https://abc7chicago.com/post/protest-chicago-area-broadview-ice-facility-faith-march-expected-saturday-trump-admin-appeals-national-guard-ruling/17985076/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile, another federal judge ruled the metal fence outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility must come down by early next week. On Saturday morning, faith leaders marched to the facility. At 10 a.m. Saturday, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said one person has been arrested near the facility. They are charged with Criminal Damage to Government Property. The Department of Justice says the National Guard is needed to protect federal officers from violent attacks and called Judge April Perry’s move to grant the temporary restraining order “extraordinary.”)

SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=losers My critics/opponents call federal employees losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who do not make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My critics/opponents stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, I stress that Democrats run the federal government and I never became a Democrat and a) that I did not earn job-related master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48, b) that I did not earn job-related professional certifications until I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) that I did not earn a job-related professional license until I was 32. Further, my critics/opponents call Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) losers who are White, male, and/or nonveteran and who not become township party leaders, county party leaders, and Illinois Republican Party leaders. Extremely few RPCs become party leaders. My critics/opponents stress that while I have been a RPC since 1999, I have never been a party leader.

It all culminated when I was 49 in 1997 when they forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my minority subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like I did.

— I have been the Illinois reporter for GOPUSA since 2000. What do you say to my Republican critics/opponents who ever-increasingly do not want me a) to know about their events, b) to promote their events, c) to attend their events, d) to speak with anyone at their events, e) to ask questions of the speakers at their events, or f) to report on their events? Ever-increasingly they have their operatives and their dupes try to stop me from speaking with anyone at their events. Ever-increasingly, they blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of my problems, for all of your problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. According to them, I paint Republican candidates as being more conservative than they want to be painted and that causes them to lose elections. Should I start writing about my Republican critics/opponents and their operatives and their dupes? I would focus on those who have succeed in a) stopping me from attending their events and b) throwing me out of their events. – Dave Diersen

— What do your Republican critics/opponents do? Mine have their operatives and their dupes 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 wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my Republican critics/opponents who are still in the mix and who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. Most commonly, they reject the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform. They want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, citizens of foreign countries, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

https://www.audacy.com/wxrt/news/local/dabrowski-criticizes-pritzker-while-backing-feds-in-chicago
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski is voicing support for federal immigration enforcement in Chicago, while taking aim at Governor JB Pritzker’s handling of the issue. At a press conference in DuPage County, where he also picked up endorsements from former DuPage County Auditor Bob Grogan, former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, and former state Rep. Tom Morrison, Dabrowski was asked about armed federal agents patrolling downtown as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz.” Dabrowski said he believes state leaders should work with federal authorities instead of opposing them. “I really wish the governor would cooperate with the federal authorities so that we don’t have to have federal authorities running around chasing people,” Dabrowski said. “By not cooperating with the federal authorities, we’re creating more of a mess.” He also accused Pritzker of inflaming tensions around the federal presence. “I think the governor’s words have been fomenting violence and fomenting these agitators to get even more fired up. I wish Governor Pritz would come out and say, stop, we do not want violence. We will not attack our federal authorities. They’re doing their work,” Dabrowski said. The Wilmette Republican tied his criticism to his campaign pledge to repeal Illinois’ sanctuary state law, arguing the state should prioritize residents over what he called “billions of welcoming dollars” for new arrivals. Dabrowski, president of the conservative policy group Wirepoints, entered the 2026 GOP primary earlier this month as the early fundraising leader. He faces a likely challenge from former state Sen. Darren Bailey, the GOP’s 2022 nominee, along with DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick and Lake Forest resident Joe Severino.)

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_b482fae5-201c-45e1-8c50-5908933dce3c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Gov. J.B. Pritzker remains unchallenged in the 2026 Democratic Party primary, Republican candidates for governor are lining up support. Former state Reps. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, and Tom Morrison, R-Palatine, announced their endorsements of former Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski on Monday. Ives supported former state Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, in 2022 but said there is a better option in 2026. “No one knows the issues better than Ted, and subsequently, nobody is better positioned to attract independent suburban voters on the merits of who can do better for Illinois families,” Ives said. Morrison said Dabrowski is the candidate who can win. “For the past 15 years I’ve known Ted, and whether I was in office or out, I’ve been so grateful for his insights and understanding and how to get Illinois on the new and better path that we’re capable of and that we deserve if we get the right leadership,” Morrison said. Ives, Morrison and former DuPage County Auditor Bob Grogan endorsed Dabrowski at a press conference in Wheaton. Dabrowski also announced several six-figure donors to his campaign. Uline CEO Richard Uihlein and Madison Dearborn co-founder James Perry donated $250,000 each to Ted for Illinois. Investor Noel Moore gave $125,000 and five others gave $100,000 each. The Republican nominee will likely face a significant financial disadvantage against incumbent Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Ives said she believes Dabrowski can win his first attempt at public office, even though Pritzker is a billionaire with the political infrastructure and backing of the Democratic Party of Illinois, which was built by former Illinois House Speaker and DPI Chairman Michael Madigan. “Madigan’s headed to prison. We know it’s a David vs. Goliath fight, but we’re already meeting with people around the state that have had it with Governor Pritzker,” Ives said, pointing out that “David won!” In 2018, Ives challenged incumbent Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner in the Republican primary and lost. Bailey launched his second gubernatorial run last week after falling to Pritzker in the 2022 general election. Concerned Parents of Illinois founder Kristina McCloy said she is supporting Bailey and his running mate, Cook County Republican chairman Aaron Del Mar. “If you are tired of watching Illinois sink under radical ideologies and leadership, then this is your team. Darren Bailey and Aaron Del Mar are the fighters that Illinois family needs,” McCloy said. DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and Lake Forest businessman Joe Severino are also seeking the GOP nomination. Mendrick is endorsed by sheriffs in Iroquois, Jefferson and Macon counties as well as by Carol Stream Mayor Frank Saverino. Mendrick’s running mate is U.S. Army veteran Robert Renteria.)

https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/retirement/retirement-after-75-finances-life-b21410b9
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost 9% of Americans 75 and older were working or looking for work last year, up from 6% two decades earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the share between 65 and 74 rose to 27% in 2024, versus 22% in 2004. The government estimates those percentages will rise more along with the aging population. There are plenty of reasons people delay retirement until later in life. Some have financial worries. Many are highly educated professionals and business owners who enjoy what they do too much to stop entirely, said Nicole Maestas, an economist and professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School. Many who work longer are self-employed and might have greater control over their work hours. Others never found the right time to leave. The financial benefits of delaying retirement can be significant. A person who continues to earn some income, even on a part-time basis, is likely to withdraw less from their savings, preserving more for later in life or heirs. People who work longer may also be able to delay Social Security, which increases its payouts by up to 8% for every year they refrain from collecting a check between ages 62 and 70.)

https://www.google.com/search?q=blaming+problems+on+others
(FROM THE POSTING: Blaming others is a defense mechanism used to avoid self-responsibility, protect self-esteem, and manage guilt or shame by deflecting personal accountability onto others. This unhealthy coping strategy, also known as deflection, prevents personal growth and creates unhealthy relationship dynamics, leading to a cycle of personal challenges. To overcome blaming, it’s important to understand its root causes, practice self-reflection, and learn to take healthy responsibility for one’s actions and emotions. )

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/president-donald-trumps-doj-argues-against-gun-ban-signed-by-gov-jb-pritzker-after-highland-park-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump’s Department of Justice weighed in Monday against the ban on high-powered firearms that Illinois and Pritzker passed after the Highland Park Fourth of July mass shooting in 2022 but found itself on the defensive as an appellate court justice grilled an assistant attorney general about whether “facts matter” as she tried to justify the administration’s position. In arguing before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the nation has a “strong interest” in ensuring that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms is “not relegated to a second-class right” and criticized claims from state officials that certain guns covered by the ban are suited more for military operations than routine self-defense. But Judge Frank Easterbrook interrupted Dhillon early during the five minutes the court allowed her to speak even though the federal government is not a party to the case. Easterbrook noted the legal challenge from state officials resulted from a ruling by a district court in southern Illinois that determined the ban was unconstitutional, while a court in northern Illinois previously ruled a similar ban was legally sound. “Suppose the (southern Illinois) district court had found every contested issue of fact in favor of the state. Would that affect your review of the statute’s constitutionality?” asked Easterbrook, who was appointed to the bench in the 1980s by Republican President Ronald Reagan.)

Far too many become leaders in Republican organizations to kill planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. It all comes out in the wash. As time goes on, it is more and more and more obvious which planks in the Republican Party platform that my critics/opponents who led/lead the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) reject. 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. As time goes on, because I promote the aforesaid planks, it becomes more and more and more obvious that my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes a) remove me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) end my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) defeat my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I should write about my critics/opponents who are still in the mix, who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me, and the planks that they reject and why.

He had recently graduated from high school and was sorting out his future after being rejected from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He had come to meet a local Illinois group, Patriots United, focused on issues like lower taxes and choice in school education during the Tea Party era. Maida Korte, 71, a leader of the group, recalled that the conversation turned to their shared foundational Christian values, as it often did with him. “He never thought of it as, ‘I’m going to go into the spiritual arena and talk about political things,’” she said. “He was, ‘I want to talk about spiritual things, and in order to do that, I have to enter the political arena.’”)

FORTUNE
— Charlie Kirk’s memorial was one of the most heavily fortified events of its kind. The more that you do to defend and advance conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform, the more that Democrat and RINO leaders will do to destroy you. I defend and advance conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write about those Democrat and RINO leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have done the most to destroy me since 2000.

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Kirk defended and advanced the Republican Party platform. Your attitude toward Kirk shows your attitude toward not only conservative activists, but toward the Republican Party. Democrats and RINOs boycott Kirk events.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes convicted as part of Jan. 6 riot to speak to GOP-tied group, creating conflict in Geneva. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) was a hate group. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT in 2012.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/geneva-oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rhodes’ event is part of a series of talks, titled “Pints & Politics,” sponsored by the Geneva-based Three Headed Eagle Alliance, a group headed by Debbie Kanarowski, a member of the Illinois GOP State Central Committee. In heavily blue Illinois, where every statewide officeholder is a Democrat, the state’s Republican Party has continued to shift to the right, and segments of the party leadership have highlighted its more conservative voices. Others who have participated in the “Pints & Politics” series include state lawmakers from the conservative Illinois Freedom Caucus and Ted Dabrowski, the conservative activist and former president of research outfit Wirepoints who is running in the GOP primary for governor.)
