https://radio.foxnews.com/2023/04/02/dr-jeff-myers-on-exposing-the-gender-lies/

The shooting in Nashville, TN has even furthered the debate, as the shooter identified as trans. The controversy has pitted supporters of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones against those who call those drugs dangerous and believe that gender is immutable.)

HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— Report of the National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness (COMMENT: What do you owe your successes in life to? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I owe absolutely none of my successes in life to meritocracy. According to them, I owe all my successes in life a) to my parents’, to my grandparents’, to my great grandparents’, and to the rest of my ancestors’ discrimination against minorities, against women, against younger people, against etc., b) to the inherited wealth that they had and that they used to raise me, c) to my being born a healthy White male, d) to my avoiding the draft, e) to my being a grossly overpaid federal employee, f) to my getting married, g) to my wife’s income, h) to my wife and I giving up trying to have children, to our not adopting, and to our not becoming foster parents, i) to etc.)
https://www.heritage.org/defense/report/report-the-national-independent-panel-military-service-and-readiness
(FROM THE REPORT: The panel was commissioned based on a widely shared concern that the Biden Administration’s imposition of progressive social and environmental agendas is distracting the military from its primary mission and undermining readiness. Specifically, evidence indicates that appointed Pentagon political leaders are dragging divisive progressive social justice ideologies into an institution that, for 248 years, has sought to remain apolitical and neutral. . .Yet the precepts of DEI distract from developing a well-trained, merit-based military, and some manifestations of DEI, such as the teaching of postmodernist theories, run counter to the foundational principles that define the United States, especially equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. . .Moreover, the concept of “equity”—a push for equal outcomes rather than equal opportunity—contradicts the foundational principle that has helped the military earn the reputation as the nation’s most successful meritocracy, with rank and benefits bestowed on those who distinguish themselves by extraordinary performance—no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, or any other personal characteristic. . .Of all institutions in America, the military has a remarkable history of inclusion, adhering to merit-based standards, enforcing mutual respect within its ranks, and adherence to virtuous principles such as honor, service, and tolerance. . .But civilian and military leaders should not allow reified postmodernist theories to erode the military’s meritocracy and objective realities that are essential to preserving the warrior ethos as the foundation of combat effectiveness. For example, these vague DEI principles detract from the military’s warfighting mission when they disguise practices that give preference based on identity category rather than adhering exclusively to meritocracy. . .Including such DEI training programs impacts not only the public’s perception of the military but also military culture. Perceptions that were once mainstream cultural norms (such as the concepts of equal opportunity, meritocracy, and “colorblindness”) are, in practice, sometimes deliberately ignored or viewed as unacceptable are problematic. . .The brief admits that the service academies are using racial preferences to achieve and maintain officer racial diversity. It then cites defense officials’ unsupported claims that diversity is “a national security imperative,” which lies in opposition to the military’s meritocracy. . .Congress should explicitly prohibit non-merit-based criteria in selection for the military academies. Actively solicit more applications from more diverse communities but select the best applicants regardless of identity categories. . .Congress should pass legislation expressing the sense of Congress that indeed the military should provide equal opportunity for all members, that advancement and selection should be based solely on merit, that promotion and selection boards should not see photos of candidates during the selection process, and that meeting the needs of the services should always take precedence over meeting artificially derived quotas for diversity.)

CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY
— Career-limiting
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/career-limiting

All of my superiors and supervisors were some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the following: a) anti-conservative, b) anti-Republican, c) anti-White, d) anti-male, e) anti-draft avoiders, f) anti-older people, g) anti-Protestants, h) anti-German Americans, i) anti-those whose ancestors had been in America longer than their ancestors, j) anti-those who had more education, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses than they did, k) anti-union, l) obsessed with drinking, smoking, gambling, spectator sports, and/or golf, m) hated American nameplate cars and especially Corvettes, and/or n) painted themselves as having suffered tremendously financially and career-wise a) from being a veteran, b) from being a minority, c) from being female, d) from being younger, e) from being non-Protestant, f) from being non-German American, g) from not having parents who had been in America for a long time, h) from having spouses who had little/no income, and/or i) from raising children.

Only two of my superiors were none of the above. The IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and who finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986 and promoting me to GS-13 in 1986. Of course, my IRS and GAO superiors got rid of them.

Of course, I did not know, or I did not fully realize, the aforesaid anti-ness that my superiors and supervisors had until after they had taken adverse actions against me.

Tragically for me, I did the following career-limiting things 1964-1997:

— Refused to become a moderate/liberal
— Refused to become a Democrat
— Refused to renounce my Missouri Synod Lutheran upbringing
— Refused to renounce my being 100% German American
— Refused to renounce my ancestors
— Avoided the Viet Nam War draft
— Drove to work in new cars that I bought new – 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE

— Was a union member 1966-1969 and 1971-1980
— Bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971
— Earned more job-related college degrees, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses than my superiors and supervisors did
— When on vacations to Hawaii, Jamacia, Mexico, and the Bahamas with one of my coworkers 1973-1976
— Bought real estate in 1972, 1974, and 1976
— Refused to glorify and praise my superiors and supervisors
— Refused to pander to my superiors and supervisors
— Refused to help my superiors and supervisors get rid of their Republican employees
— Refusing to share their obsessions with drinking, smoking, gambling, spectator sports, and/or golf
— Married someone who had savings and a good job in 1978
— Bought a home in Wheaton with her in 1978 and had one built there with her in 1984
— When on many vacations with her to luxury resorts in connection with her business travel 1978-1992
— Gave up trying to have children with her, did not adopt, and did not become a foster parent
— Bought a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS collector car in 1989 and bought a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994
— Complained about political affiliation discrimination
— Complained about reverse discrimination
— Complained about religious discrimination
— Complained about national origin discrimination
— Complained about age discrimination

— Became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation

Because of the aforesaid career-limiting things that I did, my superiors and supervisors took many big adverse actions against me culminating in their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

Of course, my critics/opponent, their operatives, and their dupes disagree with me and side with my superiors and supervisors.

According to them, all the adverse actions that my superiors and supervisors took against me were completely justified because I am a disgusting bad person.

Which of the aforesaid things that I did do you disagree with me that they were career-limiting and why?

Which of the aforesaid things that I did do you disagree with me that they should not be career-limiting and why?

Which of the aforesaid career-limiting things that I did do you fault me for doing and why?

As time went on, it became clearer and clearer to me that Civil Service protections (SEE: https://www.mspb.gov/studies/studies/What_is_Due_Process_in_Federal_Civil_Service_Employment_1166935.pdf ) are worthless for federal employees who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

https://amgreatness.com/2023/03/31/tennessee-state-troopers-prevent-far-left-radicals-from-storming-state-capitol/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, a mob of far-left pro-trans activists attempted to storm the Tennessee State Capitol after the Nashville school shooting, only to be stopped by state troopers. Just The News reports that the attempted breach was carried out by over 1,000 rioters, consisting mostly of young people, angry at growing backlash against the ideology of transgenderism after a mentally ill woman attacked a Christian school, shooting and killing six victims, including three 9-year-old children. Dramatic video footage shows the rioters repeatedly attempting to enter the State House of Representatives while the legislature was in session, with state troopers using their own bodies to block the doors and force the rioters back. At least one rioter can be seen being secured and taken away by the officers.)

CITY JOURNAL
— Beyond Race Sixty years on, the ethnic model described in Beyond the Melting Pot merits revisiting. – Charles Fain Lehman (COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly a) discourage assimilation and b) encourage immigrants to hate Republicans, and to especially hate Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, in traditional marriages, gun-owners, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.city-journal.org/beyond-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Between 1924 and 1964, roughly 7.7 million people—fewer than 200,000 a year—obtained lawful permanent-resident status in the United States. Between 1965 and 2020, the equivalent figure is 43.7 million, nearly 800,000 a year. Today, roughly 14 percent of the U.S. population was born abroad, three times higher than 1965 and roughly on par with the peaks of the late nineteenth century. This new immigration has profoundly changed the nation’s demographic composition. As late as the 1960 Census, blacks and whites constituted 99 percent of the U.S. population. Hispanics were not even identified separately; when they were, in 1970, they were less than 5 percent of Americans. In 2019, that same figure was 18.5 percent. Asians went from one-half of 1 percent in 1960 to 6 percent. Nearly a quarter of Americans now hail from groups that were essentially absent from America before 1965. The model of incomplete assimilation described in Beyond the Melting Pot may appear to suggest that these new Americans won’t assimilate any more completely than did the white ethnics who preceded them. But that would be too hasty, for the question remains open: Will these new immigrants count themselves as members of racial groups, or ethnic groups? Race continues to be prominent in our national debate. Assimilation has rarely been a dirtier word. Contemporary progressivism collapses ethnic and national origin distinctions into racial blocs: witness the rapid adoption of such homogenizing terms as BIPOC (“Black, Indigenous, Person of Color”) and AAPI (“Asian American and Pacific Islander”). This racialization forms a central component of the “antiracist” strategy for political power. Sometimes, members of ethnic groups behave in ways the progressive racial cosmology fails to predict—when Cuban Americans vote Republican, say, or Chinese Americans oppose affirmative action. In response, progressive advocates call for racial solidarity to bring fence-sitters in line, or label them privileged beneficiaries of “multiracial whiteness,” an implicit charge of race treason.)

WBEZ
— Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America, b) run Illinois, and c) demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans as being extremists who should be gotten rid of once and for all. I should write a book about the following who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me the most as being an extremist: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, c) conservative leaders and activists, and d) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid a) who have done the most to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and/or to stop everyone from reading those newsletters, b) who have never come to my defense, and/or c) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— Democrats say “Rehiring retirees as a quick fix for Chicago Police could undermine reform. Throughout Chicago’s mayoral race, candidate Paul Vallas has said CPD retirees are low-hanging fruit for replenishing sworn police ranks.” My critics/opponents stress a) that employers push their employees who they want to get rid of to retire as soon as they are eligible and b) that GAO forced me to take early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old. According to my critics/opponents, GAO did that because I was a “BAD” employee and not because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination.
https://www.wbez.org/stories/vallas-favors-rehiring-retirees-for-chicago-police/693341f5-fd95-4216-a237-29f3ecb98260

STATELINE
— Democrats say “Illinois considers letting non-citizens become police officers.” If there had been as many non-citizens in the Chicago area when I was young as there are now, a) S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1964 to wash dishes, b) the Park Forest Post Office would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1966 to deliver mail, c) IRS in Chicago would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1971 to collect delinquent taxes, and d) GAO in Chicago would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1980 to audit federal agencies. My critics/opponents cannot similarly say that non-citizens would have been hired instead of them because they did not have to take “bad jobs” like I did because their parents had far more money than my parents had. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

— Democrats say “GOP wants answers after IRS agent allegedly shows up at Twitter Files journalist’s house.” I should write a book about the adverse actions that the Democrats who ran IRS took against me. I would focus on their a) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) not promoting me after 1974. One reason why I agreed to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 was to escape further adverse actions.

NPR ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “Republican lawmakers want to give parents increased oversight into their children’s education.” Yes, but if given more power, Democrat parents will do even more to force their schools to crank out “good little Democrats.” Ever-increasingly, if you are not a Democrat, a) colleges will not accept you, b) employers will not hire, retain, or promote you, and c) employers will get rid of you.

— Democrats say “As new military policy on abortion & reproductive health takes effect, GOP vows to fight it.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors a) who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that I lied about my and my wife’s efforts to have children and b) who viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, viciously condemned me, and viciously punished me for our not adopting or becoming foster parents. Better yet, I should sue them.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Department of Defense policy allows service members to take up to three weeks off for abortion or IVF and reimburses them for travel expenses. This comes in the wake of the overturn of Roe v. Wade.)

WCIA
— Democrats ever-increasingly accuse Republican school board candidates of wanting to pursue “extremist political agendas.” But if fact, Democrat school board candidates pursue extremist political agendas. They want schools to make students good little Democrats who are sexually active, LGBTQ, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-rich people, anti-home owners, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

Consequently, my precinct needlessly suffered far greater exposure to storm-caused outages. Actions that I took included pursing an ICC complaint (Docket No. 990063) against ComEd. Ultimately, ComEd began routing power to my precinct from its nearby distribution center and power reliability has improved dramatically.)

— Democrats say “Chicago’s Mayoral Race Pits the Teachers Union Against the Police Union. In a city known for its unions, two loom over the Paul Vallas-Brandon Johnson race, and no labor leader is as significant as the incendiary president of the Fraternal Order of Police.”

— Democrats say “What the Republican Push for ‘Parents’ Rights’ Is Really About.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats use public education to promote the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms, that is, to get of Republicans once and for all. I should write a book about those who have used against me the most a) my attending Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and b) my attending Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who are/were non-Protestant and/or non-German American. I would focus on those who really are conservative-hating Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Independent plants, or RINOs.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Should I form an “Association of Conservative Illinois Journalists?” Of course my critics/opponents would fight me tooth and nail. In my defense, I would stress a) that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, b) that since 2004, GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have included links to more than 453,700 articles, c) that what I did as a GAO Analyst 1980-1997 was very similar to what journalists do, and d) that during my last 11 years at GAO, my salary increased from $109,732/year to $142,650/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading my newsletters. Most recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who compete directly against me and who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen

https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/illinois-house-oks-bill-to-prohibit-banning-of-books-in-libraries-senate-next/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois House passed a bill last Wednesday that would prohibit libraries from banning books or other material because of partisan or doctrinal pressure, prompting strong opposition from Republicans who called it an assault on local control. . .Some Republicans, however, argued that public libraries are governed by locally elected boards, and that those boards should have the authority to decide how best to serve their communities. “I find this a complete assault on local control,” said Rep. Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills). These people volunteer as nonpartisan elected local officials, and for the state to tell a local library board, ‘listen to the professionals; follow the professionals’ – I don’t understand why we have local elections anymore if a bill like this passes.” The bill passed the House 69-39 with all of the no votes coming from Republicans. Three Democrats and one Republican were recorded as present but not voting. The bill next goes to the Senate for consideration.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party of Illinois is spending $300,000 on mailers and online campaigns for local school and library board races early next month. Democrats said in a news release they’ve identified dozens of candidates they recommend and oppose while launching a website DefendOurSchoolsIL.com. Last week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker explained why his attention is on local school board races. “There are lots of candidates who are running, Republicans or Democrats, they’re not listed on the ballots as such. What we’re trying to do is to raise awareness about the extremists that are running,” Pritzker said at an unrelated event last week.)

https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-03-24/what-a-house-gop-messaging-bill-could-spell-for-2024-culture-war-campaign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill, introduced by Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow, requires schools to notify parents that they have the right to review the curriculum and school budget, inspect books and other library materials, and receive information about any violent activity in the school. The bill would also prohibit schools from selling student information. Elementary schools or schools housing grades 5-8 would be required to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s pronouns or preferred name or allowing a student to change their sex-based accommodations, like locker rooms or bathrooms.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lawmakers are considering bills that would create a new tax credit for affordable housing, referred to as the “Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit.” The legislation, contained in the identical House Bill 2044 and Senate Bill 1737, would mirror a federal program administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and Chicago Department of Housing which helps finance affordable housing across Illinois.

— Could we get the ‘banned books’ people to start caring about banned books? – Timothy P. Carney
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/could-we-get-banned-books-people-care-banned-books
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Did you know that the 1619 Project is a banned book? This might surprise you, given that it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, has a Hulu original series, and that governments everywhere are paying the author tens of thousands of dollars to speak about the book. Did you know that The Handmaid’s Tale is also banned? Again, this could be a confusing fact for anyone paying any attention to American media and elite culture over the past seven years. But the 1619 Project and The Handmaid’s Tale are two of the books pictured in this NPR story on banned books or the “banned book” websites to which it links. Of course, by no ordinary understanding of the word “banned” are these books banned, as evidenced that every book mentioned herein is available at every prestige bookstore, every chain bookstore, and Amazon. What’s going on is that activists have decided to change the meaning of “banned books” to include any book that has been removed from a middle school curriculum or is not stocked in a high school library. It’s normal that activists would abuse language in order to make their own issue seem more important. It’s unfortunate that this abuse of language is at the hands of people who claim to care about literacy, given that precision in language is a way in which literature can liberate and inform. It’s also lamentable that so much of the news media credulously adopts the activists’ dishonest language. NPR uncritically repeats the word “ban” more than 50 times in this story about books that obviously everyone can buy, get for free, and take out from public libraries.)

— Democrats say “More immigrants can help reduce deficits and the debt.” Immigrants take “bad jobs.” If there had been as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, a) S.S. Kresge would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1966 to wash dishes, b) the Post Office would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1966 to deliver mail, c) IRS would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1971 to collect delinquent taxes, and d) GAO would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1980 to audit federal agencies. My critics/opponents cannot similarly say that immigrants would have been hired instead of them because they did not have to take “bad jobs” because their parents had far more money than my parents had. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrats say “What It’s Like to Become a Caregiver to Your Parents in Your 20s.” My mother stayed home and raised my brother and I. She never attended high school. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21-year-old NIU student. Potential employers were not interested in hiring me because they viewed me as being draft-bait and my demographics were terrible. In 1970, after a) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, b) getting a job working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, a job that did not really require a college degree, c) moving back in with my mother and brother in Crete, and d) starting to help support them financially, I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment. Before that application was approved in 1971, a) Oldsmobile offered me a job which I accepted, b) my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that job offer, and c) Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of the aforesaid, I accepted a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $52,002/year) Revenue Officer. I got rehired by Firestone to work part-time pumping gasoline and I continued to live with my mother and brother and to help support them financially until my mother got a better paying job in 1972. In September of 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park.)

EPOCH TIMES
— House Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act – Joseph Lord
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-parents-bill-of-rights-act_5147144.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Republicans’ key goals in crafting the bill was to ensure that parents who speak out against what is being taught to their children do not face retribution from local, state, or federal authorities. “No longer will [parents] have their speech denied, or feel threatened for expressing their concerns at school board meetings,” Foxx said. The comment was in reference to a late-2021 controversy in which Attorney General Merrick Garland offered federal resources and guidance to local law enforcement to target parents who attended school board meetings. In 2021, the United States saw a deluge of concerned parents coming to school board meetings to speak out against left-wing ideology in the classroom. Many parents came to their school board to speak out against critical race theory (CRT), a highly contentious left-wing theory that holds that white people are inherently “privileged” and that non-white people are inherently oppressed. Critics of CRT note that it has its origins in the political thought of Karl Marx, the ideological founder of communism; the theory has also been criticized as racist for its efforts to reduce the individual to a member of a group on the basis of their skin color. In his remarks against the bill, Scott suggested that CRT was “an accurate recounting of our nation’s history,” and that the legislation would “punish librarians” who pushed CRT. Other parents came to school board meetings to speak out against fringe left-wing notions of sex and gender. Many left-wing activists claim that gender is a social construct and that a person can change their gender based on their feelings. One parent, Terry Newsome of Chicago, who spoke out against allowing “Gender Queer” in his kids’ school library in 2021, was later placed on a terror watch-list with no warning or further explanation.)

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/huckabee-sanders-goes-after-white-privilege-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a mandatory training last month, a high school in Arkansas issued its teachers a poll that forced them to reject the perks that come with being White. The survey was titled “Cultural Competency Continuum: Knowledge, Behaviors, and Dispositions for Educators,” and it was handed out during an obligatory educator-led development training, according to a letter sent by John L. Colbert, Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent. However, the unexpected teacher survey may have possibly violated Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ restriction on Critical Race Theory (CRT). “My administration will not tolerate this kind of CRT and indoctrination in our public schools,” Sanders said. Photos of the four-section survey, which the group had obtained from a teacher, were tweeted by a local “Mom’s for Liberty” chapter. “This survey compels teachers to acknowledge that, if White, they are biased, racist, and privileged… The survey does not measure IF a teacher is racist and privileged but rather how far down the racist and privileged continuum their answers rate them,” tweeted the mother-run group. “If there was any question about the presence of CRT in our district, this survey removes all doubt.” The Cultural Competency Continuum survey was recently given to teachers at Fayetteville High. This survey requires “teachers to acknowledge and to continually examine the influence of race, culture, power and privilege…In the “Analyze and Align” portion, educators were asked if they renounce “any privileges that come with White racial identity” and if they “advocate for cultural competency and social justice effectively and professionally.” The “Awaken and Assess” portion questioned participants if they were cognizant of their own privileges, biases, and stereotypes. In the “Apply and Act” portion, participants were asked if they normally “monitor and manage equitable access and support services” for their students by looking at data on their gender, color, ethnicity, and language. Also, it inquired as to whether they permit pupils to raise the awareness of teachers “by questioning bias assumptions or behaviors observed in our school environment.” Additionally, the survey questioned if participating educators were “brave equity warriors.” “We’ve already reached out to the district to ensure no teacher is forced to sign this pledge. We’re making sure it doesn’t happen again. We will teach kids how to think, not what to think,” Sanders said. Sanders had announced a ban on the schooling of CRT as one of her first official acts as governor. In his letter, Colbert stated that the Arkansas Department of Education had found the survey to be in violation of this rule. “Based on this guidance, Fayetteville Public Schools will ensure this survey is not further disseminated,” Colbert said in response to angry teachers and parents. All upcoming professional development materials, he pledged, would be examined to assure the utmost compliance. Colbert later downplayed the incident, claiming that the teacher survey was only ever used as a tool for introspection and was never actually collected or made mandatory.

— Is $3 Million Enough to Retire at 65? – BOB HAEGELE (COMMENT: Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my $63,144/year Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension a) is only 44% of what my ending GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars. My Social Security is only $2,531/year because I get a CSRS pension.)
https://www.aol.com/finance/3-million-enough-retire-65-130039758.html

O’Connor (COMMENT: Up through early August of 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors falsely led me to believe that they would let me work until September of 2003 when I would first be eligible for regular retirement. But by September 30, 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” Because of that, my $63,144/year Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension a) is only 44% of what my ending GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

But that assumes that “Your beneficiaries would receive a lump-sum payout of your initial investment less any payments received,” but that is not the case for me.)

https://phys.org/news/2023-03-non-white-homeowners-property.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In flood-prone areas of New York state, non-white homeowners are more likely than white homeowners to take active, sometimes-costly measures—such as finding a way to protect a furnace, a water heater or installing a sump pump—to prepare for a possible deluge, according to a new Cornell study. White respondents to a survey, the researchers learned, were generally more confident of better outcomes from dire situations and saw the possibility of a flood threat differently. Thus, people who identified as white took more low-cost actions to protect their property from flooding—but tended to stop short of expensive measures. “Most of the time for people who live in flood-prone areas, flooding is not a top-of-the-mind worry,”)

Further, according to them a) my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984 and b) my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, all of my Democrat superiors and supervisors had children. All of them strongly painted themselves as being severely cash-strapped, education-limited, professional certification/license-limited, and/or career-limited because of their children. They viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors.)

https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/21/donald-trump-plan-dismantle-deep-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former President Donald Trump unveiled his new plan Tuesday to “dismantle the deep state” by firing “rogue” bureaucrats and career politicians, according to a new policy agenda video. Trump released a list of ten items that indicate how he plans to “clean out the deep state,” starting with re-instating an executive order that would give the president the authority to fire bureaucrats, according to the video posted on Rumble. The former president’s plan would dismantle the “Washington Swamp,” target corruption and ensure that federal bureaucrats and politicians are held accountable. “The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible,” Trump said in the video.)

ANSWER: To get rid of me a) because I was a Republican who had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I was conservative, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestor had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972.)

I should write a book about a) Democrat plants, b) Libertarian plants, c) Green plants, d) Independent plants, and e) RINOs who falsely claim to be conservative.

I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who a) almost stopped me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, c) ended my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, h) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, i) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and/or k) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.

REUTERS
— Democrats say “A group of seven U.S. senators on Tuesday proposed legislation to raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65, in a bid to address airline industry staffing issues.” If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and you did not make it into Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, by age 40, your Democrat superiors will force you to retire as soon as you are eligible. I was eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I was not eligible to take regular retirement until 2003 when I would have been 55. My $63,144/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less because of that. It is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars. It is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

ENTREPRENEUR
— Why Personal Responsibility Is Key to Changing Your Life – DANIEL MANGENA (COMMENT: To what extent did you take personal responsibility for getting you bachelor’s degree? I took great personal responsibility because my outstanding parents were not in a good position to pay for my college expenses. Neither of them attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and me. Further, my scholarship possibilities were extremely bleak. I only just barely made into the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee Hight School class, I could not run, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20.20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and my ACT score was only 24. That is why when I was 16 in 1964, a) I got a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights, b) I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete, high school, and my dishwashing job; c) I saved all of my salary that I could. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to get to/from my parents’ home and a) jobs during the summer of 1966 cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights, b) taking classes at UIC starting in September of 1966, and c) delivering mail part-time in Park Forest starting in November of 1966.)

— 2024 Republican Party presidential primary (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly run America lock, stock, and barrel. Therefore, Democrats will determine which candidate wins the 2024 Republican presidential primary. It will be the candidate who Democrats believe will be easiest to defeat in the 2024 general election.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— According to the Illinois Freedom Caucus, “Jim Durkin’s strategy of offering voters a ‘Democrat Lite’ agenda has been a colossal failure. Our party needs bold leadership if we ever hope to get out of the super minority.” SEE: https://abc7chicago.com/jim-durkin-illinois-house-republican-resigning/12678017/ Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party is conservative. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Single women more likely to own homes than single men despite gender pay gap.” In 1972, when I was 24 years old and single, I bought a new town home in University Park. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey collecting delinquent taxes and for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time pumping gasoline. Also, with that money, I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and starting in 1972, I paid for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1974, when I was still single, because I got promoted to an IRS job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago. In 1976, when I was still single, I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in the Loop. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $52,022/year in 1971, $63,633/year in 1972, $76,990/year in 1973, $92,279/year in 1974, $95,355/year in 1975, and $98,431/year in 1976.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/18/progressive-ny-politicians-race-bait-against-white-people/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Woke New York Democratic pols from Buffalo to Brooklyn have made racist rhetoric about white people a central pillar of their message to voters. At the local, statewide and national level, left-wing, mostly socialist, elected officials have decried without repercussion that white people live in their neighborhoods, argued they should not be eligible for certain jobs, and issued broad demonizing statements. “Anti-whiteness is the fundamental premise of the left. All that is needed to take out an institution or an individual is to publicly observe that that individual is white or that that institution (Western science, Western medicine, classical music, European art) has historically been majority white or may still be majority white today,” Heather Mac Donald, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute, told The Post. “Biden routinely says that white people have an enduring problem with racism, we represent the dark soul of the US,” Mac Donald added. Some pols, such as East New York City Councilman Charles Barron, even boast of anti-white bonafides.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Alvin Bragg’s Political Charge Against Donald Trump. An indictment of a former President must be for serious offenses with indisputable evidence. – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many other adverse actions against me before that. They not only knew that I would sue them in federal court because of that, they wanted me to sue them in federal court. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and that my Republican U.S. Representatives in Illinois, including Hastert, would not come to my defense. They knew that the Democrat-run federal courts in Illinois would deny me my 7th Amendment rights and grant GAO summary judgment, which is what they did. They knew that summary judgment would give them even more power to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budget cuts, etc. to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees, and especially those who share my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, etc. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.wsj.com/articles/alvin-braggs-political-charge-against-donald-trump-new-york-arrest-presidential-campaign-2024-election-da-charges-stormy-daniels-f5c1b6e1
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So Mr. Bragg may indict a former President for the first time in American history based on the weakest of charges. He would subject the country to a trial that would be a media circus for the ages. And he would do so running the risk that a single juror could block a guilty verdict and validate Mr. Trump’s claim that this is a political prosecution. Yes, we know, in America no one is above the law. But prosecutors use their discretion every day not to bring charges for any number of reasons. Mr. Bragg came into office vowing not to charge numerous non-violent crimes against public order. The prosecution of a former President who is again a candidate for the White House is inherently fraught with political ramifications.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats say “‘Despicable’ Pandering: Ron DeSantis Roasted For Odd Claim About His Upbringing.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have stressed the most a) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, b) that my parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL, and c) that I am 100% German American.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-cultural-upbringing_n_6417dbc4e4b0fef15244c95f
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But he claimed his “cultural” background was quite different from his “geographical” one. ″[C]ulturally my upbringing reflected the working-class communities in western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio — from weekly church attendance to the expectation that one would earn his keep,” he wrote. “This made me God-fearing, hard-working and America-loving.” NBC News notes that DeSantis’ claim stems from his parents’ “geographical” background: His father was raised in Pennsylvania, and his parents met while attending Youngstown State University in Ohio. But the governor himself never lived in either place, which just so happen to be key to any presidential ambitions.)

— Democrats say “Millennials are more likely than other generations to support a cap on personal wealth.” According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have always had too much wealth. It started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1967 and when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1970 when I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette and in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park with money that I earned working for IRS and working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time.

https://willcountygazette.com/stories/640266683-how-many-will-county-students-failed-their-math-exams-in-2022
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly 7 in 10 Will County public high school students aren’t at grade level in Math. That’s according to a Will County Gazette analysis of 2022 test score data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). ISBE reports that last year, 68.1 percent of Will County’s 7,951 public high school students failed the Math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete… understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.” Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects (partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards). This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject. Crete-Monee High School (89.9 percent), Joliet Central High School (87.6 percent), and Beecher High School (86.9 percent) had the highest failure rates in Will County.)

I would focus on those races in which candidates blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for the nastiness, b) for their winning by a smaller margin than they expected, and/or c) for their losing. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrats say “Some Trump rivals rally to his side as possible charges loom.” Who has rallied to your side when you have been attacked? I should write a book about those who have rallied to my side when I have been attacked by a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) leaders of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, e) conservative leaders and activists, f) religious leaders and activists, and g) those who I have sued and their lawyers. Because so few have rallied to my side, my book would be extremely thin. In that book, I would focus on those who have destroyed those who have rallied to my side.

DAILY HERALD
— JANUARY 18, 2022 FLASHBACK: DuPage County misses deadline to approve new precinct maps – Katlyn Smith (COMMENT: Why isn’t the Daily Herald reporting on what is happening now on this? For example, the Daily Herald could report a) which new proposed redrawn precincts contain two or more current precinct committeemen, b) their names and party affiliations, c) if they are currently serving as a township and/or county party organization officer, and d) what they are going to do if the new proposed precinct lines are not changed. For example, the Daily Herald could ask them a) will they run in 2024 or not run in 2024 no matter what and why and b) will they run only if they can run unopposed and why? I was appointed as a live-in-precinct (LIP) committeeman in 1999, elected in 2000, and then reelected every 2 years since. I have been drawn into the same new proposed precinct with Ives. If the Daily Herald asked me what I am going to do if the new proposed lines are not changed, I would say that if Ives runs, I will not. Ives represents the 3rd Congressional District on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee. Her home is in the middle of the new proposed precinct while my home is on the far western edge. Further, since the 2015 gerrymandering, Ives has represented far more of the Republican voters in the new proposed precinct than I have. She currently represents all those east and south of her home, and before the 2015 gerrymandering, she represented those east of Warrenville Road. Further the Daily Herald could ask about the impact of this precinct redrawing on leadership of the a) the 9 Republican township organizations, b) the 9 Democrat township organizations, c) the Republican county party organization, and the d) Democrat county party organization. To be eligible serve as an officer of the Milton Township Republican Organization, you have to be an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman in Milton Township. With fewer precincts, there will be fewer eligible to serve. A revised map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on April 11, 2023 with a public hearing. That revised map is to be posted on the County Board website for public review and comment. A new map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on May 9, 2023. That map is scheduled to be voted on by the County Board on June 13 or 27, 2023.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220118/dupage-county-misses-deadline-to-approve-new-precinct-maps
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Board members have missed a state-imposed deadline for redrawing election precinct maps. Election officials and county board members are now pointing fingers at each other, with the blown deadline also exposing a rift among Democrats. An elections omnibus bill signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in November gave county boards a 60-day deadline to set new boundaries so that each precinct would contain as close to 1,200 registered voters “as may be practicable.” The legislation also required precincts to sit within a single congressional and state legislative district whenever possible. Precinct boundaries determine polling places where voters cast in-person ballots. Democratic and Republican committeemen, the foot soldiers of local political parties, also are elected from precincts every two years. The DuPage County clerk’s office proposed a reconfiguration that would have expanded the size of precincts while reducing their overall number — from 930 to 607 — to comply with the law. But in a 10-6 vote last week the day before the Jan. 15 deadline, Republicans and some Democrats on the county board rejected the precinct maps drawn by the clerk’s office. Opponents in both parties objected to what they said was a lack of input in the precinct redistricting process. County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek and supporters say the decision could leave the county vulnerable to a lawsuit that would attempt to force the board to meet the requirements of state law. “The decision of some DuPage County Board members of both parties to openly defy state law and prioritize politics over voting rights is deeply disappointing. Precincts exist as an organizational unit for the benefit of the voters, not for politicians,” Kaczmarek, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, said in a statement. Election division employees in her office drafted new precinct boundaries “without political favoritism,” the statement read. The maps were released to county board members just days before they were supposed to vote. The proposed maps also were posted on the county’s website and “provided directly to the chairs of the DuPage County Democratic and Republican parties.” “The county board’s failure to align DuPage County’s election precincts with the boundaries of its representative districts will cause inconvenience and confusion for voters and increase the cost of elections for our taxpayers,” Kaczmarek said in the statement. Jim Zay, the board’s longest-serving member and chairman of the county Republican Party, said he had been asking the election division “from the end of November on” when officials would be able to see the maps. “And then finally, I was told you have to send an email to request to see them,” Zay said. GOP precinct committeemen weren’t happy with the proposal, Zay said. “You had a lot of long-term committeemen that have been there where two or three of them were now drawn into the same precinct,” he said. Lynn LaPlante, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, also expressed frustration with the “lack of communication.” Board member Grant Eckhoff issued his own statement voicing displeasure with both state lawmakers and Kaczmarek, saying officials refused “to be bullied into a bad vote by the garbage legislation coming out of Springfield.” “Due to the state legislature passing legislation to require an amended map in November instead of the spring, the clerk only had 60 days to prepare the map,” said Eckhoff, a Wheaton Republican. “The map was released to the DuPage County Board and the public just five days before a vote was to be taken on the map. “Unfortunately, prior to the release, the clerk did not meet with board members or make a presentation to discuss the map. This is not the manner in which legislation should be presented to the board or the public for review and comment.” But board member Liz Chaplin disputed the notion that some board members were blindsided by the legislation. In an October meeting attended by Republicans and Democrats, the county’s lobbyists told the board’s legislative committee about an effort in Springfield to increase the precinct size from 600 to at least 1,200 residents. “The county board in my opinion dropped the ball, and for the members to say that they didn’t know this was coming, I’m astounded,” Chaplin said. Chaplin voted in support of the maps along with fellow Democrats Dawn DeSart, Paula Deacon Garcia, Julie Renehan, Greg Schwarze and Mary Ozog. As part of the county’s legislative agenda, board members made a priority of “giving local election jurisdictions the flexibility to increase the size of election precincts,” Chaplin said. “In our last two years, in 2020 and 2021, that language was in our legislative agenda,” Chaplin said. “Now, I don’t know if my fellow colleagues don’t read their packets or understand what they’re voting on, but we absolutely did do that.” Having fewer precincts and fewer Election Day polling places would have resulted in a costs savings, said Chaplin, chair of the finance committee. The existing boundaries will now remain in place as other counties move forward with precinct redistricting. Primary elections will be held June 28.)

DUPAGE COUNTY
— Precinct Committeeperson (COMMENT: I should write a book about the 23+ years that I have served as the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Precinct Committeeman. I served as the Assistant Precinct Committeeman in 1998 and 1999. I was appointed as the Live-In-Precinct (LIP) Committeeman in 1999. I was elected Precinct Committeeman in 2000 and every 2 years since. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I served on annual Oktobefest fundraiser committees during the 2000s and ran straw polls during those events. I unsuccessfully ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. I have aways hand-delivered campaign literature and sample ballots to all the Republican homes in my precinct. Up until recently, I always gathered 30 signatures from the Republican voters in my precinct for all the Republican primary candidates. Since 1999, I have had by far the best MTRO meeting attendance record. I would focus on how the MTRO officers have treated me and how they have treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on how they treated my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019.)

A precinct committeeperson is elected to a two-year term in the even-year primary elections. Expectations of a precinct committeeperson: Represent the party’s voters at the county central committee convention to elect the county central chairman and its officers. The precinct committeeperson casts a total number of party votes, (weighted vote), as cast in the precinct at the recent primary election. Attend and become involved in the party’s Township meetings. Become a voter registrar and register all qualified constituents. Appoint and fill vacancies of election judges for the precinct polling place. Provide candidate and election information to the voters. Circulate petitions for candidates prior to the primary election. Become familiar with the elected officials and legislatures so the concerns of the voters can be passed on to them.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Leaders Rally Behind DeSantis as Trump Surges and Maintains an Impressive Double-Digit Lead Over FL Governor in Latest Polls (COMMENT: Leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO)are supposed to stay out of Republican primaries, but of course, they have not. I should write a book about that. I would focus on how they have favored/disfavored, helped/harmed, and/or promoted/destroyed Republican primary candidates. I would focus on how they have blamed conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen like me the most when their candidates lose elections. I would focus on those past and present IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders who have blamed their candidates’ losses the most a) on me since 2000; b) on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000; and c) on what I did as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.)

— FEBRUARY 13, 2023 FLASHBACK: March Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) Meeting Now Virtual: Is Don Tracy Afraid of the Grassroots or the Spread of COVID-19? (COMMENT: In his March 17, 2023 chairman’s memo, Tracy stated “The IRP is governed by the SCC which is in effect the Board of Directors for the IRP. Our 17 SCC Members (each individual representing a congressional district) were elected in the 2022 election primary and are all volunteers. This past week, we held our first SCC meeting in 2023.” In my March 6, 2023 GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter, I asked “What is the date of the March 2023 IRP SCC meeting? If it will be in person, where and at what time will it be? If it will be by Zoom, will Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains like me and others be allowed to watch/listen and/or to speak during the public comment period?” Even though I have been an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I never received answers to the aforesaid questions from anyone. Ever-increasingly, the IRP SCC dumps transparency, that is, dumps accountability.)

In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I earned an MBA from Loyola, and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.

— JUNE 1, 2013 FLASHBACK: Who Will Lead the Illinois Republican Party (IRP)? (COMMENT: BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF TRANSPARENCY: Dorgan won. I attended the June 1, 2013 IRP State Central Committee (SCC) meeting in Springfield at which each of the eight candidates had five minutes to sell themselves to members of the IRP SCC before it conducted closed door interviews. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-5-morning-edition-2/ and https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/chi-illinois-republican-gop-chairman-jack-dorgan-story.html and https://capitolfax.com/2013/05/ )
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/who-will-lead-the-illinoi_b_3536708
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the eight prospective candidates are three of the central committee’s own: Jack Dorgan of Rosemont, Chicago native Angel Garcia and Lake Forest attorney Mark Shaw. Other suitors include Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, Tea Party darling Joe Walsh, suburban conservative Jim Nalepa, former Illinois Lieutenant Governor hopeful Don Tracy and Chicago-based attorney Lori Yokoyama.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What if Democrat leaders in Illinois were like Republican leaders in Illinois? What if Democrat leaders in Illinois demonized, denigrated, and condemned liberal Democrats like Republican leaders in Illinois demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservative Republicans? What if Democrat leaders in Illinois demonized, denigrated, and condemned their liberal Democrat activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders like Republican leaders in Illinois demonize, denigrate, and condemn their conservative Republican activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders? I should write a book about that. I would focus on those Republican leaders in Illinois since 2000 who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against conservative Republican activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders. – Dave Diersen
