CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD & WAND TV
— Democrats say that Gingrich tweets that “Florida blogger registration bill ‘insane.” The bill only applies to those who are paid to write. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Who pays Gingrich to write what he writes and how much? I should write a book about a) those who pay my critics/opponents and b) how much they pay them. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I had to report to them annually a) the source of my outside income (Firestone Stores in 1971 and 1972) and b) the source of my wife’s income. Because they always had full access to my federal income tax returns, they knew what the amounts were. Again, he who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one pays me for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. My income is my Civil Service Retirement System pension and my Social Security.

WJOL
— Democrats say “Illinois Promoting New Initiative To Address Teacher Shortage.” 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 who would take the jobs. They were so desperate that they hired me even those I was non-veteran, conservative, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. They wrongly anticipated that with enough pressure, I would become a Democrat. They wrongly gave too much weight to the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that my mother never attended high school, d) that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, and e) that the adverse actions that they started taking against me in 1968 would work.

— Democrats say “High prices, gaps in availability across Illinois highlight patchwork child care system. ” Since the 1940s, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me, my father, my mother, and my brother as being undeservedly filthy rich because my father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother’s employment opportunities were poor because she never attended high school.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Bad blood between Trump, Fox News colors 2024 presidential race – Seth McLaughlin (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Sooner or later, if not already, my critics/opponents will officially charge me with unethically using my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to tip the 2024 Republican Illinois presidential primary scales a) to Trump, b) to DeSantis, and/or c) to other Republican presidential candidates. Who will come to my defense? So far, no one has publicly complained about those who almost succeeded in stopping me from getting press credentials to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. Expect that those who support those primary candidates who lose will charge me with unethically promoting other candidates. They did that big time for the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Bill Brady supporters blamed me big time for Brady’s defeat. They almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 annual convention in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall. To this day, Jim Ryan supporters blame me big time for Ryan’s losing to Blagojevich in 2002. Democrats always do everything that they can to assure that those candidates who win Republican primaries are the ones who Democrats believe are the easiest to defeat in general elections.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Knowing who you’re selling to is just as important as knowing what it is that you’re selling. And while you may think that you understand your target audience like the back of your hand, as strategies change and businesses grow, so do their audiences. Next thing you know, your ideal audience is no longer who you’re targeting, and you’re wondering why your marketing and sales efforts aren’t excelling the way they used to. To stay on track, it’s important to regularly audit your buyer personas to make sure that who you think you’re selling to is accurate and aligned with your goals. Below, we’re going to go over the basics of why knowing your target audience is so essential — plus tips for figuring out exactly who they are.)

— Southern Illinois University professor demands Black staff get special paid time off to deal with ‘fatigue,’ ‘trauma’ from systemic racism. Critical race theorist Angel Jones says faculty should get special bereavement leave, counseling services. – Hannah Grossman
https://www.foxnews.com/media/professor-demands-black-people-special-paid-time-off-deal-fatigue-trauma-systemic-racism
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A critical race theorist and professor demanded that Black people should get special bereavement leave and counseling services in order to deal with issues relating to systemic racism. Angel Jones is a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville whose work is grounded in critical race theory and critical race feminism. CRT is an ideology and lens that holds America’s institutions are systemically racist and views individuals in an oppressor vs. oppressed narrative. Critical race theory postulates that policies that privilege oppressed people should be implemented in order to achieve equity and make up for historical wrongs. Jones argued that Black faculty should be granted special paid time off and mental health therapy to deal with events of alleged police brutality in an article published in Times Higher Education on Feb. 23. Jones did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she supported bereavement leave for all minorities in oppressed categories. “I am a proud educator who loves what I do. But before that, I am a Black woman,” she wrote. “A Black woman who is expected to return to ‘business as usual’ on Monday after seeing a member of my community murdered on Friday. Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways. Where’s our Black bereavement leave?” She called campus-wide statements to students in the aftermath of racial events in the news as “obligatory” and “performative,” adding it didn’t go far enough to address Black faculty’s “trauma,” which they need to “process.” “Where are our counseling services? Where is our grace for missed meetings and deadlines while we mourn? Yes, we have jobs to do and students to support, but we also have trauma to process.” In order to deal with “racial battle fatigue,” the professor said funding should be allocated to the mental health of Black staff. Racial battle fatigue refers to the “psychological and physiological consequences of experiencing racism.” Jones said the proclaimed psychological phenomenon “has been well documented and can have ‘deadly’ symptoms, including ‘suicidal thoughts.’” Racial battle fatigue, the professor said, can also cause “elevated heart rate, tension headaches and stomach ulcers.” “We experience these symptoms on a regular basis as a result of our first-hand racial trauma,” she said. “Free counseling services, by culturally competent counselors familiar with identifying and addressing [racial battle fatigue], should be available at all times.” In addition to counseling, Jones demanded “Black bereavement leave” in order to have the “space and time to grieve.” Bereavement on the basis of race requires a day off, an ability to work from home, a deadline extension and to have their workload reassigned. Including these benefits will help “for the retention of Black faculty and staff.” “Don’t assume you know what they want or need just because you read this article. Anti-Blackness is intentional, so your efforts to combat it must also be,” she said.)

— Democrats say “CPAC shows many in Republican Party aren’t ready to move on from Trump.” Of course, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters hint/imply/argue/shout that those Republicans who spoke at and attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst were Trump-haters. They wanted to dictate which Republicans were reported as attending the event. That is why they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the event.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Democrats say that the ACLU Florida chapter says that “A proposed law that would require people (PAID FOR) blogging about Ron DeSantis to register with the state is a clear violation of the First Amendment:” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about those who since 2000 have talked and/or acted the most like they have paid people and/or have had people paid, including government employees, a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and/or b) paid to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.
https://www.businessinsider.com/florida-blogger-registration-bill-violates-first-amendment-aclu-2023-3
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If passed, the law would also mandate that these bloggers submit monthly reports about their work, outlining how much payment they received, and who paid them. When asked about the bill, Brodeur told the website Florida Politics he thinks “paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk.” It’s unclear if DeSantis personally supports Brodeur’s proposed law. In a message to Insider on Friday, a spokesman for DeSantis said the governor’s communications office is “reviewing the bill.” “As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature,” the spokesman told Insider.)

I am White. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. But to make it so that the percentage of those who pass the examinations on their first attempt is proportional base on race, will points be given and/or taken away from examination takers to make that happen based on race?

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ally Financial, Amalgamated Bank, Bank of America, Berkshire Bank, BMO Harris, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Eastern Bank, Fifth Third Bank, First Republic Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, PNC, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, TD Bank, Bancorp, Trillium Asset Management, Truist, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. . .When it comes to transportation, while the leftist airlines—Alaska, American, Southwest, United, and XPO Logistics—cannot refuse to do business based on ideological or religious considerations (the Civil Rights Act prevents that), they are big actors behind the scenes, pushing legislation advancing leftist policies. Thus, American Airlines actively fought against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, while Southwest tries to shut down state laws enhancing election integrity. The major retail giants are also pushing leftism. We’ve seen it with Target, which has been in the forefront of Gay Pride for decades, but it may surprise you to learn that Walmart and Home Depot are also using their economic power to push leftist policies. “For example, 1792 Exchange notes Home Depot ‘advertised flyers to its employees about confronting their ‘white privilege, Christian privilege, heterosexual privilege, able-bodied privilege,’ etc.’” The leftist madness continues with food and beverage companies. We already knew about Ben & Jerry’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and Kellogg’s (with a history of weird progressivism spanning more than 100 years), but you probably didn’t know that McDonald’s and JM Smucker were also on the leftist bandwagon. Again, they sell their products to everyone but use their profits to advance leftist political goals. Finally, we all know about the true biggies: The social media companies, Disney, Hollywood, Google (which was apparently developed with CIA funding). We’re seemingly surrounded.)

— Democrats say that Ex-RNC Chair Michael Steele delivers stark warning over Trump loyalists. I should write a book about those who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being a Trump loyalist. I would focus on those who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. I would focus on those who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. I would focus on those who stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, draft-avoider, gun-owner, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and our ancestor have been in American for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee, has a blunt message for anyone hoping to see improvements within the party in the age of Donald Trump and his “MAGA grifters.” “If you’re waiting for it to get better, it’s not going to happen,” he said while filling in as host of MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes.” “The problem is that Trump’s movement within the party is rotten to the core,” he said. He pointed to the lengths people on the right have gone to court Trump loyalists, such as a new admission from Fox News that the network allowed people it knew to be dangerous liars on the air in order to continue to keep Trump supporters tuned in. He noted that the Trump wing of the party has embraced Jan. 6 rioters as well as characters such as “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, who last week went on a racist tirade urging white people to “get the hell away from Black people,” and Kyle Rittenhouse, the shooter acquitted of murder charges after he killed two unarmed racial justice protesters in 2020. “A rational Republican party would not prop these folks up as heroes,” he said. “But the MAGA Republicans have sold their souls to Trump’s brand of culture-war politics ― and for the RNC, guys like Scott Adams are just another way to fundraise off of grift and grievance.” He urged the party to throw out the “MAGA grifters,” but didn’t seem optimistic that it would happen.)

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

https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-trump-2024-election-gop-challenge-1784049
— Democrats say that DeSantis is preferred to Trump by nearly every key GOP demographic. What demographics a) do you share with both Trump and DeSantis, b) do you share with Trump only, c) do you share with DeSantis only, and d) do you share with neither Trump nor DeSantis? Trump and DeSantis and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, have master’s degrees, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Trump and I are about the same age, German American, Protestant, and draft avoiders. While Trump and DeSantis have degrees from Ivy League universities, I do not. While Trump and DeSantis have children, I have none. Trump has no professional certifications or licenses and DeSantis is an attorney. I have six professional certifications (CPA and Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant) and a professional license (CPA). While Trump and DeSantis have not been union members, I was one for almost 12 years. While Trump and DeSantis have been federal elected officials, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. DeSantis was a Congressman. GAO works for Congress, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. So far, Democrats and RINOs have succeeded in making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) far more than they have succeeding in making Trump and DeSantis pay the price of AA and DEI.

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

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

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/02/27/equity-is-not-equality-its-revenge-n2619980
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.” The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen. MIKE LEE and 2022 Nevada Senate candidate ADAM LAXALT, a longtime DeSantis friend.” Lee was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to the Jan. 6 committee report.)

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

I would focus on those who have known the most about me and my federal career for the longest time. They would include a) Republican U.S. Senators in Illinois, b) Republican U.S. Representatives in northeast Illinois, c) their staff members, d) their campaign managers, and e) candidates for the aforesaid offices. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.

But as some perceptive critics were quick to notice, one key demographic is disproportionately underrepresented: While whites make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s adolescent population, per 2019 Office of Population Affairs numbers, they were only 22 percent of Stanford’s class of 2026.)

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

— Biden Says His Age Is a Legitimate Issue – Taegan Goddard (COMMENT: Starting in 2000 when I was 51 years old and had better health, more energy, and more motivation, for every primary election, I would gather 30 signatures in my precinct on nominating petitions for all of the Republican candidates. But sadly, not any more. Yes, my health is not as good now, I have less energy, and I have less motivation, but more than that, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates who lose primary elections and/or who lose general elections and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for candidate defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for candidate defeats. They do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today. In my defense, I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say that patients worry that IVF treatments could become illegal under abortion bans. My wife and I had many failed IVF tries. There are problems with both my sperm and my wife’s eggs. Nevertheless, since we got married in 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, and especially my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, viciously condemned me, and viciously punished me because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They paint us as being selfish rich DINKs, that is, Dual Income No Kids. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if we had children, had adopted, or had become foster parents, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They have blamed a) what I have done as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, b) the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I have sent out since 2000, c) what I did as the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, d) what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) what I did as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) what I did as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, f) what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and g) what I did as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. They have blamed me for losses suffered by Jim Ryan, Andy Mckenna Jr., Judy Barr Topinka, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford, Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam, Jeanne Ives, Babette Holder, Greg Hart, and many other Republican candidates. What do you say about the aforesaid? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE MTRO BY-LAWS: Section 2. Non-Partisan Elections. The MTRO may endorse candidates in non-partisan elections. The endorsement of a candidate by the MTRO shall require two-thirds (66%) of ballots cast for that race at a duly noticed meeting. All voting members are entitled to vote in all races, regardless of district boundaries. The option of “No Endorsement” shall always be placed on the ballot for each proposed endorsement and shall be counted in the total number of ballots cast. Voting shall be conducted by secret ballot. Candidates for endorsement shall be voted upon individually. An announcement that endorsement(s) will be voted upon must be given within the meeting notice prior to any meeting at which endorsement(s) will be proposed.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Governor, Ron DeSantis had the right to speak in Elmhurst.” To condemn DeSantis is to condemn Republicans. Ever-increasing, Pritzker condemns DeSantis, and therefore, ever-increasingly, Pritzker condemns Republicans.

Soon, under Pritzker, none of the following in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality will be Republicans: elected officials, employees, college graduates, firearm owners, vehicle owners, homeowners, voters, etc.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Ron DeSantis’ dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois. Banning books, playing politics with people’s lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are,” Pritzker wrote on Twitter. “Every candidate hoping to hold public office in the Land of Lincoln should condemn this event.”)

I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and as an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois.

POLITICO FLORIDA
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump demonized the media. DeSantis wants to diminish them. Florida Republicans are seeking to weaken laws protecting journalists.” I should write a book about those who have blamed me and who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most since 2000 for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/23/florida-gop-desantis-proposal-sue-media-00084023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated Legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’ ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN and The Washington Post — media companies he claims are biased against Republicans — as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill. . .Andrade’s proposal incorporates many of the elements DeSantis called for during the roundtable, including: allowing plaintiffs who sue media outlets for defamation to collect attorney’s fees; adding a provision to state law specifying that comments made by anonymous sources are presumed false for the purposes of defamation lawsuits; lowering the legal threshold for a “public figure” to successfully sue for defamation; repealing the “journalist’s privilege” section of state law, which protects journalists from being compelled to do things like reveal the identity of sources in court, for defamation lawsuits.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say: “Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod president calls for excommunicating white nationalists.” I was baptized in 1948 as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised as a MSL, and confirmed as a MSL in 1962. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have used that against me the most. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In my defense, I stress that when the Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete left the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod in 1961, my parents transferred them, me, and my brother to the Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest to stay with the Missouri Synod.

MERRIAM-WEBSTER
— Turn Against
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/turn%20against

DIERSEN COMMENT: Who has had the greatest success in turning people against you? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the greatest success in turning people against me in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 1978. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would devote chapters to those who are the following who my critics/opponents have had the most success in turning against me:

— those who reject the individual responsibility plank in the Republican Party platform
— those who reject the traditional marriage/family plank
— those who reject the right to life plank
— those who reject the immigration plank
— those who reject the illegal drugs plank
— those who reject the Second Amendment plank
— those who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank
— those who paint themselves as being religious, but work against religious people
— those who paint themselves as being conservative, but work against conservatives
— those who paint themselves as being Republican, but work against Republicans
— minorities
— females
— younger people
— LGBTQers
— parents
— veterans
— non-married people
— non-Protestants
— non-German Americans
— those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time
— those who have less money than I have
— those who despise/hate union members
— those who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees
— those who despise/hate American nameplate vehicles and their owners

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money.

I would focus those who ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I would focus on those who have had far more advantages in life than I have had, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my unfairly benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-married, parents, veterans, non-union members, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, those whose ancestor have not been in America for a long time, etc.

I would focus on those who did the most to stop me from being invited to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. I would focus on how they treated me at that event.

I would especially focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect, but who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

I would especially focus on the aforesaid who are currently taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fired his first shot at The College Board when he rejected an advanced placement African American studies course, saying it pushes a political agenda. Now, it seems he was just getting started. Top state officials have reportedly been meeting the founder of a college entrance exam called the Classic Learning Test, considered an “alternative” to The College Board’s SAT. . .Tate said the SAT has become “increasingly ideological.” He blamed test writers who “censored the entire Christian-Catholic intellectual tradition” and other “thinkers in the history of Western thought.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis Visits 3 States on Tour Meant to Show He Is Tough on Crime. In stops in New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, the Florida governor appeared to be positioning himself as the law-and-order candidate in a G.O.P. presidential race he has yet to enter.”

— COMMENT: Democrats say “How to Prepare for a Possible Layoff.” My Democrat GAO superiors misled me to believe that they were going to let me work until I was eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would be 55 years old. But they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. If I had been one or more of the aforesaid, I would not have complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination. I would not have become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

https://www.denverpost.com/2023/02/21/trump-absent-as-iowa-2024-gop-caucus-train-begins-to-roll/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: She (Haley) suggested to an audience of about 200 that gender education need not begin in schools before middle school, marking a contrast with prospective candidate Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor last year signed legislation forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before fourth grade. . .Though several would-be candidates including Trump were in Iowa last year campaigning for midterm candidates, these first impressions at the outset of the GOP presidential primary are important. That’s especially true as many in the GOP wait to see whether DeSantis proceeds with a White House bid.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “After a slow start to caucus campaigning, Republicans start courting Iowa voters.” Do candidates court you? I should write a book about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have not only not courted me as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, but who have a) discouraged me from distributing their campaign literature in my precinct, b) discouraged me from getting locations for their campaign signs in my precinct, c) badmouthed me to the Republican voters in mt precinct, and d) taken other adverse actions against me.

WFMJ
— COMMENT: Democrats ask “What is India’s caste system?” and ” Is it contentious in U.S.?” and “Caste is an ancient system of social hierarchy based on one’s birth.” What Caste level were you born into? My Caste level was lower because neither of my parents attended college, because my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and because my mother never attended high school. Further, my father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.

CBS NEWS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Full Disclosure” and ask “What Is It And Would It Help Or Hinder Journalism?” I am a journalist and I fully disclose that I am conservative and Republican. What do you say to journalists who deny that they are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, or RINO, but whose work shows that they are? What do you say to such journalists whose work shows that they are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-heterosexual, anti- traditional marriage, anti-financial success, anti-homeownership, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, anti-etc. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

WIKIPEDIA
— Journalist (COMMENT: I am a conservative Republican journalist. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I have always fully disclosed that. What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) who treat me like I am not a journalist for their own purposes, b) who treat me like I am a journalist for their own purposes, and/or c) who hint/imply/argue/shout that you cannot be a journalist if you are conservative or Republican? I should write a book about that. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken and/or are taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

E RELEASES
— Media advisory (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I did not get a media advisory for the “invitation only” Elmhurst DeSantis event until after I requested one from the DeSantis campaign. I should write a book about those involved in the event who know me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters very well and who could have and who should have assured that I got a media advisory, but who failed/refused to do so. I would focus on how they treated me at the event. I would focus on those who treated me like they did not want me there. I would focus on those who treated me like I was not a member of the news media. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) discourage/stop me from speaking with attendees and b) discouraged/stopped me from speaking with attendees. I would focus on how they have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect in my role as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I would focus on those who curry favor with the Democrat news media by failing/refusing to send me media advisories. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I promote an event, the more protesters show up. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who not only reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, but promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.ereleases.com/pr-fuel/press-release-vs-media-advisory/
(FROM THE POSTING: A media advisory alerts the media, in a concise manner, to upcoming events (like a press conference). Think of it like an invitation that answers only the important questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. . .The purpose of a media advisory is to announce an upcoming event they may want to attend or cover, such as a press conference, forum, rally, or event to convince them it is worth reporting on. It should be issued 3-5 days in advance of that event. The goal of a media advisory is to give them the information they need to determine whether that event is worth their time to attend, cover, or report on and to convince them to do so.)
