— Democrats say “Potential candidates can start circulating petitions Tuesday as election year officially gets underway.” What offices will be on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Which candidates are running for those offices? What do you know about those candidates? How much does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain know about those candidates? Starting in 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I would circulate petitions in my precinct for all the Republican primary candidates. Typically, I would get 30 signatures for each candidate. But I am increasingly discouraged from doing that because too many candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. Most commonly, they demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being far too conservative, and therefore, the more that I do to help elect a candidate in a primary, if that candidate wins that primary, the more votes that candidate will lose in the general election. They hint/imply/argue/shout that candidates who I help win Republican primary elections are too conservative to win general elections. Further, candidates routinely get copies of the petitions that their opponents filed and look for anything that they can use against their opponents. They especially look to see who circulated petitions for their opponents and what they can use about those circulators against their opponents. Beyond my being demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being far too conservative, my demographics are terrible: White, male, older, draft-avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America for a long time, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 26 years, and someone who fights against the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The more that candidates are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs, the more that they do not want me to circulate their petitions. In my defense, political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform, The Republican Party platform in conservative. If you are not going to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE & CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— America Overrun, America Transformed – Phillip Linderman (COMMENT: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly illegally flood America with citizens of foreign countries a) who have demographics that vote for Democrats and b) who can/will take low-paid jobs, that is, people who need/want massive government assistance, that is, those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/america-overrun-america-transformed/
https://cis.org/Linderman/America-Overrun-America-Transformed
(FROM THE ARTICLE: By the end of four years in power, the Biden administration will almost surely have admitted over 10 million illegal immigrants. Todd Bensman’s Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History is an essential book for understanding this migrant maelstrom. Reading his analysis of the unfolding border catastrophe can be wrenching, even infuriating, but conservatives need to grapple with a historic disaster, and the valuable material presented in this important book. Overrun is a fire-bell ringing in the night. A White House that erases national borders, ignores federal laws, and refuses to expel illegal arrivals is on a mission to fundamentally change the country. While the country’s situation is dire, even desperate, Overrun also offers crucial policy fixes, most notably the need to “tear down and rebuild the American asylum system.” Few people know more about Biden’s disastrous policies than Bensman, a former intelligence official for the Texas Department of Public Safety, a border-security analyst, and an award-winning investigative journalist. As the reader would expect, Overrun examines much public policy, but it is also filled with human-interest stories based on the author’s field interviews with migrants, criminal operatives, and officials, both honest and corrupt. Bensman’s field research is unmatched; in compiling this book, the author dodged death threats and criminal gangs in his travels to the boondocks across Mexico and Central America. Overrun is not “anti-immigrant.” Recounting his own family’s immigration history, Bensman writes with humanity about the many migrants he interviewed. But he also understands that concentrating on individual human dramas, as establishment journalists always do, obscures the true national tragedy: the unlawful and reckless federal government actions at the center of these historic events. More than anything, Overrun details the Biden administration’s unprecedented, corrupt mismanagement of our country’s frontier. Government corruption is not just about gaining illicit financial profit; it is also about systematically upending rule of law by neglecting to enforce statutes and regulations, and issuing unlawful executive orders — exactly the strategy Biden officials are using to bypass Congress and force their radical immigration agenda on the nation.)

— Young Men Lean Right as Ideological Gap Between Sexes Widens – Luis Miguel (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following who have moved the furthest to the left since 2000: Republican a) activists, b) elected officials, c) party leaders, d) candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, e) conservative leaders, and f) religious leaders.

https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/young-men-lean-right-as-ideological-gap-between-sexes-widens/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the 1970s, the group Monitoring the Future has kept track of where young people fit on the political spectrum. Over the last three years, their survey results have shown that approximately one-fourth of high school senior boys identify as “conservative” or “very conservative.” By contrast, 13 percent of boys surveyed identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.” In other words, nearly twice as many boys in their senior year are conservative than are liberal. This has not always been the case. In past eras, such as the early 2000s, liberal high school boys outnumbered conservatives in Monitoring the Future’s surveys. And during the days of the Jimmy Carter administration, both boys and girls swung left. But the shift of young men to the right is more notable in light of the much more dramatic shift of young women to the left. Per Monitoring the Future’s polling, the percentage of high school senior girls who identify as “liberal” or “very liberal” rose from 19 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in 2022. In last year’s survey, only 12 percent of girls said they were conservative — half the percentage of boys. This suggests a growing ideological gap between the sexes, with men becoming increasingly conservative and women increasingly liberal.)

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

She stayed home and raised us. She never attended high school. After her husband died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, she earned a graduate equivalency diploma and got a job in a dental office. To paint my father as having been filthy rich, my critics/opponents have always stressed that he made enough money so that she 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. He had less money a) because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and had to pay the high cost of insulin and b) because he sent me and my brother on parochial grade schools. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. But because he had diabetes, he never attended college. Because of the aforesaid, I had to work my way through college and I did work my way through college.

— Democrats say “SAT test canceled at three Chicago sites. Imagine studying all summer for a college admission test, only to be told the test is canceled.” My critics/opponents are nasty/vicious. The biggest decisions that I made in my life include a) going to college, b) taking college preparatory courses in high school, c) getting the best ACT score that I could, and d) graduating in the upper 20% of my class. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the real reason for the aforesaid was my wanting to avoid the Vietnam draft. In my defense, starting while I was in grade school, my outstanding father frequently decried his not having a college degree. He had brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. Everyone discouraged him from going to college arguing that the stress of trying to get a college degree would kill him. They succeeded in getting him to take stenography courses in high school. The best job that he could get was working in the office of a nasty chemical plant in northeast (downwind) Chicago Heights. He never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs (playing music, selling hot dogs, delivering eggs) to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevrolet. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

In 1974, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors not only disallowed my travel vouchers, they hinted/implied that my vouchers were fraudulent. Of course, that ended my IRS career. The National Treasury Employees Union and GAO came to my defense and I eventually won in 1977. (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) But by then, they had forced the IRS manager to transfer to Texas who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Their efforts to get rid of me rendered worthless a) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. The aforesaid forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. I would not have had to suffer the aforesaid adverse actions if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.

CITIES 92.9
— This Is the Largest Gunmaker in Illinois – Samuel Stebbins
https://www.cities929.com/2023/08/25/this-is-the-largest-gunmaker-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is the single largest civilian firearm market in the world. A recent Gallup poll found that 45% of Americans have a gun in their home. And many of those households have more than one, as the U.S. is the only country with more privately-owned guns than people. Whether for hunting, target shooting, personal protection, or home defense, consumer demand for firearms in the U.S. fuels a $32.1 billion a year industry. And across the country, companies are cashing in. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives reported that over 13.3 million firearms were manufactured in the U.S. for the domestic market in 2021. (Here is a look at which Americans own the most guns: a survey of all 50 states.) According to the ATF, there are more than 3,200 federally licensed firearm production plants in the U.S., and 43 of them are operating in Illinois. Between them, a total of 647,423 firearms were manufactured in the state in 2021. No company made more firearms in Illinois that year than Springfield Inc. Through a production facility in Geneseo, the company produced a reported 590,750 guns – or 91.2% of all firearms made in the state in 2021.)

Because of that, constructively, for federal employees who are conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, their mandatory retirement age is when they become eligible to retire. I have all of the aforesaid demographics. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45 years old in 1993. GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors finally succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when it expired on September 30, 1997. If I had not taken it by then, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. They made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me. I believed that if I had refused their “offer,” my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrats say “Judge asks if poverty qualifies for Biden policy letting migrants from 4 countries into US.” There is poverty in all the countries of the world. Just because someone wants to flee poverty in a foreign country does not mean that they want America to succeed. Ever-increasingly, those who come to America need/want massive government assistance. Ever-increasingly, they demonstrate that they are voting/will vote for Democrats. The Democrat Party platform promotes a) poverty, b) crime, c) socialism, then communism, and then dictatorship, d) dependency on government and charity, e) LGBTQ, f) abortion, g) mass/illegal immigration, h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, i) abolition of the Second Amendment, j) patronage, k) political affiliation discrimination, l) reverse discrimination, m) age discrimination, and n) even worse things.

They ignored, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had 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, b) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) that much of what I did for IRS would be very similar to what I would be doing for GAO. They stressed that I had been forced to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.

— Democrats say “Feeling the heat, without Trump.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/24/feeling-the-heat-without-trump-00112719
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois was criticized for having a low credit rating — even below Chris Christie’s New Jersey. Sen. Tim Scott attacked Illinois, California and New York for allowing late-term abortions. Crime in Chicago came up a few times, including during a discussion about lockdowns during the pandemic. And Ramaswamy twice mentioned the South Side, saying instead of funding Ukraine, the government should help the Chicago neighborhood. Ramaswamy even described himself as “a skinny kid with a funny name.” Hey, that’s Barack Obama’s line! Christie would use the line to attack Ramaswamy on Obama-era policies. Gov. JB Pritzker responded to one of the attacks this way: “Pretty sure a vast majority of voters would be just fine if abortion policy was left up to Illinois,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. A few take-aways from Illinoisans seated in the arena: Sue Rezin, the Illinois state senator, liked Ron DeSantis’ “common-sense approach” to government, saying, “it demonstrates that he’s able to comprehend and tackle the important issues that are crushing hard-working families and threatening our national security.” Ashvin Lad, an entrepreneur, was “surprised at how little” the other candidates went after DeSantis, instead focusing their attacks on Ramaswamy. (Us, too, Ashvin.) Pat Brady, the former Illinois GOP leader saw Nikki Haley as “the clear choice,” adding, “Trump lite isn’t going to carry the day.” It was a reference to Ramaswamy and DeSantis. And Jim Durkin, the former Illinois House Republican leader: “Christie said what had to be said about Trump — calling him out for saying Putin is a genius and savvy for the invasion.” It prompted boos from the crowd, a reminder that Trump is still an integral part of the GOP, whether he’s on the stage or not. . .Some Chicago Republicans gathered at the Billy Goat Inn on Madison Avenue in Chicago Wednesday night to watch the Republican presidential debate. They took a straw poll. The winner: Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent of the vote, followed by Ron DeSantis at 22.5 percent; Mike Pence at (?) percent; Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum and Chris Christie, all at 2.5 percent; and Asa Hutchinson, zip. Some of the notables in the room: Chicago Republican Chair and Ward Committeeman Steve Boulton (32nd), former mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti and Nicki Fioretti, ward committee leaders Brian Kasal (43rd), Laura Kotelman (44th), Barry Bebart (39th), Steve Graves (19th), Wayland Johnson (9th), Chris Myers (28th), Evan Kasal (25th), Chicago Young Republicans President Lenny Sklaney, Surus LLC’s Barrett Davie and Chicago GOP Executive Director Jeff Fiedler.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fast Facts Crime, China, Ukraine, fentanyl, education and more topics questioned at the first Republican debate of the 2024 presidential race. Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked from all sides with former Vice President Mike Pence calling him a “rookie,” and suggesting he was “too young” to be president. When questioned about supporting Ukraine, Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis said they would prioritize the U.S. southern border. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not raise his hand when asked if he would support Trump if he is convicted on criminal charges and becomes the Republican presidential nominee. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared to raise his hand, then later clarified that he would not support Trump as a nominee if he were convicted.)

I am especially thankful for the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him. I am especially thankful for the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and who finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him.

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH A PHOTO OF MCLAUGHLIN: Democrats say “Arlington Heights hires lobbyists on Bears tax-break bill.” According to my critics/opponents, I have always been far too conservative, and because of that, the more that I do to help elect Republican candidates, the more votes that those candidates lose. McGlaughlin ran Roskam’s campaign against Duckworth 2006. My critics/opponents shouted at McGlaughlin that what I was doing a) as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, b) as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman since 2005, c) as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member since 2003, and d) as a DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 was causing Roskam to lose. According to my critics/opponents, I painted Roskam as being far more conservative than they wanted him to be painted. They cringed that I got 25 homeowners in my precinct to display signs for Roskam. Of course. my critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230822/its-come-to-kind-of-a-critical-point-arlington-heights-hires-lobbyists-on-bears-tax-break-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The $10,000-per-month retainer with Mac Strategies Group — as outlined in a consultant agreement approved 8-0 by the village board — gives village hall a seat at the increasingly crowded suburban stadium bargaining table involving other lobbyists, politicians and attorneys. . .The firm is led by Ryan McLaughlin, a political and media operative who launched the business in 2008 and has counted Elk Grove Village and Rosemont among his municipal clients. Former Palatine Republican state Sen. Matt Murphy joined the firm as a senior consultant in 2016.)

They stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and that my ACT score was only 24. My Democrat superiors in the federal government ignored, dismissed, belittled, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the job-related degrees that I earned in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997.  In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats say “Republican leaders talk mail-in voting push, gaining suburban votes at Illinois State Fair.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Republican candidates and party leaders should stress the Republican Party platform including its law enforcement, individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They should stress the tremendous damage caused by the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms including crime, poverty, dependency on government and charity, destruction of traditional marriage and family, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They should stress that while Trump was President, he did more to defend and advance the Republican Party platform than either Bush.

Illinois Republicans on Thursday vowed they are rebuilding and trying to gear up support in the suburbs ahead of next year’s elections — and most are steering clear of delving into the effects of former President Donald Trump’s fourth criminal indictment.” Trump? Who’s he? GOP focuses on rebuilding at State Fair — not party’s indicted presidential frontrunner. Most Illinois Republicans didn’t mention the party’s indicted presidential frontrunner by name. “Why is it always about Donald Trump?” Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie asked reporters. “Here we are in Illinois. Let’s talk about Illinois.”

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old so that they could give him my job and my preferred corner office, and that is exactly what they did. They would not have done that if I had was a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done that if I had not been an active member since 1988 in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/the_problem_with_crossing_that_line.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in the last week of the Clinton presidency, there were concerns about the legal status of President Clinton once he left Washington. Could he have been indicted by, say Arkansas, for lying in a courtroom? In the end the issue was resolved and Clinton admitted wrongdoing, paid a fine and lost his law license. Maybe you remember the headline: In a Deal, Clinton Avoids Indictment. Today, the Democrats have thrown the DoJ and now a Georgia DA at President Trump.

EPOCH TIMES
— Biden Admin Working to Bring Racial Equity to Towns, Suburbs. HUD says local communities must take action to ‘affirmatively further’ diversity. – Kevin Stocklin (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that the higher the percentage of Whites who are in your state, county, township, municipality, and/or school district, the higher the percentage of Republicans are there who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Since 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have stressed that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, a) no Blacks lived there, b) it was overwhelmingly Protestant, and c) it was overwhelmingly German American. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/us/analysis-biden-admin-working-to-bring-racial-equity-to-towns-suburbs-5471333
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Actions by the Biden administration to expand racial equity are making their way into America’s suburbs and towns. The Department of Housing and Development (HUD) is implementing a new program that would compel any town, city, or county that accepts federal housing grants to “proactively take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities, and foster inclusive communities free from discrimination.” The program, called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), is a reinstatement of HUD’s 2015 AFFH Rule, originally introduced by the Obama administration but repealed in 2020 by the Trump administration, which criticized the policy’s “onerous burden on localities and federal overreach into local housing policy.” Under the Biden policy, “in order to qualify for community development block grant funds, [communities] have to prepare and submit a plan to demonstrate that they are ‘affirmatively furthering fair housing,’” Howard Husock, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “The Poor Side of Town,” a critique of American housing policies, told The Epoch Times. “They will have to pass muster with regulators at HUD, who will review the steps they’re taking and decide whether they measure up.” Among the things that HUD will look for, Mr. Husock said, is if low-income housing “is being built in ‘high-opportunity neighborhoods’; is it being built close to high-performing schools; is close to libraries or supermarkets; with public facilities being located in ways that best serve those of a low income.” According to a statement by HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, “Hardworking families are blocked from purchasing homes because of the color of their skin.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Ready, set, go! Politicians gearing up for 2024 races descend on Illinois State Fair – Patrick Keck (COMMENT: I have always been conservative. I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999. I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000. I started attending Republican Days and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee meetings, and Illinois Republican County Chairman’s Association meetings at State Fairs and reporting on them in 2000. I started attending IRP State Conventions as a delegate in 2000. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. But because conservatives are ever-increasingly unwelcome at Republican Days, I have stopped attending them.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/08/16/dems-gop-look-to-sparkle-2024-excitement-at-illinois-state-fair/70594450007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next two days at the Illinois State Fair will feature political rallies led by both political parties as the countdown to next year’s election season marches forward. Democrats will kick off action on Wednesday with Governor’s Day and Republicans follow on Thursday. Outside of the fair, the parties will hold meetings in downtown Springfield including the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch at the Bank of Springfield Center. There, Illinois Democrats will be joined by guest speaker U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, starting at 9 a.m. before heading to the fairgrounds. Republican’s time on the Director’s Lawn will be preceded with several events, among them the Republican County Chairs’ Association president reception on Wednesday before a joint meeting with RCCA and the State Central Committee Thursday morning at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. For Democrats and Republicans alike, the fair days and meetings provide opportunities to build up its campaign finance war chests heading into 2024. No statewide candidates will be featured in next year’s election, but votes for president, U.S. Congress, the Illinois House of Representatives and a handful of state Senate seats among other local races will take place. The political days fall just more than seven months away from the March primary, but also less than three weeks from when candidates can begin circulating nomination papers. Congressional, state legislature and other local candidates begin this process on Sept. 5. Presidential candidates start on Oct. 27. All candidates have until Dec. 4 to file the papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections. . .Illinois Republicans have their work cut out for them, not holding power in any of the state’s three branches of government in addition to a smaller pool of political backers for major campaign funding. The state fair represents an opportunity for the party to make up ground in the funding battle and later support its candidates come election time. Who the party chooses to back for the White House has not been clear at this point, but it could have to put its weight behind a familiar name. National polls indicate if the presidential election were to take place today, it would be a 2020 rematch of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Already not a popular figure in Illinois, losing the state by more than 15 points in both 2016 and 2020, Trump is coming off his fourth indictment this time for allegedly tinkering with 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictments of the former commander-in-chief have prompted varying responses from GOP lawmakers in the state, some of which have pledged continued support to Trump and others to say move on. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has claimed investigations led by the U.S. Department of Justice into Trump have been politically motivated. “The American people will not tolerate this attack from Biden’s DOJ on our electoral process or our system of justice, where justice is supposed to be blind,” she said in a statement earlier this month. The party’s 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Darren Bailey, rose in prominence among Republicans before the primary thanks in part to an endorsement from the former president. Still, he and other candidates speaking at last year’s fair were mum on Trump and instead focused on what they described as failures by Democrats to control crime and spending. That backing from Trump, in the end, proved in some ways to bite Bailey in the general election where Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker won a second term with comfortable margins.)

UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU in 1969 when I was 20, Loyola in 1972 when was 23, DePaul in 1976 when I was 27, and IIT in 1992 when I was 43; but because of my many aforesaid bad demographics, they would not admit me today if I was 18, 20, 23, or 43.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could never be corrected to 20/20. I have always had partial red/green color blindness. Since grade school I have not been able to run because a bone disease. Because my parents lacked money, I had to work my way through college.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Those on the left have always argued that those who are in the majority discriminate against those who are in the minority. Ever-increasingly, a) those on the left are the majority and b) they discriminate against those on the right. Ever-increasingly, those on the left are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, have more money than others, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, those on the right are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, have less money than others, Christian, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about a) those who are on the left in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton and b) who discriminate against those on the right in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus in those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I could not run because I had a bone disease. I washed dishes for the minimum wage during my junior and senior years and the summer in between.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/naperville-gun-dealer-appeals-to-us-supreme-court-to-lift-assault-weapon-ban
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the battle over assault weapons in Illinois heats up, gun supporters are coming to the aid of a west suburban firearms dealer. A rally and fundraiser was held Sunday at Law Weapons in Naperville. The owner says he’s lost 85% of his business since both the state and Naperville banned the sale of assault weapons. Robert Bevis says he’s had to lay off employees and max out his credit cards to keep his store open. Bevis is suing Naperville and the state, saying the assault weapon ban is unconstitutional. “They’re infringing upon our Second Amendment rights. They’re causing due harm to every citizen that has the right to own a firearm in this state. And they’re costing people’s lives by not allowing them to get the firearms they’d like to,” Bevis said. On Friday, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban. Bevis is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and issue an injunction lifting the ban on assault weapon sales.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-mother-jones-jane-byrne-statue-chicago-mag-mile-20230813-uliboub5xfcl3gm2gffngmjjf4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After a bloody clash over the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago’s Grant Park, then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot tasked a special commission with reviewing the city’s public monuments in what she said was “a racial healing and historical reckoning project.” . . . Public monuments have been a subject of spirited debate across the country for years, including in Chicago. Amid a national discussion about race in America in 2020, Columbus came under renewed scrutiny as statues across the U.S. were pulled down and local governments stopped celebrating the holiday in his name. Though Chicago was one of the cities where the monuments were lifted, Lightfoot at first resisted their removal and insisted afterward that the Grant Park statue should eventually return.)

They bring attention to news and commentary that promote the a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage and family, c) right to life, d) immigration, e) illegal drugs, f) Second Amendment, and g) equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. The newsletters discourage Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party promotion of a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. If the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, Republican township and ward party organizations, Republican elected officials, conservative leaders and activists, and religious leaders and activists did what they should be doing, there would be no need for GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and Republicans would be the majority in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/04/white-house-purges-442-reporters-using-new-press-credential-rules/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday. The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas was among the reporters slated to lose his White House press credentials, although he was given a 10-day extension “to submit the required materials.” The White House now requires reporters to obtain press credentials from Congress or the Supreme Court to fulfill its new requirement; Lucas is currently awaiting a decision on his applications to the other branches. Politico’s West Wing Playbook first reported the numbers Wednesday along with news that Simon Ateba, the White House correspondent for Today News Africa, lost his hard pass. Ateba, along with the other 441 reporters who no longer have credentials, won’t be able to attend White House press briefings or access the sprawling Pennsylvania Avenue campus unless they obtain what’s called a temporary day pass. The White House announced new rules in May to limit the number of journalists who are eligible for a White House hard pass. Reporters are still allowed to apply for a day pass, but they must do so daily and undergo Secret Service review. Up until this week, the White House didn’t disclose the number of reporters who had a hard pass. Politico reported, “Within the past three months, the number of hard pass holders dropped from 1,417 to 975, with those approved reflecting a mix of renewals and new applications.” . . . The six rules outlined in the May memo require reporters to be employed full time at an organization that disseminates news, live in the Washington, D.C., area, regularly access and cover the White House, and submit to a Secret Service investigation. They also now require pass holders to first obtain “accreditation by a press gallery in either the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, or Supreme Court.” (See the full email from the White House Press Office at the end of this story.) The memo also gives President Joe Biden’s press team greater power to expel journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” Ateba regularly sparred with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, leading to stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and an appearance on the now-canceled “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Last month, the White House Press Office sent Ateba a warning that he risked expulsion if he continued to interrupt briefings in violation of the new rules.)
