Led by Pritzker and by Duckworth, how successful will hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters be promoting more hatred against Trump in your county, in your township, in your municipality, in your school district, and in your precinct?

DAILY HERALD
— The way out of the circus on display in Chicago – Kathy Salvi
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240820/columns/the-way-out-of-the-circus-on-display-in-chicago/
(FROM THE LETTER: Well, here we go: the circus is in town. No, I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey — at least they’re entertaining — but rather the Democratic National Convention. This week we will be force fed speeches from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and endure the woke primping and preening spewed from the Democrat mouthpieces on stage. Chicago is a fitting city for the Democrats to hold their convention: it is a great city in slow decay due to backward leftist and authoritarian policies. Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. Cost of living is sky high because Illinois is among the most-taxed states in the nation. All of these problems are due to blue rule, and they will be on full display for everyone visiting Chicago for the circus. The Democrats have had a tough act to follow this year. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a sight to see and an emotional event in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It was a display of unity that has been downplayed by the media across the country, and Republicans are united behind our ticket up and down the ballot. And I should mention — our top of the ticket candidate was actually voted for by the members of our party. We call that “democracy.” Conversely, the Democrats’ convention will be one filled with what we’ve come to expect from Democrats here in Illinois: false promises, gaslighting and manufactured hype behind a candidate who won’t do interviews. We’re seeing the Democrat propaganda machine whirring in full force propping up Kamala Harris after she unceremoniously ousted her boss from his candidacy without a single vote from the people. Anywhere else, that’s called a coup. Kamala Harris has yet to give an interview since being installed without a single Democrat vote. She chose a radical leftist VP who misrepresented his record. Stolen valor. Ask his own chaplain. The only candidate worse than Walz — and even Harris rejected the idea — would have been Illinois’ own failed governor, J.B. Pritzker. Sadly, we have not heard about any of the real issues and how Democrats will attempt to fix them. They have not talked about fixing the open southern border that has festered under Kamala Harris’ watch. The Democrats won’t touch the high cost of living imposed on people in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the country. They won’t give any concrete or real solution to the crime plaguing communities across the country or the corruption within their own Democratic Party from the United States Senate to Dolton, Illinois. Truth be told, there is a silver lining to the Democratic National Convention being in town here. Voters are seeing that there is no real plan coming from the Democrats. There are no real policies they’re running on. Americans are choking on their progressive nightmare, and the Democrats keep doubling down. Make no mistake, we here in Illinois are hurting. Workers are hurting. Families are hurting. Children are hurting, small businesses are hurting. No matter your political persuasion. We are one big hurt under the supermajority, Democrat domination in Illinois. And what has it delivered? A flight from Illinois, an unbearable tax burden on ordinary people, an unsustainable pension crisis, crime-ridden neighborhoods, unaffordable food & gas prices. All of this brought to us by the Illinois Democratic Party. Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the two U.S. Senate seats, 14 out of 17 congressional seats and a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate as well as the mayor’s office here in Chicago. Their only use for the Republican Party is to ridicule its sound policies and trigger hatred in those from whom they seek money to pursue even more power. We Republicans are scrappy and will fight, fight, fight our battle at the ballot box. In an analysis of those cities in Illinois run by Republican mayors here in Illinois, the air is fresher and the people happier. As I pen this commentary, most families, workers and small businesses in Illinois are awakening to host of problems brought on by the mistakes of our political leaders, mistakes that have increased our tax burden, dumbed down our public educational institutions and made our streets unsafe in which to travel. During the rest of the Democratic National Convention, open your ears to the truth and ask yourself: does the carnivalesque display I am watching reflect the America that I know and love? Illinois, there is a way out of this nightmare: wake up — Vote Republican.)

Trump.” I should write a book that compares and contrasts Michelle Obama with me. I would compare and contrast the opportunities that she has had with the opportunities that I have had. I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. All my coworkers who my IRS and then GAO superiors promoted over me where Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)

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

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

Now, it’s Gaza. “We’re anti-war, anti-intervention. We’re opposed to U.S. violence,” Nimza said. Ayers also feels other issues from 1968 persist to this day.)

HR MAGAZINE
— Democrat and RINO employers use DEI to not hire Republicans, to not retain Republicans, to not promote Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors successfully used DEI to force me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Starting in 1980, they successfully used DEI to delay my promotions. After 1986, they successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 in 1988.

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.)

— Illinois Republicans address upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago. – Kevin Bessler (COMMENT: I was not notified of this news conference. According to my critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, I have never been a legitimate member of the news media. I should write about the aforesaid who pander to the mainstream news media by treating like I am illegitimate.)
https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/16/illinois-republicans-address-upcoming-democratic-national-convention-in-chicago/
(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. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 in today’s dollars and b) only 43% of what GAO salary was when I was 49 in today’s dollars. – Dave Diersen

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.

— Alumni invited to share career experiences with Redbirds. – Susan Whitsitt (COMMENT: What helped your career? For me, it was my earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and d) a job-related professional license in 1981. What harmed your career? For me, it was a) my avoiding the Vietnam War draft, b) my not becoming a Democrat, c) my being conservative, Republican, White, male, Protestant, German American, and having ancestors who had been in America for a long time, d) my complaining about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and e) especially my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988.)

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.)

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.)

(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.”)

DAILY HERALD
— On eve of DNC, Republicans are gathering in Woodstock for Pro-Trump rally
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240813/news/pro-trump-rally-in-woodstock-sunday-on-eve-of-dnc-caravans-of-gop-supporters-from-across-region-exp/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans from across the Chicago region and beyond are expected to converge on the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock Sunday for a show of support for former President Donald Trump just before the Democratic National Conventions gets underway in Chicago. The Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at the fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Tickets range from $30 for general admission to $300 for a VIP seat, according to the Parading for Trump website. Those supporting the former president in his reelection bid plan to caravan to the event. Caravans of his supporters are set to arrive from Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, Petersen Park in McHenry, the Campton Township Highway Department parking lot in Lily Lake in Kane County, Antioch’s Metra station, the Tinley Park Convention Center, the shopping center at 2341 Sycamore Road in DeKalb and from Halsted and Division streets in Chicago. Paraders are asked to decorate their vehicles in pro-Trump gear. The speakers list includes conservative commentator and Chicago-area native Charlie Kirk, GOP strategist Roger Stone, Mike Lindell of MyPillow and retired Army lieutenant general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. Entertainment for the day will be from musicians Thompson Square, Nate Venturelli, Diva Montell and Anthony “Frank” Cassano. There’s no indication that Trump or his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, will appear. Gary Rabine, a Bull Valley businessman and former candidate for Illinois governor, is hosting the rally. According to the event website, the event is paid for by The American Dream PAC, with profits from the event “dispersed … to organizations focused on Get out the Vote in our communities and swing states, conservative candidates and organizations focused on helping Trump become our 47th President.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: McHenry city officials were surprised when they read news reports Tuesday that Petersen Park was set as a meetup point Sunday to caravan to the Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally in Woodstock. Petersen Park is playing host to the annual Bands, Brews & BBQ event this weekend, with its largest day expected on Sunday, McHenry Deputy Chief Tom Walsh said. It could see even larger crowds later in the day, as McHenry’s community fireworks show is due to take place at the park after being was postponed because of poor weather during Fiesta Days in July. In social media posts and emails, organizers of the rally – in support of former President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates on the ballot in November, and held on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago – encouraged GOP faithful to meet up beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at McHenry’s Petersen Park and convoy at 11:30 a.m. to the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. Caravans of supporters are also expected to descend on Woodstock from various meetup spots across the Chicago region and in DeKalb. The gates for Bands, Brews and BBQ are set to open at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, McHenry Area Rotary President Diana Mark said. Vendors, the band and others will be setting up before then will be in and out of the parking area earlier, Mark said. Following inquiries from the Northwest Herald, organizers of the pro-Trump rally distributed a new flier saying the McHenry meetup would instead be at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Althoff Park. The event’s website, paradingfortrump.com , still listed Petersen Park as of Tuesday evening, however. Prior to the location change, Walsh had said: “I am concerned about space. I don’t know details about where they are meeting up” or whether cars will be left at the Petersen lot during the day. “We can’t have this conflict in the parking lot,” he said. McHenry Chief of Police John Birk asked Walsh to reach out to the Trump event organizers. The rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Organizers did not need a temporary use permit for the rally, as the fairground is exempt from the permit process, Alicia Schueller, director of public affairs for McHenry County. Food and liquor licenses have been secured for the event. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has asked Woodstock Police for additional support during the rally, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Tuesday. That’s not unusual for large events, Stelford said, adding that two Woodstock police officers are helping at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. Those same two officers also aided with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Stelford said.)

— Negotiating job offers (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079–$110,020/year. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used my having to take that pay cut against me viciously. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning that master’s degree from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981. They succeeded in a) delaying my promotions back to GS-12 until 1982, b) assigning me to audits IRS until 1986 and then after 1988, c) delaying my promotion to GS-13 until 1986, and d) never promoting me to GS-14.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh acknowledged that it “takes a lot of courage” for many Republicans to publicly break with their party, but argued it’s necessary. “You have to publicly out yourself: ‘I’m a Republican; I’m a conservative, and I’m supporting Kamala Harris,’” Walsh said. “It takes courage, but remember – Donald Trump is unfit to be President.” Organizers said more than 70,000 people joined the call live, where speakers urged Republican participants to get behind Harris through volunteering and publicly supporting her campaign.)

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.

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.)

— 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

— Sonya Massey tragedy shows it’s better for municipalities to be minus police officers than to hire the wrong ones. – Editorial (COMMENT: Why were you offered jobs? The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled that I would become a Democrat, but they lost their gamble. Consequently, they did everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/09/editorial-sonya-massey-sean-grayson-jack-campbell-jb-pritzker/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The Sangamon County sheriff’s office is far from the only department struggling to recruit officers and thus prone to making poor hires. With policing under more public pressure and scrutiny than any time we can remember, particularly in diverse, Democratic Party-controlled states like ours, the profession clearly isn’t nearly as enticing as it used to be, even with early retirement, good salaries and generous pensions on offer. The Chicago Police Department, for one, is short about 2,000 officers. The temptation for these departments, then, is to skimp on the background checks and vetting that are necessary to weed out the unsuitable but can hamper recruiting. There were plenty of red flags available on Grayson, including a 2015 citation for driving under the influence and a record of working for five different police forces in the three years before Sangamon hired him in May 2023. At a bare minimum, an applicant bouncing around that many departments in such a short period of time ought to compel a police chief interested in hiring him to call the chiefs of those other departments for an honest assessment rather than relying on applicant-provided references. The public has an interest in fully staffed police departments. But there’s an even greater public interest in taking every step possible to ensure those on the force are truly qualified and well trained. Better to be undermanned than to run the risk of employing officers prone to losing their cool in tense moments, flaws that carry with them potentially fatal consequences. Sonya Massey’s tragic death is a cautionary tale for police chiefs everywhere. That brings us to the matter of the police chief in this case, Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell. Campbell has defended the process he undertook when hiring Grayson, saying he followed normal procedures, but has allowed there are changes he’ll make going forward. “My standard is now that ‘I want you to figure out a way not to hire this person,’” Campbell told Illinois Public Media News. By that, we took him to mean that every applicant will be scrutinized as thoroughly as possible. If that’s what he meant, we agree. . .It’s relatively easy, of course, for the Democratic governor to castigate a Republican sheriff in a case that has garnered national headlines and reflects poorly on the state. It wasn’t hard to detect the whiff of politics in the harsh criticism of a GOP officeholder by a governor with national aspirations (and demonstrated prospects) who needs to appear as tough as possible responding to a horrific police shooting within the state’s capital city. We’d be a bit less cynical had Pritzker, for example, been as critical when his appointees to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board failed so starkly earlier this year to keep convicted domestic abuser Crosetti Brand behind bars, freeing him (despite numerous red flags) to allegedly kill the 11-year-old son of an ex-girlfriend as she was attacked as well and badly injured. Pritzker asked two of those appointees, including the board chair, to resign. But when it came to his own appointees, who failed every bit as badly as Campbell did with similarly fatal consequences, the governor publicly expressed nothing like the outrage he leveled at the sheriff. Sangamon County is dominated by Republicans at the local level. To date, as far as we’ve seen, no local GOPers have called on Campbell to leave. If Campbell resigned over this tragic lapse, that would be an appropriate acceptance of responsibility. But he’s an elected official answerable to the voters of the county, not Gov. Pritzker. If he chooses to stick to the path of attempting to improve the office’s personnel management and regaining the public trust as he runs again, the voters of that county will be able to decide two years from now on his ongoing suitability.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Sheriff Jack Campbell has been forced to retire. I should write a book about the stigma of being forced to retire. Being forced to retire makes it impossible to get a job appropriate for your work experience, education, professional certifications, and/or profession licenses. But far worse than that, especially if you are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, your critics/opponents use your having been forced to retire to hint/imply/argue/shout that real reason was that you are a very bad person if not a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who have used my having been forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 against me the most. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an especially bad person and even worse things because I had earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job related professional license in 1981. Needless to say, my Democrat GAO superiors having forced me to retire was one of the biggest negatives in my life. I will never recover from it. They forced me to retire to punish me because I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond me GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In doing so, Ms. James flagrantly violates their constitutional rights by using lawfare to silence those who disagree with her,” Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation Peter Breen, said. “Shamefully, Ms. James seeks to steal away a woman’s choice to save her preborn child, should that pregnant woman seek to stop her in-progress chemical abortion, after taking the first abortion pill. Abortion Pill Reversal gives women a second chance to choose life—a life-saving option that Ms. James seems to think pregnant women are not entitled to choose. With this federal lawsuit, we are once again going on the offense to put an end to Ms. James’ attacks on New York’s life-affirming ministries,” Breen added.)

HERALD REVIEW
— The Republican Party has become a bunch of RINOs. – Randall Limbach, Sierra Vista
https://www.myheraldreview.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/letter-the-republican-party-has-become-a-bunch-of-rinos/article_533bdea8-5661-11ef-b3c0-27fec32bdc59.html
(FROM THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Republican party has morphed into a party of Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs). The RINO concept has shifted over the decades, sometimes used disparagingly and other times approvingly. Traditionally, RINO describes a Republican deviating from conservative values. In my observation, today’s RINO is any Republican: Who’s actions are contrary to his conservative platform; Who not only doesn’t enforce the United States Constitution but promotes its decay (state sovereignty; representation; personal welfare; and state, individual, land, and water rights); Allows and even promotes tyranny (Covid mandates); Surrenders to Democrats on common-sense conservative principles (voter integrity, term limits, individual/land/water rights, taxation, border control, and federal overreach). The cowardly RINO tackles tough issues only after the door of opportunity has closed with a Republican administrative majority, after which he feigns a sense of urgent engagement on those same issues. Like conventional Democrats, establishment Uni-party RINOs possess globalist, centrist, and intellectually dishonest views, shunning those constituents who dare demand the restoration of our Constitution. The RINO enjoys the benefits of Uni-party ‘membership’ via support from the Grand-Old-Party and Democrat institutions, mainstream media, military industrial complex, giant conglomerations, and Big Tech and entertainment industries. RINOs demand “unity” throughout the party yet refuse to reverse course following generations of continued deceit and anti-America legislation. Today’s RINO would have supported the King of England in his efforts to defeat the original American revolutionaries. Ultimately, as what occurred in 1776, God will shield and promote today’s American revolutionary, regardless of political persuasion, and will rightfully hold these counterfeit Americans accountable.)

They stress that I am White, male, older (born in 1948), baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American. They stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972. They stress that I was the fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.)

— Top companies for high school graduates to begin and advance their career. – Matthew Euzarraga (COMMENT: In 1966, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the top 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class, I was a full-time UIC student, and I lived with my parents in Crete. The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hired me in 1966 as a part-time employee because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They disapproved of, if not despised, a) the fact that I was avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student deferments, b) the fact that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and a Crete resident since 1948, and c) that I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I stressed to them that I had bought that Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. They certainly did not want me to become a full-time employee. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969 even though I had taken far fewer sick days than any of my coworkers. They succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969 by falsely saying that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in session.)

— Here’s a look at questions about Tim Walz’s military record. – MEG KINNARD (COMMENT: Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me. They would stress that Vance has accomplished way more than I have even though his miliary service set him back 4 years. In my defense, I stress that my Democrat Post Office (1966-1969), Firestone Stores (1970-1972), IRS (1971-1980), and GAO (1980-1997) superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me very big time.)
https://apnews.com/article/walz-national-guard-military-ae43d684bf1319e535f9f620552155d7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating high school, serving four years as a combat correspondent, a type of military journalist, and deploying to Iraq in that capacity in 2005. Neither Trump nor Harris has served in the U.S. military. Trump received a series of deferments during Vietnam, including one attained with a physician’s letter stating that he suffered from bone spurs in his feet. The Harris campaign statement said Walz “would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country” and “thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the American way.”)

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://medium.com/a-little-stoic-wisdom/is-the-idea-of-meritocracy-misleading-us-about-success-2c1bf5b6e255

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Action Items For The IL GOP – David E. Smith (COMMENT: Bailey calls for the Illinois Republican Party to censure Edgar, Kinzinger, Ray LaHood, and Walsh for promoting Harris. Have your critics/opponents tried to censure you? My critics/opponents tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They succeed in throwing off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. I should write about that. I would focus on those who are still active today and who could have and should have come to my defense but did not. In 2006 and 2007, I was a) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, b) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization, and d) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee. I had spent lots of my time and my money helping elect in general elections those Republican candidates who had won primary elections.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/07-bailey-action-items-for-the-il-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former State Senator Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) has been posting personal video content on his Bailey for Illinois Facebook page for years now. These updates include political commentary, campaign updates, a Christian devotional readings and prayer. Since these video commentaries are very informative and encouraging, I often share these postings on my own personal social media platforms. One such recent video post deserves much greater attention by a much greater audience. In his video post on Tuesday, August 6th, Darren highlighted some issues that have been on the minds of grass-root conservatives for some time regarding the Illinois Republican Party. He highlights four points that we list below along with the transcript of his commentary. However, the most important call-to-action item – one that will resonate with conservative voters across the state – is the emergence of so-called “Republicans for Harris,” – yes, extreme left-wing Kamala Harris. This group of unprincipled politicians aim to peel away votes from Donald Trump. Illinois mugwumps Adam Kinzinger, Jim Edgar, Ray LaHood and Joe Walsh are among the high-profile snollygosters publicly endorsing Harris and encouraging others to vote for her. (Read more HERE.) Their duplicity is astonishing. Darren also brings to our attention something called “The Edgar Fellows Program” – an initiative launched by former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar (RINO) to develop “leadership and governing capacity in Illinois.” The program focuses on fostering respectful and collaborative leadership to address major policy issues, emphasizing the importance of statesmanship over partisan, ethnic, and regional rivalries. This program is run through the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. Darren’s is absolutely correct to call for a censure of these traitors. Not only should township and county Republican organizations issue resolutions to censure these individuals, so should the Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC). Therefore, we encourage you to take action and speak out. The corporate media is celebrating these turncoats and giving them a platform to denigrate the Republican nominee. We must make it clear that they DO NOT speak for us. Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to censor Kinzinger, Edgar, LaHood and Walsh. Republican officials should not ignore those who claim the “Republican” mantel but then openly disparage policy planks, principles and publicly work against the GOP nominee for POTUS. To be clear, we are very grateful that these things are being discussed, and for our part, we hope you will consider these important points of reformation and speak out to the Republican State Central Committee to encourage them to heed these changes. The following four points, attributed to Tom DeVore, former GOP candidate for Illinois Attorney General, are summarized here: 1.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of primary races. 2.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of the campaign efforts of Springfield’s House Republican Organization (HRO) and Senate Republican Organization (SRO). 3.) The Illinois GOP should fully support Republican nominees over Democrat nominees – especially in state-wide races. 4.) The Illinois GOP should reject donations from groups who engage in activities that are contrary to the Republican Party, i.e. Illinois Teachers Unions. Watch Darren’s video commentary here or read the transcript below for more important information.)

FED WEEK
— Auditors Made Calls to 76 IRS Taxpayer Assistance Service Lines; 2 Were Answered (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year) in 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were furious that he given me that developmental opportunity and promoted me instead of my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the Vietnam War draft.)
https://www.fedweek.com/federal-managers-daily-report/auditors-made-calls-to-76-irs-taxpayer-assistance-service-lines-2-were-answered/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The IRS inspector general’s office called all 76 local taxpayer assistance center lines—offices whose mission is to help taxpayers resolve problems—but just two of the calls were answered by a live person, the IG has said. Two of the lines were not in service, while the other calls were sent to voice mail boxes — 16 of which were full and could not accept a message. Other issues included inconsistent recorded scripted messaging and callback time frames, discrepancies in contact information and discrepancies in information on recorded messages. The report said that “may discourage taxpayers from seeking help with their tax issues, being compliant with the tax system, and not receiving the assistance they deserve in resolving their tax issues.” The IG said the experience — conducted in response to a hotline complaint from a tax professional seeking help for a client due a refund who was experiencing a financial hardship — paralleled one from last year when it called 102 IRS customer service numbers and 21 of them placed the calls on hold for more than 30 minutes. It said that in response to an alert it issued, agency management took steps including assuring that websites have up-to-date information posted and that voicemail boxes are monitored prevent them from filling up. The IRS also is “exploring technology to transcribe voicemails so employees in other areas can help return calls and to expand the size of voicemail boxes to prevent them from becoming full.”)

Mine was 1974-1986. I made GS-12 (currently $97,079) when I was 25 in 1974, but I did not make GS-13 (currently $115,439) until I was 38 in 1986. During that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I never made GS-14 (currently $136,414) even though I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me during that time were Democrats a) who 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 and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

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.”)

I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I did the most to help elect and to help reelect. I would focus on those who blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.)

— Biden is an older White male. Now that Biden is out, Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump because Trump is an older White male. Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will ever-increasingly promote more hatred against Trump because he is an older White male.

NBC NEWS
— Democrats ask “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165. 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.

NEBRASKA EXAMINER
— Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has rural Nebraska roots. Dems say VP pick by Harris campaign could help connect campaign with rural voters. – Aaron Sanderford (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have no rural roots. My mother was born and raised on a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border. I spent many days there during the 1950s and early 1960s and many family gatherings there since then.)

— 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 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.)

POLITICO 7 & HR DRIVE
— Democrat and RINO employers and ever-increasingly use DEI to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees. RINO organizations ever-increasingly use DEI to get rid of their Republican leaders and members. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, RINO organizations in Illinois a) will officially require their leaders to be moderate/liberal, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and b) will officially get rid of their members like me who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.
