GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should form a National Association of Conservative Journalists. I am a member of the Society of Professional Journalists. I am an independent conservative Republican political and government news and commentary aggregator. I should write about my critics/opponents who have slandered me the most as not being a legitimate journalist. They ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth the fact a) that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and that since January 1, 2005, GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have included links to almost 492,000 articles, b) that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, and c) that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I would focus on my critics/opponents who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have lots religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen

NBC5
— Democrats say “Donald Trump to visit Chicago for National Association of Black Journalists Convention. Former President Donald Trump will participate in a conversation and question-and-answer session with political journalists on the opening day of the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.” I am a conservative political/government journalist. There are extremely few conservative political/government journalists in Illinois. I believe in full disclosure. Anticipate/expect that those who share my demographics are more likely to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters because they share my conservative political/government opinions. In addition to being conservative, I am Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I have three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (accounting). Further, I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Further, I served as the chairman of a conservative political organization (TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois) for 7 years and on the leadership team of another conservative organization (Illinois Center Right Coalition) for 4 years. Further, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office). Further, I was a union member for almost 12 years. Further, I worked my way through college. Further, I have lived in Wheaton since 1978 and in Illinois since 1948.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “While NABJ does not endorse political candidates as a journalism organization, we understand the serious work of our members, and welcome the opportunity for them to ask the tough questions that will provide the truthful answers Black Americans want and need to know.” The event won’t be open to the public but will be livestreamed on the NABJ’s YouTube and Facebook pages. Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, was invited to participate as well, NABJ stated. As of late Monday, her confirmation was pending.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “President Trump accomplished more for Black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy,” the Trump campaign claimed in a press release. “Historic rates of Black voters now support President Trump, and the reason is simple: Black voters know that President Trump is the only presidential candidate who can deliver results on day one because he already has, including landmark unemployment rates for Black Americans, increased median income for Black households, historic permanent funding for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), comprehensive bipartisan criminal justice reform, and nearly $50 billion in funds to revitalize Opportunity Zones,” his campaign continued.)

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/05/16/more-americans-want-the-journalists-they-get-news-from-to-share-their-politics-than-any-other-personal-trait/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans say it is not important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their political views, age, gender or other traits. But people are more likely to say it is important for journalists to share their politics than any other characteristic we asked about. And certain demographic groups place more value than others on the personal traits of their journalists. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans how important it is for the journalists they get news from to have six personal characteristics that are similar to their own. About four-in-ten Americans say it is at least somewhat important that they get news from journalists who share their political views (39%). That is nearly double the share who say the same about getting news from journalists who share their religious views (22%) or who talk or sound like them (20%). Smaller shares say they want to get news from journalists who are similar to them in age (15%), share their race or ethnicity (14%), or share their gender (10%). On several of these questions, opinions vary based on respondents’ political views, age and other personal traits. Political views Similar shares of Republicans and Democrats say it is at least somewhat important for the news they get to come from journalists who share their political views. Four-in-ten Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say this, compared with 41% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. When combining party and ideology, people who place themselves at either end of the political spectrum are more likely than those toward the center to say journalists’ politics are important. Roughly half each of conservative Republicans (47%) and liberal Democrats (50%) say it is important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their politics. Smaller shares of liberal and moderate Republicans (29%) and conservative and moderate Democrats (33%) hold this view. Age A bar chart showing that younger people more likely to want news from journalists of a similar age. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to say they want news from journalists who are around the same age as them. Among U.S. adults ages 18 to 29, 23% say this is at least somewhat important, compared with one-in-ten of those ages 65 and older. Younger adults are also more likely than older adults to say it’s important that the journalists they get news from are the same gender as them; still, large majorities say this is not important. Some 16% of those ages 18 to 29 say it is at least somewhat important for journalists to share their gender, versus 6% of those 65 and older. Race or ethnicity Black Americans are more likely than other racial or ethnic groups to say it is important they get news from journalists who share several of their characteristics – particularly their race or ethnicity. About four-in-ten Black Americans (41%) say it is at least somewhat important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their race or ethnicity. A quarter of Hispanic Americans, 20% of Asian Americans and just 5% of White Americans say the same. For more information on how Black Americans answered these questions, read our report on Black Americans and news. Religion A bar chart showing that White evangelicals, Black Protestants are most likely to want news from journalists with shared religious views. Overall, Americans who identify with a religion are more likely than those who are religiously unaffiliated to find it at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views (26% vs. 15%). Among Christians, Protestants are more likely than Catholics to say it is important for journalists to share their religious views (30% vs. 21%). But there are also differences among Protestants and among Catholics: White evangelical Protestants (37%) and Black Protestants (33%) are about twice as likely as White nonevangelical Protestants (16%) to say this. About three-in-ten Hispanic Catholics say this (28%), compared with 17% of White Catholics. Among Jewish Americans, just 10% say it’s at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats and RINOs oppose E-Verify. Democrats because illegals vote for Democrats and RINOs because RINOs want cheap labor. Illegal immigration harms low-skilled American workers because it drives wages down. It especially harms younger Americans whose parents are not wealthy. Because my parents were not wealthy, I had to work my way through college. I was able to do that back in the 1960s, but I would not be able to do that today.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/15-years-since-federal-minimum-wage-increased_n_669918ece4b047588a4ae3c5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Tom Cotton (Ark.) proposed a plan in 2021 that would hike the federal wage floor from $7.25 to $10 per hour while instituting a nationwide mandate that employers use E-Verify, the system meant to confirm workers are not undocumented. Some, but not all, states currently require employers to use E-Verify when hiring. Many Democrats viewed the E-Verify provision as a poison pill and the proposed increase as insufficient. The party has coalesced around a minimum wage of at least $15, a level most Americans support in polling.)

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/who-kamala-harris-vp-pick-candidate-odds.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker PROS: J.B. Pritzker is the popular second-term governor of Illinois. He has been an outspoken defender of abortion rights, and his nonprofit group, Think Big America, has funded abortion-rights efforts across the country. Pritzker has also been an active Biden campaign surrogate and is known for aggressively attacking Trump. Perhaps most important, Pritzker is loaded: The Hyatt Hotels heir has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion. He has self-financed campaigns in the past and could help ensure that money is not a problem for the Democratic ticket. CONS: Illinois is a blue state, so a Pritzker pick won’t really help Democrats in the Electoral College. He’s not very well known nationally, and putting the richest U.S. politician on the ticket may not go over well with some voters. PRITZKER’S STANCE: He endorsed Harris, saying, “She represents our party’s best chance to defeat Donald Trump in November, and I will work my heart out to help her do that.” He has yet to comment on potentially being her VP. AUDITION CLIP: Here’s Pritzker telling everyone what he really thinks about Trump:)

(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — Yesterday, Illinois Democrats denied reality voting against condemning Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed cities like Chicago and others across the nation. Every Democrat (except one who lacked the courage to vote on the position) voted down the resolution, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Democrats in this state have told us to believe our lying eyes so many times, they’ve started to do it themselves. From denying unquestionable outmigration numbers to gaslighting families with tax hikes they call tax cuts, the lies have become so extreme that Democrats in this state actually believe Vice President Harris’s handling of the border was not an unmitigated disaster. Under the Biden/Harris administration, border interactions have skyrocketed, reaching an all time peak of 250,000 just this past December. Democrats who voted to applaud Vice President Harris’s border policy should know that her failures are your failures this November.“)

— How Vice President Kamala Harris got started in politics. – William La Jeunesse
https://www.yahoo.com/news/vice-president-kamala-harris-got-165231260.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Kamala Harris got her start in politics at age 29, when she was just out of law school, at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she met a 60-year-old kingmaker: California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown — arguably then the state’s most powerful politician. Brown, while estranged from his wife, remained married. However, socially, he and Harris were seen everywhere and never denied being close. Brown appointed Harris to several well-paid state commissions: the state Insurance Commission, the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later, the California Medical Assistance Commission. Harris came from a learned household. She was born in Oakland, California, to an Indian-born mother and a Jamaican-born father. Both were professors — one at Berkeley, the other at Stanford. Harris’ parents divorced when she was 7. Following her parents’ split, she moved to Illinois, then to Quebec, Canada, alongside her sister and mother. After high school, Harris attended Howard University, where she joined the debate team and claimed to demonstrate “almost every weekend.” Later, she attended Hastings College of Law, where, like many of her classmates, she failed her first attempt at the California bar exam, but she passed the second time. In 1998, Harris took a job at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, but was later demoted after opposing a measure to try juveniles as adults for felony crimes. After quitting, Harris took a job in the city attorney’s office, and with Brown’s help, raised $600,000 to defeat her former boss to become San Francisco DA. The city’s campaign ethics board fined Harris $30,000 – the highest fine ever levied at the time – for violating campaign finance limits. “I made a very conscious and deliberate decision to become a prosecutor,” she said during a 2003 debate. “I think San Francisco wants a progressive district attorney who is also effective.” As San Francisco DA, she became a controversial figure for opposing the death penalty — even for cop killers — and pursued three-strikes convictions only when they involved violent felonies. After a man murdered officer Isaac Espinoza and Harris refused to pursue the death penalty, Harris received a rare rebuke from Sen. Dianne Feinstein. “I think this district attorney made a very big mistake. As a matter of fact, if I had known she had said that in her campaign, I never would have supported her,” Feinsein said at the time. As district attorney, Harris prosecuted marijuana crimes but rarely sought prison time. In 2010, she became the first woman to serve as California’s attorney general, where she opposed the state’s ban on affirmative action and asked the state Supreme Court to “reaffirm its decision that public colleges and universities may consider race as one factor in admissions decisions.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled affirmative action unconstitutional. As AG, she prioritized environmental crimes, obtaining millions in fines from oil companies for failing to monitor underground storage leaks. In 2016, she ran for U.S. senator and won by outmaneuvering Rep. Loretta Sanchez for the union and Latino vote. Harris also had the support of then-President Obama, who called her brilliant, dedicated and tough, adding, “She also happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country.” Harris’ appeal is partly demographic, but her law enforcement background also made her an appealing running mate in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests and rising crime in some cities. In 2019, Harris dismissed criticism of her record as a prosecutor for jailing marijuana offenders and even joked about her own previous cannabis use. “Have you ever smoked?” she was asked on the “Breakfast Club” radio show in 2019. “I have, and I inhaled. I did it, I did it, and it was a long time ago,” she admitted. As district attorney, however, she pushed for higher bail for gun crimes and sought minimum 90-day sentences for possession of concealed or loaded weapons. Later, as a presidential candidate, Harris said she would pursue universal background checks and a ban on assault-style rifles. “I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” she said during a CNN town hall in December 2019. CNN anchor Jake Tapper also suggested to Harris that her “Medicare-for-all” proposal might eliminate private health insurance. Harris’ defense was, “The idea is, everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them giving you approval, going through the paperwork … let’s eliminate that. Let’s move on.” Her signature tax proposal cost an estimated $3 billion. It would have provided a $3,000 tax credit for individuals and $6,000 for married couples. She also proposed lowering pay disparities by requiring large companies to pay men and women in similar jobs equally. Another proposal aimed at raising teacher pay by $13,500. In a 2020 campaign video she explained her economic approach, saying, “It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” As a candidate for president in 2020, Harris dropped out before the Iowa caucuses. As a candidate, some viewed her policies as too far left, where she seemed to favor big government to solve income and gender inequality.)

Since 1998, my critics/opponents have stressed how my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives treated Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ). They have always stressed that constructively, my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives have always rejected the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they have always promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination.

— Democrats say “Things to know about AKA, Kamala Harris’ sorority. The vice president is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc., a Black Greek-letter organization. Her more than 300,000 “sorors” plan to play a large role in the November presidential election.” (COMMENT: When you were in college, were you a member of a fraternity or sorority? I was not. I had to work my way through college. My parents never attended college. I lived with them in Crete while took classes at UIC 1966-1968, 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.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-sorority-aka-alpha-kappa-alpha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harris joined AKA as an undergraduate student at Howard in 1986. She has acknowledged the “major influence” AKA has had on her life, even since childhood, when her aunt, Christine Simmons, was initiated at Howard in 1950. When Harris ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020, many referred to the sorority as her “secret weapon.” And when Harris accepted the vice presidential nomination later that year, she made sure to acknowledge the sorority, saying, “Family is my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha … our Divine 9 … and my HBCU brothers and sisters.” Earlier this month, Harris delivered the keynote address at the AKA’s biennial national convention in Dallas. In her speech to over 20,000 members, Harris called fellow AKAs to action.)
— Democrats say “JD Vance thinks childless Americans have no stake in society.” Are you childless? My wife and I are childless. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me big time. I should write a book about them. They demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me big time a) because we gave up trying to have children without trying IVF even though they knew that our doctor had advised against it because we both had major fertility problems, b) because we did not adopt, and c) because we did not become foster parents. They crowed that they had children. They stressed that their wives had little or no income and that it cost lots of money to raise children. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981. They were furious a) that I went with my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, b) that we had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984, c) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, and d) that we saved lots of money for our retirement.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Governor Pritzker Treats Illinois Like a Stepping Stone
https://illinois.gop/governor-pritzker-treats-illinois-like-a-stepping-stone/
(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — As Democrats from across the country scramble to get into Vice President Kamala Harris’s good graces, JB Pritzker has joined the fray hitting the liberal national media circuit as the latest Governor to kiss the ring in a desperate attempt to leave his state for Washington. Pritzker has made no secret that he has ambitions beyond *just* governing our state. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “No one is surprised that JB Pritzker is chomping at the bit to leave Illinois. He’s shown more interest in campaigning around the country this year than he has in reducing the tax burden that has made Illinois the least “tax friendly” state in the country and 2nd in the country for residents leaving. We welcome Vice President Harris considering Governor Pritzker, because his poor track record would all but guarantee our neighbors, Wisconsin and Michigan, swing Republican, as they’ve benefitted from the mismanagement of our state by an out of touch billionaire. He’s all yours, madam Vice President.”)
CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Pritzker says he wants to make Illinois the best state in the country for Blacks to sell pot. (COMMENT: Have you used pot? I have not used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, I doubt that I would have been able to a) earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) earn job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or d) earn a job-related professional license in 1981. S.S. Kresge, Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO would not have hired me in 1964, 1966, 1970, 1971, and 1980 respectively. I would not have been able to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1978, etc. I would not have been able to buy condos in 1972, 1974, or 1976. I would not have been able to a) get married and buy a home with my wife in Wheaton in 1978 , b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.)

JUDICIAL WATCH
— Pentagon DEI Budget Surges for Military-Wide Woke Training to Root out “White Privilege” (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI to get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job related bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license. I should write a book about that. Further, while I have served as a Republican Precinct Committeeman for the last 24+ years, RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to get rid of conservative committeemen, and especially those like me who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.judicialwatch.org/pentagon-dei-budget-surges-for-military-wide-woke-training-to-root-out-white-privilege/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon dedicates tens of millions of dollars annually to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the armed forces and cadets at the nation’s military academies receive extensive training about racism, sexism, unconscious bias, and intersectionality. A year-long research project conducted by a special commission at a public university think tank has uncovered the unbelievable details behind a costly Department of Defense (DOD) initiative to root out so-called white privilege white supremacy in the military. The study, conducted by the Center for American Institutions at Arizona State University (ASU), began as a review of civic education in the military and uncovered a fervent woke movement throughout the nation’s armed forces. “Our research team did not expect to find Critical Race Theory so embedded and pervasive,” the center’s director, Donald T. Critchlow, an ASU American political history professor, writes in the introduction of a recently published report. He confirms that there is CRT and DEI training across the military from the Pentagon through the ranks. It is important to note that the sole purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to defend the nation against external enemies, therefore the DOD’s mission is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the country’s security. The agency is the government’s largest with 3.4 million service members and civilians—in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard—stationed at 4,800 sites in over 160 countries. Under the Biden administration the DOD budget for DEI training has increased significantly from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86.5 million in fiscal year 2023, the report states. The agency is requesting a whopping $114.7 million for fiscal year 2024, according to DOD figures obtained by ASU researchers. “Training is implemented by a vast DEI bureaucracy that extends from senior leaders at the Pentagon to the lowest ranks,” the report says, adding that the “U.S. military now has a well-developed, taxpayer-funded DEI bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out ‘white privilege’ and white supremacy, and that allows for (and sometimes teaches) the overt criticism of the United States, its founding, its founders, and its founding documents, alleging that they are all rooted in systemic racism.”)

— Donald Trump Is Right About Jewish Voting. – Alan Joseph Baue (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in encouraging/forcing their many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take many/big adverse actions against their few remaining Republican employees. I should write a book about that.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2024/07/26/donald-trump-is-right-about-jewish-voting-n2642512
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump for years has said that American Jews are voting against their interests. This time around, maybe things will finally change. Donald Trump tends to be blunt in his statements, and he has for years said that the American Jewish community is voting against its interests. And he is right. While orthodox Jews support Trump by well over 90 percent, the Orthodox make up a relatively small proportion of the overall Jewish community. And there is no question that the larger movements—Reform and Conservative—are far more liberal and left-leaning. Sixty-eight percent of American Jews voted for Biden over Trump in 2020. This is on the low side; the percentage of Jews voting Democratic has historically been higher.)

Those who have not had to pay the price of AA or DEI do not want to criticize AA or DEI.

I should write a book about them. They demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me big time a) because we gave up trying to have children without trying IVF even though they knew that our doctor had advised against it because we both had major fertility problems, b) because we did not adopt, and c) because we did not become foster parents. They crowed that they had children. They stressed that their wives had little or no income and that it cost lots of money to raise children. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981. They were furious a) that I went with my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, b) that we had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984, c) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, and d) that we saved lots of money for our retirement.

— Democrats ask “What pushed President Biden to withdraw from the reelection race?” What pushed you to make big decisions? According to my Democrat GAO superiors, their threats and the adverse actions that they had taken against me had nothing to do with my decision to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. Their “offer” ended on September 30, 1997 and I would not be eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They made it extremely clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would make my next 6 years a living hell. Their threat to constructively downgrade me was the least of it. They had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, b) never promoted me to GS-14 and delayed my promotions to GS-13, 12, and 11, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my earning a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job-related professional license (CPA) in 1981. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my knowledge of IRS that I had acquired working 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. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

— DuPage County GOP Statement on Biden Withdrawal
https://dupagegop.com/
(PRESS RELEASE: During the debate a few weeks ago, it became evident to all of us what the Democratic Party elite have known for some time: Joe Biden is unfit for the presidency. Only when this became universally apparent did the Democratic Party elite like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and other Washington insiders decide to pressure Biden to withdraw, thereby disenfranchising the millions of Democratic primary voters who backed him. In the next few days, we will see these same elites, who have incessantly preached about “saving democracy,” abandon our country’s democratic principles by imposing their preferred presidential candidate on the American electorate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker, 59, was an active Biden campaign surrogate, traveling to battleground states to stump for him. He founded a nonprofit committee, Think Big America, to advocate for abortion rights and to combat extremism, with a focus on battleground states. Pritzker, a second-term governor who is popular in the state, has been outspoken about protecting women’s reproductive rights and has held up Illinois as a beacon for women seeking access to care. Pritzker has signed a host of progressive initiatives into law, including a ban on assault weapons, ghost guns and switches; an increase in the minimum wage; a measure to enshrine abortion protections into law; and measures to legalize cannabis and expunge records. He has invested in early childhood education, working toward universal preschool in the state. Pritzker has also demonstrated considerable political savvy, having landed the 2024 Democratic National Convention in his state after repeated lobbying. Pritzker is widely considered to be a future presidential contender. As a billionaire who has self-financed his campaigns in the past, he is positioned to effortlessly step into a national campaign and immediately be flush with cash. In a statement issued after Biden’s announcement, Pritzker didn’t address whether he would run for president or endorse Harris.)

— The ‘woke’ ways of President Biden and Kimberly Cheatle’s US Secret Service – Rich Calder (COMMENT: Hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and females and getting rid of their Republican employees was my Democrat superiors’ to priority. All my Democrat coworkers in the federal government who my Democrat superiors promoted over me a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had.)
https://nypost.com/2024/07/20/us-news/the-woke-ways-of-kimberly-cheatles-us-secret-service/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has unabashedly embraced woke initiatives at the agency ever since she took over two years ago — including recruiting at Pride events, hosting seminars on pronoun use and even bringing in a popular YouTube female daredevil to attract a more diverse workforce. Cheatle, 53, unveiled her marching orders in the Secret Service’s 2023-2027 strategic plan, demanding agents to be “focused on achieving excellence through talent, technology and diversity,” documents reviewed by The Post show. “We must embrace diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) across the agency,” wrote Cheatle, a longtime friend of First Lady Jill Biden who was plucked in 2022 from her previous job as global security boss at PepsiCo by President Biden to be the second woman to lead the federal agency. “DEIA must be demonstrated by all employees — leading by example — through ‘every action every day.’”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/sherifew/2024/07/21/donald-trumps-shooter-a-product-of-government-schools-indoctrination-n2642218
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden and others are urging Americans not to make assumptions about motive, but we are all eager to know — why — what would cause a young man to want to assassinate Donald Trump? I instantly think of his young age; not long out of high school having had his head recently pumped full of leftist indoctrination. With Critical Marxist theories intended to pit people against one another, and so-called “social justice” indoctrination happening in early grades and intensifying over time, children are taught to hate themselves, others and their country. So, someone who loves our country and is committed to making it great again is an obvious target for “social justice” at any cost. We saw violence, looting, burning and even murder following George Floyd’s death with young people rioting in the streets, destroying communities unfettered by law enforcement and media justifying their actions. With inaction, we told young people violence, lawlessness and in some cases, murder is justified in the name of “social justice.” We see it on college campuses with antisemitic protestors yelling “Death to America.” These young people are either foreign terrorists who should be deported or they are domestic terrorists that need to be on a watchlist and investigated for treason. Although Caucasian herself, some pages of the Nashville transgender shooter’s manifesto expressed her hatred for White people and she specifically claimed her victims had White privileges. This is the nonsense they teach in government schools. Another thing I would wager these young, violent criminals have in common is having been medicated throughout their school experience and on into adulthood with stimulants and psychotropic medications linked to violence. A common thread among shooters is the use of medications prescribed to treat mental illness, especially among young assailants. The Nashville transgender shooter was under care for an emotional disorder and Trump’s would-be-assassin is reported to have been treated for depressive disorder. These young criminals are medicated most of their childhood with Adderall later combined with anti-depressants, and often hormones contrary to their biology, which is a cocktail for violence, hallucinations, suicide and homicide. School shootings have more than doubled in the last ten years following the full implementation of the Common Core standards. These national standards begin teaching children to advocate for change in society in pre-kindergarten grades and rachets up through high school burdening students with the responsibility of being social justice warriors. Since George Floyd’s death and the call to defund school police officers, school shootings have doubled with 35 incidents already in 2024. During this time many government schools embraced the Black Lives Matter movement and replaced school police officers with counselors and social workers leaving students vulnerable. Just before the assassination attempt, Trump’s Platform was released with real limitations on the far left’s transformative agenda pushing Marxism, LBGTQ+ ideology (with emphasis on the “T”), White privilege and anti-American propaganda. The following are three of 20 planks in Trump’s Platform, which he pledges to achieve very quickly after the election with the help of a Republican Congress: Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children. Keep men out of women’s sports. Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again. The paradox is glaring in that these very policy positions, which may have influenced the shooter to attempt to murder the president, could be some of the solutions to ending the evil and hate that influences children in government schools. While we continue to seek answers as to why so many young people are prone to violence and particularly murder in today’s culture, I would pray we can find some good that evolves from evil. I believe the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has fostered unity in our country, much like after 9/11. As much as the media and government schools stoke the fires that divide our citizens, this ill-fated shooting caused Trump to get back up and call for Americans to keep fighting — to save our country! Trump is a uniter and many who have always voted Democrat are uniting behind Trump despite differences on some policies. His bravery and God’s willingness to spare his life are just the right medicine for a nation that is hemorrhaging from division. I pray God will continue to use Donald Trump to heal our land and end the indoctrination of children in government schools.)

— Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Plans to Remove George Washington Statue from City Hall. – STEPHEN DAVIS (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn all those who immigrated to America before slavery was abolished. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois, they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.tpusa.com/live/chicago-mayor-brandon-johnson-plans-to-remove-george-washington-statue-from-city-hall
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He also addressed speculation that the removal is connected to growing concerns over historical figures who owned slaves, a reason cited for the removal of many statues of founding fathers from public spaces in recent years. . .The decision has sparked outrage among some members of the community and even members of the Chicago City Council. Council member Nicholas Sposato, who chairs the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Special Events, compared this move to the controversial removal of Christopher Columbus statues from two parks in the city. “When does this stop — the redoing everything and eliminating everything? I just don’t get it,” Sposato said. “He’s George Washington. He risked everything. We are who we are because of this man. He could have just stood down and not get involved with the [Revolutionary] war and came here and lived a good life. But he fought for who we are. He should be honored all over the place. Next, are we going to change the name of the streets” Sposato continued, mentioning that there are streets named Washington, Jefferson and Monroe. “When does it stop?”)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Democrats in Disarray on Biden CHICAGO — After a week of unity in Milwaukee, Republicans in Illinois and across the country are ready to win in November. Democrats on the other hand don’t even know who will be at the top of the ticket yet. Joe Biden’s poll numbers keep getting worse and big name Democrats are calling it quits on the President. Sean Casten joined a growing chorus of Democrats calling for Biden to step down this morning, a chorus that includes Reps. Chuy Garcia, Mike Quigley, and Eric Sorenson. But former Biden/Pritzker staffer Nikki Budzinski and Senator Dick Durbin are #RidinWithBiden. And Governor Pritzker? He’s supporting the “Democratic nominee” who is “apparently” Joe Biden. Sounds like a full throated endorsement to us. With less than a month to go until Democrats descend on Chicago, their party here in Illinois and across the country is in complete and utter disarray. 31 days to go.

My GPA suffered because instead of studying, I washed dishes 1964-1966 and I delivered mail 1966-1969.

— Democrats say “12 Ways To Champion DEI With Pay Transparency In The Workplace.” Federal salaries have always been extremely transparent. All my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates a) knew that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and b) knew that they would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

BLOOMBERG
— Democrats ask “Do Women Belong in the Secret Service?” and say “Former Agents Speak Out.” All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997), there was tremendous increasing Democrat pressure on my superiors to hire, retain, and promote women. I should write a book about that. If I had been a woman, GAO would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 in 1988 a) because I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976 and in accounting in 1980, b) because I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) because I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) because I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Democrats say “Millionaires list health, family, and financial security as their top priorities — in that order.” What are your top priorities in life? My top priorities include putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning. Because I have ever-increasingly spent so much time and money doing that since 2000, a) my health has suffered big time and b) my net worth is tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars less.

FED SMITH
— Democrats say “OPM Directs Agencies to Advance Pay Equity for Federal Employees. OPM is directing agencies to conduct independent pay gap analyses to advance pay equity throughout the federal workforce.” While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors always paid my coworkers who were Democrat, minority, female, veteran, and/or younger more than they paid me. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had.

— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, they assigned me to work for, work with, and/or supervise all the many females who they hired. Females were my superiors during my last 8 years at GAO and a female was my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years. Those females led GAO’s successful effort to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Further, during my last 8 years, they assigned me to supervise all their female employees who they wanted to get rid because they had serious performance problems. All the females who they promoted over me 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 CPA license that I had. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed to all my many female superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates that I opposed gender based preference giving.

— Trump in Milwaukee after assassination attempt, Illinois delegates make short trip north for RNC
https://wgntv.com/news/republican-national-convention-milwaukee/trump-prepares-for-rnc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A number of Illinois Republicans have made the short trek north to Milwaukee, an unlikely host for the RNC considering it’s a deeply Democratic city. However, Wisconsin is a key swing state in the upcoming election after Biden defeated Trump there in 2020 by less than a percentage point. “We were once inch away from not having a presidential nominee,” Aaron Del Mar of the Illinois Republican State Central Committee said in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump. “So, yes, certainly that is going to have an impact on who the VP pick is.” Other Illinois delegates say Republicans will use this week to underscore what they think one-party Democratic leadership has meant for Illinois. “The idea that immigrants should be getting more services than people of Chicago, it’s nuts,” Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter said. “It’s just wrong. “So I think it’s time for people to step back and see who it is that’s going to be delivering the kind of ideas and the kind of services that actually help the people of Illinois.” Illinois delegates will be set up near the back of the convention floor this week, next to Arkansas and just behind Texas. Swing states like Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are positioned much closer to the front.)

— Portrait of suspected gunman emerges after Trump assassination attempt. A recovered firearm was legally purchased by the suspect’s father, sources said.
https://abc7chicago.com/post/donald-trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-had-registered-republican/15058563/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Officials feared that the assassination attempt would inspire others. The assassination attempt against President Donald Trump “will likely be amplified in extremist messaging and heavily exploited by malicious actors as well as adversarial nation-states in mis/dis/mal-information aimed at fomenting division,” according to an NYPD intelligence product obtained by ABC News. “In the immediate hours after the shooting took place, multiple users on numerous online messaging platforms responded to the incident with support for the attack, overt calls for civil war, hostile rhetoric against FPOTUS Trump, threats against elected officials, and generalized calls for retaliatory violence,” according to the bulletin which was dated July 14, 2024. . . (Crooks) was working as a dietary aide at the Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, according to administrator Marcie Grimm. Thomas Matthew Crooks “performed his job without concern” and passed a background check, according to Grimm. “We are shocked and saddened to learn of his involvement as Thomas Matthew Crooks performed his job without concern and his background check was clean,” Grimm said in a statement. “We are fully cooperating with law enforcement officials at this time.” The firearm recovered at the scene was legally purchased by the suspect’s father, an urgent trace conducted by ATF found, according to multiple law enforcement sources. A source who has been briefed said the gun was an AR-15 style rifle that was purchased in 2013. . .Crooks had no known history of mental illness, per the FBI. His family is cooperating with investigators. “We’re looking into his background, his day-to-day activities, any writings, and social media posts that might help us identify what led to this shooting. And we have not seen anything threatening,” Rojek added. . .So far, investigators have not uncovered any ties to extremist organizations or individuals, though they continue to scour information from the suspect’s phone and other digital devices, according to the sources. Increasingly, the shooting was looking like a lone wolf attack, sources said. . .Myers said that Crooks “tended to be more of an interesting one” and described him as “more socially reserved” and someone who “didn’t have a ton of friends.” But he said he never heard Crooks discuss politics or, specifically, Donald Trump. . .Myers and another student said that Crooks tried to join the high school’s rifle team but was rejected and asked not to return after a “preseason” session. “He didn’t just not make the team, he was asked not to come back because how bad of a shot he was, it was considered like, dangerous,” said Myers. Another member of the team, who asked not to be named, told ABC News that there was a view that Crooks “wasn’t really fit for the rifle team.” “He also shot terrible,” the team member added. . .Crooks, however, did belong to a local shooting club, counsel for the club confirms to ABC News, Clairton Sportsmen’s Club. . .The classmate added that Crooks was interested in building computers and never discussed politics. . .It was too early in the investigation to say whether the suspect had been acting alone, Bivens said. Investigators were determining if anyone else had been involved, he said.)

— From the Uihleins to Prominent Business Owners, Who Are Illinois’ Biggest Republican Donors? – Nick Blumberg (COMMENT: What do major Republican donors think of you?)
https://news.wttw.com/2024/07/15/uihleins-prominent-business-owners-who-are-illinois-biggest-republican-donors
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump’s Top Donors: With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid — though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon. The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria). Other donations have gone to two firebrands in the U.S. House: U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) and U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida). Elizabeth Uihlein also made a $3,300 gift to former Vice President Mike Pence’s presidential campaign in 2023. Since 1998, the Uihleins and their company have made donations totaling nearly $92 million to Illinois-based candidates or committees, according to state election records. The Uihleins have also been active donors to a variety of PACs during the current election cycle. Including their contribution to the Trump campaign, they’ve made more than $61 million in donations to candidates and committees across the country last year and this year, according to federal election records. They’ve been most generous to two Downers Grove-based Super PACs affiliated with the conservative activist organization Restoration of America: Restoration PAC and Fair Courts America. Restoration of America’s founder, Doug Truax, was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2014 Illinois Republican primary for U.S. Senate, losing to Jim Oberweis. In total, the Uihleins have given the two PACs nearly $20 million in 2023 and 2024. They’re also longtime backers of the Club For Growth PAC, which has raked in nearly $16 million from the Uihleins this cycle. And while they’re now Trump mega-donors, they also contributed $3 million to Never Back Down, a super PAC supporting the failed presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. . .The Uihleins aren’t the only Illinoisans actively backing conservative political committees during this election cycle. Billionaire Ken Griffin — who famously railed against crime in Chicago and announced he’d move his hedge fund, Citadel, to Miami in 2022 — is still listed as an Illinois resident in some of the contributions that appear in federal election records. During the current campaign cycle, he’s pumped nearly $60 million into campaigns and committees across the country. He has given $10 million apiece to Maryland’s Future, which is supporting former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s bid for the U.S. Senate, and Keystone Renewal PAC, which is backing Republican David McCormick’s bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Pennsylvania. Griffin has also donated $6 million to the American Patriots PAC, a group that backs military veteran candidates that spent heavily in a successful bid to oust U.S. Rep. Bob Good (R-Virginia), who voted to unseat former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. While Griffin hasn’t been an active donor in Illinois campaigns recently, he did give $6,600 to the successful Nebraska Senate bid of Pete Ricketts, a Republican, who is part of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs. Craig Duchossois, whose billionaire family previously owned the Arlington Park horse racing track, has given more than $9 million to an array of candidates and committees this cycle. According to federal records, Duchossois gave $3 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, which backs GOP House candidates; $2 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, which supports Republican Senate candidates; and $1 million to the PAC associated with the Koch Brothers-founded group Americans for Prosperity. He also gave $13,200 to Ricketts’ campaign and an associated fund. . .Federal records show that during the current election cycle, the RNC has taken in $826,000 from Elizabeth Uihlein; $413,000 from Duchossois; and $250,000 from Gerson. . .Just 50 Illinoisans have given Trump $3,300 or more, the maximum amount under federal law per each election (primary and general). Compare that to 572 such contributions to Biden. The average contribution to Trump was $39, whereas Biden donations averaged $221. And the overall totals reflect the disparity in Illinois’ political leaning as well. Trump has taken in $3.7 million from Illinoisans, according to the most recent data available, while Biden has taken in $5.8 million.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— Jim Marter of Oswego, a delegate and the Republican candidate for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District, said on matters of foreign policy, there’s a clear consensus within the party since the old guard is no longer dominant. The old guard, he said, refers to “the old Republicans where a lot of them wanted to go into this, that, and the other war.” He said that contrasts with the current Republican stance. “I think for the most part,” he said, “Republicans are at this point, let’s say, ‘hey, if it doesn’t directly affect our national security, we don’t want to be involved.’” Marter opposes U.S involvement in the Ukraine War but does support U.S. funding to Israel in its war in Gaza. This aligns with Trump’s stance. Israel has received more U.S. aid than any other country since World War II, according to Reuters. – Maria Gardner Lara

https://www.pressrepublican.com/opinion/gop-platform-has-lost-its-way/article_2f8f9bca-4194-11ef-87fd-77a74dd03b36.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pro-life people believe abortion to be the human rights issue of our lifetime, one with eternal stakes. With the Republican Party’s changes to its platform regarding abortion, it’s hard to believe the GOP is in the cause for the long haul — never mind the eternal. The platform no longer calls for an end to abortion, opting instead for the leave-it-to-the-states position. This platform and likely presidential nominee Donald Trump have abandoned any even nominal claim to the moral high ground. Lauren Onak, vice-presidential candidate for the American Solidarity Party, is a pro-life convert who recently talked with me not just about saving babies but also helping people with immigration status and housing. If you are going to have an abortion because you don’t have anywhere to live, some pro-life people want to offer help. That’s the work of civil society— sometimes making use of government resources. If abortion is about human rights, ignoring women and children who need help is unacceptable. It doesn’t have to be this way. Henry Hyde, the late congressman, said something that remains true today: “The public virtue of hospitality has been grievously violated by abortion liberty,” he said. “And so, we must do better and we must do differently,” he said. “We must reclaim the heritage of public hospitality. We must become again become again a people capable of welcoming new life, weak life, dependent life, into our midst — and cherishing it,” Hyde went on. Onak is running with presidential candidate Peter Sonski. While they are not seriously expecting to have to move to D.C. come January, they have the right idea in wanting to offer an opportunity for Americans who feel politically homeless to vote in keeping with their values. Their platform is largely based on Catholic Social Teaching, even while they aim to be ecumenical. The Republican Party of 2024 does not reflect this thinking. Catholic convert Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance has declared his support for abortion pills, which cruelly leave women and girls alone to see the demise of the remains of their unborn children. I listened to him speak about the vulnerability of teen girls to the pro-abortion message at an Ohio March for Life in October 2023. But that was then. Republicans now believe they have no responsibility beyond their home states. And maybe not even entirely there — Vance, in a “Meet the Press” interview, cited an erroneous interpretation of a recent Supreme Court decision. He and Trump have both said it approved of abortion pills, when it was a mere ruling on standing that did no such thing. Hyde’s above quotes came before Roe v. Wade was overturned, but his words are relevant to Republicans who might want to seriously consider their abortion positions on something based on more than what Donald Trump wants and the prospects of the next election. The American Solidarity Party is a winning ticket this year, only inasmuch as it captures something of the pro-life vision — loving and welcome — that is all too often lost today. At least someone is giving it a try.)

“I’m very conscious as I sit in this chair now of making sure that we need to attract diverse candidates,” said Cheatle.
