ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— 2020 FLASHBACK: ILGOP State Convention (COMMENT: When is the 2024 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention and where will it be held? Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. From what I see, there will be tremendous pressure at the 2024 IRP State Convention to water down if not to strike the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform. I have served as a delegate at IRP State Conventions since 2000. I have always asked to be appointed to serve on IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committees. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. Only minor changes have been made to the platform since then. I helped fight tremendous efforts to water down the traditional marriage and family plank at the 2016 convention. I hereby officially ask that I be appointed to serve on the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee for the 3rd Congressional District.)

— Illinois’ Latest Attack on Free Speech- Gov. Pritzker Signs “Anti-Doxing” Bill – Margaret Flavin (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that my critics/opponents will use this new law to sue me. My critics/opponents blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Anticipate/expect that the first lawsuits will be filed by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 a) who have lost elections and b) who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect.)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/illinois-latest-attack-free-speech-gov-pritzker-signs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker has signed the Illinois Civil Liability for Doxing Act. Under the new law, Illinoisans are now at risk, under the law, for writing or sharing in any manner…..even truthful, simple facts. WirePoints reports that the new law, “lets those who are doxed bring lawsuits for damages against the doxer, subject to certain broad, vague requirements described below.” While the definition of “Doxing” most commonly used is sharing personal information about someone on the internet that makes them vulnerable to harassment, shaming or revenge. But, while the new law uses the word doxing to garner sympathy or a concerning danger on social media, the new law has an entirely different definition in the law. WirePoints reports: The law is over-broad, going far beyond the malicious conduct normally associated with doxing. To understand, imagine doing any of the following -– things you would think surely could not expose you to liability for doxing. Then we will check through what the law says is required to make you liable, which probably will surprise you. You write on social media, “Look at Sam Smith’s Facebook page. He says he couldn’t care less about the victims of the Highland Park mass murder and that the right to own assault weapons is God-given.” You send out a group email with a copy of a pamphlet from a local Communist Party chapter showing their members’ names. You publish on the internet the names of the three Illinois lawmakers with the most extreme views on abortion along with your reasons why. You write a column that you post on the internet naming certain public school teachers you think are exceptionally bad for promoting critical race theory and gender alteration for minors, along with your reasons why.)

— Trump Indicted for Citing Data From Ph.D.-Vetted Study to Challenge Election Fraud – James Agresti (COMMENT: In 2020, how many illegals in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct used their false identifications to vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrat candidates?)
https://heartland.org/opinion/trump-indicted-for-citing-data-from-ph-d-vetted-study-to-challenge-election-fraud/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For example, the indictment accuses Trump of lying because he “said that more than 30,000 non-citizens had voted in Arizona” . . . The indictment creates the impression that Trump pulled the figure of “more than 30,000” out of thin air. In reality, it’s from a rigorously documented study that was vetted by two Ph.D. scholars, published by the research institute Just Facts, and conducted by James D. Agresti, the organization’s president and author of the present article. Reinforcing the integrity of the study, a Facebook-funded attempt by USA Today to “fact check” it fell flat. In brief, a D.C.-based grand jury indicted Trump in part for citing a factual study instead of claims from people the jury deems to be reliable. These jurors were drawn from the politically stacked jury pool of Washington, D.C. where 92% of the population voted for Joe Biden. The indictment was obtained by Jack Smith, a prosecutor who was hand-picked by the Biden administration.)

— Because Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters focus on getting those who are the following to hate Trump: LGBTQ, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, unmarried, veteran, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

BARRON’S
— Democrats say “Ivy Degrees, Legacies, and Wealth. Where Colleges Should Go From Here.” What do Ivy League degree holders think of you? I should write a book the many adverse actions that University of Chicago degree holders have taken against me.
https://www.barrons.com/articles/exploring-the-link-between-college-admissions-policies-and-social-mobility-211521a7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Although the Supreme Court ruled in June against race-based college admissions, that hardly put an end to the vigorous debate about the role that educational institutions should play in promoting social and economic mobility. On the heels of that decision, three prominent economists—Harvard University’s Raj Chetty and David J. Deming, and Brown University’s John N. Friedman—weighed in with a study that examined the determinants and consequences of admission to highly selective colleges, the eight Ivy League colleges plus the University of Chicago, Duke University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University. While less than 1% of Americans attend these schools, their graduates account disproportionately for the nation’s wealthiest citizens, scholars, and leaders, including a quarter of U.S. Senators, half of all Rhodes scholars, and three-fourths of the Supreme Court justices appointed in the past 50 years. Ivy and Ivy-plus graduates are also three times more likely to work for the nation’s most illustrious employers, Chetty, et al. found. Yet, for various reasons ranging from preferential treatment of legacies, or applicants with alumni connections, to higher-quality recommendation letters, these elite schools are dominated by students from wealthy backgrounds, rather than middle- and lower-income students with comparable standardized testing scores. The study, published by Harvard-based Opportunity Insights, sought to answer two questions: Do highly selective colleges perpetuate privilege across generations, and could these colleges diversify America’s leaders by changing their admissions policies? The answers, perhaps not surprisingly, are yes and yes.)

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/16/11-facts-about-hispanic-origin-groups-in-the-us/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2022, there were 63.7 million Hispanics living in the United States. The U.S. Hispanic population has diverse origins in Latin America and Spain. Recently, the origins of U.S. Hispanics have begun to shift as patterns of immigration from Latin America change. Notably, the number of Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. has fallen as the number of immigrants who identify as Dominican, Venezuelan, Guatemalan, Honduran, Salvadoran or with another Hispanic origin has grown. . . Eight Hispanic origin groups had at least 1 million people living in the U.S. in 2021. The five largest Hispanic populations in the U.S. by origin group were Mexicans (37.2 million), Puerto Ricans (5.8), Salvadorans (2.5), Dominicans (2.4) and Cubans (2.4). The other three origin groups with populations over 1 million were Guatemalans (1.8 million), Colombians (1.4) and Hondurans (1.1).)

(FROM THE ROUNDUP: U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today announced that his re-election campaign has been endorsed by 22 Republican Central Committee leaders from across the 12th Congressional District. Bost’s coalition of support includes the State Central Committeewoman and Deputy State Central Committeeman for IL-12, as well as 21 Republican county chairs. This newest list of Republican endorsements comes just days after Bost announced support from over 100 local GOP leaders. “These GOP Central Committee chairs know how much work went into turning Southern Illinois into the Republican stronghold it is today,” said Bost. “And they know we put it all at risk when conservatives start attacking each other rather than taking it to Biden and the liberals who are trying to defeat our values. I appreciate the overwhelming support of our local party leaders and will continue working with them to preserve the strong, unified, conservative movement that has served our region so well.”)

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-takes-stage-song-124457163.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Walk-on music has proved controversial for Trump before. In September 2020, he disembarked from Air Force One to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s protest anthem “Fortunate Son,” a song calling out the ability of the privileged to avoid the Vietnam War while the less fortunate could not. Trump was born into wealth and has been labeled a draft dodger for a claim of foot bone spurs that enabled him to skip military service.)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Radio talk show host Dan Proft calls Cosley Zoo Pride Month observance in Wheaton a ‘cautionary tale’ of what happens when ‘sentimental barbarians seize control of your civic institutions’ (COMMENT: I should write a book about adverse actions that the Wheaton Park District has taken against me including stopping me since 2021 from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/644473784-radio-talk-show-host-calls-cosley-zoo-pride-month-observance-a-cautionary-tale-of-what-happens-when-sentimental-barbarians-seize-control-of-your-civic-institutions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dan Proft, the host of The Dan Proft Show, claimed in a tweet on Sunday that the “formerly God-fearing community” of Wheaton, Illinois., is an example of a “cautionary tale” by observing Pride Month at the Cosley Zoo. “Now, another cautionary tale as to what happens when you sit idly by and let sentimental barbarians seize control of your civic institutions,” Proft wrote in the tweet. On June 15, the zoo shared a message of support for Pride Month on its Facebook page. “June is #pride month. Our animals have been enjoying some rainbow enrichment in celebration,” the post stated. “Cosley Zoo is proud to be a safe and welcoming place for families all year!” The post included photos of zoo animals with pride-themed decorative items. Former Illinois state Rep. Jeanne Ives also criticized the zoo in a tweet on June 15. “Wheaton Park District is hiding behind court cases (wrongly, as actual statutory law conflicts) to allow use of locker rooms based on gender identity,” Ives wrote in the tweet. “Essentially saying the courts made them do it. Did the courts make them turn family-friendly Cosley Zoo into a sexual preference promotion site? Utter Lunacy!” Cosley Zoo is home to farm animals and native wildlife. Visitors can explore numerous exhibits that immerse them in natural habitats for white-tailed deer, red fox, Blanding’s turtles, a coyote, and more, according to the zoo’s website. The zoo is also a center for animal education and conservation, offering programs that teach young and old how to care for the world around them and give back to the communities in which they live, work, and play, the zoo’s website states. The zoo is part of the Wheaton Park District.)

Pritzker: ‘In other words, qualifications don’t matter.’ (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly drop hiring, retention, and promotion standards and use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion a) to not hire Republicans, b) to not retain Republicans, c) to not promote Republicans, and d) to get rid of Republicans. It is called patronage, political affiliation, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used the aforesaid, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts a) to waste my four job-related college degrees, b) to waste my six job-related professional certifications, and c) to waste my job-related professional license.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/644494905-former-illinois-house-member-jeanne-ives-to-gov-pritzker-in-other-words-qualifications-don-t-matter
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political commentator and former Illinois House member Jeanne Ives went on Twitter June 19 to criticize Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s statement on equity being the cornerstone of state hiring. “‘Equity needs to be the cornerstone of the state’s workforce if we want to effectively serve the diverse needs of the people of Illinois,’ said Governor JB Pritzker,” Ives tweeted. “In other words, qualifications don’t matter. No wonder, the tollway sent us 5 transponders when we only ordered one.”)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats say “Illinois Republicans start choosing which candidate to back in the 2024 race.”
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-republicans-2024-presidential-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just a few hours after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got off to a dead-air-filled start to his race for president, Donald Trump picked up an endorsement from Darren Bailey, who may have been blown out in his race for governor last year but now appears to be preparing to run for Congress in Southern Illinois and wants the former president on his side. That, in a nutshell, is the state of the GOP race for president, both here in Illinois and nationally. Democratic incumbent Joe Biden is vulnerable, and the pros in both parties know it. His age and appearance raise legitimate questions about his performance. But though it’s still kind of early with time for change, the race for the GOP nomination to oppose Biden seems to be boiling down to a contest between the hero of Jan. 6 and the guy trying to gag Mickey Mouse. The rest of the field is so far back as to be almost invisible. “People who like DeSantis are still with him but getting nervous,” says one top Illinois Republican, who asked not to be named. “The Trump hard core is still with him. A lot of people are looking for a place to land.” “Right now, I’m going to wait and see what happens,” says former Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, a member of the GOP’s central committee who was a big Trump backer in 2020. “Trump seems to be holding his own. But I’m looking at whether he can win” against Biden. As the Bailey reference suggests — “I am proud to endorse President Trump . . . again!” Bailey says on his Facebook page — the former incumbent’s stronghold is downstate, south of Springfield. Party sources believe not only Bailey but U.S. Reps. Mary Miller and Mike Bost will be on Trump’s side, with Bost trying to fend off an expected primary challenge from Bailey. Just to the north, Rep. Darin LaHood recently invited DeSantis to be the star speaker at his recent Tazewell & Peoria County Republicans Lincoln Day Dinner. Though sources close to LaHood say that shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement, I guarantee you it was noticed at Mar-a-Lago. Clearly in DeSantis’ camp is former gubernatorial hopeful and conservative activist Jeanne Ives, who has ties to major party benefactor Dick Uihlein. “I’m a DeSantis fan,” Ives said in a phone interview. “I like a strong governor with a proven record of accomplishments. . . .Florida has, what, a $21 billion budget surplus.” And Trump? “If he’s the nominee, I’ll be 100% behind him,” she replied. “But I’m not going to let anyone off the hook on COVID,” where Trump, at least early in the pandemic, backed a shutdown of much of the nation’s normal business. DeSantis also has received financial help from Joe Ricketts, patron of the Chicago Cubs-owning family. On the other hand, sources in a position to know say that while Citadel chief Ken Griffin has been a major DeSantis financial backer since moving to Florida last year, he’s not been impressed with DeSantis’ cultural war on Disney and others who have spoken up for LGBTQ rights. Illinois Republican Chairman Don Tracy is staying neutral in the race, at least so far. That’s probably a smart move on his part, because unifying the Illinois GOP under any chairman has become an increasingly difficult task. Also staying out of the fray are the GOP leaders of the Illinois Senate and House, John Curran and Tony McCombie, even though signing up with the right candidate can position the signer for statewide office, in the same way that former House GOP Leader Jim Durkin’s alliance with John McCain vastly raised his Illinois profile. Of the remaining field — including ex-Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley — Haley is the only one I could find who’s moved the needle here. Top fund-raiser Bill Strong reportedly is helping her, as is Betsy Ankney, who managed Bruce Rauner’s tough 2018 re-election race. Bottom line at this writing: It looks like a two-person race. But there’s plenty of time for things to change.)

https://westcooknews.com/stories/643187967-memorial-gay-parade-trans-activists-take-center-stage-at-river-forest-s-annual-event-to-honor-war-dead
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2023 version replaced Old Glory with a pro-cross dressing mascot called the “Gender Unicorn,” and the American flags with “rainbow bracelets,” meant to honor homosexuality. Political activists used River Forest’s Monday parade not to remember those killed in action, defending the country, but rather to promote abortion, gun control and so-called “trans” ideology, which argues biological sex no longer exists.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hundreds of noncitizens have been kicked off Chicago’s voter rolls after admitting they were never supposed to have been registered in the first place, according to a new study that blames the Motor Voter law for how the names got added in the first place. Since 2007, the city has removed 394 people from its voting lists after deciding they were actually foreign nationals who, under the law, are ineligible to vote.

As IRS assigned me more and more and more complex collection cases, I learned how important accounting was. I started taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, I took the Becker CPA Review course, and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. But that was far too late for me because of my bad demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male. non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)
https://www.becker.com/blog/cpa/the-timeline-for-cpa-exam-prep
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For college students, graduation is not only a celebration of years of hard work, but also a time to start thinking about the future. Along with finding that first job, there’s one major moment looming for new accounting graduates: passing the CPA Exam. Passing the CPA Exam takes hard work and determination, so planning how to start tackling the exam can be just as important as actually studying for it.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Leaders Threatening to Sue Illinois Review, Silence Leading Conservative News Publication in Blatant Attack on Freedom of the Press (COMMENT: I should write a book about all the efforts since 2000 a) to stop me from putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/04/sources-il-gop-leaders-threatening-to-sue-illinois-review-silence-leading-conservative-news-publication-in-blatant-attack-on-freedom-of-the-press.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And just recently, senior – and former IL GOP officials have sent representatives to try and intimidate the editor-in-chief and publisher of this publication – and threatening them with lawsuits in an attempt to silence and stop Illinois Review from publishing any more stories critical of the Republican Party of Illinois and its leaders – in a blatant and deliberate attack on First Amendment rights – and more specifically, Freedom of the Press. Censoring media outlets is typical in third world countries ruled by dictators – but for Republican Party of Illinois leaders to want to censor the leading conservative news publication in Illinois because they are bothered by the facts is both sad and alarming. Think about that – Republican leaders wanting to censure and silence a conservative Republican news publication. Only in Illinois. But sometimes, the truth hurts. Is it not a fact that IL GOP chair Don Tracy’s company, Dot Foods, where he is an owner, donated to presidential candidate Joe Biden in 2020? Is it not a fact that in 2002, Don Tracy ran in the Illinois primary for the 50th State Senate District as a Democrat? Is it not a fact that on September 4, 2020 – just months before his election as chair of the Illinois Republican Party, Tracy made a personal donation to Citizens for Judge Emily Sutton – a Democrat running for Circuit Court Judge in the 9th Judicial Circuit of Illinois? Is it not a fact that IL GOP national committeeman Richard Porter’s law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, where he is a senior partner, donated to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, during the height of the pandemic and lockdowns? Is it not a fact that Kirkland & Ellis also represents Pritzker family interests, including Pritzker Private Capital? Is it not a fact that the Republican Party of Illinois weaponized their postage discount to attack conservative candidates during the primary? It’s okay for the IL GOP to send out, and pay for mailers that are full of lies and deliberately deceive Republican voters – even photoshopping pictures of Gov. JB Pritzker and disgraced former Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan alongside conservative Republican candidates, to trick voters into thinking that they are not real Republicans – but it’s not okay for this publication to publish stories backed by evidence and facts. What a strange world. In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, Tracy, during a meeting with conservative leaders last July, admits that the Richard Irvin campaign for governor was allowed to use the IL GOP postage discount for mailers – a perk not afforded to other gubernatorial candidates during the primary. Tracy acknowledges the Irvin campaign’s use of the postage discount in the recording, but says the IL GOP was taking its “direction from the Senate Caucus and the House Caucus” – meaning he was re-directing the responsibility for that decision to then-Senate Republican leader Dan McConchie and then-House Republican leader Jim Durkin – the leaders of the Senate and House Caucuses. And Illinois Review is releasing, for the very first time, a portion of that exclusive audio where Tracy shifts the blame to Durkin and McConchie for deciding who had usage of the postage discount, stating, “And that goes, we take direction from the Senate Caucus and the House Caucus.” In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, IL GOP chair Don Tracy blames Durkin and McConchie for the Irvin campaign’s usage of the postage discount, saying the IL GOP took direction from “the Senate and the House Caucus.” Is it not a fact that Durkin lost seats in the House when he was Minority leader during the November election? Is it not a fact that Durkin voted with the Democrats to ban assault weapons? Is it not a fact that Durkin’s Western Springs home is up for sale? Is it not a fact that the chair of the IL GOP Finance Committee, Vince Kolber, votes in Wisconsin and Illinois? Is it not a fact that Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who is a close ally of the IL GOP leadership, harassed and intimidated female Fire District candidates, and then followed them in his car? Is it not a fact that Pekau routinely attacks and harasses constituents online? Is it not a fact that Pekau honored progressive, liberal Democrat and former US Rep. Marie Newman and awarded her with a Community Appreciation Award? Is it not a fact that Pekau rewards top campaign donors with city contracts? And while IL GOP officials are obsessed with wanting to sue Illinois Review and silence this publication, they remain silent on matters where a lawsuit would have been helpful. For example, Illinois Republican US Senate candidate Kathy Salvi’s name was left off the ballot in one county, and when local officials tried to fix the problem, Salvi responded by stating that their efforts did not “solve the most pressing problem of election integrity and transparency.” Salvi went on to say that voters have “been potentially disenfranchised” because of the mistake. And where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. Illinois Review recently learned that when a local Republican leader raised the alarm about a Democratic-controlled county clerk’s office playing games with assigning Republicans to serve as election judges, Tracy and IL GOP officials had a simple message for this concerned, local Republican leader who was desperate for some help and guidance: “Sorry, but we can’t help you.” This is deliberate election interference – and where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. And when Gov. Pritzker signed an unconstitutional assault weapons ban, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. When Gov. Pritzker abused his executive powers and shut down schools and businesses, and forced children to wear masks, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. When Gov. Pritzker extended his “supreme executive power” for the 40th time, declaring that the State of Illinois is still a disaster area from the effects of the pandemic – in a blatant abuse of power, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. But now, when this publication shines light on the many problems with party leadership—this is what motivates them to run to the court and sue? If IL GOP leaders follow through on their threats and sue this publication, they’ll join the ranks of Russia, China and Iran. And here at home they’ll join the ranks of Twitter, before Elon Musk, Facebook, YouTube and allies of the Democratic Party – who routinely censor conservative voices. If there was ever a time to file a lawsuit – it would be against the Republican Party of Illinois for dereliction of duty. It’s no wonder why Republicans always lose in Illinois – their leaders are more concerned about taking out conservative Republicans and conservative news publications than they are about defeating Democrats and winning elections. “Silence conservative voices, but leave the Democrats alone” is the new motto of the Republican Party of Illinois.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “Clarence Thomas’ lax ethics are a blow to the Supreme Court, and America.” Republicans should always keep in mind a) that Democrats ever-increasingly run America and b) that Democrats use everything that you do or that you do not do against you. That is especially true for Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. If you are a Republican, what have Democrats used against you the most? For me, it was a) my avoiding the Viet Nam War draft, b) my complaining about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and c) my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

DEPAULIA
— Democrats say “Youth voter turnout secures Johnson’s spot as mayor-elect.” Democrats ever-increasing crow about their success in getting young people to blame Republicans for their problems. What problems did you have when you were young? I could not run, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. My parents did not have enough money to buy me a car or to send me to college. My GPA and ACT score were not that great. I refused to become a Democrat and my superiors in the federal government were always under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. The Viet Nam War made those who shared my demographics and who avoided the draft or who did not avoid the draft very unpopular. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. The only job that I was offered after I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, Retail Sales Manager for the Chicago Heights Firestone store, did not really require a college degree and my advancement opportunities were very bleak. My Firestone store boss rudely fired me in early 1971 when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile then withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of the aforesaid, my employment opportunities were even more bleak and I accepted a job offer from IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. In 1980, GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. To get rid of me because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they took many adverse actions against me.

According to the DuPage County Election Division, 80,380 Vote-By-Mail ballots were requested countywide, but only 35,548 have been tabulated. In Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, those who voted for the anti-slate candidates ( https://negatetheslate.com/ ) voted to continue, if not to increase, teacher emphasis on promoting the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms instead of improving student performance. Why are only 53% of White students in the district reading at grade level while 63% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 24% of Hispanic students in the district reading at grade level while 41% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 16% of Black students in the district reading at grade level while 30% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203?

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four challengers — Spencer Garrett, Amy Erkenswick, David Sohmer and Kimberly Hobbs — campaigned together under the banner of “parental rights” for majority control of the board. When the dust cleared over Wheaton Tuesday night, at least three of the four slate candidates appeared to come up short in their bids. Incumbents Julie Kulovits and Dave Long emerged from the crowded field with 8,040 and 6,888 votes, respectively, according to unofficial totals as of 11 p.m. Erkenswick led newcomer Erik Hjerpe for third place by a margin of just 61 votes. Trailing were Sohmer with 6,139 votes and Garrett with 5,997. Anjali Bharadwa, running a solo campaign for the second straight election, had 3,172 votes. In the contest for the lone 2-year seat on the board, John Rutledge, a former city councilman, bested Hobbs 8,107 to 6,744 votes. . .Garrett, Sohmer, Erkenswick and Hobbs first showed up to District 200 school board meetings last year to raise objections to “Gender Queer,” an illustrated memoir by nonbinary author Maia Kobabe. The book, which the American Library Association named the most challenged title of 2021, is available in high school libraries. “I can’t believe the pictures that I saw from this disgusting, lewd book,” Garrett told the board in August. Propelled off the sidelines, the like-minded parents formed a local political action committee that reported raising more than $26,000, according to Reform for Illinois’ Sunshine Database. Some of the committee’s donors were evangelical church elders and Christian school board members. Awake Illinois, a Naperville group that has pushed back against mask mandates and called Gov. J.B. Pritzker “a groomer” for signing a controversial law updating sex education standards in K-12 schools, also endorsed Garrett, Erkenswick, Sohmer and Hobbs. The slate candidates believe parents ought to have a greater say over what is taught in public schools and perceive “ideological issues” in the district’s curriculum. The nearly 12,000-student district has an opt-out process for parents to excuse teens from materials they find objectionable. But the four-person slate favored another approach: an opt-in system. School board incumbents and their allies opposed limiting access to books that feature LGBTQ characters and deferred to librarians in curating materials. “The fact that every student would want to see materials that represent their experience, whether they’re gay, straight, transsexual, still deciding, I think that’s very reasonable,” Hjerpe said. Board members defended the district’s process for developing curriculum. The teachers union supported Long, Kulovits, Hjerpe and Rutledge. “Seventy-three percent of our educators have their master’s degree, and they are very well-qualified and capable of doing the job,” said Kulovits, who was appointed to a vacant board seat last summer. Critical race theory, a university-level academic discipline that examines how racism is embedded within legal and social systems, is not taught within District 200 schools. But several slate candidates still broached the topic during the campaign. They also criticized the district’s equity initiatives, particularly implicit bias training for teachers. “I don’t believe in showing partiality in any way in the classroom and the district. We should treat all people the same. With that said, regarding the word ‘equity,’ it gives, just the word itself, gives me great concern,” Garrett said. “We should not lower standards and expectations.” District 200 covers Wheaton and Warrenville, as well as portions of Carol Stream, Winfield and West Chicago.)

How many of the un-tabulated VBM ballots are from Warrenville School District 200 voters? For Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Erkenswick leads Hjerpe by just 61 votes, 6,507 to 6,446. Based on past experience, anticipate that as DCED tabulates VBM ballots, Erkenswick will gain few if any votes.

https://wirepoints.org/chicagoans-vote-to-double-down-on-the-same-policies-that-cost-lightfoot-her-job-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But what Chicagoans voted for on April 4 was someone more extreme and exactly opposite of what the city needed. To reduce Chicago’s nation-high homicide rate, Chicago needed a new mayor willing to take on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s unwillingness to prosecute dangerous criminals. A mayor willing to challenge Judge Tim Evans’ decarcerationist agenda. A mayor willing to jam shut the system’s revolving door for criminals. Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson won’t do any of that. Instead, look for him to embrace the policies of Foxx and Evans. In his own words, he’s for defunding the police and defends looting as “an outbreak of incredible frustration and anguish” tied to “a failed racist system.” Watch for police morale to fall further, for criminals to be emboldened and for crime to continue to spike in Chicago. To improve Chicago’s dismal educational outcomes – only 1 in 20 black students at CPS can do math at grade level – the city needed a new mayor to champion math and reading proficiency as well as educational excellence, merit and achievement. You won’t get that from Brandon Johnson and his Chicago Teachers Union. Johnson has already said that as a teacher he pushed to eliminate standards, stopped giving homework, and reduced test prep as a way of “rebelling against the structure.” For him, the concept of “equity,” not excellence, will dominate, and kids will lose. Watch for student outcomes to worsen as standards are removed. And as for the city’s economic climate and business friendliness, Chicago needed a new mayor who would make the city affordable again by growing the tax base, not the tax rate. Who would encourage companies to come to the city, not lambast them as a cause of social ills. Johnson will do the opposite. He’s promised to target businesses and the wealthy to pay for his social programming. We’ve already seen leaders in business and finance – like Ken Griffin and Citadel and Boeing – leave. Don’t be surprised to see a continued, steady outflow. The damage could be deep. The silver lining in all this? A few years under Johnson may finally push the center left in Chicago to finally give a reformer the support of 50 percent plus one. The question is, how bad of a hit will Chicago have taken during that time? To its safety. To its social cohesion. To its finances. To its population. To its economic base. Will it be fixable, especially with all its debts? We hope so.)

GREENSBURG DAILY NEWS
— Equal opportunity doesn’t mean equal outcome – Paul W. Barada (COMMENT: My Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy. But what if instead, they had a) stressed my demographics (White, male, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America only since 1844, my parents had less money than many of my classmates’ parents, my parents never attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school) and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who did not share my demographics (minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors had been in America longer than mine, those whose parents had more money than mine, and those whose parents had college degrees) and who did better than me, did so because they got preference? I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of high school class and my ACT score was only 24. Because my teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy, I blamed myself for my not getting better grades and for my ACT score not being higher. But what if I had blamed preference that my classmates got because they did not share my demographics? Many of those who did better than me were female, non-Missouri Synod Lutheran, non-100% German American, had ancestors who had been in America longer than mine, had parents who had more money than mine, and had parents who had college degrees.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because of what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters say “DeSantis Faces Tough Task in Beating Trump.” Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters hint/imply/argue/shout that I am the top Trump-promoter in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. The more that it looks like Trump will win the 2024 Illinois Republican presidential primary, the more adverse actions that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will take against me. Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters a) rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, b) rudely ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and d) rudely almost stopping me from attending the DeSantis event in Elmhurst as the GOPUSA Illinois reporter on February 20, 2023.

— 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.)

But the governor himself never lived in either place, which just so happen to be key to any presidential ambitions.)

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.

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. If you are interested in becoming a precinct committeeperson you may contact your party’s township chair listed above.)

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
