— 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. 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.)

— A time to celebrate labor’s successes and acknowledge its challenges in Illinois – Tim Drea and Pat Devaney (COMMENT: I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. 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, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrats GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

— Democrats say “Chicago mayor pledges full support at graduation of new police officers.” In December of 1971, when I was 23 years old, after 6 months of intensive classroom and on-the-job training, I became a GS-7 (currently $52,022/year) IRS Revenue Officer. According to IRS, “Their job is to collect taxes that are delinquent and have not been paid to the IRS and to secure tax returns that are overdue from taxpayers. The IRS currently has about 2,300 revenue officers (RO) working cases across the country. ROs educate taxpayers on their tax filing and paying obligations and provide guidance and service on a wide range of financial issues to help the taxpayer resolve their tax issues. They also ensure taxpayers are aware of their rights under the law and provide them with quality customer service. How ROs work: ROs conduct scheduled interviews with taxpayers and/or their representatives face-to-face or by telephone if appropriate. This is done as part of the process of collecting delinquent taxes and securing delinquent tax returns. Through interviews and research, the ROs get and analyze financial information to determine the taxpayer’s ability to pay their tax bill. Taxpayers could be individuals or businesses. ROs consider alternative means of resolving tax debt issues when the taxpayer cannot pay the debt in full and provide taxpayers with resources that can help including: Setting up payment agreements that allow the taxpayer to pay the bill over time. When appropriate, granting relief from penalties imposed when the tax bill is overdue.
Suspending collection of accounts due to financial hardship. The IRS makes every attempt to come to an agreement with the taxpayer, when this is not possible other enforcement actions may be taken.” IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. The Democrats who ran GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer and they wasted my knowledge of IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

But the Illinois governor has taken a page out of Newsom’s book, taking shots at DeSantis at various points.

It was a serious miscalculation, and the realization of this foolish, unforced error is just beginning to sink in. Perhaps the most immediate consequence of this colossal blunder was that it instantly catapulted Trump to “legend” status in the eyes of the black men who lined the street as his motorcade wound its way to the Fulton County Jail last week. They see the mug shot as a symbol of “the man” sticking it to “the people,” a feeling with which they are intimately familiar.)

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/pope-francis-says-reactionary-u-s-catholic-church-has-replaced-faith-with-ideology/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Francis has drawn criticism for his stance on a number of issues, including his calls for gun control and his opposition to the death penalty. He’s come under fire for his emphasis on social justice issues and for his support for the creation of civil union laws for same-sex couples. “Homosexuals have a right to be part of the family,” he said in Francesco, a 2020 documentary about his life. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.” However, Francis’ comments were in reference to civil unions and did not condone those unions within the church. Francis has responded to previous criticism by saying it is an “honor” to be attacked by Americans.”

— 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. Soon. if not already, Democrats will officially give the right to vote to anyone who votes for Democrats. How many millions of the many millions of illegals in America used their false identifications to vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats?

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. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

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.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “Asylum-seekers’ long wait for work permits: ‘It feels terrible, especially because I’m used to working’ Most migrants must wait 150 days after filing for asylum to apply for a work permit and can’t get that until their application has been pending at least 30 days, often longer.” If there had been as many illegals when I was young, they would have gotten the jobs that I got.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/25/23836765/migrants-work-permits-asylum-seekers-jobs
— Democrats say “A year since the first buses of migrants arrived in Chicago, the journey to asylum for Vannessa Olivera, others is just beginning. More than 13,000 immigrants have arrived since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started sending them away on buses — so far 197 of them coming to the Chicago area.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.

— 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.

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.

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. I would focus on their staff members.)

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.

— America Is Often a Nation Divided. U.S. politics today is ugly and broken, true enough. But the good news is that it was worse in the past, and it will get better again. – Karl Rove (COMMENT: What is different from the past is demographics. Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats, America is ever-increasingly more and more and more non-White. Non-Whites overwhelmingly need/want massive government assistance. Non-Whites overwhelmingly 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. Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from non-Whites, Democrats promote more hatred against Whites.)

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. 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.

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.)

— 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.)

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.)

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.

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.

(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.)

— Democrats say “Despite years of affirmative action, Black student enrollment percentages remain low at local universities.” According to my critics/opponents, UIC should have admitted a Black instead of me in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992. 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.

— Gun owners describe to Pew survey why they own their weapons – Jennifer Harper
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/aug/20/inside-beltway-gun-owners-describe-why-they-own-th/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A sign of the times, perhaps: Gun owners in the United States continue to cite “protection” as the major reason they have a gun, according to a new Pew Research Center poll which reveals that 32% of Americans say they personally own a gun. Political persuasion plays a role. “About half of conservative Republicans (51%) say they own a gun. That compares with 38% of moderate and liberal Republicans, 24% of conservative and moderate Democrats, and 16% of liberal Democrats,” an analysis of the findings said. “While a sizable majority of gun owners (71%) say they enjoy having a gun, an even larger share (81%) say they feel safer owning a gun,” the analysis noted. The survey found that 72% of owners advise that “protection” is their major motivation — and it surpasses the shares of gun owners who cite other reasons for gun ownership — such as use in hunting, fishing, sports shooting or to satisfy a job requirement. “Gun ownership is far more common among residents of rural areas (47%) than among people living in suburbs (30%) or urban areas (20%). Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (45%) are far more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners (20%) to report owning a gun,” the findings continued. Meanwhile, just 12% of the gun owners said they were worried about having a gun in the home.)

— Every parent should fight back vs. the left’s war on merit – Karol Markowicz (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.)
https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/every-parent-should-fight-back-vs-the-lefts-war-on-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It used to be obvious that merit is part of achieving the American dream. But like it’s doing to so many self-evident things, the left is attempting to destroy this idea as it pursues a Sovietesque system of “equity.” Parents might not see merit’s decline as a more pressing concern than their children being told they can be any gender they choose from day to day. Most kids are academically average. Why fight over merit when there are so many other ideological fights to be had? Parents have to see merit as part and parcel of the left’s push to impose its ridiculous concepts on our kids. The idea that everyone can have an equal outcome has been tried again and again in failed socialist countries. When the left succeeds in ending merit in a school, you can be sure the rest of the woke ideas parents abhor have already taken over the curriculum. Beyond that, our schools’ loss of rigor has dumbed down our country, and the retreat from pursuing merit has slowed success for so many kids.)

— Democrats say “Ramaswamy’s Faith Singled Out in DeSantis Super PAC Memo. An opposition research memo suggests that Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been gaining on Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in some polls, “was very much ingrained in India’s caste system.” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-desantis-documents.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The document’s first paragraph, addressing Mr. Ramaswamy’s past support for inheritance taxes, draws a link between that policy position and his Hindu upbringing as the son of Indian immigrants. “Ramaswamy — a Hindu who grew up visiting relatives in India and was very much ingrained in India’s caste system — supports this as a mechanism to preserve a meritocracy in America and ensure everyone starts on a level playing field,” the document states. . .Asked to comment on the reason for highlighting Mr. Ramaswamy’s religion and background, the super PAC’S chief executive, Chris Jankowski, said in a statement: “We are highlighting that his philosophy of government is a direct reflection of his life experience. When his parents moved here from India, they had an 85 percent inheritance tax. In fact, his support of the inheritance tax is connected to the argument he makes in his book against meritocracy.”)
— Democrats say “Courts Need to Protect Press Freedoms.” Since 2000, my critics/opponents have shouted at the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) that because I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, they have the power to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, they have the power to dictate what I include and what I do not include in those newsletters.

They ever-increasingly focus on driving out of the Republican Party Traditional Conservatives and Right Wingers out of the Republican Party. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/17/upshot/six-kinds-of-republican-voters.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Moderate Establishment (14%). Highly educated, affluent, socially moderate or even liberal and often outright Never Trump. The Traditional Conservatives (26%). Old-fashioned economic and social conservatives who oppose abortion and prefer corporate tax cuts to new tariffs. They don’t love Mr. Trump, but they do support him. The Right Wing (26%). They watch Fox News and Newsmax. They’re “very conservative.” They’re disproportionately evangelical. They believe America is on the brink of catastrophe. And they love Mr. Trump more than any other group. The Blue Collar Populists (12%). They’re mostly Northern, socially moderate, economic populists who hold deeply conservative views on race and immigration. Not only do they back Mr. Trump, but he himself probably counted as one a decade ago. The Libertarian Conservatives (14%). These disproportionately Western and Midwestern conservatives value small government. They’re relatively socially moderate and isolationist, and they’re on the lower end of Trump support compared with other groups. The Newcomers (8%). They don’t look like Republicans. They’re young, diverse and moderate. But these disaffected voters like Democrats and the “woke” left even less.)
— How electable are you? Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters shout that if you are a Republican, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the less electable that you are.
