(FROM THE ARTICLE: A scary incident at a Heartland elementary school this week highlighted the growing concern about marijuana edibles and kids. School leaders in Sesser say a student shared cookies with several classmates that looked like a trusted brand, but turned out to be anything but. Most of us are familiar with Chips Ahoy cookies and their blue packaging. The school superintendent at Sesser-Valier said a child brought cookies from a very similar-looking bag to school Tuesday and shared them with nine classmates. It’s believed the cookies were actually laced with THC.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— Reporter William J. Kelly, banned from upscale Chicago hotel filled with migrants, clashes with management – Vivek Saxena
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/05/04/reporter-banned-from-upscale-chicago-hotel-filled-with-migrants-clashes-with-management-1355942/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to reporting by an independent journalist operating out of Chicago, the city appears to be housing huge numbers of migrants/illegal aliens in upscale hotels. On Tuesday, reporter William J. Kelly filmed himself entering the Inn of Chicago — an upscale hotel that reportedly charges $239 per night — to book a room, only to be turned away and told to leave as migrants shuffled past him into the hotel. “You can’t come in here. … It’s private. … It’s closed. … It’s closed for you,” the hotel’s management told him. “It’s a private area, so therefore it’s private. You’re not a resident here,” they added before calling 911 on him. As they spoke with him, migrants shuffled past him. Kelly tried speaking with some of them, but none of them appeared to know English. “This hotel, online it says that it’s closed, yet a tremendously large number of people are going in and out,” the reporter at one point remarked to the camera. That the city is now evidently housing migrants in upscale hotels isn’t necessarily shocking. New York City has been doing the same thing for quite some time now. . .Truth be told, what Chicago is currently experiencing is just a fraction of what border cities have had to deal with since the day Biden assumed office in 2021. That said, Chicago officials aren’t used to migrants flooding their city, so they’re having to put out all the stops to handle the current crisis. On Tuesday, for example, Fox News reported that the city has begun turning some of its police stations into migrant shelters. “Chicago police sources say that their stations have become shelters for migrants, with at least two police precinct lobbies housing asylum seekers. The sources [said] that migrants have been sleeping in the stations’ entryways. The immigrants, who do not have access to showers or adequate bathrooms, are often sick and vomiting,” according to Fox News. “While Chicago Police Department (CPD) sources said they sympathize with the migrants, the officials believe it shines a light on the nationwide immigration crisis. Chicago has been a ‘sanctuary city’ for more than five years,” Fox News reported. “This is a dangerous situation that arose from their ridiculous sanctuary city policy. They clearly do not have a plan to deal with it and they’re placing the cops once again in undue risk,” one source told the network. “A couple of weeks ago there was a Venezuelan family who is sitting on the floor next to homeless people with a baby. I gave them twenty bucks and I asked my team to give them money as well,” another source said. The sources are particularly worried that the migrants don’t realize just how dangerous the streets of Chicago happen to be. “Yesterday when I left, there was an eleven-year-old girl sitting on the floor by herself. I try to explain to them not to go outside because my station is in a very bad neighborhood,” one source said.)

— Democrats say “Inside a California proposal to pay $1.2 million in reparations to Black Americans.” How many reparation dollars have you paid so far? Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. So far, I have paid millions of dollars in reparations. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to make me pay reparations big time. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and d) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. So far, I have paid millions of dollars in reparations. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to make me pay reparations big time. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delated my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and d) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

Of course, if you’ve been following political demographics more closely than most people do, you know there are countervailing trends. Noncollege white people have been trending Republican since around 2000 and especially since 2016. Noncollege Hispanic people and black people seem to be headed their way, too.)

I would focus on those who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who refuse to be manipulated or dominated by them, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who use my being the following against me the most: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or my ancestors having been in America since 1844. I would focus on those who have unsuccessfully ran for government offices and who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

BOSTON GLOBE
— Nikki Haley makes Biden’s age a target – Joseph R. Noone (COMMENT: I have fought age discrimination since 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors cranked up their efforts to get rid of me because I was a White male non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by the time I was 25. I should write a book about the biggest age discriminators in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who stress my age and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who never would have taken the adverse actions against me that they did if I had been younger.)
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/04/opinion/letters-to-the-editor-nikki-haleys-ageist-hit-at-biden/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s recent comment that President Biden might not live to complete a second term is remarkable in a number of ways. First, it demonstrates that ageism is unique in being perhaps the only form of prejudice generally tolerated by the public, including those who would otherwise vehemently condemn discrimination. Had Haley, who herself is eligible for AARP membership, attacked another political opponent precisely because that opponent was Black or gay or Jewish, she would, quite rightly, have been so severely censured that her own candidacy probably would have been over. But it would appear that inclusiveness somehow does not extend to the elderly. The rationale behind this might be the gratuitous and unwarranted perception that older workers are less competent, efficient, or adaptable than their younger counterparts in a given field. While this is a groundless stereotype, there is ever in the workplace that situation of the besieged older worker struggling to hang on until retirement while younger workers breathe down his or her neck trying to get the worker’s job. Fortunately, this may be changing, not because people are becoming more accepting of elders but because automation, cybernation, and artificial intelligence, unlike candidate Haley, do not discriminate; they will displace anyone. They are equal opportunity employers. So while younger workers race frantically to get the older worker’s job, they now have to watch their own backs. To the robotic device or the astounding AI program poised to unseat them, they might just as well be old.)

(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: An Itasca-based law firm with long ties to the DuPage County Republican Party created a company that made an anonymous $5,000 donation in support of Democrat Deborah Conroy’s successful 2022 bid for DuPage County Board Chairman. A lawyer with Luetkehans, Brady, Garner & Armstrong created the “DuPage Advocacy Group LLC” on Oct. 28, 2022, Illinois Secretary of State filings show. Days later, the group made $5,000 donation to Conroy’s campaign committee, Friends of Deborah Conroy. It officially posted on Nov. 10, according to an Illinois State Board of Elections campaign finance filing. Conroy won 172,068 votes (51.3 percent) to 163,233 for Republican Greg Hart of Hinsdale (48.7 percent) in the Nov. 8, 2022 election, becoming the first-ever Democrat DuPage County Chairman. Excepting the DuPage Advocacy Group donation, Luetkehans and Luetkehans, Brady, Garner & Armstrong made a combined 51 campaign donations totaling $38,953 in 2021 and 2022. All were to Republicans, mostly in DuPage County. The firm’s four name partners, including former Illinois GOP Chairman Patrick M. Brady, have voted in a combined 46 GOP primaries and zero Democrat ones, Illinois State Board of Elections records show. Partners Bruce E. Garner, 57, and Brian Armstrong, 54, both of Wheaton, have each voted in eight GOP primaries to zero for Democrats. Luetkehans, 60, of Warrenville, has voted in 18 GOP primaries and zero Democrat ones. He describes himself as a “municipal specialist” who “advises numerous governmental clients,” including the DuPage County Liquor Commissioner, DuPage Airport Authority and DuPage Water Commission. Sources tell DuPage Policy Journal that Luetkehans is close personal friends with DuPage County Republican Chairman Jim Zay, 55, a county board member who Conroy recently re-appointed to the DuPage Water Commission board. First elected to the DuPage County board in 1999, Zay won re-election in County Board District 6 along with two Democrats, Sheila Rutledge and Greg Schwarze. District 6 covers the northwest corner of DuPage County, including parts of Wayne, Bloomingdale, Winfield and Milton Townships. “Pat Brady is a liberal Democrat and has been for some time” Records show Brady, 62, formerly of St. Charles and currently of Chicago, has voted in 12 GOP primaries and zero for Democrats. But he endorsed and appeared in ads for Democrat U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Downers Grove) in 2020, as he was challenged by former State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton), arguing she “questioned the science” about the coronavirus. A statement by state GOP party officials slammed Brady at the time, saying that “identifying and labeling” him as a Republican is “false and misleading.” “Pat Brady is a liberal Democrat and has been for some time,” it said. Last week, Zay said he wouldn’t criticize two DuPage County GOP officials, Sam Tornatore and Donald Puchalski, who made public campaign donations to Conroy. In March, Conroy appointed Puchalski to a paid position on the board of commissioners for the DuPage Airport Authority. Zay, of Carol Stream, is vice president at Service Stampings Illinois Inc. of Roselle, a metal stamping firm.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since 2017, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has used a political propaganda website masquerading as legitimate news publications, to control the narrative and ensure positive media coverage – publishing over 70 stories dating back to his 2017 campaign for mayor – and most recently, his failed bid for Congress. In a Tuesday column written by the Chicago Tribune editorial board, this online portal allows elected officials, candidates and their campaigns to submit stories exactly as they want them published – including op-eds, without any fact checking – ensuring, as the Tribune highlighted, “that the finished ‘article’ was about as objective and probing as a campaign flyer.” In a legitimate publication, there would be fact checking, verification of original content to avoid plagiarism, and a legal review, before anything is published. . .It’s no wonder Pekau has enjoyed positive “news” coverage over the last several years – he was controlling the narrative and submitting the stories from behind the scenes to make sure he was viewed in the best possible way. That’s not news – it’s political propaganda. And it sounds eerily similar to what Vladamir Putin does in Russia.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— The GOP Has a Gen Z Problem
https://amgreatness.com/2023/05/02/the-gop-has-a-gen-z-problem/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2028, Millennials and Gen Z will represent a plurality of eligible voters. By 2036, those two cohorts will represent more than 60 percent of would-be voters. In other words, the most uninformed group of voters—those with the least amount of life experience—will soon be deciding who sits in the Oval Office and who controls Congress over the course of the next several elections. Broken down by race, ethnicity, or sex, the figures look even worse for the GOP among young adults. Consider that in the last election, 58 percent of white Americans ages 18-29 voted for the party that says a person is racist solely for lacking melanin. Meanwhile, 89 percent of African Americans ages 18-29 voted for the party that wants to defund the police. And 68 percent of Latinos ages 18-29 voted for the party that condescendingly refers to them as “Latinx.” Not surprisingly, Republicans fared equally as bad among young female voters in the 2022 midterms. In 2022, 65 percent of white female voters ages 18-29 voted for the party that wants to let biological men compete against female athletes. Eighty-nine percent of African American females ages 18-29 voted for the party that celebrates abortion on demand, and 80 percent of Latinas voted for the party that can’t even define what a woman is. The numbers will likely only get worse in future elections. It’s not hard to understand why the Right does so poorly with young voters each election cycle. It’s tough to compete with the Left when they offer up a Bernie Sanders socialist goody bag of free college, free healthcare, a guaranteed universal basic income, and the Green New Deal, all paid for by us. Is it any wonder that the pink-haired gender studies majors are down for the cause when their party believes merit-based achievements are immoral, allows individuals to identify any one of 568 genders, thinks illegal immigration is wonderful, and insists that men can get pregnant? Conversely, the Right offers up patriotism, lower taxes, fewer regulations, law and order, clean streets, energy independence, a secure border, and removing wokeness from our institutions. Those might sound appealing to the commoners, but they aren’t exactly the type of issues that will excite any Che Guevera-worshiping, marijuana-loving atheist who spends her spare time scrolling TikTok and railing against the inhumanity of fracking as yet another manifestation of the late-capitalist patriarchy. Good luck boasting to a cohort that is likely still supported by their parents that a vote for Republicans means a lower corporate tax rate, a wall along the southern U.S. border, the end of the “environmental, social, governance” movement, a strong stance against Russia, China, and Iran, and the dismantling of the Deep State.)

My appearance on Chicago’s Morning Answer: “They lost that fight, but they’re not giving it up. This is because they are furious that there is an institution left in this country.

This is an attempt to de-legitimize the court. It’s an attempt to stage a hostile takeover of the court. How do you view this coordinated effort against the justices who are not nominated by a Democrat president?)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: What could have slowed down if not stopped the Democrat invasion, infiltration, infestation, conquering, and inevitable destruction of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton? ANSWER: Abuse of the Republican Party’s “Big Tent” policy. Far too many leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the nine DuPage County Republican township party organizations have failed/refused to defend or advance the Republican Party platform. Far too many have painted themselves as being “Democrat Lite.” Far too many talk and/or act like they were/are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs. Far too many of them have been/are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters. Far too many of them reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many of them destroy those like me a) who refuse to be manipulated or dominated by them, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

I have been the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman since 1999.

MTRO leaders have publicly insulted me at MTRO events. MTRO leaders have frequently hinted/implied/argued/shouted that what I have done as a precinct committeeman since 1999 and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and what I did as the following caused Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose elections a) the MTRO webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, b) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, c) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, d) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, and e) as an Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee member in 2008 has. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Illinois Democrats denounce as ‘deceitful’ a pipeline used in last year’s elections to right-wing local news sites.” Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-democrats-denounce-right-wing-newspapers-20230428-o6hs2xsihvgmvngqkxzyqldyyy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A publisher of far-right websites and mailings designed to look like newspapers created a special online portal for top Illinois GOP candidates and activists to directly seek favorable coverage during last year’s elections, according to a newspaper report that prompted state Democrats to denounce the actions as “deceitful” to voters. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Brian Timpone, an ally and business partner of right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, used a password-protected portal that allowed Republicans to pitch stories, provide questions for interviews, place campaign announcements and run “verbatim” op-eds on websites and mailings that are published by the Local Government Information Services organization.)

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/conservative-news-site-illinois-review-critical-gop-insiders
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A kerfuffle among conservative Republicans is raising some eyebrows around Illinois — in some ways echoing what Democrats say about the Illinois GOP. At issue are a series of provocative pieces published recently by Illinois Review, a longtime right-leaning commentator on the state of Illinois politics whose ownership recently changed hands. Last week, for instance, it raised questions about whether conservative megadonor Dick Uihlein is getting his money’s worth out of big contributions to a political action committee run by conservative operative and radio talk show host Dan Proft. Earlier, it called for the resignation of state GOP Chairman Don Tracy, saying the state party’s miserable showing in the November general election — including the defeat of Proft- and Uihlein-backed gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey — did not warrant Tracy’s retention. It also has reported that an investigation is underway into whether postal rules were broken when Tracy allowed the party establishment’s candidate for governor, Richard Irvin, to use its postal permit to lower costs for mailing campaign literature. Tracy urged Illinois Review to back off. “They do seem to be trying to divide the party,” Tracy said an interview. “They seem to be attacking more Republicans than Democrats.” Proft responded with some of his trademark snark but declined substantive comment. “Got another ‘bombshell’ there, do you, Greg?” he said in an email. “You go ahead and run with it.” Jeanne Ives, a Proft ally who also is mentioned in recent Illinois Review articles, also has a sharp “no comment” statement: “I don’t read their garbage,” she emailed. But Illinois Review Publisher Scott Kaspar said the new owners’ objectives are pretty clear. “Exposing corruption is sort of our main goal,” Kaspar said in an interview, because corruption is one of the reason the party has done poorly in recent cycles. “We need to clean up our house, so we can do better at the polls.” Kaspar pointed to the post about Proft, which suggested that one reason a slate of candidates backed by Proft for the Lyons Township High School District board fell short in the March election is Proft’s People Who Play By the Rules PAC reported spending just $3,725.56 on their behalf in a quarter in which his Starfish Consulting was paid $75,000 by the PAC and firms operated by associates another $67,000. “It struck us as odd that something like 38 times more money went to consultants rather than candidates,” Kaspar said, though he conceded that some of the group’s spending was not quite clear. That criticism — Uihlein’s money being wasted — is similar to comments political aides to incumbent Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker made after GOP gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey lost by double digits to Pritzker last November, despite millions of dollars of attack ads against him spent by Proft’s PAC using Uihlein donations. Another Illinois Review article blasted Tracy for recently saying that, like it or not, Illinois Republicans will have to start promoting the use of mail ballots if they hope to beat Democrats. Tracy didn’t talk about that until after November’s defeat, the article said, and didn’t mention that Illinois Democrats have allocated millions of dollars to implement such programs, while Illinois Republicans are operating on a “shoestring budget.” Another target of reporting by the publication is Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau. Pekau defeated Kaspar in the GOP primary for the 6th District congressional race last year. The two repeatedly have clashed in various settings, but Kaspar denied he’s using Illinois Review for a personal feud. One of Tracy’s predecessors as Illinois GOP chair, Pat Brady, said that, up to a point, Illinois Review and its new owners “have a point. Proft has had horrible results,” spending at least $130 million in the past couple of years on races for governor, Illinois Supreme Court judgeships and other losers, he said. But overall, the story behind the story may be no more complicated that a new publication trying to attract an audience and make money by attacking the party establishment, Brady continued, noting that Donald Trump and others have gained by such moves. Kaspar responded that, “You have people who understand what we’re doing and people who have something to hide.” Illinois Review in November announced its change in ownership from co-founder Fran Eaton to a group including Kaspar and conservative radio host Mark Vargas, who is the site’s editor. Update — Despite any claims to the contrary, there is “no basis in fact” that the party let Irvin use its postal permit, says Illinois GOP Executive Director Shaun McCabe.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them.” – Kevin Coyne

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Coyne, founder of the Safe Suburbs PAC, is celebrating the PAC”s achievements in Naperville in the April 4 election. Though the group’s endorsed candidates ‘faced a great disadvantage due to Naperville’s shifting political demographics, all 7 had very impressive finishes where 4 won seats on City Council and a 5th lost by less than 1 point.’ “Safe Suburbs USA started in Naperville in 2020 and largely in response to a local political trend that we found dismissive of police concerns and the warnings raised by the DuPage County and Will County SAs as to the SAFE T Act,” Coyne said on Twitter. “Since then, we have endorsed and aggressively supported 7 Naperville Council candidates. All 7 were Right-leaning non-incumbents running against largely Left-leaning candidates in a city that both Biden and Pritzker won by over 20 points each. Uphill battles to say the least.” Coyne trusts “These new councilmen, once paired with Mayor-elect and FOP endorsed Scott Wehrli, give Naperville an exceptionally strong pro-police council.” He said they “see no chance that this new majority will be dismissive of police concerns nor remain passive should future threats to public safety, such as the SAFE T Act, arise. “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them. We look forward to future election successes, both in Naperville and throughout Chicagoland,” Coyne added. In the wake of the election Coyne, a former Naperville councilman, said it was “a very good night in Naperville and a couple of other communities for our supported candidates.” Safe Suburbs endorsed Josh McBroom, Meghna Bansal, Nag Jaiswal, and Nate Wilson for Naperville City Council. The council race featured a crowded field. In an updated report from Positively Naperville, McBroom won with 13,162 votes and 11.97% of the electorate. Wilson, who had a 41-lead over Bansal, also won with 10,430 and 9.49% of the vote. Other endorsees, Bansal and Jaiswal, lost. The campaign featured controversy after Coyne and others called out Naperville council member Theresa Sullivan over the Naperville Forward mailer for misleading voters. Sullivan runs the Naper Forward PAC, which supports leftist politics. Naperville mayor-elect Scott Wehrli, a part-time law enforcement officer, defeated councilman Benny White in the April 4 election. “We worked so hard to represent every voice in this community, and that’s been the amazing part of this journey — meeting so many wonderful people and learning so much about different groups, different cultures, different facets of this Naperville that we know that I never understood,” Wehrli said at his election party, DuPage Policy Journal previously reported. On his website, Wehrli said maintaining a safe, livable community was his first goal. “We work hard to be called one of the safest cities in America. Living without constant fear of street crime is a prime reason people live, move, shop and do business here,” Wehrli’s website reads. Safe Suburbs USA notes on its website that it “promotes public safety and the welfare of suburban residents throughout the USA by advocating and educating on issues relating to crime and its effect on suburban families. We recommend and promote agencies, candidates and programs which promote public safety and the rule of law.” The Naperville City Council will be sworn in on April 30.)

THE HILL
— Democrats say “Michigan GOP faces existential crisis” and that former Rep. Dave Trott (R-Mich.) says “The state party is dead.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance its platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I should write a book about the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) since 2000. I would focus on their ever-increasingly a) becoming “Democrat Lite;” b) dumping the individual responsibly, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform; c) dumping activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, organizations, precinct committeemen, voters, etc. who support the aforesaid planks; d) dumping platform Republicans; e) dumping conservatives; f) dumping Republicans, and g) destroying the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO.

— Democrats ever-increasingly use the Proud Boys against Trump.
https://www.aol.com/news/ex-proud-boys-chief-uses-183546899.html
— Democrats say “Trump zeroes in on a key target of his ‘retribution’ agenda: Government workers.” My Democrat superiors in the federal government were operatives for the Democrat Party. They focused on getting rid of their employees who were Republican and especially those like me who were conservative, White, male, older, past/present union members, non-veteran, non-poor, married, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors had been in America for a long time.
https://www.aol.com/news/trump-zeroes-key-target-retribution-110000512.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the top of Trump’s list is reinstituting an executive order known as “Schedule F,” which would reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees involved in policy decisions as at-will employees. In other words, they would lose their employment protections, and it would be much easier for a president to fire them.)

REUTERS
— I should write a book about major anti-conservative donors who donate money to Republican candidates, elected officials, and organizations to get the Republican Party to officially dump the individual responsibly, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform. I would focus on major anti-conservative donors in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I support the aforesaid planks.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/congress-should-repeal-special-immunity-it-gave-the-gun-industry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why shouldn’t a jury be allowed to decide if promoting high-power, large cartridge, weapons of war to the average consumer makes that product unreasonably dangerous when used to murder civilians? They can do so for virtually any other type of product in America where the entire industry isn’t given special immunity by Congress or another legislative body. Why is gun manufacturing entitled to this special exemption? Gun ownership is protected by the 2nd Amendment, but gun manufacturing is not. By simply removing this special shield against civil liability, we would force gun manufacturers to consider how they market their most lethal weapons, and to whom. They would have to think about whether to make guns with handprint or fingerprint technology (like an iPhone) so only the purchaser who passed a background check could use the weapon. No one’s constitutional rights would be impinged, and one would be affirmed—the 7th Amendment right to trial by jury—a guarantee that our Founders intended to be just as sacrosanct as the 2nd Amendment and all other freedoms inscribed in the Bill of Rights.)

In this trial, Trump’s future is break because he lacks jury appeal because of his bad demographics: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, draft avoider, married, gun owner, Protestant, German America, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. I share all of Trump’s aforesaid bad demographics. Because of that, I lack jury appeal. Because of that, the courts in the lawsuits that I have filed have granted the defendants summary judgment.

https://www.wbez.org/stories/cannabis-classes-are-expanding-at-illinois-colleges/e7d2af69-1087-446e-810b-33028ffc78f0
— Democrats ask “Can’t make sense of your college financial aid package?” and say “Here’s help.” My father made just enough money to disqualify me for any kind of college financial aid. Because of that, between November of 1964 and September of 1969, the overwhelming focus of my life was earning money a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and b) to buy new cars to get to/from work and school. I washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked as many hours that I could. That enabled me a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses; b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968; and c) to graduate debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger. However, my GPA suffered because I spent too much time working instead of studying. According to my critics/opponents, I had to work my way through college because I did not get any scholarships because I was not college material. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24.

I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes in 1965. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail in 1967, 1968, and 1969. The aforesaid enabled me a) to buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) to pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) to pay for my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970, and g) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Democrats say “GOP takes another misguided stab at defunding the tax police.” Do you know anyone who has worked for IRS? I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year. Do you know anyone who has audited IRS? I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 year at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $!09,732-$117,047/year. I should write a book about those who have wasted my knowledge of IRS the most. They include Illinois Republican a) U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, b) candidates for those offices, and c) their staff members, political consultants, and campaign managers.

LOYOLA
— Top-ranked graduate programs: Top 3 in Chicago and No. 43 in the nation: Part-time MBA (COMMENT: After taking four graduate evening Loyola business courses a year starting in 1972, I earned an MBA from Loyola 1976 when I was a 27 year old IRS employee. My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors ignored, dismissed, belittled, wasted, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that. They did that because I was so many of the following: Republican, conservative, draft avoider, union member, grievance filer, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972. Starting in 1972, I deducted those courses, and in 1978, they disallowed those courses. They falsely argued that the courses were not job related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and that they were a distraction. They ignored the fact that the employee manual they had given me encouraged me to take the courses. They ignored the requirements of my position description the reason why I took the courses that I stated in my Loyola application.)

FORBES
— Democrats say “How To Have An Authentic Job Search To Find A Company That Aligns With Your Values.” Democrats run the federal government. If you are not a Democrat or do not become a Democrat and you become a federal employee, the Democrats who run the federal government will not only assure that you will not have a successful career, they will waste your career and get rid of you. I never would have become a federal employee if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him in 1966. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from the Post Office in 1966. Because my employment opportunities were bleak in 1970 because I was viewed as being draft bait, I took and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS in 1971 because I was unemployed because my Firestone Store boss had rudely filed me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The platform is not “Democrat Lite.” The Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. However, ever-increasingly, IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders talk and/or act like they reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, they use the Republican Party’s “Big Tent” policy to get rid of platform Republicans like me, that is, to get rid of conservatives like me. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like they are anti-conservative if not conservative-hating Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs. Ever-increasingly they take adverse actions against those like me who support the aforesaid planks. I should write a book about that. I would focus on IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders a) who rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) who rudely ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) who rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who rudely ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) who rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) who rudely ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee (ICRC) member in 2007, g) who rudely almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) who rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and i) who rudely ended my service on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

He differed from me in that he was younger than me, he had started his career with GAO, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he was to the left of me, and he never complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “Bailey talks to Trump about Bost’s seat.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/04/21/bailey-talks-to-trump-about-bosts-seat-00093239
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Darren Bailey, the former Republican candidate for governor, talked to former President Donald Trump on Wednesday about a potential run for Congress against Rep. Mike Bost in Illinois’ downstate 12th District. Bailey was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for a fundraiser for Louisiana governor candidate Jeff Landry and was able to buttonhole Trump, according to a person familiar with their meeting. It would be yuge: Bailey and Bost both lean right, so a primary would rally Republicans to the polls next year. There has been talk in Republican circles for months that Bailey might challenge the Republican congressman from Murphysboro. Bost is girding for a fight. He raised nearly $414,000 in the past quarter ending in March, according to Federal Election Committee reports. It’s a huge amount for Bost, who has had next to no primary competition since he took office in 2015. Bailey’s story: He’s a former state representative and state senator who won the GOP gubernatorial primary in 2022 after Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association spent millions to paint him as an extremist opposed to abortion. The former president also endorsed Bailey. That rallied the right in the GOP primary, leaving Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, a moderate Republican, in the dust. In the General Election, Pritzker continued to hammer Bailey, saying he wasn’t a fit for Illinois. Bailey, meanwhile, tried, unsuccessfully, to link Pritzker to Chicago’s crime problems, though he says Democrats’ mail-in ballot efforts ultimately did him in. Pritzker won 55 percent to 42 percent.)

I washed dishes four evenings a week and Saturdays for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer of 1965 in between. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have all made it very clear that they never took bad jobs like I did. Either they did not have to take any jobs because their parents had lots of money or, if they did take jobs, they were good jobs.)

GAO. Republican United States Senator Peter Fitzgerald nominated both Eve and United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Patrick Fitzgerald who represented GAO. I should write a book about Republicans who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about Republicans who have no problem with, if not promote, the following: patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Republican Puchalski donates to Conroy (COMMENT: Your political donations say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/641713218-republican-puchalski-donates-to-conroy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Donald Puchalski donated $500 to progressive Democratic DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy. Puchalski, of Addison, was a DuPage County Board member but lost in the fall 2022 election as an incumbent. He previously held a 1st District seat. The 68-year-old attorney had been a member of the DuPage County Board since 2005 when he was appointed to the public body. When running for re-election to the slot in 2022 he called for a need “to be conservative in spending” and suggested DuPage County keep “partisan politics off the board floor.” Puchalski’s former seat was from a traditionally conservative area of the county and included includes Bensenville, Wood Dale and parts of Elmhurst and Bloomingdale. His law firm, the Law Offices of Donald E. Puchalski focuses on immigration issues and domestic relations. He was previously a trustee for Addison Township, a member of the Addison Police Pension Board and a Republican precinct committeeman. “I think every government has to live within their means, and I think DuPage government has been very fiscally responsible and proactive,” Puchalski said when first appointed to the board in 2005. Puchalski and current GOP DuPage County Board member Sam Tornatore both donated to Conroy’s campaign at the same time after receiving financial support from GOP township organizations in Addison.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— Anheuser-Busch accused of racist, discriminatory hiring policies under the ‘cloak of equity’ – Chris Donaldson (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their employees who are Republican.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/04/18/anheuser-busch-accused-of-racist-discriminatory-hiring-policies-under-the-cloak-of-equity-1350992/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The maker of Budweiser and Bud Light as well as a slew of other liquid libations is being sued by a conservative legal group over a program that ostensibly promotes diversity in hiring in terms of women and minorities but is discriminatory toward white and Asian Americans in pursuit of equity, a racially exclusionary ideology that is pervasive in modern day Corporate America. In the federal civil rights complaint filed by America First Legal, which was founded by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the group requests that “the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) open a civil rights investigation of Anheuser-Busch’s systemic and discriminatory hiring, promotion, and job-training employment practices,” according to a news release posted on its website. “Under the cloak of ‘equity,’ woke companies like Anheuser-Busch proudly discriminate based on race, color, national origin, and sex in their employment practices,” the statement reads. “For example, Anheuser-Busch created a Leadership Accelerator Program that provides ‘formal mentorship, executive interaction, and leadership development curriculum for those who identify with historically underrepresented groups as they join our organization in a full-time capacity.’ Only specific individuals of specified races, colors, and national origins – notably excluding White and Asian Americans – are invited to apply.”)

Why won’t they let Jessica Bates adopt? Because she, as a practicing Christian, refuses to submit to gay and transgender ideologies. Bates’s complaint is worth reading for anyone concerned about religious freedom. According to her complaint, Bates “initially progressed through the application process without any problems” until ideological insanity reared its ugly head.)

As with all disparate impact analyses, that demolition of standards rests on an a priori truth: that there is no academic skills gap between whites and Asians, on the one hand, and blacks and Hispanics, on the other.

— Democrats a) ever-increasingly run education in America and b) increasingly admit that “America’s educational superpower is fading.” Ever-increasingly Democrat educators focus on cranking out good little democrats who are anti-heterosexual, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older, anti-non-poor people, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-gun-owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and anti-those ancestors have been in America for a long time.

ECONOMIST
— Artificial intelligence is reaching behind newspaper paywalls. Publishers long accused tech firms of profiting from their content. Now they have a point. (COMMENT: www.gopillinois.com has never been paywalled and it never will be. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have always been free and free of advertising and donation requests and they always will be. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been beyond furious about that. They have always been beyond furious that since 2000 that I have had the time, money, ability, experience, and motivation to put together and send out the newsletters free of charge and without any advertising or donation requests and to post copies of them on www.gopillinois.com . I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

OXFORD DICTIONARY

QUORA
— Productive member of society (COMMENT: What shows that you are a productive member of society? For me, it is my putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning. Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you are not a productive member of society? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who hint/imply/argue/shout that I am not a productive member of society. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, f) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, g) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or h) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have done the most to stop me from sending the newsletters out and to stop everyone from reading them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
