CHICAGO CRUSADER
— Democrats say that Bobby Rush encourages Chicagoans to cast their ballots for Mayor Lightfoot. I would not be surprised if Democrat Bobby Rush acknowledged that in 1997, when I was 49 years old, he forced my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors to force me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could replace me with my Black Democrat subordinate and give him my job and my preferred corner office. GAO works for Congress. Rush represented Chicago in Congress 1993-2023. Rush scores 97% by the NAACP on Affirmative Action (AA). Democrats use AA to replace Republicans with Democrats who are minority, female. and/or younger.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly push pot.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-cannabis-sales-dip-from-monthly-record/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marijuana sales come with a social risk. A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found instances in which children ingest cannabis are up 1,375%, which was blamed on edibles that look like candy and other treats to toddlers. Illinoisans pay the second-highest taxes in the nation to buy recreational marijuana, which pushes consumers to unregulated sellers. Illinois was recently rated the nation’s 8th-most sinful state, and state lawmakers like to impose sin taxes. But there would be less need to do so and more revenue available for public services were state lawmakers committed to reforming pension spending, which has increased by 584% since 2000. For reference, total spending has grown by 21% in that time. Instead of inventing new ways to tax Illinoisans and hoping for more sinful behaviors, lawmakers should look to the other side of the budget: spending. Revenue shortages will always be an issue when spending increases at an irresponsible and unsustainable rate.)

— Democrats say that DeSantis is preferred to Trump by nearly every key GOP demographic. What demographics a) do you share with both Trump and DeSantis, b) do you share with Trump only, c) do you share with DeSantis only, and d) do you share with neither Trump nor DeSantis? Trump and DeSantis and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, have master’s degrees, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Trump and I are about the same age, German American, Protestant, and draft avoiders. While Trump and DeSantis have degrees from Ivy League universities, I do not. While Trump and DeSantis have children, I have none. Trump has no professional certifications or licenses and DeSantis is an attorney. I have six professional certifications (CPA and Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant) and a professional license (CPA). While Trump and DeSantis have not been union members, I was one for almost 12 years. While Trump and DeSantis have been federal elected officials, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. DeSantis was a Congressman. GAO works for Congress, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. So far, Democrats and RINOs have succeeded in making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) far more than they have succeeding in making Trump and DeSantis pay the price of AA and DEI.

HUFFINGTON POST
— My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having evil motives and bad judgment. Those who are hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an operative/dupe for Trump. Because of that, they did everything that they could a) to stop me from getting press credentials to cover the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) to stop me from speaking with high-profile Republicans at that event, and c) to stop me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at that event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my motive for reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were is to put them on Trump’s hit list. But wait, we will probably never know a) who decided which high-profile Republicans were invited and which ones were not invited and why, b) which high-profile Republicans who were invited wanted to attend but could not, c) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, d) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, but could not, e) which high-profile Republicans who were invited but did not attend because they despise/hate Trump, DeSantis, and/or all conservatives, and f) which high-profile Republicans attended to demonstrate their hatred against Trump. High-profile Republicans include past and present a) U.S. Senators, U.S. Congressmen, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, statewide elected officials and candidates for the aforesaid offices, b) Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and DuPage County township party leaders, c) Illinois, DuPage County, township, and municipal leaders and candidates for the aforesaid offices, h) major donors, i) conservative leaders, and j) religious leaders.

GAO
— Tax Gap: Modest Reductions in the Gap Could Yield Large Fiscal Benefits (COMMENT: I worked for GAO for 3 years on IRS’s efforts to reduce the tax gap.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106448
(FROM THE POSTING: According to IRS estimates, taxpayers—people and businesses—collectively pay about 85% of the total taxes they owe. The difference between what taxpayers owe and what they pay on time is known as the tax gap, which IRS estimated to be $496 billion per year for tax years 2014-2016. In this snapshot, we identify factors—such as the complexity of tax laws—that contribute to the gap. We also offer strategies to reduce it. For instance, IRS should implement a way to digitize tax returns so that its tax enforcement programs can better identify noncompliant taxpayers, such as those who underreport income. Tax law enforcement is on our High-Risk List.)

PEW RESEARCH
— More Americans now see the media’s influence growing – JEFFREY GOTTFRIED AND NAOMI FORMAN-KATZ (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media spins its anti-conservatism as being news. Ever-increasingly in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, those who rely on the mainstream news media for government and/or for political news instead reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters simply parrot what the anti-conservative mainstream news media puts out. I should write a book about that.

https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2023/02/25/charlie-kirk-event-in-crystal-lake-sparks-protest-shouting-match/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kirk’s address was organized by the McHenry County GOPac, a local conservative political action committee. The event was titled “EXPOSING Radicals’ War on Kids” and was advertised as a summit aimed at “rescuing children from government-run schools that are ruining America’s future. Karen Tirio, the committee’s chair, said earlier in the week that school districts play a key role both in and out of the classroom and are “failing us.” She said she didn’t feel the event was partisan and hoped those attending walk away with tools to help them engage with the system. Tirio also sits on the elected McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees. Among a list of speakers, its biggest draw was Kirk, who grew up in Prospect Heights and founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which seeks to engage young conservatives on college campuses.)

I should write a book those who hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat GAO superiors were justified when they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and when they took all the other adverse actions against me that they did. I would focus on those who have known the most about me and my federal career for the longest time. They would include a) Republican U.S. Senators in Illinois, b) Republican U.S. Representatives in northeast Illinois, c) their staff members, d) their campaign managers, and e) candidates for the aforesaid offices. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The demographic profile of Stanford University’s class of 2026 is out, with 1,736 matriculated students in the freshman class of one of the world’s most prestigious universities. But as some perceptive critics were quick to notice, one key demographic is disproportionately underrepresented: While whites make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s adolescent population, per 2019 Office of Population Affairs numbers, they were only 22 percent of Stanford’s class of 2026.)

It does not look good for me because of those who could have and should have come to my defense, but did not come to my defense when the aforesaid conservative-haters ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004 and when the aforesaid conservative-haters a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. Nevertheless, I hope that the following would come to my defense: a) those Republicans who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect to offices in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois since 2000; b) the MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, and especially my representative on the IRP State Central Committee; c) conservative activists, conservative leaders, and conservative religious leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois; and d) those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

But sadly, not any more. Yes, my health is not as good now, I have less energy, and I have less motivation, but more than that, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates who lose primary elections and/or who lose general elections and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for candidate defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for candidate defeats. They do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

— Invitation (COMMENT: One could argue that because the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event was an “invitation-only” event, the following should be fully disclosed: a) who determined who was invited to attend and who was not invited to attend and why, b) which past and present Republican elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. who were invited did not attend and why, and c) who determined which reporters were invited to report on the event and who were not invited to report on the event and why. Since 2000, as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have reported on who attended many such events in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that no one should want to be listed in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter as having attended an event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are listed, that information will be viciously used against you. Immediately after my critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service, and my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, they deleted all my reports on who had attended TAPROOT, MTRO, and ICRC events. Do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am an operative/dupe for Trump and b) that Trump will destroy not only DeSantis, LaHood, and Hires, but that Trump will destroy each and every person that I listed as having attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. Further, do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if you attended the event, you are not only not afraid of Trump, but that you are a Trump-hater.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming to speak to Chicago FOP Monday in Elmhurst.” If/when the location of this event is publicly announced, will hundreds/thousands of DeSantis supporters and opponents come?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-desantis-coming-to-elmhurst-fop-20230216-pvj4zlc7effmhiufh4dozrqnum-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, exploring a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is scheduled to speak at an invite-only event Monday in Elmhurst to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police and potentially deliver some rhetorical political payback to Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The Presidents Day visit to a so-far undisclosed location in the Chicago area would represent an escalation of the feud between DeSantis and Pritzker, who has been the focus of some speculation as a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate if President Joe Biden does not seek to be nominated for a second term. In July, Pritzker was keynote speaker for a gathering of Florida Democrats in Tampa where he took aim at the Florida governor. Pritzker assailed DeSantis as “just Donald Trump with a mask on” and, more recently, has attacked the Republican’s policies blocking some teachings of racial and gay curriculum. In delivering his combined State of the State and budget address on Wednesday, though not mentioning DeSantis by name, Pritzker referred to a “virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship” and the right wing who are waging an “ideological battle” that serves to “marginalize people and ideas they don’t like.” In January, Pritzker wrote a letter to the College Board, asking it not to change the advanced placement African American Studies course “in order to fit Florida’s racist and homophobic laws.” The College Board earlier this month said it was revising the AP course to eliminate lessons on Black Lives Matter and the reparations movement. But after the DeSantis administration criticized the curriculum as left leaning and lacking “educational value,” the College Board said the criticism amounted to “slander.” That prompted DeSantis to suggest earlier this week that his state might drop AP classes from its schools. The DeSantis political operation did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons behind the Florida governor’s visit, which is open only to members of the law enforcement community. But a DeSantis speech to Chicago’s FOP Lodge 7, set for an undisclosed location in west suburban Elmhurst, would appear to be aimed at attacking Pritzker and Democrats over outbreaks of violent crime in the city as the mayoral election nears. An invitation to the event said the location would be disclosed to registrants “48 hours prior to the event.” John Catanzara, head of the Chicago police union, as well as the city and state FOP, endorsed Pritzker’s Republican opponent, Darren Bailey, in last year’s governor campaign.

PRITZKER
— Ron DeSantis’s dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois. Banning books, playing politics with people’s lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are. Every candidate hoping to hold public office in the land of Lincoln should condemn this event.

ELMHURST PATCH
— DeSantis Coming To Elmhurst: Chicago FOP. Chicago police officers have been invited to a “Back the Blue” event. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/desantis-coming-elmhurst-chicago-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to come to Elmhurst on Monday, according to the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police. On Thursday, the organization invited members to see the Republican governor at a yet-to-be-disclosed site in Elmhurst. Doors are set to open at 3:30 p.m. According to the invitation, the location will be revealed 48 hours before the “Back the Blue” event. The invitation said DeSantis would speak about law enforcement. Patch obtained the invitation Thursday afternoon. Organizers apparently did not want to alert the media at this point. The Florida governor’s office referred questions to the Florida Republican Party. Patch left an emailed message for comment with a GOP spokeswoman. At the event, active and retired officers are allowed to attend, but not their spouses. In a message to Patch, Mayor Scott Levin said he had heard DeSantis was coming to town. “I have no confirmed location, but I assume and hope that before Monday, they will coordinate with the city, if there’s a large turnout expected,” the mayor said. DeSantis has called Florida the state “where woke goes to die.” He is widely considered to be running for president. He was once seen as an ally of former President Donald Trump. But Trump has criticized DeSantis over the last few months, most recently calling him “Meatball Ron.”)

POLITICO
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis joins wild ride to City Hall.” I should write a book about hate-filled Trump-hating Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who blacklist me because I refuse to blacklist Trump. The aforesaid blacklisters want the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct to blacklist me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/02/17/desantis-joins-wild-ride-to-city-hall-00083413
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nasty campaign ads are reaching a fever pitch in the Chicago mayor’s race, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and chameleon Congressman George Santos have emerged as foils to attack Paul Vallas. DeSantis is coming to suburban Elmhurst on Monday to talk to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police in a hush-hush meeting. And Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is using the visit to attack Paul Vallas, who’s been endorsed by the FOP. “Paul Vallas must condemn the FOP for inviting Ron DeSantis, a dangerous and xenophobic authoritarian to our state,” Garcia said in a statement.)

I should write a book about that. I would focus on the biggest adverse actions that the MTRO, the DCRCC, and the IRP have taken against me since 2000.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “CNN’s Don Lemon Says Nikki Haley Is Past Her ‘Prime’ At 51—Here’s What Research Says.” When are people “in their prime?” According to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, people are “in their prime” when they are their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and if they are not extremely successful by the time they are 40, they are failures. It is called age discrimination. I should write a book about that.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/02/16/cnns-don-lemon-says-nikki-haley-is-past-her-prime-at-51-heres-what-research-says/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One research study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly found that the 50s is a woman’s prime of life, indicating that Haley is indeed in her prime. Better health, empty nests and higher income distinguished the 50s from the earlier and later periods of life for women. Women in their 50s also showed greater confidence, involvement and breadth of personality. Since the CNN discussion surrounded politics, a candidate’s prime may be defined by voter preferences. Again, Haley appears to be in her prime. One telling study found that male and female candidates in their 40s and 50s are preferred over candidates in their 30s, 60s and 70s. The researchers did not study candidates in their 80s. When it comes to cognitive and creative ability, yet another study suggests the 50s decade may be the prime time for some. The study examined 31 Nobel Prize winners in economics to determine when they made their most significant contributions. Those whose work was more conceptual peaked at age 25, but those whose work was more experimental peaked in their mid-50s. To be fair, some cognitive abilities peak at a younger age. Speed in processing information peaks at age 18 or 19, and short-term memory starts to drop off at around age 25. However, other abilities, like evaluating other people’s emotional states, peak in our 40s and 50s. In addition, wisdom, which refers to a deep understanding of different aspects of life, also peaks in midlife. Perhaps when Lemon referred to Haley not being in her prime, he was referring to her fertility or physical strength. In this case, he’d be correct. The peak for both men and women is much younger for these areas. Both men’s and women’s fertility starts to decline in their mid-30s, but women’s fertility declines much more rapidly than men’s. When it comes to muscle mass, physical strength and flexibility, men and women peak in their late 20s to early 30s. But none of these skills are required for a nation’s leader. Lemon’s comment is not just offensive because of Haley’s relatively young age but because women are devalued more than men as they age. When women’s bodies are no longer functioning at their peak and women are past their reproductive age, women are thought to be past their prime. This doesn’t happen to men in their fifties. Lemon cited Google as his source for women’s prime, suggesting the search engine would back up his assertions, “If you Google ‘when is a woman in her prime?’” Ironically, a Google search on that question now reveals news about Don Lemon’s comment. Whether or not you appreciate Nikki Haley’s politics, it’s tough to argue that she isn’t in her prime as a presidential candidate.)

— GAO wants to find out just how much taxpayer money is lost to fraud at the federal level. – Brett Rowland (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. Gene Dodaro ( https://www.gao.gov/about/comptroller-general/biography ) was one of them. Those Democrats wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. While I worked for GAO, I became a Licensed CPA and a Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. Previously, while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I became a CPA.)

I am one of the only seven AAPC members in Illinois and I am one of the only two members who work only for Republicans. GAO works for Congress. Much of what GAO does is consulting. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: State records show that Dan Proft’s People Who Play by the Rules PAC spent almost $36 million during the second half of 2022, mostly on advertising boosting Sen. Darren Bailey’s gubernatorial bid and opposing Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Of that, $2.4 million was spent on consulting. Former ABC7 political reporter Charles Thomas was paid $100,000 in two $50,000 installments. Thomas appeared in some of Proft’s ads praising Bailey. Tyrone Muhammed, the controversial founder of Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change, which bills itself as a violence interruption group, was paid $250,000 for consulting work. Proft’s Starfish Consulting was also a recipient of almost $535K. But the highest paid consultant for Proft’s PAC during the last six months of 2022 was a Chicago company called Salvo Page LLC, which got $800,000, plus another $111K for website services. Salvo Page is not registered as a company with the state of Illinois. The only campaign payments to the company disclosed to the state were made by Proft’s People Who Play by the Rules PAC. Google searches turn up nothing. Proft did not respond to repeated requests for comment over several days. A search of Salvo Page’s Chicago address on the State Board of Election’s website turned up a clue. Salvo Page shares a Chicago street address with Pipeline Media. The Columbia Journalism Review’s Tow Center has done extensive reporting on Pipeline and similar companies. According to that reporting, the company is run by Brian Timpone, a longtime Proft associate. I wasn’t able to reach Timpone. Richard Uihlein, who was the principal funder of Bailey’s campaign via Proft’s PAC as well as some direct contributions, controls a committee called Restoration PAC, which paid Pipeline and an affiliate company well over a million dollars last year for various services, CJR’s Tow Center reported last October. And that brings us to Republican Illinois attorney general candidate Tom DeVore. When DeVore busted the campaign contribution caps in his race last August with a $250,000 personal loan to his campaign committee, some thought he might be opening the door to large contributions, perhaps from the billionaire Richard Uihlein. Instead, all DeVore really did was allow Democratic incumbent Kwame Raoul to take a million-dollar contribution from Gov. Pritzker’s campaign fund – $940,100 more than Pritzker could’ve contributed had the contribution caps been in place. A few labor organizations also contributed sums slightly above the previous cap limit of $59,900, but it wasn’t much. DeVore received a $10,000 contribution from James Hoeg in late October, which was $4,000 more than he would’ve been able to receive had it not been for the caps being lifted (Hoeg, by the way, recently contributed $50,000 to Paul Vallas’ Chicago mayoral campaign). DeVore also received a $50,000 contribution in late September from the Anthony Marano Company (which sells produce to Chicago-area restaurants). The contribution was $38,000 above the by-then-negated limit. And that’s it. $42K is all DeVore appears to have netted from his cap-busting loan. There’s often an expectation when candidates loan money to their campaigns that they’ll spend most of it. Instead, DeVore reimbursed himself almost all of that cash, including a $200,000 payment on October 14, even though the campaign was entering its final few weeks, and then another $15,000 the day after election day. DeVore reported $226,072 in contributions starting the day after he loaned himself that money, which was just about $11,000 more than what DeVore reimbursed himself. Outside of the loan repayment, DeVore reported spending less than $142,000 in the fourth quarter, which ended December 31. By contrast, AG Raoul reported spending almost $1.9 million in the same quarter. DeVore spent just $8,642.98 on advertising during the fourth quarter. Raoul reported spending almost $1.7 million. In other words, DeVore did not run a campaign designed to win. But we pretty much knew that during the campaign itself. He got thumped by Raoul. DeVore did manage to elevate and give voice to some folks on the far right. Shannon Adcock was a significant DeVore contributor, kicking in $2,500 during September. Adcock is one of the founders of Awake Illinois, a far-right group that opposed pandemic mandates in schools that has since morphed into firing up moral panic over gays and trans people in schools, libraries and coffee shops. Vallas spoke at one of her events. DeVore is now busily lining up clients to fund a third lawsuit against the state’s assault weapons ban at $200 a person. He raised more than half a million dollars with that same flat fee to fund his first two suits.)

Soon, the more White that you are, Democrats and RINOs will stop you from getting an education, getting and keeping jobs, owning vehicles and real estate, etc. They will start with Whites who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, male, older, gun-owners, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, replacement theory, and even worse things. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/what-would-2024-look-like-for-democrats-if-biden-retired.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2024 primary field could be even more crowded than it was four years earlier. There are several major Democratic officeholders thought to be waiting for the right moment to run for president. If Biden doesn’t run, that moment might arrive early for three governors: California’s Gavin Newsom, Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker, and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer. The first two governors have vast resources at their disposal, while the third checks an awful lot of boxes for Democrats valuing electability above all else.)

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL
— FROM THE ARTICLE: “Pick one thing to focus on for the rest of your life!” What did you focus on in the past and what are you focusing on now? When I was young, I focused on a) making myself a productive member of society and b) making the most of my potential. I earned college degrees (NIU, B.S., management, 1970; Loyola, MBA, 1976; DePaul, M.S., accounting; 1980; and IIT, M.S., financial markets and trading, 1997), professional certifications (CPA, 1979; Certified Internal Auditor, 1981; Certified Fraud Examiner, 1990; Certified Government Financial Manager, 1994; Certified Financial Services Auditor, 1996; and Forensic Accountant, 1997), and a professional license (CPA, 1981). But the aforesaid all came crashing down in 1997 when I was 49 years old and my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in making me take their early retirement “offer.” Starting in 2000, I have focused on helping elect Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as the webmaster for the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, and the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. But ever-increasing, my efforts to help elect Republican on ballots in my precinct is crashing down. Ever-increasingly, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and MTRO leaders and Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct treat me like they blame me and blame what I have done to help elect them for their defeats. Ever-increasing, Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct act like they do not want me to help elect them. Most commonly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “too conservative.” Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I share too many demographics with Trump and that my demographics are bad: conservative, Republican, White, male, old (74), draft-avoider, gun-owner, heterosexual, married, childless, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, someone who was forced into early retirement when they were 49 years old, someone who has filed lawsuits, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. If you were me, what would you do about the aforesaid?

CAMPAIGN SCHOOL
— 10 Main Reasons Why Candidates Lose Elections – Brian Floyd (COMMENT: I should write a book about why Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have lost elections since 2000. Of course, I would focus on those candidates who have blamed their losses a) on me since 2000, b) on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, c) on my raising funds from them to help sponsor Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, d) on what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) on what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) on my supporting their opponents in primary and/or nonpartisan elections. I would focus on candidates who lost U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Illinois statewide, Illinois Senate, Illinois House, DuPage countywide, DuPage 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton citywide, Wheaton West District, and judicial races. I would focus on their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect since 2000, but who then have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for their losses.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/immigration-reform-group-calls-on-mccarthy-to-get-border-security-bill-onto-house-floor_5035800.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Until we have a mandatory workforce verification system–like E-Verify–in place, immigrants will have an incentive to come into our country through illegal means. We want and need immigrants to come to our nation to contribute to our economic success, but we must also remain a sovereign nation governed by the rule of law.” Chmielenski said Calvert’s proposed Legal Workforce Act has “actually been endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, and National Home Builders Association. These are organizations that tend to oppose additional mandates on employers.” Right now, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 22 states impose some form of “mandatory E-Verify rather than just requiring I-9,” he said, which puts the onus on employers to “become document experts. E-Verify is a touchy subject in the states but [mandatory E-Verify] would replace a patchwork of laws from state-to-state and go a long way” to addressing the nation’s immigration issues.)

NORTHERN STAR
— COMMENT: Democrat say “Student Government Association proposed petition criticizes NIU’s efforts at inclusion.” NIU let me transfer from UIC in 1969 when I was 20 years old, but because of my bad demographics, if I was 20 years old today, I doubt that NIU would let me do that today. I am White, male, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, non-poor, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Factors that encouraged NIU to let me transfer included I was a federal employee (Park Forest Post Office), a union member, draft avoider, and I had not been active in Republican politics at Crete-Monee High School or at UIC.
https://northernstar.info/103019/news/sga-petition-criticizes-nius-efforts-at-inclusion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid growing concerns of what it’s calling NIU’s inactivity toward racism and lack of diversity on campus, the Student Government Association has proposed a petition to shed light on student concerns. The proposed petition was co-authored by Historian Atlas Babcock and Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Olivia Newman and was developed in collaboration with feedback from Black student organizations on campus. The petition proposed highlights three issues with the university raised by students: “A lack of diversity and representation in campus staff and administration,” “performative activism” and “lack of long-term community support.” Among examples of student complaints are over-policing at Black events, a lack of Black representation among administration and staff, failure to provide upkeep to the BLM mural and more. Much of the discussion around the proposed petition centered on the university’s handling of inclusion in the past and what the SGA wants NIU to do going forward.)

DAILY EASTERN NEWS
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs attribute all the successes that White males have to their benefitting from discrimination against minorities and against females. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger. If I had been a Democrat a minority and/or a female, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, long before I was 40 in 1988. 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. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. Because I was not a Democrat, a minority, or a female, a) IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, Step 5, currently $104,583/year, and b) GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, did not promote me beyond GS-13 Step 1, currently $109,732/year, until I was 38, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would cite my many Democrat coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional license.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Biden faced GOP jeers.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/07/takeaways-state-of-the-union/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. A jeer-filled affair It’s been 14 years since a Republican member of Congress appeared to cross a threshold by yelling “You lie” at Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress. Tuesday’s speech marked the continued trend toward partisan raucousness during what was once a much more staid affair. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), perhaps predictably, repeated Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) outburst from 2009 when Biden brought up Medicare and Social Security. (It’s worth noting that Biden qualified his comments about Republican support for Scott’s plan by emphasizing: “I’m not saying it’s a majority,” but he was jeered anyway. McCarthy shook his head while seated behind Biden.) Biden responded to all this by suggesting it was an important moment, with Republicans so loudly taking issue with the idea that they would target entitlements: “I’m glad to see — you know, I enjoy conversion. When Biden brought up fentanyl deaths, he was met with a response of: “It’s your fault!” Republicans also took exception to his comments about other issues, including gun control and the border. The latter instance elicited a notable response from McCarthy: While he sat stone-faced for much of the speech, the GOP outcry drew a demonstrative blink from the House speaker, who shushed his conference. McCarthy earlier Tuesday had promised no “childish” games, specifically citing then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) having ripped up a copy of Trump’s speech after the 2020 State of the Union address. And as the speech wore on, we got a sense for why, perhaps, it got so contentious. In contrast to McCarthy’s shushing, Trump on Truth Social attacked “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — party members for “jumping up and down with applause for the wrong reasons!”)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Illinois CPA Society Accepting Scholarship Applications.” If you did not get college scholarships, why was that?

Further, sports scholarships were out because while I could stand and walk, I could not run far at all because of a bone disease that I had.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is much less affordable than the other Midwest states,” Gonzalez told The Center Square. “In general, it costs more to retire in Illinois than it does in most other states in the country.” Despite Illinois not taxing retirement income, general tax policy and lack of taxpayer friendliness were the main factors in Illinois’ low ranking, Gonzalez said. “Taxes are a huge part of why Illinois loses out to other states like Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Nebraska,” she said. “Special tax breaks for seniors and tax policy for retirement income just aren’t there in Illinois.” High sales taxes, high property taxes and high inheritance taxes are among the main reasons why Illinois came in 47th for affordability, she said.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/policy/immigration/biden-administration-forced-border-officials-to-release-six-hundred-thousand-illegal-immigrants
— FROM THE ARTICLE: The most egregious gun control policy is the new Illinois gun law that bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. The law allows people who owned assault weapons or high-capacity magazines before the law was passed to keep them — but only if they register their weapons with the Illinois State Police. This law is unconstitutional and violates both the Second and Fifth Amendments. Fortunately, a judge in Illinois has issued a temporary restraining order , preventing the implementation of the law — but only for the plaintiffs of the case that were before the judge.

— Race Everywhere in Today’s America – Victor Davis Hanson
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/03/race-everywhere-in-todays-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In sum, class, not race, remains the best litmus test of being underprivileged in America. It is no longer synonymous with race. No wonder the identity politics industry now strains to attach prefixes such as “systemic” or “implicit” to “racism,” or “micro” to “aggression,” purportedly to ferret out bias that otherwise is not apparent. Pause to reflect that America is the only successful multiracial constitutional republic in history. To survive in an increasingly dysfunctional and hostile world abroad, the unique idea of the United States requires concord. But national cohesion is only possible through citizens subordinating their tribal interests to a common culture. Only then do they cease being automatons of warring tribes and collectives. As the world becomes ever scarier, Americans must—as Benjamin Franklin once warned—hang together, or most certainly they will soon all hang separately.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats join up with America’s enemies to win their Second Civil War and get rid of Republicans once and for all. What if in 1861, Mexico had officially joined with the Confederacy to defeat America? To Mexico’s credit, it abolished slavery in 1829.)

McCarthy pointed out that slavery, defended by Southern Democrats, was the issue that brought about the Civil War.

He suggested that the statues remind the Democratic Party’s true history. “If I was a Democrat, I wouldn’t be proud of their legacy, I wouldn’t be proud of their history, and I would want to change it, ” said McCarthy. “There’s not one Republican you have to take down.”)

They had a) thrown me off audits of IRS, b) given me an adverse job assignment, c) given me unfair performance expectations, d) turned my subordinates against me, e) given me an unfair performance appraisal, and f) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. Previously, they had a) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, b) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and c) forced me to take a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, to GS-9 Step 10. After Hyde came to my defense, my Democrat GAO superiors’ retaliation against me diminished somewhat. But eight years later, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”

I earned job-related college degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. I always spent far less on immediate pleasures than my peers. Instead of renting, I bought a new town home in 1972 and condos in 1974 and 1976. My wife and I got married in 1978. We both worked, but in anticipation of having children, we spent money like we had only one paycheck. We always saved as much as we could for our retirement. Instead of renting, we bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. But according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I got ahead financially, because I avoided the draft. Because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, renters, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Because the federal government grossly overpaid me. Because of my wife’s income. Because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. Because my federal pension and health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies are far too generous. What do you think?)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Mendrick: ‘If they’ll treat your duly elected sheriff of this county that way, just think how they’ll treat you’
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/639176461-mendrick-if-they-ll-treat-your-duly-elected-sheriff-of-this-county-that-way-just-think-how-they-ll-treat-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick said U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (R-IL) “got nasty” with him in a phone call after he said he would not enforce the state’s gun ban. Mendrick is one of around 95 sheriffs who said they won’t enforce the ban involving over 170 types of firearms and millions of guns statewide. The law was ruled unconstitutional in a downstate court and is expected to see the same fate in other courts. “My voters had asked me to put out a statement on my opinion of what I’ll be doing on this and the way the law was written. It did nothing on enforcement,” Mendrick told Chicago’s Morning Answer radio host Dan Proft. “We all know if you don’t put who’s responsible, enforcing the law, that it’s going to be an unfunded mandate down at the end of the year. That’s just how this works every time. And I couldn’t get anybody to tell me yes or no. Will we be expected to enforce this? Until I got a call from Sean Casten, congressman, who told me that if I was willing to go to a house filled with Molotov cocktails, I should have no problem going to people’s doors for this law.” Proft pointed out Casten, a Democrat, had suggested Mendrick resign. “And he called on you to resign,” Proft said. “Yeah, to resign. ‘Recall,’ I think he said there’s something like that. He told me on the phone to I have no First Amendment right as a sheriff. And I really thought that was odd, to see the shock and horror of a politician when they don’t get their way or when somebody challenges them, simply because before you even started the conversation of is this right or wrong,” Mendrick said. Mendrick added that when he pushed backed against Casten the congressman “got nasty.” “Well, it got worse, he said some other things I’m not going to divulge just because he really got nasty with me,” Mendrick said. Mendrick added that the lack of respect for another elected official had him question how Casten treats ordinary Illinoisans. “But think about it, if they’ll treat your duly elected sheriff of this county that way, just think how they’ll treat you,” Mendrick said. “I mean, I couldn’t believe it. I live in the definition of a hostile work environment, political intimidation.” Casten was one of five other Democrats in Illinois’ congressional delegation who penned a letter against Mendrick. Casten took to extreme language in his characterization of the decision by Mendrick and around 95% of the state’s sheriffs to not enforce the law saying the sheriff’s “actions are going to make future mass shootings more likely.” Mendrick answered Casten’s accusations in a statement. “There is absolutely nothing that we are doing or not doing that would make a mass shooting more accessible in DuPage County,” Mendrick said. “In fact, I have asked on multiple occasions to increase penalties on all existing gun crimes, but it does not appear that they want to have that conversation.” Mendrick was clear in his rebuke of the law after its signing in early January. “I, among many others, believe that HB 5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution,” Mendrick said. “Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement official for DuPage County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing law-abiding individuals that have been arrested solely with non-compliance of this Act.” He has since become a focal point of angry Democrats seeking to impose their will on local law enforcement. Political organizer Jeanne Ives, a former state representative and former gubernatorial and congressional candidate, was one of hundreds who packed into the DuPage county Board chambers in a Jan. 24 meeting. “I stand in support of Sheriff Mendrick. He has done an outstanding job keeping our communities safe. He has also worked very hard in turning around the lives of those incarcerated in his jail,” Ives said in statement.)

DAILY HERALD
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Clarity and common sense casualties of DuPage debate over new gun ban.” DuPage County Democrat elected officials and party leaders have come out strongly against the Second Amendment, in favor of the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA), and against Mendirick. DuPage County Republican elected officials and party leaders should come out strongly in favor of the Second Amendment, in opposition to PICA ,and in support of Mendrick.
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20230201/daily-herald-opinion-clarity-and-common-sense-casualties-of-dupage-debate-over-new-gun-ban
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The back and forth between Du­Page County Sheriff James Mendrick and county officials upset about his stance on Illinois’ new high-powered weapons ban turned into quite the political soap opera this month, complete with press conferences, protests, TV appearances and, finally, some sort of consensus after Mendrick met with DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and County Board Chair Deb Conroy Monday. Come Tuesday morning, however, Mendrick had this to say: “Don’t listen to the media,” his statement starts out. “I was not threatened to be censured or anything else during this meeting. The meeting that I had with State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and County Board Chair … Conroy yesterday was the first day three tiers of government came together in discussion on this topic.” First, a little context — and clarity. “This topic,” of course, is the sheriff’s initial refusal to enforce a provision of the new law requiring current owners of high-powered weapons to register them with the state. The meeting he refers to ended with an agreement that he would enforce the law after clarification that the ban does not mandate deputies go door to door checking on compliance. And while Monday’s meeting may not have mentioned censure, it was followed by a joint statement in which Conroy says she will not seek censure — an idea raised at an earlier public meeting and elsewhere. Mendrick’s statement then assures gun owners that sheriff’s deputies would not be showing up at the homes of “law-abiding residents to harass them over gun registration.” “We will not be sending deputies out proactively to take your lawfully owned guns,” he went on. “Please remove that stressor from your lives.” We would argue that Mendrick and others created “that stressor.” Officials have every right to question how they will be expected to enforce the law, but they jumped all too quickly to conclusions and, in some cases, distortions. While lawmakers have made clear that house-to-house inspections are not expected, opponents continue to stoke fears. Earlier this month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker called the refusal of many Illinois sheriffs to enforce the law “political grandstanding at its worst.” We have come to agree. Just look to McHenry County, where the partisanship is so strong Republicans have called for the county to become a gun sanctuary. In DuPage, Mendrick refused to answer calls from local reporters on his stance. He did not appear before the county board. But he was more than happy to share his concerns with like-minded listeners on AM 560’s “Black and Right” radio program and on Fox News’ “America Reports.” It’s a big step forward that Mendrick has agreed to enforce the law. Other dissenting sheriffs should follow suit. But let’s not forget: That was their job in the first place.)

NORTHWEST HERALD
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Nearly 40 residents speak about McHenry County resolution denouncing state gun ban. Resolution will move to full board despite concerns about ‘inflammatory’ language.” What are the Republican leaders of your county doing to make your county a gun sanctuary?
https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2023/01/31/nearly-40-residents-speak-about-mchenry-county-resolution-denouncing-state-gun-ban/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A resolution opposing the new Illinois gun ban is set to be considered by the McHenry County Board, but changes to the measure are almost certain to come, officials said. The resolution, which would affirm McHenry County’s stance against House Bill 5471, would not make the county a gun sanctuary as some have pushed for, but does denounce the new law, calling it unconstitutional and a violation of the Second Amendment. At the county’s Law and Government Committee meeting on Tuesday, more than 100 residents showed up, with nearly 40 of them speaking. As has been the case with previous meetings where this topic was discussed, those who spoke were divided on the topic. The resolution did not get enough votes on Tuesday to be recommended as written, with the committee split in a 3-3 vote. However, the resolution will still move on to the full County Board where it will be considered in a part of the agenda that will open it up for more discussion instead of the consent agenda where items are voted en masse and typically without discussion. The gun ban, passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker in early January, bans more than 100 different guns from being purchased, most of which are semi-automatic rifles, along with different attachments and caps the amount of ammunition certain guns can have. It also creates a requirement that owners of the newly banned guns eventually register them with the Illinois State Police. . .In addition to the resolution being considered, McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally has filed a lawsuit seeking to declare the law unconstitutional. Other lawsuits throughout the state – including one with a McHenry County gun shop on board – seek similar outcomes. Tuesday’s meeting also follows a statement by McHenry County Sheriff Robb Tadelman saying neither he or other deputies would enforce the registration provision of the bill. He joined roughly 80 other sheriffs in Illinois in making the declaration.)

— If your parents are/were Republicans, why is/was that? My outstanding father died in 1969 and my outstanding mother died in 2016. They were always Republican a) because Republicans ended slavery, b) because Republicans promoted conservatism, c) because Republicans promoted individual responsibility, d) because Republicans promoted traditional marriage/family, e) because Republicans promoted right to life, f) because Republicans promoted enforcement of immigration laws, g) because Republicans enforced illegal drug laws, h) because Republicans defended Second Amendment rights, and i) because Republicans promoted equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). My father and my mother saw how my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors treated me 1966-1969. My mother saw how my Democrat IRS superiors treated me 1974-1980. My mother saw how my Democrat GAO superiors treated me 1980-1997. – Dave Diersen

DUPAGE COUNTY
— Joint Statement on DuPage County Public Safety (QUESTIONS: DuPage County has the second most residents of Illinois’ 102 counties. It has more residents than five states and the District of Columbia. What do the 80 Illinois County Sheriffs who object to the Protect Illinois Communities Act  (PICA) have to say about this? Have any of them been threatened with censure like Mendrick has been? So far, exactly what has Pritzker demanded that Illinois County Sheriffs do to implement the PICA? What will Pritzker demand that they do to implement the act? How do Illinois residents become “licensed” to own an assault weapon? Is it by having a FOID card? If Illinois residents become licensed to own assault weapons by having a FOID card, what about those in DuPage County who have assault weapons but do not have a FOID card? Has/will Pritzker demanded/demand that Illinois County Sheriffs go door to door seeking to remove assault weapons from them? What if Pritzker gives Mendrick a list of residences in DuPage County that have assault weapons in them but no one living there has a FOID card? What if Pritzker demands that Mendrick go to those doors seeking to remove those assault weapons? Has/will Pritzker demanded/demand that after January 1, 2024, Illinois County Sheriffs go door to door seeking to remove assault weapons from those who have failed/refused to register them in their county?)
https://www.dupagecounty.gov/Content.aspx?id=67541
(THE STATEMENT: Statement attributable to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, and DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin: “DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, Sheriff James Mendrick, and State’s Attorney Robert Berlin engaged in a meaningful conversation during which they discussed their shared commitment to the safety of DuPage County residents. The conversation also included discussion of Illinois’ new assault weapons ban, known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act. Enforcement of this law does not demand that deputies go door to door seeking to remove weapons from those licensed to own them. With this understanding, Sheriff Mendrick is committed to enforcing all state and local laws. Chair Conroy is committed to supporting the Sheriff’s Office in maintaining safe communities within DuPage County and sees no reason to pursue a censure resolution at this time. All parties look forward to positive, productive collaboration on important initiatives that will keep DuPage residents safe and ensure the security of our communities moving forward.”)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Illinois State Police enforcing state’s gun ban, reveal one case under investigation – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Exactly what has Pritzker demanded that your County Sheriff do to enforce the Protect Illinois Communities Act? Is your County Sheriff complying with those demands? For example, what if someone in your county continues to sell assault weapons to residents of Illinois and Pritzker demands that your County Sheriff stop them?)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/illinois-state-police-enforcing-state-s-gun-ban-reveal-one-case-under-investigation/article_6462dc04-a0f0-11ed-a9d5-d30cb6d205bd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Police say they took enforcement action against a business for openly advertising the sale of newly banned weapons, but no additional information was provided. In a YouTube video Friday, gun-rights advocate Todd Vandermyde revealed he’d been told that the state is taking actions to enforce the state’s ban on certain semiautomatic guns and magazines. “It appears that there was a gun shop that was selling stuff, post the enactment,” Vandermyde said after sharing an anonymous tip that state police confiscated weapons from an individual. Monday, a spokesperson for Illinois State Police confirmed in a statement to The Center Square that ISP took enforcement action earlier this month against a business for “openly advertising the sale of banned weapons.” The statement said the investigation is ongoing and additional information wasn’t immediately available. Vandermyde cautioned what he sees transpiring. Cook County Sheriff “Tom Dart and everybody can say there aren’t going to be house-to-house searches, I would beg to differ with you, sheriff,” Vandermyde said. While Dart has said they will enforce the gun ban, most of the state’s 102 sheriffs have said they won’t. ISP said Monday state police are “charged with upholding all state laws, including enforcement of businesses that openly violate current laws.” The law is being challenged in several state and federal judicial circuits. In McHenry County Monday, a motion was made to move its gun-ban challenge from state court to federal court. In several separate pending federal cases, ISP made a motion to consolidate into a Crawford County case last week. Chief U.S. District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel, an Obama appointee, reassigned two of those cases to Stephen McGlynn, a Trump-appointed judge. “The action arises out of the same facts and is closely related to [the Illinois State Rifle Association’s] Harrel, et al. v. Raoul … which was filed before this action and is assigned to District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn,” Rosenstengel said. The Crawford County case Langley v. Kelly was the first lawsuit filed against Illinois’ gun ban in state court, but it was transferred to federal court after the ISRA case was filed in federal court with a judge assigned. ISRA’s Ed Sullivan said while there are several independent cases in Illinois courts alleging individuals’ Second Amendment rights are being infringed, “we also have to keep an eye on the price elsewhere as well,” including a Second Amendment case filed in Maryland. “Because what happens elsewhere certainly can influence what happens here, so I think Maryland is the most obvious target for us to keep an eye out,” Sullivan told The Center Square. In that Maryland case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit heard oral arguments Dec. 6. It’s unclear when a ruling would be rendered. Still pending in Illinois federal court is a ruling on a TRO in the challenge of Naperville’s gun ban. The judge in that case Monday notified the state that it is also a defendant after plaintiffs expanded their challenge last week. In a separate state challenge last week, state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, filed a lawsuit against the state’s gun ban. Caulkins is the lead plaintiff with a new association called Law-Abiding Gun Owners of Macon County. Attorney Thomas DeVore filed to intervene, claiming he has clients that don’t want to be part of a group he said may not stand legal scrutiny. “Dan is trying to take the position that my clients are members of an association that they never heard of and they never agreed to join and that could place some risk on them,” DeVore told The Center Square. “The attorney general might want to start deposing them.” DeVore filed an Effingham County challenge on behalf of 866 named plaintiffs. It is pending an appellate court decision of a lower court’s temporary restraining order blocking the law. A ruling on a TRO is pending in a White County case where DeVore represents nearly 1,700 named plaintiffs. Caulkins’ attorney Jerry Stock labeled DeVore’s filing as a “side show.” Stock argued he doesn’t need hundreds of plaintiffs in a case to prove the law is unconstitutional. “There was no way I was going to attempt to represent hundreds of clients when the remedy sought is a judgment, not the temporary time out,” Stock told The Center Square. “While we’ll seek that on this path, the real goal was to knock this legislation out. I thought that my firm taking a fee based on the volume of clients was not something I could be comfortable with ethically.” Stock said he wasn’t casting aspersions and people can hire any attorney they want, but he “very strongly disagrees” with DeVore’s approach. “I think it’s a far more liberal way of pursuing the claims,” Stock said. “And not having to implicate every individual gun owner or to charge every individual gun owner a fee, because it just was not necessary.” A hearing in Caulkins’ case is set for Friday in Macon County.)

NORTHWEST HERALD
— The gun ban law won’t protect us from criminals – Randy Illg, Union
https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2023/01/30/letter-the-gun-ban-law-wont-protect-us-from-criminals/
(FROM THE LETTER: The supposed intent of the gun ban law is to make us all safe. After the governor signed it, did you feel safer? Did you sleep better last night? The actual intent of the ban is to remove all small arms from civilian ownership. The Second Amendment deals with this because the men who wrote it understood that a defenseless citizenry is the breeding ground for dictators to take control. Law enforcement personnel, from the lowest rank to the state attorney, make value judgments every day. If they didn’t, every one of us would be driving 45 mph in a 45 mph speed zone, and every arrest would automatically result in prosecution. Why didn’t you cry foul when cities decided to become sanctuary cities for illegal aliens? Where was your outrage then? If you believe that this law will make us safer, you are mistaken. Criminals do not respect the law. Why don’t you call the governor of California and ask him how gun control is working for them? Criminals do not get FOID cards. They don’t go through the same training and licensing process as law-abiding citizens. Criminals don’t care about anyone but themselves. The only thing that will stop a criminal threat to your life is force. Once you understand this, you will do the right thing, arm yourself, and join those of us who are willing to stand up for what is right. Sleep tight.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “RNC throws Ye under the bus with resolution ‘condemning’ antisemitism.” To paint me as being as being an antisemite and to get my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take adverse actions against me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government stressed a) that I was conservative, b) that I was Republican, c) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, d) that I was 100% German national origin, e) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and f) that I lived in Wheaton since 1978. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

The bill also requires prospective gun buyers to apply directly to a state or local law enforcement agency to obtain a purchase permit prior to approaching any seller. House Bill 1240 bans “assault weapons,” defined in the legislation as a category of semi-automatic rifles that fit certain criteria like being shorter than 30 inches in length and the ability to accept a detachable magazine.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Recent infighting raises the question” and ask “How conservative is the GOP?” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I should write a book about anti-conservative and conservative-hating leaders of the following who have a) rejected the most planks in the Republican Party platform and/or b) done the most to destroy the following: a) Illinois Republican Party, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and c) Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) destroy TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition and/or b) take the most/biggest adverse actions against me..

WIKIPEDIA
— Censure (COMMENT: Who blames you and for what? I should write a book about my “religious” and “conservative” and “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who tried hard but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at ICRC’s annual convention in Wheaton in 2006. They blamed me and they blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady losing the Republican gubernatorial primary that year. Previously, they blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan losing to Blagojevich in 2002. They succeeded in throwing me off ICRC’s Steering Committee in 2007. In my book, I would focus on Ryan’s and Brady’s major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I would focus on the many adverse actions that the aforesaid have taken against me since 2002. I would focus on the many things that I did a) to help elect Ryan in the 2002 general gubernatorial election and b) to help elect Brady in the 2010 gubernatorial election.)
