— My critics/opponents promote Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, that is, they reject meritocracy. I am the opposite of an AA/DEI hire. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I earned a diploma from Crete-Monee High School and passed the postal employment examination in 1966. Further, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and became a Forensic Accountant in 1997. I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40. Instead, all my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. – Dave Diersen

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

— Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the future is ever-increasingly bleak for those of any age who are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. I was born in 1948. Even though I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was only 24, and I had to work my way through college, that is, I did not get any scholarships, I was nevertheless able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32. But I would not be able to do the aforesaid today because of my bad demographics, that is, because Affirmative Action and DEI requires educators, employers, and everyone else to give ever-increasing preference to those who do not share my demographics.)

(FROM THE STATEMENT: “The tragic death of Sonya Massey has been a heartbreaking event for our community. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends. Since the incident, I have been proactive and transparent, working tirelessly to present all of the facts to the public. I have committed to making changes to our standards and collaborating with other units of government on ways to prevent incidents like this in the future. The one person truly responsible for this act is in jail, and I believe justice will be served through the legal process. Despite these efforts, some in our community want me to pay the price for that person’s actions, even threatening that I pay that price with my life, my family’s lives, or the lives of my deputies.”)

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

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

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

They stress that I am White, male, older (born in 1948), baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American. They stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972.

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

— What discourages you from helping elect candidates? For me, it is far too many of them on ballots in my precinct since 2000 have blamed their defeats on me and on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who reject direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. – Dave Diersen

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

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. Of course, the aforesaid stress and paint negatively that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, I have lived in DuPage County only since 1978, etc. What RINOs do is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I had to work my way through college, and neither me, nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)https://medium.com/a-little-stoic-wisdom/is-the-idea-of-meritocracy-misleading-us-about-success-2c1bf5b6e255

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Action Items For The IL GOP – David E. Smith (COMMENT: Bailey calls for the Illinois Republican Party to censure Edgar, Kinzinger, Ray LaHood, and Walsh for promoting Harris. Have your critics/opponents tried to censure you? My critics/opponents tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They succeed in throwing off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. I should write about that. I would focus on those who are still active today and who could have and should have come to my defense but did not. In 2006 and 2007, I was a) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, b) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization, and d) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee. I had spent lots of my time and my money helping elect in general elections those Republican candidates who had won primary elections.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former State Senator Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) has been posting personal video content on his Bailey for Illinois Facebook page for years now. These updates include political commentary, campaign updates, a Christian devotional readings and prayer. Since these video commentaries are very informative and encouraging, I often share these postings on my own personal social media platforms. One such recent video post deserves much greater attention by a much greater audience. In his video post on Tuesday, August 6th, Darren highlighted some issues that have been on the minds of grass-root conservatives for some time regarding the Illinois Republican Party. He highlights four points that we list below along with the transcript of his commentary. However, the most important call-to-action item – one that will resonate with conservative voters across the state – is the emergence of so-called “Republicans for Harris,” – yes, extreme left-wing Kamala Harris. This group of unprincipled politicians aim to peel away votes from Donald Trump. Illinois mugwumps Adam Kinzinger, Jim Edgar, Ray LaHood and Joe Walsh are among the high-profile snollygosters publicly endorsing Harris and encouraging others to vote for her. (Read more HERE.) Their duplicity is astonishing. Darren also brings to our attention something called “The Edgar Fellows Program” – an initiative launched by former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar (RINO) to develop “leadership and governing capacity in Illinois.” The program focuses on fostering respectful and collaborative leadership to address major policy issues, emphasizing the importance of statesmanship over partisan, ethnic, and regional rivalries. This program is run through the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. Darren’s is absolutely correct to call for a censure of these traitors. Not only should township and county Republican organizations issue resolutions to censure these individuals, so should the Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC). Therefore, we encourage you to take action and speak out. The corporate media is celebrating these turncoats and giving them a platform to denigrate the Republican nominee. We must make it clear that they DO NOT speak for us. Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to censor Kinzinger, Edgar, LaHood and Walsh. Republican officials should not ignore those who claim the “Republican” mantel but then openly disparage policy planks, principles and publicly work against the GOP nominee for POTUS. To be clear, we are very grateful that these things are being discussed, and for our part, we hope you will consider these important points of reformation and speak out to the Republican State Central Committee to encourage them to heed these changes. The following four points, attributed to Tom DeVore, former GOP candidate for Illinois Attorney General, are summarized here: 1.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of primary races. 2.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of the campaign efforts of Springfield’s House Republican Organization (HRO) and Senate Republican Organization (SRO). 3.) The Illinois GOP should fully support Republican nominees over Democrat nominees – especially in state-wide races. 4.) The Illinois GOP should reject donations from groups who engage in activities that are contrary to the Republican Party, i.e. Illinois Teachers Unions. Watch Darren’s video commentary here or read the transcript below for more important information.)
ROCK ISLAND COUNTY REPUBLICANS
— I am striving to fill about 75 Precinct Committeeman positions. – Annie Parchert, Chairman (COMMENT: I should write about the following who have worked the hardest since 2000 to stop me from serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. I would focus on the aforesaid who continue to take the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform.)

— Gov.

Most commonly, those candidates charge me with painting them as being more conservative than they want to be painted. Most commonly, those candidates stress my bad demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Most commonly, those candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about those candidates.

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

Mine was 1974-1986. I made GS-12 (currently $97,079) when I was 25 in 1974, but I did not make GS-13 (currently $115,439) until I was 38 in 1986. During that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I never made GS-14 (currently $136,414) even though I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me during that time were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

— Democrats ask “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165. In today’s dollars, a) that is less that what my salary was ($66,942) when I was 23 years old in 1973 and b) that is $84,910 less than what my salary was ($150,975) when I was 49 years old in 1997. That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I had to work my way through college, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.” Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)

August 6, 2024 – Harris picks Walz
NEWSWEEK
— Tim Walz Is Kamala Harris’ Pick for VP – Jesus Mesa
https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-kamala-harris-vice-president-1934825
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, to be her running mate, CNN reported Tuesday morning, as the Democrats strive to gain ground on former President Donald Trump with just over three months until the November election. An official announcement was expected within hours, with the pair set for their first campaign rally in Philadelphia later on Tuesday. Walz, 60, now in his second term as governor, has gained recognition for his progressive policies while also maintaining an ability to appeal to both urban and rural voters. His selection aims to balance the Democratic ticket, leveraging his Midwestern roots and legislative success to attract a broader base of support. His national profile started to rise after he became the first Democrat to publicly label Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, as “weird”—a narrative that has since been seized upon by Democrats. As a vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz was something of a dark horse. Though his name had only started to surface in recent weeks as a potential contender, he wasn’t typically seen as one of the frontrunners — especially given that Minnesota is a relatively solid blue state. Josh Shapiro, from the must-win commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was widely considered the favorite. Walz brings a unique national political resume: He was a non-commissioned Army officer, public school teacher, and state high school championship football coach before entering politics. As a congressman, he represented Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District—a long-considered GOP bastion—and was re-elected five more times.)

AZ MIRROR
— Democrats, Republicans view precinct committeemen in very different lights. – JEREMY DUDA (COMMENT: Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) leaders appointed me to fill a vacant Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC) position in 1999. I was elected RPC for that precinct in 2000 and every 2 years since. Because MTRO leaders soon determined that I am too conservative for them, that is, because I promote too many planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject including the following planks, they would not appoint me now to fill a vacant RPC position: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Further, they would not appoint me RPC now because they know that they cannot manipulate or dominate me and because I refuse to a) glorify and praise them, b) pander to them, c) serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) cover up their wrong doing, or e) give them money. Further, they blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Further, they rudely had me removed from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. They rudely threw my April 2024 PC letter in their trash. They rudely had me removed as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005. They rudely killed my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019. They rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They rudely had me removed as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012. They rudely had me removed as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member in 2011. They rudely had me removed me as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004. They rudely had me removed as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007. They almost rudely succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. They rudely killed my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. According to them, I bring all my problems on myself, that is, I create all my own problems.)

That is, their top priority was getting rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. They used Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, and budget cuts to accomplish the aforesaid, that is, they used patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination to accomplish the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.

— Democrats say “Donald Trump to visit Chicago for National Association of Black Journalists Convention. Former President Donald Trump will participate in a conversation and question-and-answer session with political journalists on the opening day of the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.” I am a conservative political/government journalist. There are extremely few conservative political/government journalists in Illinois. I believe in full disclosure. Anticipate/expect that those who share my demographics are more likely to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters because they share my conservative political/government opinions. In addition to being conservative, I am Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I have three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (accounting). Further, I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Further, I served as the chairman of a conservative political organization (TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois) for 7 years and on the leadership team of another conservative organization (Illinois Center Right Coalition) for 4 years. Further, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office). Further, I was a union member for almost 12 years. Further, I worked my way through college. Further, I have lived in Wheaton since 1978 and in Illinois since 1948.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans say it is not important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their political views, age, gender or other traits. But people are more likely to say it is important for journalists to share their politics than any other characteristic we asked about. And certain demographic groups place more value than others on the personal traits of their journalists. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans how important it is for the journalists they get news from to have six personal characteristics that are similar to their own. About four-in-ten Americans say it is at least somewhat important that they get news from journalists who share their political views (39%). That is nearly double the share who say the same about getting news from journalists who share their religious views (22%) or who talk or sound like them (20%). Smaller shares say they want to get news from journalists who are similar to them in age (15%), share their race or ethnicity (14%), or share their gender (10%). On several of these questions, opinions vary based on respondents’ political views, age and other personal traits. Political views Similar shares of Republicans and Democrats say it is at least somewhat important for the news they get to come from journalists who share their political views. Four-in-ten Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say this, compared with 41% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. When combining party and ideology, people who place themselves at either end of the political spectrum are more likely than those toward the center to say journalists’ politics are important. Roughly half each of conservative Republicans (47%) and liberal Democrats (50%) say it is important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their politics. Smaller shares of liberal and moderate Republicans (29%) and conservative and moderate Democrats (33%) hold this view. Age A bar chart showing that younger people more likely to want news from journalists of a similar age. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to say they want news from journalists who are around the same age as them. Among U.S. adults ages 18 to 29, 23% say this is at least somewhat important, compared with one-in-ten of those ages 65 and older. Younger adults are also more likely than older adults to say it’s important that the journalists they get news from are the same gender as them; still, large majorities say this is not important. Some 16% of those ages 18 to 29 say it is at least somewhat important for journalists to share their gender, versus 6% of those 65 and older. Race or ethnicity Black Americans are more likely than other racial or ethnic groups to say it is important they get news from journalists who share several of their characteristics – particularly their race or ethnicity. About four-in-ten Black Americans (41%) say it is at least somewhat important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their race or ethnicity. A quarter of Hispanic Americans, 20% of Asian Americans and just 5% of White Americans say the same. For more information on how Black Americans answered these questions, read our report on Black Americans and news. Religion A bar chart showing that White evangelicals, Black Protestants are most likely to want news from journalists with shared religious views. Overall, Americans who identify with a religion are more likely than those who are religiously unaffiliated to find it at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views (26% vs. 15%). Among Christians, Protestants are more likely than Catholics to say it is important for journalists to share their religious views (30% vs. 21%). But there are also differences among Protestants and among Catholics: White evangelical Protestants (37%) and Black Protestants (33%) are about twice as likely as White nonevangelical Protestants (16%) to say this. About three-in-ten Hispanic Catholics say this (28%), compared with 17% of White Catholics. Among Jewish Americans, just 10% say it’s at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views.)

(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — Yesterday, Illinois Democrats denied reality voting against condemning Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed cities like Chicago and others across the nation. Every Democrat (except one who lacked the courage to vote on the position) voted down the resolution, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Democrats in this state have told us to believe our lying eyes so many times, they’ve started to do it themselves. From denying unquestionable outmigration numbers to gaslighting families with tax hikes they call tax cuts, the lies have become so extreme that Democrats in this state actually believe Vice President Harris’s handling of the border was not an unmitigated disaster. Under the Biden/Harris administration, border interactions have skyrocketed, reaching an all time peak of 250,000 just this past December. Democrats who voted to applaud Vice President Harris’s border policy should know that her failures are your failures this November.“)

— How Vice President Kamala Harris got started in politics. – William La Jeunesse
https://www.yahoo.com/news/vice-president-kamala-harris-got-165231260.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Kamala Harris got her start in politics at age 29, when she was just out of law school, at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she met a 60-year-old kingmaker: California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown — arguably then the state’s most powerful politician. Brown, while estranged from his wife, remained married. However, socially, he and Harris were seen everywhere and never denied being close. Brown appointed Harris to several well-paid state commissions: the state Insurance Commission, the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later, the California Medical Assistance Commission. Harris came from a learned household. She was born in Oakland, California, to an Indian-born mother and a Jamaican-born father. Both were professors — one at Berkeley, the other at Stanford. Harris’ parents divorced when she was 7. Following her parents’ split, she moved to Illinois, then to Quebec, Canada, alongside her sister and mother. After high school, Harris attended Howard University, where she joined the debate team and claimed to demonstrate “almost every weekend.” Later, she attended Hastings College of Law, where, like many of her classmates, she failed her first attempt at the California bar exam, but she passed the second time. In 1998, Harris took a job at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, but was later demoted after opposing a measure to try juveniles as adults for felony crimes. After quitting, Harris took a job in the city attorney’s office, and with Brown’s help, raised $600,000 to defeat her former boss to become San Francisco DA. The city’s campaign ethics board fined Harris $30,000 – the highest fine ever levied at the time – for violating campaign finance limits. “I made a very conscious and deliberate decision to become a prosecutor,” she said during a 2003 debate. “I think San Francisco wants a progressive district attorney who is also effective.” As San Francisco DA, she became a controversial figure for opposing the death penalty — even for cop killers — and pursued three-strikes convictions only when they involved violent felonies. After a man murdered officer Isaac Espinoza and Harris refused to pursue the death penalty, Harris received a rare rebuke from Sen. Dianne Feinstein. “I think this district attorney made a very big mistake. As a matter of fact, if I had known she had said that in her campaign, I never would have supported her,” Feinsein said at the time. As district attorney, Harris prosecuted marijuana crimes but rarely sought prison time. In 2010, she became the first woman to serve as California’s attorney general, where she opposed the state’s ban on affirmative action and asked the state Supreme Court to “reaffirm its decision that public colleges and universities may consider race as one factor in admissions decisions.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled affirmative action unconstitutional. As AG, she prioritized environmental crimes, obtaining millions in fines from oil companies for failing to monitor underground storage leaks. In 2016, she ran for U.S. senator and won by outmaneuvering Rep. Loretta Sanchez for the union and Latino vote. Harris also had the support of then-President Obama, who called her brilliant, dedicated and tough, adding, “She also happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country.” Harris’ appeal is partly demographic, but her law enforcement background also made her an appealing running mate in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests and rising crime in some cities. In 2019, Harris dismissed criticism of her record as a prosecutor for jailing marijuana offenders and even joked about her own previous cannabis use. “Have you ever smoked?” she was asked on the “Breakfast Club” radio show in 2019. “I have, and I inhaled. I did it, I did it, and it was a long time ago,” she admitted. As district attorney, however, she pushed for higher bail for gun crimes and sought minimum 90-day sentences for possession of concealed or loaded weapons. Later, as a presidential candidate, Harris said she would pursue universal background checks and a ban on assault-style rifles. “I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” she said during a CNN town hall in December 2019. CNN anchor Jake Tapper also suggested to Harris that her “Medicare-for-all” proposal might eliminate private health insurance. Harris’ defense was, “The idea is, everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them giving you approval, going through the paperwork … let’s eliminate that. Let’s move on.” Her signature tax proposal cost an estimated $3 billion. It would have provided a $3,000 tax credit for individuals and $6,000 for married couples. She also proposed lowering pay disparities by requiring large companies to pay men and women in similar jobs equally. Another proposal aimed at raising teacher pay by $13,500. In a 2020 campaign video she explained her economic approach, saying, “It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” As a candidate for president in 2020, Harris dropped out before the Iowa caucuses. As a candidate, some viewed her policies as too far left, where she seemed to favor big government to solve income and gender inequality.)

— Democrats say “How Some States Are Making It Harder to Register Voters.” Anticipate/expect that many millions of illegals will use their false identifications to register to vote and to vote for Democrats, especially in battleground/swing states.

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats ever-increasingly call Republicans racists and sexists.

— Democrats decry that “Biden administration declines to defend affirmative action programs. Two federal programs created to benefit minority businesses have adopted new race-neutral rules instead of fighting adverse court rulings.” Politicians want votes from minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Since 1998, my critics/opponents have stressed how my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives treated Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ). They have always stressed that constructively, my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives have always rejected the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they have always promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.

— Democrats say “J.D. Vance’s Basket of Deplorables. Trump’s running mate is on the defensive over his views about the childless.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for being childless.

— Democrats say “Democrats Bet America Is Ready to Elect a Black Woman President. Gender and race move to the center of the campaign with Kamala Harris expected to lead the party’s ticket.” To get votes from minorities and from females, Democrat and RINO candidates ever-increasingly shout at minorities and at females that Whites and men cause all the problems that minorities and females have.

Vance as Trump’s vice presidential running mate and how all that will impact this fall’s elections for the White House and Congress.
