https://www.dailyherald.com/20240816/nation-and-world-politics/meet-the-suburban-delegates-to-the-democratic-national-convention/
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrats say the “Republican Party has found itself riven by the influence of its most extreme elements.” But not in Illinois. Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party and many other Republican Organizations in Illinois have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-platform Republicans, that is, by anti-Republicans. Most commonly, they reject the 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. That is why Republican candidates lose elections in Illinois.

It is a dangerous dynamic that threatens the future of our country, and it’s been exposed during our current president’s lamest of lame-duck final months in office. President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the commander in chief to vacation, snooze, and eat ice cream.)

The aforesaid has ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, my professional license, etc.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/failure-femmes-deis-tragic-destruction-of-law-enforcement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too: Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process. This is reflected in the recent story about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission Wednesday, at a North Carolina Donald Trump campaign event, to nurse her baby (tweet below). The woman, who works out of the Atlanta Field Office, wasn’t supposed to bring a child to a protective assignment in the first place. Apparently, though, the SS failures in Butler, Pennsylvania, that enabled the Trump assassination attempt didn’t make an impression on her.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2024/08/17/illinois-democrats-incumbent-republicans-6-state-house-races-house-speaker-chris-welch-rich-miller
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 47th House District: Rep. Amy Grant, R-Wheaton, vs. Jackie Williamson. President Joe Biden won this district by 12 percentage points four years ago. Every statewide Democratic candidate won the district two years ago, and Gov. JB Pritzker won it by 8 points. Grant’s campaign had just $13,542 in the bank at the end of June. She’s since reported raising a mere $10,000. Keep in mind that the House Democrats have a vast and ever-growing fundraising advantage over the House Republicans. So the money that these Republican incumbents have raised so far is much more important to understanding their predicaments. Grant is a strong abortion rights opponent.)

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/16/illinois-republicans-address-upcoming-democratic-national-convention-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a news conference Friday, Illinois Republican state senators blasted the majority party’s policies. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, noted that Illinois is ranked as the least tax friendly state in the country. “As family budgets are stretched to their breaking point, forcing families to make really tough decisions, Illinois Democrats used their tax hikes to deliver the most expensive budget in state history,” said Rezin. Rezin added that at a time when Illinois families struggle to make ends meet, Illinois Democrats responded with $1 billion in new taxes. The largest tax hike in the budget approved earlier this year is the extension of the state’s cap on net operating losses, which will raise corporate income taxes for companies recently losing money by $526 million in the next fiscal year. State Sen. Don DeWitte, R-St. Charles, brought up the fact that Democrats refused to renew the Invest in Kids school choice tax credit scholarship program.)

— How would your career have been impacted if you had been born years later than you were? I was born in 1948. If I had been born years later, because of ever-increasing Democrat and RINO Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of ever-increasingly patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I would not have been able to a) get hired by the Post Office when I was 18, IRS when I was 22, or GAO when I was 31, b) get promoted by IRS when I was 23, 24, and 25, or c) get promoted by GAO when I was 38. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45. My Democrat GAO superiors would have forced me to retire then instead of letting work until I was 49 when their early retirement offer expired. I would not have been eligible to take regular retirement until I was 55. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 in today’s dollars and b) only 43% of what GAO salary was when I was 49 in today’s dollars. – Dave Diersen

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240813/news/pro-trump-rally-in-woodstock-sunday-on-eve-of-dnc-caravans-of-gop-supporters-from-across-region-exp/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans from across the Chicago region and beyond are expected to converge on the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock Sunday for a show of support for former President Donald Trump just before the Democratic National Conventions gets underway in Chicago. The Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at the fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Tickets range from $30 for general admission to $300 for a VIP seat, according to the Parading for Trump website. Those supporting the former president in his reelection bid plan to caravan to the event. Caravans of his supporters are set to arrive from Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, Petersen Park in McHenry, the Campton Township Highway Department parking lot in Lily Lake in Kane County, Antioch’s Metra station, the Tinley Park Convention Center, the shopping center at 2341 Sycamore Road in DeKalb and from Halsted and Division streets in Chicago. Paraders are asked to decorate their vehicles in pro-Trump gear. The speakers list includes conservative commentator and Chicago-area native Charlie Kirk, GOP strategist Roger Stone, Mike Lindell of MyPillow and retired Army lieutenant general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. Entertainment for the day will be from musicians Thompson Square, Nate Venturelli, Diva Montell and Anthony “Frank” Cassano. There’s no indication that Trump or his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, will appear. Gary Rabine, a Bull Valley businessman and former candidate for Illinois governor, is hosting the rally. According to the event website, the event is paid for by The American Dream PAC, with profits from the event “dispersed … to organizations focused on Get out the Vote in our communities and swing states, conservative candidates and organizations focused on helping Trump become our 47th President.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: McHenry city officials were surprised when they read news reports Tuesday that Petersen Park was set as a meetup point Sunday to caravan to the Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally in Woodstock. Petersen Park is playing host to the annual Bands, Brews & BBQ event this weekend, with its largest day expected on Sunday, McHenry Deputy Chief Tom Walsh said. It could see even larger crowds later in the day, as McHenry’s community fireworks show is due to take place at the park after being was postponed because of poor weather during Fiesta Days in July. In social media posts and emails, organizers of the rally – in support of former President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates on the ballot in November, and held on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago – encouraged GOP faithful to meet up beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at McHenry’s Petersen Park and convoy at 11:30 a.m. to the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. Caravans of supporters are also expected to descend on Woodstock from various meetup spots across the Chicago region and in DeKalb. The gates for Bands, Brews and BBQ are set to open at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, McHenry Area Rotary President Diana Mark said. Vendors, the band and others will be setting up before then will be in and out of the parking area earlier, Mark said. Following inquiries from the Northwest Herald, organizers of the pro-Trump rally distributed a new flier saying the McHenry meetup would instead be at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Althoff Park. The event’s website, paradingfortrump.com , still listed Petersen Park as of Tuesday evening, however. Prior to the location change, Walsh had said: “I am concerned about space. I don’t know details about where they are meeting up” or whether cars will be left at the Petersen lot during the day. “We can’t have this conflict in the parking lot,” he said. McHenry Chief of Police John Birk asked Walsh to reach out to the Trump event organizers. The rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Organizers did not need a temporary use permit for the rally, as the fairground is exempt from the permit process, Alicia Schueller, director of public affairs for McHenry County. Food and liquor licenses have been secured for the event. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has asked Woodstock Police for additional support during the rally, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Tuesday. That’s not unusual for large events, Stelford said, adding that two Woodstock police officers are helping at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. Those same two officers also aided with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Stelford said.)

Even though I paid into Social Security 1964-1974, my Social Security is only $2,935/year because I get a CSRS pension. During those 10 years, I did yard work, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped gasoline.)

— Negotiating job offers (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take $22,996/year (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, minority, female, or veteran. 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 $97,079–$110,020/year. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used my having to take that pay cut against me viciously. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning that master’s degree from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981. They succeeded in a) delaying my promotions back to GS-12 until 1982, b) assigning me to audits IRS until 1986 and then after 1988, c) delaying my promotion to GS-13 until 1986, and d) never promoting me to GS-14.)

Joe Walsh acknowledged that it “takes a lot of courage” for many Republicans to publicly break with their party, but argued it’s necessary. “You have to publicly out yourself: ‘I’m a Republican; I’m a conservative, and I’m supporting Kamala Harris,’” Walsh said. “It takes courage, but remember – Donald Trump is unfit to be President.” Organizers said more than 70,000 people joined the call live, where speakers urged Republican participants to get behind Harris through volunteering and publicly supporting her campaign.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Action Items For The IL GOP – David E. Smith (COMMENT: Bailey calls for the Illinois Republican Party to censure Edgar, Kinzinger, Ray LaHood, and Walsh for promoting Harris. Have your critics/opponents tried to censure you? My critics/opponents tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They succeed in throwing off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. I should write about that. I would focus on those who are still active today and who could have and should have come to my defense but did not. In 2006 and 2007, I was a) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, b) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization, and d) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee. I had spent lots of my time and my money helping elect in general elections those Republican candidates who had won primary elections.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/07-bailey-action-items-for-the-il-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former State Senator Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) has been posting personal video content on his Bailey for Illinois Facebook page for years now. These updates include political commentary, campaign updates, a Christian devotional readings and prayer. Since these video commentaries are very informative and encouraging, I often share these postings on my own personal social media platforms. One such recent video post deserves much greater attention by a much greater audience. In his video post on Tuesday, August 6th, Darren highlighted some issues that have been on the minds of grass-root conservatives for some time regarding the Illinois Republican Party. He highlights four points that we list below along with the transcript of his commentary. However, the most important call-to-action item – one that will resonate with conservative voters across the state – is the emergence of so-called “Republicans for Harris,” – yes, extreme left-wing Kamala Harris. This group of unprincipled politicians aim to peel away votes from Donald Trump. Illinois mugwumps Adam Kinzinger, Jim Edgar, Ray LaHood and Joe Walsh are among the high-profile snollygosters publicly endorsing Harris and encouraging others to vote for her. (Read more HERE.) Their duplicity is astonishing. Darren also brings to our attention something called “The Edgar Fellows Program” – an initiative launched by former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar (RINO) to develop “leadership and governing capacity in Illinois.” The program focuses on fostering respectful and collaborative leadership to address major policy issues, emphasizing the importance of statesmanship over partisan, ethnic, and regional rivalries. This program is run through the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. Darren’s is absolutely correct to call for a censure of these traitors. Not only should township and county Republican organizations issue resolutions to censure these individuals, so should the Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC). Therefore, we encourage you to take action and speak out. The corporate media is celebrating these turncoats and giving them a platform to denigrate the Republican nominee. We must make it clear that they DO NOT speak for us. Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to censor Kinzinger, Edgar, LaHood and Walsh. Republican officials should not ignore those who claim the “Republican” mantel but then openly disparage policy planks, principles and publicly work against the GOP nominee for POTUS. To be clear, we are very grateful that these things are being discussed, and for our part, we hope you will consider these important points of reformation and speak out to the Republican State Central Committee to encourage them to heed these changes. The following four points, attributed to Tom DeVore, former GOP candidate for Illinois Attorney General, are summarized here: 1.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of primary races. 2.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of the campaign efforts of Springfield’s House Republican Organization (HRO) and Senate Republican Organization (SRO). 3.) The Illinois GOP should fully support Republican nominees over Democrat nominees – especially in state-wide races. 4.) The Illinois GOP should reject donations from groups who engage in activities that are contrary to the Republican Party, i.e. Illinois Teachers Unions. Watch Darren’s video commentary here or read the transcript below for more important information.)
ROCK ISLAND COUNTY REPUBLICANS
— I am striving to fill about 75 Precinct Committeeman positions. – Annie Parchert, Chairman (COMMENT: I should write about the following who have worked the hardest since 2000 to stop me from serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. I would focus on the aforesaid who continue to take the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform.)

FED WEEK
— Auditors Made Calls to 76 IRS Taxpayer Assistance Service Lines; 2 Were Answered (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year) in 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were furious that he given me that developmental opportunity and promoted me instead of my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the Vietnam War draft.)
https://www.fedweek.com/federal-managers-daily-report/auditors-made-calls-to-76-irs-taxpayer-assistance-service-lines-2-were-answered/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The IRS inspector general’s office called all 76 local taxpayer assistance center lines—offices whose mission is to help taxpayers resolve problems—but just two of the calls were answered by a live person, the IG has said. Two of the lines were not in service, while the other calls were sent to voice mail boxes — 16 of which were full and could not accept a message. Other issues included inconsistent recorded scripted messaging and callback time frames, discrepancies in contact information and discrepancies in information on recorded messages. The report said that “may discourage taxpayers from seeking help with their tax issues, being compliant with the tax system, and not receiving the assistance they deserve in resolving their tax issues.” The IG said the experience — conducted in response to a hotline complaint from a tax professional seeking help for a client due a refund who was experiencing a financial hardship — paralleled one from last year when it called 102 IRS customer service numbers and 21 of them placed the calls on hold for more than 30 minutes. It said that in response to an alert it issued, agency management took steps including assuring that websites have up-to-date information posted and that voicemail boxes are monitored prevent them from filling up. The IRS also is “exploring technology to transcribe voicemails so employees in other areas can help return calls and to expand the size of voicemail boxes to prevent them from becoming full.”)

During that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I never made GS-14 (currently $136,414) even though I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me during that time were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”

(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

— Illinois announces $9 million investment in new licensure process (COMMENT: I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 years old in 1981. That made my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates furious because it further frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. Previously, they were frustrated by my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Subsequently, they were frustrated by my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

— Democrats ask “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165. In today’s dollars, a) that is less that what my salary was ($66,942) when I was 23 years old in 1973 and b) that is $84,910 less than what my salary was ($150,975) when I was 49 years old in 1997. That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

— JD Vance’s story an example of meritocracy. – Mike Huckabee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I had to work my way through college, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.” Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)

— Eventually, everyone’s motivations come out in the wash.

They all blame those who are following for their problems: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, childless, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

August 6, 2024 – Harris picks Walz
NEWSWEEK
— Tim Walz Is Kamala Harris’ Pick for VP – Jesus Mesa
https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-kamala-harris-vice-president-1934825
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, to be her running mate, CNN reported Tuesday morning, as the Democrats strive to gain ground on former President Donald Trump with just over three months until the November election. An official announcement was expected within hours, with the pair set for their first campaign rally in Philadelphia later on Tuesday. Walz, 60, now in his second term as governor, has gained recognition for his progressive policies while also maintaining an ability to appeal to both urban and rural voters. His selection aims to balance the Democratic ticket, leveraging his Midwestern roots and legislative success to attract a broader base of support. His national profile started to rise after he became the first Democrat to publicly label Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, as “weird”—a narrative that has since been seized upon by Democrats. As a vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz was something of a dark horse. Though his name had only started to surface in recent weeks as a potential contender, he wasn’t typically seen as one of the frontrunners — especially given that Minnesota is a relatively solid blue state. Josh Shapiro, from the must-win commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was widely considered the favorite. Walz brings a unique national political resume: He was a non-commissioned Army officer, public school teacher, and state high school championship football coach before entering politics. As a congressman, he represented Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District—a long-considered GOP bastion—and was re-elected five more times.)

Because illegals drive wages down for low-paid jobs, illegal immigration harms Americans the most who have to take low-paid jobs. I had to take low-paid jobs to work my way through college because unlike my critics/opponents, my parents were not wealthy. My critics/opponents never had to compete against illegals like I had to.)

BUTLER COUNTY GOP
— Central Committee Letter Examples (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, because I am too conservative and because my demographics are terrible, the more that do to help elect Republican candidates, the fewer votes those candidates get. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for the defeats suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. In light of that, what should I say in my precinct letter for the November 5, 2024 election?)

CAMPUS REFORM
— Kamala Harris, stone-cold Marxist. Harris’s conception of ‘equitable treatment’ is indistinguishable from communism—no doubt because our modern notion of ‘equity’ is itself simply a rebranding of Marxism. – Rob Jenkins (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject meritocracy. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.)

— Democrats say “Trump defends ‘Black jobs’ comment to room of Black journalists.” Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal and Illinois Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders furiously promote their party’s platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative, but far too many Illinois Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders fail/refuse to promote their party’s platform. Consequently Illinois Republican candidates lose elections. According to Illinois Democrats, Illinois Republican candidates can win if they officially become Democrat Lite candidates, that is, if they officially become RINO candidates, that is, if they officially dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, if they official join the Democrats in promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and race and gender based preference giving. To what extent do the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct promote the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform?

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— New chairman tries to unite fractured Illinois GOP heading into Milwaukee convention. – RICK PEARSON and JEREMY GORNER (COMMENT: The Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles. The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles. Democrats want Republicans to lose. Democrats want Republicans to dump everything that is conservative and to dump everyone that is conservative.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/13/new-chairman-tries-to-unite-fractured-illinois-gop-heading-into-milwaukee-convention/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Salvi won the chairmanship with about 60% of the weighted vote against state Rep. John Cabello of Machesney Park, a Rockford suburb, in an initial round of voting after Aaron Del Mar, the Palatine Republican Township committeeman, withdrew from the contest. In a final tally, 16 of the 17 members voted for Salvi, with one abstention, said GOP sources who were not authorized to speak publicly about the committee’s deliberations. Cabello’s candidacy to be “interim” chairman until after the Nov. 5 election was backed by forces aligned with the controversial Shaw, who still sits on the state central committee despite losing his party title and looked to exert some power within the party, the GOP sources said. Cabello said he wanted to serve as a caretaker to “keep the train on the tracks while they do their due diligence to find someone else” to serve as chairman. . .In an interview ahead of the chairman vote, Salvi said she has been “very active with the party, supporting candidates up and down the state of Illinois, attending events where invited and making my case to the people willing to listen how Illinois is really no different than the states that surround us.” Acknowledging Trump’s previous losses in Illinois and concerns by some Republicans that his presence on the ballot has dragged down Republicans in down ballot contests, Salvi said she believes the 2024 election will be different because of voters’ dissatisfaction with Biden and his policies. Biden “basically pulled a bait and switch,” she said. “People are hurting. Families are hurting. And they look at their lives under the four years of President Trump and they look at their lives of the last 3 1/2 years and people are hurting.” “We’re going to have an angry vote out there. Not just Republicans. People who have never voted before. They’re coming out in droves to support something different because they feel as though the promises made were not kept,” Salvi said. “The policies of the Biden administration have hurt families, have hurt Illinois families and voters. And people are recognizing that, which is why I think that the middle, center-left is coming on board.” Tracy will retain the chairmanship through the end of the national convention in Milwaukee, while Salvi, as incoming chair, is expected to join U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, the chair of the Illinois delegation, at convention-related party organizational events. Miller is a member of the far right House Freedom Caucus, an ally of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and actively sought and won Trump’s endorsement for her reelection efforts. . .Republican convention delegates in Milwaukee will be asked to approve a slimmed down national party platform that in some respects is less conservative than the Illinois Republican platform. The national party platform proclaims that it was “because of us” that the U.S. Supreme Court’ overturned Roe v. Wade, returning the issue of legality of abortion to the states, in recognition of the conservative justices appointed by Trump. But it does not call for a national abortion ban, as many abortion opponents had sought. The Illinois GOP’s state platform approved in May continued its long-standing expression of support for “a human life amendment to the federal and Illinois constitutions affirming the right to life of unborn children.” The state GOP also approved a resolution attacking Illinois Democrats for their “extremist pro-abortion agenda.” Democrats successfully used the high court’s decision to overturn Roe as a rallying cry in the 2022 midterm elections and are heavily promoting reproductive rights in the 2024 campaign. The Illinois GOP state platform also continues to oppose same-sex marriage, stating that “the ideal environment for children is within a two-parent family based on the principle of marriage between one man and one woman” and backing a constitutional amendment to that effect. . .Salvi, the new Illinois GOP chair, is an attorney who mounted an unsuccessful challenge to Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates in the 2022 general election, losing by more than 15 percentage points. Her platform on the campaign trail was typical of many Republicans today: She opposed abortion rights, though when asked about the prospect of a federal abortion ban that would outlaw the procedure in all states, she said she thinks laws regulating abortion are “best made by individual states” — in line with Trump’s latest position. She also expressed support for constructing a wall along the southern border with Mexico to halt illegal immigration, one of Trump’s central goals during his single presidential term. During a Daily Herald candidate forum for the 2022 GOP primary, Salvi also resisted saying whether the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump. “Joe Biden is our president,” Salvi said. “I wish we had a different president to meet this moment, but we don’t.” Salvi also ran for the U.S. House in 2006 but lost in the Republican primary. Her husband, Al, was elected as a state representative in 1992 and served two terms before making unsuccessful bids for U.S. Senate in 1996 and for secretary of state in 1998.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters blast Project 2025. Virtually every federal employee is a Democrat who is anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-married people, anti-non-poor people, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. As one of the few Republican federal employees, I worked for, worked with, and supervised the aforesaid for almost 30 years.

For example, if 20% of White men pass the CPA examination on their first attempt, then 20% of minority women should pass the examination on their first attempt. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 years old in 1979. My Democrat coworkers who minority and/or female who they had promoted over me or were going to promote over me either had not taken the examination or had failed to pass it.)

— My father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn me as having filthy rich parents. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school.
