CHICAGO TRIBUNE — FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Illinois is solidly blue” and ask “So why did President Joe Biden’s reelection effort spend so much time here this summer?” Ever-increasingly, it looks like if Biden is not the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate in 2024, it is going to be Pritzker. Pritzker has had great success in Illinois promoting the Democrat Party platform, that is, he has had great success in promoting a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) patronage, h) political affiliation discrimination, i) reverse discrimination, and j) age discrimination. Pritzker has had great success in destroying Illinois Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: a) heterosexual, b) conservative, c) Republican, d) White, e) male, f) older, g) non-poor, h) non-veteran, i) married, j) Protestant, k) German American, and l) those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-joe-biden-illinois-strategy-20230904-ijyxatf7n5dt5glfo5n7itswfi-story.html — Democrats give Republican candidates advice.

DAILY HERALD — I was a union member for almost 12 years. I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. During that time, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

EFFINGHAM DAILY NEWS — Democrats crow that “Pritzker, state leaders call on Biden to allow Illinois to sponsor work permits for migrants.” If there had been as many illegals in America when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. According to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, all the jobs that I got were bad jobs that they would never have stooped to take. But those bad jobs enabled me to a) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, b) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger in 1968, e) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, and f) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970. Further, because illegals drive down wages for bad jobs, even if I had still gotten the jobs that I did, my wages would have been lower and I would not have been able to do the aforesaid. Because my critics/opponents had parents who had way more money than my parents had and did not have to work their way through college, they do not understand or accept the aforesaid.

Sure, there is no shortage of bankers, doctors, and lawyers waving MAGA flags — but they are not the locus of momentum. The true power of the movement, its moral weight and foundation, comes from a working class who has gotten the short end of the stick in every policy decision since the end of the Cold War. Globalization, it was promised, would raise all boats. Open markets, cheap manufacturing, free-flowing capital would benefit the wealthy most, but the working man could get cheaper flat screens at Walmart — so really, it’s a win-win. The value and purpose of work was exported by people who could not understand why having an honest job matters as long as welfare expansion keeps pace with market growth. Who needs a community when we’re all global citizens now, anyway? Today’s labor movement is not asking for anything radical — merely that we return to the type of social contract that we already know works. Yet it is these notions of dignity and patriotism — utterly uncontroversial until a few short years ago — that the modern left fears the most. Conservatives should not run from the movement Trump created. Some may resist out of their own pretensions, but zombie Reaganism is not enough to keep the Republican party alive for much longer. If for no other reason than self-interest, Republicans should embrace the ethos of Labor Day and proudly reclaim it has a conservative holiday. More than that though, they ought to internalize that message and give voice to the constituency most overlooked by both parties. Now we can never go back to the 1950s economy, nor should we seek to. But conservative leaders should heed Grover Cleveland’s lesson: when you ignore the genuine concerns of the masses, you risk fomenting the very radicalism you seek to deter. This time around, Americans will need much more than just another day off.)

They reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action decision. To get votes from those who are minority, female, and/or younger, they want the Republican Party to give them more and more and more preference, that is, they want the Republican Party to get rid of those like me who share Trump’s demographics: a) heterosexual, b) conservative, c) Republican, d) White, e) male, f) older, g) non-poor, h) non-veteran, i) married, j) Protestant, k) German American, and l) those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tim-scott-leading-black-republican-gop-primary-heres-how-talks-race

BET — Democrats crow that “Gen Z Likely Last Generation With White Majority.” Democrats ever-increasingly replace those in America who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats. Overwhelmingly, those who vote for Democrats need/want massive government assistance and are overwhelmingly minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-married, non-Protestant, non-German American, lack education, lack job skills, have major financial, health, and/or other problems and/or are drinkers, gamblers, stoners, and/or criminals. Beyond the aforesaid, limousine liberals vote for Democrats and especially those whose parents had lots of money and even more especially those whose ancestors owned slaves. https://www.bet.com/article/frsepb/white-population-decline-us-census-data (FROM THE ARTICLE: America is aging quickly as Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, become seniors. White Americans constituted a significant portion of that generation, particularly in the 65 to 74 age group. At the same time, the census data indicates that the White American population declined between 2010 and 2020 in age groups below 55. Demographers attributed the White population’s decrease in younger generations to increased births and immigration among people of color, but more significantly, to Baby Boomers entering the senior age ranks.)
CHICAGO TRIBUNE — Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-migrants-chicago-one-year-crisis-asylum-seekers-20230902-gi6ml2dlrjgbrfoheefvbwwweq-story.html — 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. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-election-season-begins-20230901-ivmvk5klnnghbdcaz7dtchmwju-story.html

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.)
NEW AMERICAN — 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. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.) 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.)

WASHINGTON POST — Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) use “democracy” to get rid of Republicans once and for all starting with Republicans who are: heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

BOSTON REVIEW — Democrats and RINOs ask “Is Equal Opportunity Enough?” My critics/opponents a) reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action decision and b) have always rejected the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. To curry favor with those who are liberal, moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, my critics/opponents promote more and more and more discrimination against those who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

They blame me and they blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY — 2020 FLASHBACK: ILGOP State Convention (COMMENT: When is the 2024 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention and where will it be held? Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. From what I see, there will be tremendous pressure at the 2024 IRP State Convention to water down if not to strike the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform. I have served as a delegate at IRP State Conventions since 2000. I have always asked to be appointed to serve on IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committees. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. Only minor changes have been made to the platform since then. I helped fight tremendous efforts to water down the traditional marriage and family plank at the 2016 convention. I hereby officially ask that I be appointed to serve on the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee for the 3rd Congressional District.) https://es-la.facebook.com/ilgop/posts/our-state-convention-website-is-live-would-you-like-to-attend-serve-as-a-delegat/10162967178890099/
DAILY HERALD — Democrats ever-increasingly push more pot. https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20230825/antiochs-first-marijuana-dispensary-expected-to-open-within-45-days — Democrats offer “a free job search workshop series for parents who have taken significant time out of the workforce to provide child care.” My outstanding mother devoted her life to raising me and my brother. 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. https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230825/parents-can-sign-up-for-free-job-search-workshops-with-worknet-dupage
CBS2 — 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. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/video/sat-test-canceled-at-three-chicago-sites/ — Democrats say “Riverside leaders back officer who lost certification over minor theft 15 years ago. Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. 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. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/riverside-police-officer-zenna-ramos-decertified/

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. I would focus on why I believed that my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense.

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.

BLOOMBERG — When were you treated like you were a rookie? GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates rudely treated me like I was a rookie when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old.

Now it must shut its doors for good. “Part of that is around our volunteer capacity, part of that is around our ability to fundraise,” said volunteer Anna DiStefano. . .Insurance issues with the property, lack of funding and staff – many of whom are educators and had to go back to the classrooms with the new school year – all contributed to its closing.)
POLITICO ILLINOIS — 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.)

FORBES — What are you most thankful about concerning your career? For me, it is my not having been born any later than I was. I was born in 1948. Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, employers have used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, and to get rid of those who share my demographics: heterosexual, conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. 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. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecenizalevine/2019/11/24/ten-people-to-be-thankful-for-in-your-career/
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.

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.

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.

AMERICAN THINKER — The problem with crossing that line. – Silvio Canto, Jr. 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. Could this be a case of “be careful what you wish for”?)
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.

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.

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.”)

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.)

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.

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.) — Democrats ever-increasingly promote more abortion. https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-column-republican-miscalculation-abortion-rights-ohio-election-washington-20230814-pzs555ik4zdpxi6ils4o767bsm-story.html

CHICAGO DEFENDER — Ever-increasingly, the longer that your ancestors have been in America and the more of the following that you are, the more that Democrats ever-increasingly demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, and/or German American. https://chicagodefender.com/we-are-not-colorblind/

POWERLINE — CONSEQUENCES OF ERODING MERITOCRACY – JOHN HINDERAKER (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I owe none of my accomplishments in life to meritocracy, but instead I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against LGBTQers, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, unmarried people, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, that he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, that my mother never attended high school, and that I had to work my way through college.) https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/08/consequences-of-eroding-meritocracy.php

THE HILL — Democrats crow that Christie says that GOP made ‘a mistake’ in 2016 in not going after Trump. Who has gone after you? I should write a book about those who have gone after me and why.

Yes, but Only With Some Help.” I bought a new town home in University Park in September of 1972 when I was 24 years old.

VIGOUR TIMES — Democrats acknowledge that “Karine Jean-Pierre faces lawsuit from White House reporter over revoked press pass.” I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.
