DAILY HERALD
— Voters must put end to politicized justice – Andro Lerario, Chairman, Kane County Republican Central Committee
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240609/letters-to-the-editor/voters-must-put-end-to-politicized-justice/
(FROM THE LETTER: The recent conviction of President Trump is a travesty and a stain on our justice system. This verdict raises serious questions, especially given the unclear nature of the charges and the statute of limitations. Many legal experts highlight the politically motivated nature of this prosecution. This attack on President Trump is an attack on every American who believes in fairness and justice. If they can do this to a former president and the 2024 Republican nominee, they can do it to anyone. This is a sad day for our justice system — reminiscent of what you’d expect in Russia, China or North Korea, but not America. A politicized justice system serves no one. Activist prosecutors are using the judiciary for political gain, but the American people see through this. Voters in Illinois and across the country will demand change on Election Day. The weaponization of the judicial system should concern every American and this backlash will lead to a significant red wave in November. President Trump will return stronger than ever. We must fight to restore justice and integrity in our nation.)

— West side organization Broader Urban Involvement and Leadership Development, known as BUILD, fights youth joblessness. – Kay Cesinger (COMMENT: What motivated you to take jobs, including bad jobs, when you were in high school and college? For me, it was having enough money to pay form my college expenses and having new cars to commute from my parents’ home in Crete to classes at UIC and then transferring to NIU. That motivated me to a) wash dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago heights 1964-1966, b) clean golf shoes in Flossmoor and chip slag and pump gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966, c) deliver mail in Park Forest 1966-1969, and d) work on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere in 1970. Those jobs enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 and to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrlE8wIE4x0
— Black Hawk descendent demands Chicago Blackhawks change logo, name (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. How long have your ancestors been in America? The longer that your ancestors have been in America and if you are Republican and conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, and/or German American, the more that Democrats and RINOs blame you for the problems that Native Americans have. If any of your ancestors homesteaded a farm, you are in big trouble. My critics/opponents have always stressed that my ancestors on my father’s side homesteaded a 240-arce farm in Crete Township in 1854. They trace how that resulted in my parents inheriting 1286 Wood Street in Crete in the 1960s, my brother and I inheriting that home in 2016, and my inheriting that home and selling it in 2022.)

— When students graduate debt-free – Lilia Luciano (COMMENT: Did you graduate debt-free? I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I had to work my way through college. My outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home 1966-1968 while I completed courses at UIC, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I worked all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and my GPA suffered because of that. My critics/opponents have always stressed that I never got any scholarships, that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School (CMHS) class, and that my ACT score was only 24. During my junior and senior years at CMHS and the summer in between 1964-1966, instead of studying, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights.)

— Getting organized for your retirement future – Ben Anderson (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, because my Democrat GAO superiors suddenly forced me to take their expiring early retirement “offer,” I had only days to get organized for my retirement future. I had fully expected that they were going to let me work until I was 55 years old in 2003 and eligible for regular retirement. Because my Democrat superiors in federal government had wasted my career and forced me to retire early, my COLA-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension is currently only $65,165/year. By their forcing me to retire early, my Democrat GAO superiors rudely flushed down their toilets a) my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, b) my six job-related professional certifications (Forensic Accountant-1997, Financial Services Auditor-1996, Government Financial Manager-1994, Fraud Examiner-1990, Internal Auditor-1981, and CPA-1979), c) my job-related professional license (CPA-1981), and d) my three job-related master’s degrees (Financial Markets and Trading-IIT-1997, Accounting-DePaul-1980, and Business-Loyola-1976. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988. They would not have done the aforesaid if Newt Gingrich had not dramatically cut GAO’s budget.)

ILLINOIS GOP
— PRESS RELEASE: Rep. LaHood Expose Slave Labor by Gotion CHICAGO — In case you missed it, Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-16) exposed Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion for using slave labor while being connected to the Chinese Communist Party. While receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer funds, companies like Gotion are committing horrific crimes with America’s enemies. Lahood, a member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence called on the United States to ensure that companies follow the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act that prevents products made from Uyghur slave labor from entering the United States. Gotion has ignored that rule by taking taxpayer dollars and working with the CCP.

— Because Democrats ever-increasingly pull out all the stops to defeat Trump, Republicans need to start pulling out all the stops to defeat Biden, that is, Republicans need to start fighting fire with fire. Republicans need to shout what the Democrat strategy is to elect Biden. To get votes from those who do not share Trump’s demographics, Democrats ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout at them that if elected, Biden will give them preference and will get rid of those who share Trump’s demographics. Those who do not share Trump’s demographics are LGBTQ, liberal/moderate, Democrat/Libertarian/Green/Independent/RINO, in America illegally, minority, female, younger, non-rich, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— What career advice do you give? My career advice includes that if you want to work for an employer, find one that accepts your demographics, that believes in your values, and that promotes its employees based on merit. If I had gotten that advice and accepted that advice when I was young, I never would have gone to work for the Democrats who run the federal government. Those Democrats rejected my demographics, they rejected my conservativism, and they promoted their employees because they were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They wasted my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— The Day My Old Church Canceled Me Was a Very Sad Day – David French (COMMENT: Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Crete were founded in 1849 as Missouri Synod Lutheran. My great great grandfather, my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father were all members of the church and attended its school. But in 1961, when my father was one of its leaders, its pastor, rather than accepting a calling from a Wisconsin Synod Church, succeeded in a) switching the church and school to the Wisconsin Synod and b) driving out the church its members who wanted to stay with the Missouri Synod. Because of that, in 1961, when I was in 8th grade, to stay with the Missouri Synod, my father transferred our family to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest. To accommodate that, Hope Lutheran created a new 8th grade for me and 7 others. The aforesaid had a tremendous impact on me.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton continue to treat me as if I was a disgusting newcomer. They stress that I have lived in Wheaton only since 1978, that I never attended any schools in Wheaton, that I never raised any children in Wheaton, that I have never worked in Wheaton, that I have never been a member of a church in Wheaton, that I have never attended church services in Wheaton, that I have never given money to a church in Wheaton, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, that I was raised as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and that I am German American. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “too conservative.” I would focus on those who ever-increasingly paint themselves as being anti-conservative, anti-Republican, and/or anti-Trump.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: What encourages people to vote for Republicans? ANSWER: The poverty, crime, and even worse things that the following planks in the Democrat Party platform bring forth: a) welfare, that is, dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and family, c) abortion, that is, disrespect for human life, d) mass/illegal immigration, that is, the destruction of America, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, that is, the destruction of America, f) gun control, that is, the abolition of the Second Amendment, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and the end of meritocracy.
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats run the federal government and use Affirmative Action and DEI to get rid of Republicans. What career limiting things did you do? I avoided the draft. I became a federal employee and stayed one. I did not become a Democrat. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 that charged my Democrat superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Because of the aforesaid, my Democrat superiors in the federal government took many big adverse actions against me and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. Because of the aforesaid, I filed a lawsuit against my Democrat superiors for political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in 1998. – Dave Diersen

SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 and https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11-0 But by then, my IRS career was ruined even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

ECONOMIST
— Changes to China’s gaokao exam are about politics, not fairness. Extra points for minority students are going away. (COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have decried my passing tests including the tests I passed a) to get hired by the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, b) to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, c) to become a CPA in 1979 and a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and d) to become a licensed CPA in 1981. They have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed the aforesaid tests because I unfairly benefitted tremendously from tremendous discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, etc. 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, and that my mother attended high school.)
https://www.economist.com/china/2024/06/06/changes-to-chinas-gaokao-exam-are-about-politics-not-fairness
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Starting on June 7th millions of young people will sit for the world’s largest academic test. China’s university-entrance exam, known as the gaokao, is punishingly difficult. Students spend endless hours cramming for it. But it is also meant to be meritocratic. Work hard, score well and, no matter what your social background, you can get into a good college. Yet the test is administered in ways that do not seem so meritocratic. Local governments are allowed to produce their own versions of the gaokao, with different questions and scoring methods. Students in elite cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, enjoy an easier route into local universities, which include some of the country’s finest.)

PR NEWSWIRE
— Start sending releases with the largest and most trusted content distribution network (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) should issue press releases each and every day that show that the Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime and that the Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The IRP should focus on the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Constructively, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters do what the IRP should be doing. What the mainstream news media puts out a) is a summary of Democrat Party press releases and b) editorials made to look like news articles.)

— Two teens’ promising futures end on Eisenhower Expy. — allegedly struck by drunk driver. Erik C. Cox and Shealyn Sherwood, both 18, were killed when Ashanti Gates’ car struck them in the outbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway early Sunday, prosecutors said. The teens had stopped to fix a flat tire. – Matthew Hendrickson and Emmanuel Camarillo (COMMENT: When you were in high school, did you have a “promising future,” 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. Because they did not have money to pay my college expenses, if I was accepted by a college, I would have to work my way through college. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My vision could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I got accepted by UIC. My brother was not so fortunate I believe because he was wrongly held back in first grade.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What does your political future look like for you? My political future looks ever-increasingly bleak. I fully anticipate/expect that anti-Diersen leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) will do more and more and more to get one of my Republican voters in my precinct to run against me and defeat me for my precinct committeeman position. Recently a DCRCC leader angrily/rudely told me that she had thrown my April 2024 precinct letter in the trash. A copy of that precinct letter is at the end of this newsletter. They will do more and more and more a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will build on their past successes including: a) removing me from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, b) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) ending my role as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) steering Committee membership in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors membership in 2004. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: What emboldens people to take adverse actions against other people? ANSWER: They believe that they can get away with it. They have more power than their victims. They know that their victims forgive those who trespass against them. I should write a book about those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial power in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who most vehemently oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members. Should I abandon my policy of forgiving those who take adverse actions against me? – Dave Diersen

They have always stressed the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me. They have always stressed the adverse actions that my superiors in the federal government took against me.

https://abc7chicago.com/post/mayor-brandon-johnson-local-leaders-raise-progress-pride/14906569/
— Democrats ever-increasingly use Juneteenth to promote more hatred against Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in promoting hatred against Republicans. I became eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I was able to survive another 4 years before my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave by Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. If there had been as much Democrat-generated hatred within GAO against Republicans back then as there is now, they would have succeeded in forcing me to retire much sooner. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 even though I had earned my third job-related master’s degree and my sixth job-related professional certification that year. Previously, I had earned job related professional certifications in 1996,1994,1990, 1981, and 1979 and I had earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

— After Would-Be Illinois GOP Candidates Sue, Judge Considering Whether Slated Candidates Can Appear on November Ballot – Hannah Meisel (COMMENT: U.S. President was the only contested Republican primary race in my precinct. One office would have been “no candidate” if it had not been filled by write-in. As Democrats ever-increasingly run Illinois, anticipate/expect fewer and fewer and fewer candidates will run as Republicans. Further, anticipate/expect that fewer and fewer and fewer of them will be conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://news.wttw.com/2024/06/03/after-would-be-illinois-gop-candidates-sue-judge-considering-whether-slated-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sangamon County judge is weighing whether to block a new state law that bans the long-practiced tradition of political parties slating candidates for a general election after sitting out of a primary race. Democrats who control the General Assembly pushed the measure through the legislative process and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed it into law in a matter of days last month, arguing that slating is unfair to voters who didn’t get a say in a primary contest. Several would-be Republican candidates then sued over the law, claiming it’s unfair to ban the practice in the middle of an election cycle.)

— Speaker Mike Johnson’s Illinois swing – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/06/03/speaker-johnsons-illinois-swing-00161230
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PEORIA, Illinois: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson headlined the annual Peoria-Tazewell Lincoln Day Dinner, where he railed on the guilty verdicts against Donald Trump and pumped up the IL-17 congressional race. It was a scene: More than 400 Republican attendees gathered to hear Johnson speak at the Four Points by Sheraton Peoria. Reporters weren’t allowed into the ballroom, but Johnson did speak to us before the event. On Trump: Johnson said, “He is not just our nominee, not just an individual running for president. I think now he’s seen as a symbol, a symbol of one who is willing to fight back against that corruption, the deep state and all the rest.” Here’s POLITICO’s full report with quotes from Illinois Republicans Joe Walsh, Jeanne Ives, Rhonda Belford and Jim Rule. During the presser: Johnson stood with Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-16) and Joe McGraw, a retired judge who’s challenging incumbent Democratic Congressman Eric Sorensen in the IL-17 District in November.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: Democrat Fear Mongering Reaches Absurdity. CHICAGO — Last week, Illinois Congressman Eric Sorensen, declared that our economy would shut down in THREE days if we secure our border. “The economy of the United States would end in 3 days. We have 3 days of what we need in the United States, so if we just shut down the entire southern border, it would be to the detriment of our country.” – Eric Sorensen Bottom Line: Our southern border is a national security threat as we’ve seen record crossings of migrants after Biden’s reversal of the Trump Administration border policies. We can’t afford naive, fear-mongering Democrats like Sorensen that vote against legislation to secure our border and destroy the Republican agenda to secure our border.

The rainbow’s ever-increasing colors will be inescapable. We will see it in the news. We’ll see it at Target. We’ll see it in Walmart. We’ll see it in our public parks and at our schools. We’ll see it in our theaters. We’ll see it on T-shirts, umbrellas, bumper stickers, and even at our churches. Pride, pride, pride! This is the singular message that silences all others. Say it with me and say it over and over again: “We are loud and are proud!” If you refuse to do so, you’re a bigot.)

— The psychology of anger and aggression – Dean Burnett (COMMENT: The more demographics that you share with a person, that more that you are presumed to support that person. Anticipate/expect that the more demographics that you share with Trump, the faster/more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will destroy you. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, draft-avoider, married, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. I share all the aforesaid demographics with Trump. Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters and their operatives and their dupes have a) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, b) ended my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, c) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and d) removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024.)
https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2013/aug/06/anger-aggression-psychology-screw-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: However, it’s often difficult to do anything about these frustrations, so it’s likely to result in displaced aggression. This is where you can’t respond to the thing that’s frustrating you due to it being unavailable or, more frustratingly, something or someone who has the greater ability to harm you if you react. The arousal of anger doesn’t dissipate quickly, so it’s often transferred to less deserving but more convenient targets.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois Republicans slam Trump conviction. ‘Stalin would be proud’ said state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich. Even more moderate Illinois Republicans who don’t support the former president said they were “troubled” by the case that resulted in a conviction on 34 felony counts in New York. – Mitchell Armentrout
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/05/31/donald-trump-hush-money-conviction-illinois-republicans-reaction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a state where Donald Trump has divided many Republicans, Illinois GOP leaders were united in their condemnation of the former president’s conviction for falsifying business records, blasting what they deemed a “sham trial,” a “fraud case” — and downright “chicken s—.” Soon after a New York jury on Thursday found the presumptive GOP presidential nominee guilty in a hush-money case, Illinois Republican Party chairman Don Tracy called it “a political prosecution the likes of which occur in banana republics but not previously in these United States.” “Democrat activist investigators and prosecutors have relentlessly hounded President Trump for years,” Tracy said in a statement. “This weaponization of the judicial system has weakened our country here and in the eyes of the world, which I’m sure President Biden will savor while he vacations in Delaware as his handlers make critical decisions for the country.” Illinois Republican National Committee member Richard Porter, who has criticized Trump — and who backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential primary — accused Democrats of “perverting the judicial system for political purposes.” “Everyone sees what happened in Manhattan, the second most Democrat county in the nation — where Democrat prosecutors are trying to take his money, with a fraud case in which no one was defrauded, and take his liberty with a criminal case in which no crime was committed,” Porter said in an email. “It’s just another example of how Democrats turn all institutions against the people they are supposed to be serving. Democrats will rue the day that they chose this path,” he said, suggesting President Joe Biden could face prosecution down the line. “There are many, many more Republican county prosecutors than Democrat county prosecutors across the country, and they are watching what the New York County district attorney did and are taking notes,” Porter said. “Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, too.” How will the Biden campaign exploit the Trump hush money guilty verdict? Even self-declared “Never-Trump” Illinois Republicans slammed the verdict, including former Illinois House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, who said he was “troubled by how this case was charged.” “People in Manhattan were looking for a reason to convict. He was low-hanging fruit, based on electoral results in that area,” Durkin said, adding that he thought the case should have been brought to election authorities, not a criminal court. “It’s easy to dislike Donald Trump… But I also have respect for the way the justice system is applied, and I thought this was an egregious example of selective prosecution by the Manhattan district attorney,” Durkin said. “Now he can say he got a conviction on Donald Trump. I’m still not sure what crime it was.” The barbs were even sharper from Republicans downstate, where Trump remains immensely popular outside the solid blue Chicago area. “Joseph Stalin would be proud,” said state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, a member of the far-right Illinois Freedom Caucus of the General Assembly. “The Democrats have shown that they cannot be trusted to be anywhere near power. They must be stopped and the only way to do that is for Donald Trump to win in a landslide in November.” Fellow Freedom Caucus Blaine Wilhour, R-Beecher City, bemoaned “the trampling of our Constitution by the worst people imaginable.” “The same people who allow criminals to murder, rape, and commit unspeakable acts of violence have the audacity to prosecute a former President of the country,” Wilhour said in a statement. “The American people see right through this, and they will come out in huge numbers to vote for President Trump because they understand the battle facing us is not one of politics and political disagreement — it is truly good versus evil.” Former gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey — and a former Freedom Caucus member until he gave up his southern Illinois state Senate seat — exclaimed on social media: “I don’t cuss, but this is chicken s—!” Rep. Mike Bost, a staunch Trump supporter who beat Bailey as GOP nominee for the 12th Congressional District, said “New York’s six-week sham trial against President Trump has eroded the public’s trust in our legal system in a way that will take years to overcome… Even after today’s verdict, he is strengthened with an American public that is fed up with liberals weaponizing the legal system for their partisan political gain.” Rep. Darin LaHood, the central Illinois congressman who has periodically criticized Trump but endorsed his 2024 comeback bid, said, “This political prosecution undermines the rule of law and faith in our justice system. It should be overturned on appeal.” LaHood is hosting House Speaker Mike Johnson Saturday at the Peoria-Tazewell Lincoln Day Dinner, a marquee event on the state GOP calendar. “This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one,” Johnson said in a statement. “President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict—and he WILL WIN.”)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: Not surprisingly, suburban political leaders divided on Trump verdict – Russell Lissau
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240531/nation-and-world-politics/not-surprisingly-suburban-political-leaders-divided-on-trump-verdict/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across the aisle, Will County Republican Party Chair Christina Clausen defended Trump and said the verdict “represents a profound crisis for our democratic process.” Clausen, of Homer Glen, alleged the trial was unfair and said the verdict interferes with the upcoming presidential election.
“It is deeply troubling that, despite living in what many consider the most free and fair society in history, a judge and prosecutor in New York City can wrongfully condemn and imprison one of our nation’s greatest presidents,” said Clausen, overlooking that a jury handed down the verdict. “I stand firmly with Donald Trump during these challenging times and hope that justice will prevail, demonstrating his innocence to the world.” Republican congressional candidate Mark Rice of Chicago, who’s challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg in the entirely suburban 8th District, said he expects the verdict will be overturned by an appellate court. “What a farce,” Rice said Friday in a Facebook post. . .In a statement on social media, Seth Cohen, a Skokie resident and the GOP’s nominee for Illinois’ 9th Congressional District seat, supported “the role and authority” of the justice system while “respectfully” disagreeing with the verdict. Cohen also said he opposes the weaponization of the system by members of either major political party. Cohen is vying to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th District, which includes parts of Cook, Lake and McHenry counties. . .Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills turned to social media after the verdict, posting a photo of the U.S. flag displayed outside his office and a jab at the people of New York City. “I left the office flag flying high and proud,” wrote McLaughlin, of the 52nd District. “Thankfully there are still a lot of ‘Old Souls’ still present in our Great Nation if not in Manhattan. Blue skies ahead.”)

MSNBC
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters say “The Texas GOP’s new platform is a terrifying preview of MAGA’s future. There are many, many horrors to behold in the latest platform.” Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions have never been anywhere near as conservative as the Texas GOP platforms and resolutions. But nevertheless, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs who run Republican organizations in Illinois have always a) demonized, denigrated, and condemned Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions as being too conservative and b) blamed Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions for Republican defeats.
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/texas-republican-party-platform-trump-rcna154805
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now, their latest platform, which delegates voted on last weekend, endorses the conspiracist “great reset” theory, declares that “abortion is not health care, it is homicide,” and calls for a new election law requiring candidates running for statewide offices to win a majority of Texas’ 254 counties, effectively barring any Democrat from the position. And that’s just the start. Yet the chief politics reporter for the Austin American Statesman just called the platform “more of a wish list for the most activist members of the GOP than a road map that will be followed to the letter by lawmakers in Austin or Washington.” Even the Texas Tribune’s otherwise thoughtful, comprehensive reporting on the convention describes the party platform as “traditionally … seen not as a definitive list of Republican stances, but a compromise document that represents the interests of the party’s various business, activist and social conservative factions.” . . . There are many, many horrors to behold in the latest platform, and they must be taken seriously not in spite of how terrifying the document is, but because of how terrifying the document is. It is because the latest Texas GOP platform endorses “prohibiting the teaching of sex education, sexual health, or sexual choice or identity” that we should take it seriously. It is because the platform equates abortion and murder that we should take it seriously. It is because the platform aims to ban any Democrat — and indeed, any noncompliant Republican — from ever holding statewide office, that we should take it seriously.)

— Court Takes Restrictive Reading on Completing Probationary Period (COMMENT: In 1970, Firestone Store’s Chicago district office hired me and assigned me to its Chicago Heights store. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store boss would never had hired me. He forced me to pass a 2-week probationary period in Firestone’s Gary Indiana store before he would let me report to work. He disapproved of my having avoided the Vietnam War draft, my having more education than he did, my having been a federal employee for almost 3 years, my being Protestant, my being German American, and my ancestors having been in America for a long time. In 1980, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors were furious that they could just fire me because I had already passed the federal employee probationary period while I worked for IRS.)

QUORA
— Good old days (COMMENT: When you were working, when were your good old days? For me, they were 1971-1974 when IRS promoted me from GS-7 (currently $54,728/year) to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). During that time, I bought a new Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate evening business courses at Loyola. But then my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Then the good old days for me were 1986-1988 when the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer from IRS in 1980 was finally able to get me assigned me to audits of IRS in 1986 and to promote me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) in 1986. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $123,136/year in 1988. But then my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Illinois Republican Party Responds to President Trump Verdict Following the verdict in the New York trial of President Trump, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement: “Let’s call this trial what it really is: a political prosecution the likes of which occurs in banana republics but not previously in these United States. Democrat activist investigators and prosecutors have relentlessly hounded President Trump for years. First, they challenged the legitimacy of his election in 2016 thru the Russian collusion hoax. Then, they strove to defeat his re-election in 2020 thru impeachments and the Hunter Biden laptop coverup. Then, they indicted him and his supporters to tarnish his legacy in an effort to re-elect President Biden. This weaponization of the judicial system has weakened our country here and in the eyes of the world, which I’m sure President Biden will savor while he vacations in Delaware as his handlers make critical decisions for the country.”

— Of course, I applaud the 2024 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions to the extent that they promote conservative principles. But if I had not been removed from the 2024 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee, I would have advocated for a platform and for resolutions that would have given more priority and more emphasis to promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I would have advocated for a resolution that would have called for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. – Dave Diersen

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Trump verdict puts Illinois GOP on the attack – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/05/31/illinois-republicans-say-the-fix-was-in-00160956
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE: Illinois Republicans and a certain former governor rallied behind Donald Trump after a Manhattan jury found him guilty Thursday on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush money criminal trial. A sentencing hearing is set for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Some of the reax: The Illinois GOP issued a statement comparing the legal proceedings to “banana republics.” Darren Bailey, who got Trump’s support when he ran for governor, called it “a dark day for America.” And Ogle County GOP Chair Mike Koolidge predicts the verdicts will “energize voters like nothing else has before — and in Trump’s favor.” Deja vu for you know who: Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose prison term on corruption charges was commuted by Trump, said: “When you’ve lived through it yourself you recognize when they do it to someone else … the political fix was in.” The Democrat turned Trump-ocrat, as Blagojevich likes to describe himself, said the verdict was made by “a handpicked politicized Dem judge who denied a former President a chance to put on a defense and allowed ridiculously unlawful jury instructions,” via X. Illinois Democrats had another take, of course. Gov. JB Pritzker, who is a surrogate on the campaign trail for President Joe Biden, issued a statement saying: “Justice has been served. … Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter, and a threat to this country. He can now add one more title to his list — a felon. But let me be clear, Donald Trump will never be 47.” Mayor Brandon Johnson called Trump “a con artist, a bigot, and an embarrassment of a former president. And now, he’s a convicted felon,” on his social media account. Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) called Trump “a loser in court and now we must beat him at the ballot box.” And Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, offered this: “As I’ve said all along: no one is above the law — not even a former president.” Republicans and Democrats agree on one point made by Trump outside the courtroom: “The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It is not “Democrat-Lite.” The only legitimate reason a) to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, b) to be an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Delegate, c) to serve on an IRP State Convention committee, d) to be an officer of a Republican township/ward or county party organization, e) to be an IRP State Central Committee (SCC) member, f) to be an IRP National Committeeman or Committeewoman, and g) to be the IRP chairman is to help elect candidates in Illinois who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. But in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, far too many of the aforesaid reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Far too many of the aforesaid get rid of those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like the Republican Party platform does not exist. The current process for electing IRP SCC members has caused the aforesaid. Should I start writing about the aforesaid who have the most clout, who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, who have done the most to destroy those like me who support those planks, who use the current system for electing IRP SCC members to stay in power, who had me removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee? – Dave Diersen

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP UNITY: The Illinois Republican Party is holding its state convention today and Saturday in the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville. After eight years of divisiveness among the rank and file, party leaders hope to emerge united as they head into election season. No matter where they stand on Donald Trump, they agree on wanting to make Joe Biden a one-term president. “We’re at a pivotal point where you’re seeing Republicans starting to get back together,” Illinois GOP Executive Director Matthew Janes told Playbook. “You’re seeing a lot more unity recently.” The Illinois GOP has evolved much the way the national Republican party has, with right-leaning Republicans veering more right and centrists somehow being seen as being left on party issues. In Illinois, the shift has been geographic. In 2014, the Republican base was strong in Chicago’s suburbs and exurbs, while southern Illinois still saw Democrats have an influence in party politics. That’s all shifted: When Trump came on the scene, rural voters were drawn to his blue collar message and there was a shift in the state party’s cultural and economic bases. Chicago-area Republicans weren’t always in line with Trump. And many still aren’t. Embracing Trump: Illinois GOP National Committeeman Richard Porter was among those hoping to see a new Republican generation in the White House. He backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. Now, he says he’s most concerned about taking back the White House from Democrats. “I am for winning. Trump is our nominee and the Democrats have behaved appallingly in regard to Trump so it’s not hard to support him,” Porter told Playbook, referring to the former president’s recent court fight in New York. That attitude is expected to prevail in Collinsville this weekend, where the biggest task is to line up behind a party platform and elect a new Republican committee man and committee woman to represent the state within the national Republican Convention (The party elects one man and one woman to those seats.). Why the change: Term limits are keeping Porter and Committeewoman Demetra DeMonte from running again. They have each served two terms. In the running for their seats: GOP state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White and Illinois Republican Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber. Shaw is also an Illinois adviser to Trump’s campaign. Women candidates are State Central Committee members Joan Lasonde and Rhonda Belford, and former Republican legislative candidate Julie Cho. All of the candidates are right-leaning, Trump-supporting Republicans. If you are Demetra DeMonte, Playbook would like to hear from you. Email skapos@politico.com )

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump putting his finger on the scale to revamp GOP platform four years after it froze in time – Elaine Mallon (COMMENT: Those who oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a far-right conservative. Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump-promoter. I should write a book about those who oppose direct elect election of IRP SCC members and who oppose Trump and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3015947/trump-revamp-gop-platform-after-it-froze-in-time/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump campaign is pushing to elect those closely aligned with the presumptive presidential nominee’s agenda to positions on the Republican National Committee‘s Platform Committee. Much of this effort by former President Donald Trump’s campaign relates to concerns that far-right conservatives will push stances on abortion and same-sex marriage that may alienate the general population just ahead of the general election. The RNC’s Platform Committee consists of a male and a female representative from each U.S. state and territory, and it will play an instrumental role in shaping the party’s stances on dozens of policy issues. The party’s current platform is a 66-page document that hasn’t been reviewed since the 2016 election. In 2020, the RNC passed a resolution stating it would not adopt a new platform, pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic interfering with the party’s ability to hold meetings. That year marked the first time in more than 150 years that the RNC decided not to make adjustments to its official platform, per NBC News. Shiree Verdone served as co-chairwoman of Trump’s campaign in Arizona in both 2016 and 2020 but is no longer involved with the Republican Party of Arizona. She told the outlet that Trump’s team is concerned about who is getting on the party’s platform committee. “Trying to get normal folks on the Platform and Rules [committees], but God knows if there’s any normal people in that delegation,” Verdone said. The committee’s leadership consists of strong Trump supporters, including Trump’s former ambassador to Luxembourg, Randy Evans, who will serve as executive director. Russ Vought, Trump’s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, will serve as policy director, and Ed Martin, the head of several conservative groups, will serve as deputy policy director. “The campaign is really getting into it and involved this year in [Platform Committee] races in states,” a veteran Republican operative told the outlet. “There is a sense among them that the platform should not be pushed too far to the right on a few issues, but I keep hearing abortion and marriage specifically.” While far-right conservatives have called for a national ban on abortion, Trump has been steadfast in his stance that the matter will be left up to the states. “I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump declared on Truth Social.)
