The school announced Thursday it will phase out and consolidate several “underperforming” majors such as Bachelor of Arts in art history, American Sign Language-English interpretation, creative writing and Master of Fine Arts in photography and fine arts. (COMMENT: If I could do it over again, I would have majored in accounting instead of management at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. After competing 10 graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul and the Becker CPA Review, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. But by then, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors had immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

Starting on January 1, 2025, Illinois will also prohibit discrimination against employees based on their “reproductive health decisions,” including the use of contraception, fertility or serialization care, assisted reproductive technologies, miscarriage management care, healthcare related to the continuation or termination or pregnancy or prenatal, intranasal or postnatal care. 3. Protecting Employees with Family Responsibilities. Illinois also amended the IHRA (effective January 1, 2025) to prohibit discrimination, harassment or retaliation against employees based on their “family responsibilities” or providing “personal care” to a “family member.” “Personal care” includes an employee providing transportation to or attending a covered family member’s medical appointment or even staying home from work to care for a sick child or parent. This amendment expressly does not require employers to accommodate an employee’s request for time, etc. to provide this personal care or require employers to modify their existing policies and rules. It simply restricts employers from treating these employees differently because of their family responsibilities to provide personal care to family members.)

TRI-COUNTY TIMES
— What are you thankful for? I was born in 1948. If I have been born years later than that, because of my bad demographics (White, male. heterosexual, conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), I doubt very much that I would have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. I doubt very much that I would have gotten the jobs and promotions that I got.

GAO
— IRS Workforce: Actions Needed to Address Barriers to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, they used Affirmative Action and DEI big time to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees. All my coworkers who they promoted over me a) were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, and/or had no professional certification like the one I had and/or b) were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. I earned an MBA in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. Because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors not only did not promote me after 1974, they a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978.)

I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of 1966 class. My ACT score was only 24.)

In my defense, I stress that neither or 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, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents have/had way more money than mine did.

Because I had accepted that job offer, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me. Because I had to have a job to help support my mother and brother, I accepted a job offer from the Democrats who ran IRS. They offered me a job because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat.

— Orland Park Trustee Apologizes After Comments Attacking Unions (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used against me the most my having been a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that union members are grossly overpaid. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I earned an MBA from Loyola, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, viciously condemned me, and viciously punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children with trying IVF. They stressed that our health insurance covered the treatment.)

— Colleges continue to give preference to students who have demographics that vote for Democrats: minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, citizens of foreign countries, etc. Even though I am none of the aforesaid, the Democrats who ran UIC accepted me when I was 17 in 1966 because I had taken college preparatory courses, my ACT score was 24, and I had graduated in the upper 20% of my class. But if I was 17 today, because of my bad demographics, I doubt that the Democrats who run UIC would accept me today.

It is called religious discrimination. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them.)

WTTW & CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. Pot is poison. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, everyone around you will be pot users who will crash and burn. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

— ‘Horrific, heinous and inexplicable’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/09/04/horrific-heinous-and-inexplicable-00177278
(FROM THE ARTICLE: SHOCKING DETAILS have emerged about how four people were killed while sleeping on a Blue Line train in the early morning hours of the Labor Day holiday. Heading to court: A man identified as Rhanni S. Davis will appear before a judge today on charges he murdered four train passengers in what Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told reporters was a “horrific, heinous and inexplicable” act of violence. It’s seldom we write about crime at the top of Illinois Playbook, a newsletter you’ve come to recognize for its focus on government and politics. But this isn’t just any crime. It’s senseless. Authorities say no one was robbed. And there appear to have been no arguments leading up to it.)

— Gotion is presenting sponsor of Manteno Oktoberfest – Chris Breach (COMMENT: Who sponsors the Independence Day parades and fireworks in your area? In 2021, the Democrats and RINOs who run Wheaton stopped Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. I should write a book about that. I had served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005.)
https://daily-journal.com/news/local/gotion-is-presenting-sponsor-of-manteno-oktoberfest/article_4c6c2be0-5f40-11ef-8a83-279ec12597a8.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Manteno resident Annette LaMore, who is a spokeswoman for the Concerned Citizens, said she was blown away that Gotion is sponsoring the Oktoberfest. “We cannot believe it,” she said. “This is a foreign entity who is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party. Why in the world are we inviting them into our town, making them the sponsor of our biggest fundraiser of the year?” The CCOM is entering a float in the Oktoberfest parade, and LaMore said she was asked by Josh Stauffenberg, chair of the chamber’s board of directors, to not use “No Gotion” signs on the float because it didn’t want anyone protesting another chamber member. LaMore said the CCOM will comply with the request. “So, do I have mixed feelings about all this? Yeah, you bet,” she said. “So, from our point of view, Gotion is not doing anything to make Manteno a better place to live. We do not want Gotion here. We do not want chemicals in our town. We do not want dangerous, possible explosions and fires. “… We’re standing up for our town. We want our town to be a safe place for all of us to live.” ONLY ONE TO BID Knox said Gotion was the only chamber member to put in a bid to be the presenting sponsor. He said the $50,000 is a quite a jump. “It’ll really enhance the festival,” he said. “I’m excited for the community and to see the new additions that we’re going to be bringing in with the investment that they’re helping us make.” Knox said the chamber has heard some concerns about Gotion being the presenting sponsor, but that comes with the territory. “We’re just going to push forward and show [the community] all the great things that they are bringing,” he said. “We can’t lose sight that there’s the whole other side of the coin that’s optimistic and excited for this kind of partnership and presenting partnership.” The influx of money is allowing the chamber to add to the Oktoberfest including a drone show Friday night, a partnership with River Valley Animal Rescue with the Makola Gold Star family project, performance stages and entertainment all four nights. “We’re upping the ante,” Knox said. LaMore, a lifelong Manteno resident, said she plans to attend the Oktoberfest. “I have heard from some people who have said, ‘I don’t even think I want to go this year,’” she said. “That’s the word on the street that I’ve heard.”)

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Illinois Bans Most Employers from Using E-Verify – Jonathan Ellett
https://www.fairus.org/legislation/state-and-local/illinois-bans-most-employers-using-e-verify
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) recently signed into law a bill that significantly hampers employers’ ability to utilize E-Verify to check the work authorization of their prospective employees. Following California’s lead, Illinois becomes the second state to impose restrictions on E-Verify usage. This legislation was not the first time the use of E-Verify has been challenged in Illinois. In August 2007, the legislature passed a law which explicitly prohibited employers from using E-Verify until the U.S. government could prove its accuracy. This effort was short-lived, as an Illinois District Court struck down the law in March 2009 for violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Then, in 2023, SB 1515, was introduced which prohibited employers from voluntarily enrolling in E-Verify unless they were required to do so under state or federal law. However, Governor Pritzker vetoed that legislation stating that the bill did not do enough to protect “workers.” This year, legislation to restrict the use of E-Verify was reintroduced. Section 13(b) of the Act, broadly prohibits the use of E-Verify. Section 13(b) reads that an “employer shall not impose work authorization verification or re-verification requirements greater than those required by federal law.” As federal law does not require the use of E-Verify, this means that Illinois employers may not use E-Verify to check whether their employers are work authorized unless there is some reason (such as prior violations) that the federal government requires them to. This prohibition applies to both public and private employers. Supporters of the bill claim to be helping workers from some sort of injustice. State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes (D-Chicago), the primary sponsor of the new law, stated that his motivation was to protect “marginalized workers” from being flagged during the employment authorization process due to grammatical errors. “With this law, we can correct bureaucratic errors that would otherwise be detrimental to their income and livelihoods.” Another sponsor, State Representative Eva-Dina Delgado (D-Chicago), proclaimed that in “too many other states, E-Verify is being abused. In Illinois, we are moving in the opposite direction.” While Illinois enacted legislation that helps illegal aliens violate the law by taking jobs and driving down wages, FAIR will continue to advocate mandatory E-Verify laws at the federal, state and local levels because it is a simple tool that works. As we detailed in a FAIR issue brief, illegal immigration fell by as much as 50 percent in a single year in states with mandatory E-Verify laws. Moreover, E-Verify eliminates the main incentive for illegal aliens to come to the United States: work.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In July, the Supreme Court declined to review a similar case on Illinois’s AR-15 ban. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, urged the court to clarify what makes a weapon dangerous and unusual. But legal observers say the Supreme Court is more likely to take up the case out of Maryland. The lower-court litigation, unlike in the Illinois case, is completed with a final judgment against the plaintiffs and amassed a more extensive evidentiary record. The Fourth Circuit ruling also carries more weight coming from the full bench instead of a typical three-judge panel.)

I should write a book about the impact that the leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have had on who runs for offices on ballots in my precinct since 2000. Overwhelmingly, they a) have encouraged to run those who are moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and b) have discouraged from running those like me who are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

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

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

— 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.)

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/52_agree_biden_should_resign_presidency
July 12, 2024
Do you agree with retiring Republican State Senator Dan Caulkins that the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) a) should urge Don Tracy to delay his resignation as IRP chairman and b) delay its election of a new IRP chairman? If so, you should contact Tracy and your IRP SCC member immediately.
ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Urge the IL GOP SCC Committee to Pick Kathy Salvi – David E. Smith and David E. Curtin (COMMENT: How much do you know about John Cabello, Aaron Del Mar, and Kathy Salvi who want to be the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman? In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP State Central Committee elected Andy McKenna as the IRP chairman. Participants in that forum were John Cox, Stephen McGlynn, McKenna, and Jim Nalepa. Jim Oberweis wanted to participate, but could not. Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I know that because I served as chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. Chairmen of Republican organizations are blamed for all the losses that Republican candidates suffer.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/the-next-ilgop-chair-will-be/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC) will be meeting (AT NOON TODAY) to consider how to fill the vacancy left by Chairman Don Tracy, who resigned in June. We are only aware of a couple of candidates who are up for consideration. Of course, we want to see someone who is fully committed to uphold the planks on the sanctity of human life, marriage, family, immigration security and religious liberty. Therefore, we wholeheartedly endorse Kathy Salvi for the next Illinois GOP chair. In fact, we don’t think we could ask for a better person to serve in that role. The 64-year-old mother of six adult children is the wife of former State Representative Al Salvi (1993-1996), who was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 1996 and Illinois Secretary of State in 1998. We have complete confidence that Kathy is not only a true conservative, but one who will fight to keep the aforementioned planks in the Illinois GOP Platform. Take ACTION: Click HERE ( https://www.votervoice.net/ILFI/Campaigns/116846/Respond ) to send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to select Kathy Salvi. We cannot afford to have a chairman who is unwilling or dispassionate about certain critical GOP Platform planks or who has an agenda that isn’t aligned with them. Background. Both Salvis have been outspoken pro-life pro-family conservatives. Both attended the private Catholic school, Carmel High School in Mundelein, as did former U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R-PA). The Salvis and Santorums are close friends. Kathy, and her husband Al, have a long history in conservative Illinois politics, especially in pro-life advocacy, including championing abstinence education. Kathy worked closely with Al over the years as they have been involved in GOP and family and pro-life conservative efforts helping candidates. In 2022, she ran and won the U.S. Senate primary nomination with 30% of the vote against 6 other great candidates. Unfortunately, Kathy was unable to defeat incumbent Tammy Duckworth in the General Election. As we know, the red wave did not materialize that year and it was tough election cycle for Republicans in Illinois.)
ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Angry, Bitter Don Tracy Meddling in IL GOP Chairman’s Race as SCC Rushes Selection to Appoint New State Party Chair.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/07/angry-bitter-don-tracy-meddling-in-il-gop-chairmans-race-as-ssc-rushes-selection-to-appoint-new-state-party-chair.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the Republican National Convention just days away, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee is moving at warp speed to appoint a new state party chairman as Republicans across the state raise concerns about the vetting process and the need for transparency as candidates jockey to be the next leader of the Illinois Republican Party. On Wednesday evening, three candidates submitted their applications for party chairman: Aaron Del Mar, John Cabello and Kathy Salvi – but it’s Salvi – the former GOP nominee for U.S. Senate that’s creating the most buzz amongst grassroots circles. For the last two years, Salvi has defended outgoing chairman Don Tracy, co-hosted state party fundraisers with Tracy, and was endorsed by gubernatorial candidate Richard Irvin during the 2022 election cycle. Irvin was the state party’s favorite candidate – and Tracy’s too, although he won’t admit it – during the 2022 primary, but lost in a landslide to the conservative grassroots-backed candidate by 43 points. And during the primary campaign, it was reported by WTTW’s Paris Schutz that in 2018, Irvin sent text messages calling Trump an “idiot” and a “bigoted racist.” Irvin also texted the friend, “I hate Trump too!” Prior to running for governor, Irvin spent years praising Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker, referring to him as a, “great friend and a great leader.” And in 2020, Irvin spoke at a Black Lives Matter rally yelling, “I can’t breathe!” In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, Tracy admitted during a July 2022 meeting with conservative leaders that the Irvin campaign for governor was allowed to use the IL GOP postage discount for mailers – a perk not afforded to other candidates for governor during the primary. Tracy acknowledged use of the postage discount in the recording, but said the IL GOP was taking its “direction from the House Caucus and the Senate Caucus.” In conservative circles across the state, many believe that Tracy is propping up Salvi to be his heir apparent, and multiple party insiders have shared with this publication that a backroom deal has been struck that gives Salvi the chairmanship and Jason Plummer – a downstate Republican state senator, the vice chair position. Plummer works closely with Tracy’s sister-in-law, State Sen. Jill Tracy, who serves alongside Plummer in the state senate and is the Senate Republican Whip. On Wednesday, retiring State. Sen. Dan Caulkins, a conservative from Decatur and member of the Illinois Freedom Caucus, released a statement urging the delay of Tracy’s resignation as state party chair, arguing that, “My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed.” Applications were due on Wednesday, June 10, and the SSC meets two days later on June 12 to elect a new leader.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed. We are setting up whoever takes over the chairmanship for failure. Caulkins publicly asked Tracy to delay his resignation through the Nov. 19 election and the rest of the calendar year. “The reality is the truncated timetable prohibits them from making a strong case for their candidacy,” Caulkins wrote. “We gain nothing by rushing this important decision and we risk losing traction in a state that we can ill afford to cede anymore ground to the Democrats.”)

— How a 1994 highway tragedy led to debilitation of the Illinois Republican Party – Andy Shaw (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for George Ryan’s and for Jim Ryan’s problems. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/12/opinion-illinois-republican-party-george-ryan-operation-safe-road-don-tracy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The charred remains of Scott and Janet Willis’ minivan sits on the side of Interstate 94, Nov. 8, 1994, near Milwaukee after a part fell off a truck causing a fire that killed six of their children. The accident led to an investigation that eventually doomed former Illinois Gov. George Ryan’s political career. . .Power wondered if ABC affiliate WLS-Ch. 7, where I was covering politics, might be interested in what whistleblowers in then-Secretary of State George Ryan’s office were telling him about alleged corruption that may have contributed to a fiery 1994 explosion on a Milwaukee expressway that injured his clients — Duane “Scott” Willis and his wife, Janet — and killed their young children, who were riding in the back seat. So we interviewed the same whistleblowers, who were supervisors in Ryan’s suburban McCook office, and they identified a handful of employees, under the direction of Ryan’s chief of staff, who were issuing commercial driver’s licenses to minimally qualified truckers in exchange for cash bribes that went into their pockets and Ryan’s campaign coffers. . .Our story about the crash, and the alleged corruption that contributed to it, led a 10 p.m. newscast in early 1998, and we aired multiple follow-ups, but the affable and avuncular Ryan, a popular political veteran who was then running for governor, denied any knowledge of the alleged corruption in his office. That helped him survive a GOP primary challenge and defeat a weak Democratic challenger in the November election, even as storm clouds of a sweeping federal investigation that began after our stories aired were swirling around him. That investigation, dubbed “Operation Safe Road” by the feds, eventually led to the conviction of Ryan and others, many of them powerful Republican Party funders, operatives and insiders, leaving the Illinois GOP in shambles and paving the way for the gubernatorial election of Democrat Rod Blagojevich in 2002, ending 26 years of GOP control of the governor’s office in Springfield. The decimation of the Republican Party’s infrastructure also enabled then-Illinois House Speaker and state Democratic Party Chairman Michael Madigan to engineer the election of Democrats to all but one statewide office, super-majorities in both legislative chambers and control of the Illinois Supreme Court.)

If I had been a minority, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year, long before I was 40 years old. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. All those who GAO, IRS, and the Post Office hired and/or promoted over me were Democrats 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. All of the aforesaid were minorities, females, younger than me, veterans, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

(COMMENT: How soon will RINO Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, RINO county party leaders, and RINO township/ward party leaders succeed in expunging all the members of the aforesaid organizations who are conservative, that is, who are platform Republicans, that is, who are Republicans? I should write a book about the success that RINO IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders have had expunging me.)
https://www.gopusa.com/can-rinos-finally-expunge-conservatism-from-the-party/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the insidious tenacity of termites, the RINOs are at it again in 2024, seeking to convince the Republican National Convention to abandon fundamental issues of morality and societal integrity, by removing the Party’s pro-life and pro-marriage platform planks. With this they hope to steer the party towards the platitude of fiscal only “conservatism.” They feel emboldened to make such a move in the wake of pro-abort ballot measures which passed in off-year elections in Kansas and Ohio. So they plot to derail party unity that should be focused singularly on victory for President Trump in November.)

— Democrat and RINO leaders crow that “Number of LGBTQ elected officials up 200 percent since 2017.” Overwhelmingly, RINO candidates, RINO elected officials, RINO party leaders, RINO major donors, RINO etc. promote LGBTQ. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

— Republicans Rally Behind Trump After Conviction – Shane Goldmacher and Ruth Igielnik (COMMENT: Far too many Republican leaders in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have yet to rally behind Trump. Will they ever? Republican Precinct Committeemen like me are required to support in general elections those candidates who won Republican primary elections. I have always done that. I should write a book about those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates who I done the most to help elect and to reelect, but who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— House G.O.P. Pushes Deep Cuts to Federal Law Enforcement – Catie Edmondson (COMMENT: The Democrats who run the Justice Department would use any Republican-led budget cuts to first get rid of their few remaining Republican employees and then to get rid of their employees who are heterosexual, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what the Democrats who ran GAO did during the 1980s and 1990s.)

— Fraud Cases Are Taxing Resources At the I.R.S. – Alan Rappeport (COMMENT: I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years before that. My Democrat IRS superiors and my Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives wasted what I learned doing that.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Social content can be restricted. High court gives Biden administration a win. – Maureen Groppe and Bart Jansen (COMMENT: What do you do? Who wants to restrict you? I am an independent non-for-profit conservative Republican aggregator of political and government news and commentary of interest to Illinois Republicans. My critics/opponents who are leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization want to a) restrict what I put in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters if not stop me from sending those newsletters out and/or b) stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. I should write a book about them and the adverse actions that they continue to take against me and the adverse actions that they have taken against me.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Millions of Taxpayers Call the IRS for Help. Two-Thirds Don’t Reach Anyone. The agency hired nearly 7,000 new customer-service representatives, but its internal watchdog group says it still falls short. – Ashlea Ebeling (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. During 1974 IRS filing season, 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 the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the CentiPhone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, 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 draft.)

— The IRS Apologizes to Ken Griffin – Editorial (COMMENT: The Democrat Party runs IRS. Because of that, do not anticipate/expect that my Democrat IRS superiors will ever apologize to me for the big adverse actions that they took against me including a) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, b) never promoting me beyond GS-12, c) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and d) encouraging GAO to force me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. They were beyond furious when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS 1986-1988.)

— A Political Base Is Only a Base. Neither party can win without expanding its appeal to swing voters and even defectors. – Karl Rove (COMMENT: RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders appeal to swing voters by destroying conservatives, that is, by destroying the base of the Republican Party. I should write a book about that. In Illinois, they destroyed TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition.)
