate from? When? What did they do? All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during 1840s and 1850s. On my father’s side, they worked in brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854, homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township 1854-1964, raised and sold horses in Crete 1864-1874, and operated Crete’s only hardware store 1874-1954. On my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border and then bought that farm and operated it.)

— Social media influencers descend on the White House, where Biden calls them the new ‘source of news’ – FATIMA HUSSEIN AND HALELUYA HADERO (COMMENT: The many big adverse actions that my critics/opponents have taken against me since 2000 to discourage me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to discourage everyone from reading my newsletters shows the big influence that my newsletters have. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the biggest adverse action that they have taken against me since 2000 to discourage me from sending out my newsletters and to discourage everyone from reading my newsletters.)
https://apnews.com/article/biden-tiktok-influencers-white-house-6faa12d3e466124991f72fb547f4844c
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social media influencers got the royal treatment at the White House on Wednesday as President Joe Biden gave a nod to their ability to hold sway with millions of loyal followers. The White House played host to a group of more than 100 influencers, also known as content creators, across a range of media platforms — from chefs and makeup artists to fitness gurus and medical students — to talk about issues including mental health, pay equity and the abuse of artificial intelligence. Biden stopped by to tell the influencers gathered in the Indian Treaty Room in the White House complex: “The fact is, you are the future.” “You’re the source of the news,” he said. “You are the new possibilities. You are the new breakthrough in how we communicate.” Biden added, to laughter: “And that’s why I invited you to the White House, because I’m looking for a job.”)

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Trump won the Republican primary. If elected, Trump can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. Those Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and leaders of Republican organizations in Illinois who despise if not hate Trump should leave the Republican Party.).

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/13/editorial-western-illinois-university-layoffs-state-equitable-funding/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Between 2010 and 2014, the number of students at the school hovered around 12,000. But then it took a dive over several years. In fall 2023, the university enrolled 7,023 students. Interim President Kristi Mindrup has said she expects enrollment this fall to be between 5,500 and 6,000 students. That might yet change, but it’s still a big drop in one year and not something so easily blamed on demographics. We’d also wager most Illinoisans didn’t know that some of their state universities are currently operating at 50% of previous capacity.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has caused you the most harm? For me, it is the Affirmative Action(AA)/DEI plank, that is, the race and gender based preference giving plank, that is, the patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors used that plank, up-or-out, and budget cuts to waste my career and to get rid of me. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and/or had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40. They ignored/dismissed/belittled that fact that I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and became a Forensic Accountant in 1997. I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. My critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they promote AA/DEI. – Dave Diersen

WASHINGTON RXAMINER
— Kamala has a record on immigration – Editorial
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3118647/kamala-record-immigration/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Pinning down Vice President Kamala Harris on any substantive policy matters has been impossible since she helped shove President Joe Biden out of the presidential race. She refuses to answer questions, and her staff is, at best, cryptic in what little information it releases. For example, when asked if Harris still supports her 2019 position that illegally crossing the border be decriminalized, an unidentified campaign official told Axios, “Unauthorized border crossings are illegal.” But this is just a statement of current law. It doesn’t tell us what Harris believes, if anything, about whether unauthorized border crossings should continue to be illegal or if she will prosecute migrants who break the law. We still don’t know where Harris stands on decriminalizing illegal immigration. As much as Democrats may wish otherwise, Harris did not fall out of a coconut tree without a record. There are 20 years of factual evidence about how she deals with illegal immigrants, and voters should look at them. It will give an accurate and disturbing picture of Harris’s ideas on immigration.)

TOWNHALL
— Amid the corporate media’s remake of Kamala Harris’s disjointed record as a public servant, one of the more overlooked aspects is her wokeness. That’s right. Harris is woke writ-large and she even admitted as much, proclaiming just a few years ago (with a cackle of course), “We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.” – Charles Gasparino

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

In today’s dollars, a) that is less that what my salary was ($66,942) when I was 23 years old in 1973 and b) that is $84,910 less than what my salary was ($150,975) when I was 49 years old in 1997. That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

— It’s Getting Harder for Companies to Keep Politics Out of the Workplace. Employers teach de-escalation techniques as divisive political discussions become almost impossible to avoid. – Chip Cutter and Lauren Weber (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, and especially while I worked for GAO 1980-1997, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates often asked me questions and then used my answers against me. Must commonly, they asked me questions to confirm that I opposed race and gender based preference giving and that I opposed the promotion of a) dependency on government, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights.)

NEWS NATION
— JD Vance’s story an example of meritocracy. – Mike Huckabee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. 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, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.” Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)
HARVARD LAW REVIEW
— Eventually, everyone’s motivations come out in the wash. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes are involved in politics and/or government to get more preference for themselves, for their wives, for their children, and/or for those who share their demographics. They all blame those who are following for their problems: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, childless, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— Democrats warn layoffs ahead as House GOP proposes agency spending cuts. Democrats say an appropriations bill with 10% spending cuts to covered agencies would leave no choice but to implement staff reductions to make ends meet. – Drew Friedman (COMMENT: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of their 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.)

https://thenewamerican.com/features/harris-backed-effort-to-let-illegal-alien-practice-law-defied-obama-for-mexican/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That Vice President Kamala Harris is a far-left extremist, notably on immigration, is hardly news. But just how far left might be, and the Sacramento Bee offered an idea yesterday. Harris was behind the effort to push the legal authorities in California to permit an illegal alien to practice law. Indeed, the Bee’s sources say that Harris might have been the deciding factor in Mexican Sergio Garcia’s effort to become a practicing lawyer. The story comports with Harris’ well-known position on immigration. She’s an open-borders fanatic, and does not believe illegally crossing the border is a crime.)

He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one calls my tunes. Because I have enough time and money, all the time and money needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and to send them out every morning come from me and from me only. Of course, my direct competitors are furious about that.

SNOPES
— Democrats ask “Kamala Harris Failed Her Bar Exam on First Try?” I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 in 1979. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass all its four parts on their first attempt. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. My critics/opponents have always ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the aforesaid. I should write about my critics/opponents who stress that others got better scores on the four parts of the examination than I did.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kamala-harris-failed-bar-exam/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harris did fail the California bar exam on her first attempt, but she later passed and was admitted to the California bar in 1990, just a year after she graduated. As such, we rated this claim as “True” with added context. The bar exam is a qualifying written exam administered by a jurisdiction for lawyers to practice law in that particular state. According to a 2016 New York Times profile of Harris about her Senate campaign, she did fail the bar exam on her first try. Harris described consoling a recent law graduate who did not make it either: “[Harris] failed the bar exam the first time she took it. Harris says she recently consoled a young law graduate who also didn’t pass; ‘I told her, it’s not a measure of your capacity’.” Harris was admitted to the bar in June 1990, according to the State Bar of California records. She graduated from the University of California Hastings school of law in 1989. The California bar exam has been described as notoriously difficult. According to the Los Angeles Times, there was only a 41.8% pass rate in 1985. In July 1989, also according to the Los Angeles Times, 59.5% of people passed and won the right to practice law from the July 1989 exams, and the pass rate was 72.2% among the 4,909 people taking the exam for the first time. In February 1990, the likely date Harris took the bar exam for a second time, the pass rate was 45.9%. Only 33.9% of people passed the February 2024 general bar exam.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats run Illinois. Democrats acknowledge that “Illinois ranks last at keeping rich people from moving out.” The more money that you earn/have, the harder that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to manipulate/dominate you. My federal pension is only $65,165/year and my Social Security is only $2,935/year, but still, no one can manipulate/dominate me. That said, the less money that you earn/have, the easier that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to harm you. They removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/illinois-ranks-last-keeping-rich-people-moving-out
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A chart in the report shows Illinois with the worst record of retaining people who make $200,000 or more per year and, probably just as unsurprising, Florida with the best. For every $200,000-plus earner who leaves Florida, two and three-quarters move in. The lost income in Illinois from all out-migration, not just high earners, was about $9.85 billion in recent years, according to earlier IRS data. Based on individual tax returns filed in 2021 and 2022, the IRS reports about $19.38 billion in adjusted gross income left the state and about $9.58 billion moved in, for a net loss of $9.85 billion.)
— Democrats say “The one-hour delay that preceded Donald Trump’s July 31 appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists was not because of audio problems, as Trump later claimed, but because the former president objected to the group’s plan to fact-check his remarks in real time.” During the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, I often worked as a fact checker, and especially during my last 11 years as a GS-13 Step 1-10 Analyst, currently $115,439-$150,075/year.

But Democrats would have responded that Trump would not have picked Vance if Vance was older, Protestant, or had a wife who was White.

Jim Edgar said he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris for president come November. “I just worry about [Donald Trump] getting to be president again. I think there are a lot of negative ramifications,” he told Playbook. “You have to put the country ahead of partisan politics, and to me there’s no choice but to vote for somebody other than Trump.” Edgar’s decision isn’t a complete surprise. He voted for Biden in 2020, and he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, either.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Trump Is Right about Illegal Immigration and Black Jobs – PETER KIRSANOW (COMMENT: Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates were Black. Many, most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents have never worked for Blacks, never worked with Blacks, or supervised Blacks.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should form a National Association of Conservative Journalists. I am a member of the Society of Professional Journalists. I am an independent conservative Republican political and government news and commentary aggregator. I should write about my critics/opponents who have slandered me the most as not being a legitimate journalist. They ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth the fact a) that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and that since January 1, 2005, GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have included links to almost 492,000 articles, b) that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, and c) that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I would focus on my critics/opponents who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have lots religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen

NBC5
— Democrats say “Donald Trump to visit Chicago for National Association of Black Journalists Convention. Former President Donald Trump will participate in a conversation and question-and-answer session with political journalists on the opening day of the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.” I am a conservative political/government journalist. There are extremely few conservative political/government journalists in Illinois. I believe in full disclosure. Anticipate/expect that those who share my demographics are more likely to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters because they share my conservative political/government opinions. In addition to being conservative, I am Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I have three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (accounting). Further, I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Further, I served as the chairman of a conservative political organization (TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois) for 7 years and on the leadership team of another conservative organization (Illinois Center Right Coalition) for 4 years. Further, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office). Further, I was a union member for almost 12 years. Further, I worked my way through college. Further, I have lived in Wheaton since 1978 and in Illinois since 1948.

Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, was invited to participate as well, NABJ stated. As of late Monday, her confirmation was pending.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “President Trump accomplished more for Black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy,” the Trump campaign claimed in a press release. “Historic rates of Black voters now support President Trump, and the reason is simple: Black voters know that President Trump is the only presidential candidate who can deliver results on day one because he already has, including landmark unemployment rates for Black Americans, increased median income for Black households, historic permanent funding for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), comprehensive bipartisan criminal justice reform, and nearly $50 billion in funds to revitalize Opportunity Zones,” his campaign continued.)

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/05/16/more-americans-want-the-journalists-they-get-news-from-to-share-their-politics-than-any-other-personal-trait/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans say it is not important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their political views, age, gender or other traits. But people are more likely to say it is important for journalists to share their politics than any other characteristic we asked about. And certain demographic groups place more value than others on the personal traits of their journalists. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans how important it is for the journalists they get news from to have six personal characteristics that are similar to their own. About four-in-ten Americans say it is at least somewhat important that they get news from journalists who share their political views (39%). That is nearly double the share who say the same about getting news from journalists who share their religious views (22%) or who talk or sound like them (20%). Smaller shares say they want to get news from journalists who are similar to them in age (15%), share their race or ethnicity (14%), or share their gender (10%). On several of these questions, opinions vary based on respondents’ political views, age and other personal traits. Political views Similar shares of Republicans and Democrats say it is at least somewhat important for the news they get to come from journalists who share their political views. Four-in-ten Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say this, compared with 41% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. When combining party and ideology, people who place themselves at either end of the political spectrum are more likely than those toward the center to say journalists’ politics are important. Roughly half each of conservative Republicans (47%) and liberal Democrats (50%) say it is important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their politics. Smaller shares of liberal and moderate Republicans (29%) and conservative and moderate Democrats (33%) hold this view. Age A bar chart showing that younger people more likely to want news from journalists of a similar age. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to say they want news from journalists who are around the same age as them. Among U.S. adults ages 18 to 29, 23% say this is at least somewhat important, compared with one-in-ten of those ages 65 and older. Younger adults are also more likely than older adults to say it’s important that the journalists they get news from are the same gender as them; still, large majorities say this is not important. Some 16% of those ages 18 to 29 say it is at least somewhat important for journalists to share their gender, versus 6% of those 65 and older. Race or ethnicity Black Americans are more likely than other racial or ethnic groups to say it is important they get news from journalists who share several of their characteristics – particularly their race or ethnicity. About four-in-ten Black Americans (41%) say it is at least somewhat important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their race or ethnicity. A quarter of Hispanic Americans, 20% of Asian Americans and just 5% of White Americans say the same. For more information on how Black Americans answered these questions, read our report on Black Americans and news. Religion A bar chart showing that White evangelicals, Black Protestants are most likely to want news from journalists with shared religious views. Overall, Americans who identify with a religion are more likely than those who are religiously unaffiliated to find it at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views (26% vs. 15%). Among Christians, Protestants are more likely than Catholics to say it is important for journalists to share their religious views (30% vs. 21%). But there are also differences among Protestants and among Catholics: White evangelical Protestants (37%) and Black Protestants (33%) are about twice as likely as White nonevangelical Protestants (16%) to say this. About three-in-ten Hispanic Catholics say this (28%), compared with 17% of White Catholics. Among Jewish Americans, just 10% say it’s at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats and RINOs oppose E-Verify. Democrats because illegals vote for Democrats and RINOs because RINOs want cheap labor. Illegal immigration harms low-skilled American workers because it drives wages down. It especially harms younger Americans whose parents are not wealthy. Because my parents were not wealthy, I had to work my way through college. I was able to do that back in the 1960s, but I would not be able to do that today.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/15-years-since-federal-minimum-wage-increased_n_669918ece4b047588a4ae3c5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Tom Cotton (Ark.) proposed a plan in 2021 that would hike the federal wage floor from $7.25 to $10 per hour while instituting a nationwide mandate that employers use E-Verify, the system meant to confirm workers are not undocumented. Some, but not all, states currently require employers to use E-Verify when hiring. Many Democrats viewed the E-Verify provision as a poison pill and the proposed increase as insufficient. The party has coalesced around a minimum wage of at least $15, a level most Americans support in polling.)
