GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which candidates on ballots in your precinct have you done the most to help elect? I should write a book about the candidates on ballots in my precinct who I have done the most to help elect since 2000. I would focus on a) the signatures that I got for them for their nominating petitions, b) the sign locations that I got for them, c) their campaign literature that I distributed for them, and d) the promotion that I gave their fundraisers. I would focus on the aforesaid who have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA newsletters the most for their not getting as many votes as they expected and/or for their defeats. I would focus on the aforesaid who are taking and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Should I write about my critics/opponents who do bad things that get into the public record and then punish me for my not covering that up? According to Wikipedia, “A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence, or other embarrassing information. Research has distinguished personal cover-ups (covering up one’s own misdeeds) from relational cover-ups (covering up someone else’s misdeeds). The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Perpetrators of a cover-up (initiators or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Should I write about my critics/opponents who are the most nasty/vicious? I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those 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 use their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work. – Dave Diersen

— Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the future is ever-increasingly bright for younger minorities and younger females because Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly give them more and more and more preference. But to give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Because younger White men are ever-increasingly crashing and burning, fewer and fewer and fewer of them are “marriage material.” Back in the good old days, that is, the 1960s and 1970s, before I got married, even though I was a White male who had to work his way through college, I was able to a) graduate debt-free with a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn a master’s degree when I was 27, c) buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, and 25, and d) buy a new townhome when I was 24, a studio condo in downtown Chicago when I was 25, and a one bedroom condo there when I was 27. When got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, my salary was $106,785/year in today’s dollars.

Will they stop me from attending the convention? Failing that, will they limit/stop my access to everything? They did everything that they could to stop me a) from learning about their DeSantis event, b) from attending their event, c) from speaking with anyone at their event, and d) from reporting on their event.

— Next Version of E-Verify Will Bring Big Changes – Roy Maurer (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) promote illegal immigration big time and b) vehemently oppose E-Verify.)
https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/talent-acquisition/everify-plus-big-changes-2024-pilot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposed features for the newest version of E-Verify would fundamentally change the way employment eligibility verification is conducted, according to a proposal from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). E-Verify NextGen—scheduled for release in 2024—integrates the Form I-9 process with E-Verify, the government’s electronic employment verification system, and shifts much of the process away from HR and to the new hires themselves. Employers must currently complete a new Form I-9 for each new hire and enter the information into E-Verify if they are enrolled in the program. “The proposed changes are significant,” said John Fay, an attorney and director of product strategy at Equifax Workforce Solutions. Fay was able to participate in a demo of the product. Using E-Verify NextGen, new hires would electronically enter their biographic information, citizenship or immigration status, and acceptable identity documents into E-Verify using their myEverify secure personal account. Once the employee’s identity and employment eligibility are confirmed by the system, the employer would be notified and can finish the verification by examining the documents—remotely, if taking advantage of the new alternative verification option. The submitted information will be used to create a completed Form I-9 available for download and storage by the employer. The current process relies on employer participation to correctly enter information on the Form I-9 and then transcribe that information into E-Verify, a practice which is less secure and sometimes results in data entry errors which can result in E-Verify mismatches, Fay said. “The idea behind NextGen is that the employee will be less likely to make a mistake with their own data,” he said. In addition, new hires would be notified if further action is needed to determine their employment eligibility, removing the employer’s primary role in the mismatch resolution process. Employees would receive notification of and resolve E-Verify mismatches directly with the government without requiring the employer to be an intermediary. This would create a more secure and private process that can speed up case resolution, according to USCIS. “The fact that employers are not involved in the process may sound appealing, but I know that employers have a vested interest in the verification process and will want to have a role in the process, so that could be an issue,” Fay said. Another new development is that employees would be able to carry their verification status with them when they change jobs. Currently, employees and employers must complete a new Form I-9 and enter a new E-Verify case—if an employer uses E-Verify—each time the employee starts a new job. “A key feature of NextGen is to allow employees to save their information in their myE-Verify account to be used for future employers,” USCIS said. “Once they receive their unique reference code from a new employer, the employee can simply update their information if necessary and complete the NextGen process with their new employer.” Fay said this feature—which still needs to be worked out in practice—is a common-sense approach. “If I’m a U.S. citizen and change jobs as much as some people do these days, why do I have to continually go through employment verification?” he asked. Overall, Fay said that E-Verify NextGen will be very useful for those employers still completing I-9s on paper. “For them, if they are also using E-Verify, it is a very manual process,” he said. “This will be a more seamless experience.” But Fay said that he’s not sure if E-Verify NextGen is the best option for larger employers because it doesn’t offer everything that an electronic I-9 system does. “Without a true electronic I-9 system, you still have to store the forms somewhere, you still have to do reverifications, you still have to make corrections and purge forms,” he said. “NextGen does not do any of those things. For many larger organizations, the electronic I-9 process is connected to the onboarding technology, the applicant tacking system, the payroll provider, which are all part of an integrated workflow. NextGen is not there yet but it’s good to see the government is moving in that direction.” E-Verify Required for Some E-Verify is voluntary except for federal contractors and in certain states which require all employers to use it, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. But evidence shows that E-Verify compliance is rarely enforced at the state level. Those employers not using E-Verify will still be required to complete the Form I-9 for new hires. Experts believe that the process enhancements included in NextGen are meant to be an incentive for more employers to voluntarily use the system. “The government is absolutely signaling to employers to consider using E-Verify because it can make the onboarding experience smoother,” Fay said. “It also plugs in nicely with the new alternative virtual procedure.” E-Verify NextGen will not replace the standard version of E-Verify for the time being and E-Verify employers will be able to choose which process they will utilize—the current E-Verify process or the NextGen version.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There may have been a few empty seats, but there was certainly no lack of heat as the 2024 Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention kicked off in Appleton Saturday. Elected officials from Washington, D.C. to Madison spoke about issues impacting Wisconsinites, ranging from abortion and immigration to the University of Wisconsin’s failure to enforce the law and condemn antisemitic behavior on the Milwaukee and Madison campuses. Opening remarks were given by Brian Schimming, Chairman Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Are we going to do what it takes to save America?” Schimming asked the audience. Foreign policy Speaking on the Federal legislative panel, Senator Ron Johnson, Rep. Van Orden, Rep. Bryan Steil tore apart the Democrats responses and failure to condemn antisemitism and enforce state law during recent protests. “We must stand with Israel. I stand with Israel,” said Van Orden, and the room applauded. . .Abortion Johnson urged the party to remain united to protect the right to life (pro-life). “Within the Republican Party, we have a broad spectrum … I think we all agree that life begins at conception, want to protect life,” Johnson said. “I completely respect that. But that’s not where probably most Americans, most Wisconsinites, and probably even most Republicans land,” Johnson added. . .The conservative media also was critical of the recent mainstream coverage of the UWM Pro-Palestinian protesters. A panelist said the mainstream media described the protests as “peaceful … or they (pro-Palestinian protesters) were just delivering food, or praying” when in reality they were chanting antisemitic slogans, graffitied sidewalks and walls, and erected illegal tents. “The things I described did not make most, if not all media reports,” the panelist said, noting “the media is censoring things.”)

— Questions concerning the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention in Collinsville May 24-25 – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who will the speakers at the convention be?
— How many delegates will attend and how many from each of the 102 counties?
— Who represents each of the 17 congressional districts on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee and what is their contact information?
— Who has replaced me as the member who represents the 3rd Congressional District on that committee and what reasons have been given for my removal?
— When will the committee post on the IRP website its most recent draft platform and list of resolutions?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote for or against the resolution that calls for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote for or against strengthening or weakening the following in the platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving)?
— Who are all the candidates for IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman? What are their qualifications? At this point, how many votes do each of them have?

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Who leads conservatives in Illinois today? Hopefully, by now, those leaders know which of the 17 members on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee are going to vote to strengthen the IRP platform and which ones are going to vote to weaken it. Because IRP leaders ever-increasingly say and do less to defend and advance the following planks in the Republican Party platform, I fear that efforts are underway to weaken those planks: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). IRP leaders ever-increasingly talk and/or act like they believe that to win elections in Illinois, the IRP has to be Democrat-Lite if not officially dump the aforesaid planks. If anti-conservative IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee members win by small margins on May 24 in Collinsville, conservative leaders should be ready to immediately file timely minority reports like the one that they filed at the 2016 convention so that delegates can vote for them on May 25. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Those who want to drive conservatives like me out of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) and destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO use the current system to elect IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. So of course, they vehemently oppose direct election of IRP SCC members. They take all the adverse actions that they can to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who support direct election. So far, they have a) ended my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ended my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ended my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006, j) ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

I am all of the aforesaid. MTRO leaders are overjoyed that I was removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. They vehemently opposed my seeking to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019. They vehemently opposed my seeking to be the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A longshot Missouri gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ku Klux Klan will stay on the Republican ticket, a judge ruled Friday. Cole County Circuit Court Judge Cotton Walker denied a request by the Missouri GOP to kick Darrell McClanahan out of the August Republican primary. McClanahan is running against Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, state Sen. Bill Eigel and others for the GOP nomination to replace Gov. Mike Parson, who is barred by term limits from seeking reelection. McClanahan’s lawyer, Dave Roland, said the ruling ensures that party leaders do not have “almost unlimited discretion to choose who’s going to be allowed on a primary ballot.” . . . The Missouri GOP accepted his party dues but denounced him after a former state lawmaker posted photos on social media that appear to show McClanahan making the Nazi salute. McClanahan confirmed the accuracy of the photos to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In his decision, Walker wrote that the Republican Party “has made clear that it does not endorse his candidacy, and it remains free to publicly disavow McClanahan and any opinions the plaintiff believes to be antithetical to its values.” “I’m not sure they ever actually intended to win this case,” said McClanahan’s lawyer, Roland. “I think the case got filed because the Republican Party wanted to make a very big public show that they don’t want to be associated with racism or anti-Semitism. And the best way that they could do that was filing a case that they knew was almost certain to lose.” The Associated Press’ emailed requests for comment to the Missouri GOP executive director and its lawyer were not immediately returned Friday. But Missouri GOP lawyers have said party leaders did not realize who McClanahan was when he signed up as a candidate back in February. McClanahan has argued that the Missouri GOP was aware of the beliefs. He previously ran as a Republican for U.S. Senate in 2022. In a separate lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League last year, McClanahan claimed the organization defamed him by calling him a white supremacist in an online post. In his lawsuit against the ADL, McClanahan described himself as a “Pro-White man.” McClanahan wrote that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan; he said received an honorary one-year membership. And he said he attended a “private religious Christian Identity Cross lighting ceremony falsely described as a cross burning.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A high school senior was killed just weeks before graduation when a suspected drunk driver, speeding at over 120 mph, split his car into two during a crash in a Chicago suburb. Marko Niketic, 17, was driving with his 16-year-old girlfriend in Glenview, IL when a sports car struck their vehicle at an intersection just after 11 p.m. on May 12. The driver, Taeyoung Kim, 21, had been driving his 2021 Ford Mustang with a passenger from his home in Northbrook to downtown Chicago and back earlier in the day, according to court records obtained by NBC Chicago. “The investigation revealed at 2308 hours (11:08 p.m.) on May 12, Kim drove his vehicle westbound on East Lake Ave, at a high rate of speed in a reckless manner,” the Glenview Police Department said. Kim’s car crashed into Niketic as the teen was making a left turn through the intersection of East Lake Ave and Meadow Lane, approximately 20 miles northwest of Chicago. Kim had been racing past other cars going westbound on Lake Ave, with one driver noting Kim increasing speeds and turning his headlights off. “As Niketic began turning, Kim’s vehicle approached the intersection at an immense rate of speed, still with the headlights off,” the court documents allege. “Just as Kim was entering the intersection, the headlights turned back on as Kim’s vehicle crashed into Niketic’s vehicle.” The front of Kim’s car struck the driver’s side of Niketic’s vehicle, splitting it into two. The front half of Niketic’s sedan remained in the road, with the back half being sent flying through a nearby fence and landing in a backyard. Kim’s car, which had a dashcam recording his joyride, came to a halt near a tree on the side of the road. Witnesses inside the homes near the scene of the crash immediately called 911 before rushing to the scene and observed Niketic inside his vehicle, appearing to be deceased, Kim’s bond court proffer read. Other witnesses observed Kim sitting inside his car and admitted he had been drinking, while his passenger was lying on the ground bleeding heavily, WMAQ reported. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His girlfriend and Kim’s passenger were both rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Niketic’s girlfriend, who remains unidentified, suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, hematoma of the brain, a fracture of the pelvis vertebrae and hyper-density of the left frontal lobe of the brain with loss of consciousness and seizure. She was released from the hospital on Friday. Kim’s passenger sustained a fracture to his back and a severed artery in the crash. Kim suffered a broken femur, and a blood-drawn test concluded he had a blood alcohol level of .088, the test also revealed he had cannabis in his system. During their investigation, police found a bong, rolling papers, a one-hitter cannabis pipe with residue and two plastic containers with cannabis residue inside Kim’s vehicle. Kim was arrested on Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated DUI causing death, reckless homicide, aggravated DUI causing great bodily harm, DUI of alcohol, DUI of drugs, and several traffic violations including speeding 35 mph over the limit. He appeared in court on Saturday. Kim is being held without bond, and his next court date is scheduled for May 24, according to jail records viewed by The Post. Niketic’s funeral was held on Thursday, two days before his high school, Glenbrook South, held its prom. Niketic was set to graduate on June 2. “He’s one of those people, you meet him, and he’s glowing. The most genuine human ever,” friend Preston Shute told NBC Chicago. “He had a lot of stuff ahead of him. I can’t really process it.”)

https://www.gopusa.com/taxpayers-lose-billions-to-government-overlap-duplication/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Overlap and duplication cost taxpayers billions, according to a new report from a Congressional watchdog. The U.S. Government Accountability Office’s annual report identified opportunities to save billions of dollars by reducing overlap, duplication and fragmentation across the federal government. The report outlines 112 measures that Congress and federal agencies could take to save money and improve government services. “This year’s report provides Congress and federal agencies with new opportunities to save federal dollars, increase revenue, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a wide range of federal programs,” said Gene Dodaro, comptroller general and head of the GAO. “By addressing this year’s pointed list, as well as open recommendations to both agencies and Congress from GAO’s past work, the federal government could potentially save tens of billions of dollars.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Top reasons to attend the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention as a delegate in Collinsville May 24-25 include urging your representative on the Platform and Resolutions Committee to vote on May 24 a) for the resolution for direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members and b) to strengthen the IRP platform. Further, if those committee members who oppose direct election of IRP SCC members and/or who want to weaken the IRP platform win by a small margin and minority reports are filed like the one that was filed at the 2016 convention, you can vote for those minority reports on May 25. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The system used by the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to elect its State Central Committee (SCC) members has resulted in the IRP and its candidates failing/refusing to defend/advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, the IRP and its candidates paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Consequently, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates ever-increasingly lose elections in Illinois. Going back to direct election of IRP SCC members would allow candidates to run who could/would defend/advance the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I should write a book about the tremendous downside of helping elect political candidates. I would focus on those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who I have done the most to help elect and to reelect since 2000 but a) who have suffered defeats and/or have won by a smaller margins than they expected, b) who have blamed their defeats on me and on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most, c) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me, d) who oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members the most, and/or e) who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who had their nasty operatives and nasty dupes a) end my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) end my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, e) end my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) end my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) end my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) end my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) end my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) end my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

— Is the profession damaging its own pipeline? – Paige Hagy (COMMENT: What about age discrimination and reverse discrimination? I was a 30-year-old White male when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I subsequently a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. But the accounting profession, IRS, and GAO had no interest in me because they considered me to “too old” to have a successful career in accounting. Further, I was a White male and the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote minorities and females. Further, I was conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, I had lived in Crete 1948-1972, and I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. Back then, as it is now, the accounting profession continues to be under tremendous pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to give preference to young people who are minority and/or female. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group.)

While I lived there, my IRS salary increased from $97,079/year to $108,785/year in today’s dollars and I walked to/from graduate evening business classes at Loyola 1974-1976 and accounting classes at DePaul 1976-1978.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/highland-park-condos-woo-buyers-disaffected-chicago
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As affluent suburban empty nesters lose their once voracious appetite for downtown Chicago condos, a developer in Highland Park is betting they’ll go for the same type of property, but out in the suburbs. “We realize people have stopped moving into the city,” said Mark Muller, president of Fulton Developers. As Crain’s reported earlier this week, the upper-end condo market in downtown neighborhoods is in its fourth bleak year, and the loss of empty nesters is a key reason.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Why do governments exist in America? Under Democrat and RINO elected officials, they ever-increasingly exist a) to hire, retain, and promote Democrats and RINOs who are minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and b) to give more and more and more preference to voters who are the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What motivates you? What do you do and what motivates you to do that? I spend 15+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. The following motivates me to do that: a) the continuing failure/refusal of Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) leaders to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform, b) the continuing failure/refusal of Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to defend and advance the aforesaid planks, c) the continuing big adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders continue to take against me, and d) ever-increasing poverty and crime in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What were your greatest professional accomplishments in life? Mine were in chronological order: a) earning a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU when I was 21 in 1970, b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, g) earning job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and h) earning a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. My critics/opponents not only ignore/dismiss/belittle the aforesaid, they use them against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I never earned more than $150,075/year in today’s dollars and because I was forced into early retirement in 1997, I must be a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and/or even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. I should write a book about my biggest high-profile critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them for defamation. – Dave Diersen

I should write a book about those who are the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who are high-profile and who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who use the disgusting operatives and dupes to do their dirty work.- Dave Diersen

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2024/05/13/ford-mustang-gt-police-car-to-chase-speeders/73668575007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As other automakers stop building cars powered by big V8 engines, Ford Motor Co.’s Mustang GT remains the last man standing. Police agencies, who need the horsepower, have taken notice. After years of ordering the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, state patrol agencies in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina confirmed they’re adding the 2024 Mustang GT to their fleets. And they’re not the only law enforcement agencies doing so. Ford’s competitors aren’t making these muscle cars anymore.)

— QUESTION: Who do hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters punish the most? ANSWER: Conservative Republicans like me who share the most demographics with Trump and who communicate the most. Both Trump and I are White, male, old, non-poor, married, draft avoiders, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I put together and send out a newsletter every morning that is read my many thousands in Illinois. Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have taken many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. – Dave Diersen

IBENDAHL ON POLITICS
— Obliterating the last remaining lie of the direct election opponents (COMMENT: I should write a book about those past and present Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)
https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2024/05/14/obliterating-the-last-remaining-lie-of-the-direct-election-opponents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Defenders of a failed status-quo whined for years that we couldn’t allow Republican primary voters to have a vote again for the Illinois GOP’s governing board because we would get Democrats on our state central committee. Of course this was always just a manufactured lie. And the hacks who parroted that phony talking point could never explain how that would ever realistically happen. Further, the Illinois GOP had direct elections for the members of the state central committee prior to 1986 (the same voting right every Illinois Democrat STILL enjoys in their state party) and there is absolutely zero evidence Democrat infiltration was ever an issue for the Illinois GOP when Republican primary voters had a voice. In truth it’s our cockamamie current system, the one forced down our throats by a handful of old party bosses back in 1986 which actually HAS put Democrats on our state central committee. But it’s worse than that. Over a quarter of the 17 current members of the state central committee publicly endorsed career left-wing Democrat Richard Irvin for governor in 2022. National Committeeman Richard Porter did too.)

I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. I was the only White male who ever held that job in that store. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to commute to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC.)

The Democrats who run GAO hint/imply/argue/shout at their many Jewish employees that Republicans cause all the problems that Jews have and especially the problems that liberal/moderate Jews have. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, at least one of my superiors was an anti-conservative Jew and during my last 8 years they all were anti-conservative Jews. They all took many big adverse actions against me. From what I see, if they were still in charge today, they would side with Hamas against Israel.)

My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 when I was a GS-12 Step 4 (currently $106,785/year) IRS Collection Division Special Procedures Staff Advisor. They stressed their disallowance to all my IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates and to everyone else. They disallowed the graduate evening business and accounting courses that I had taken at Loyola and DePaul 1972-1978. Even though my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses and I had stated that in my Loyola and DePaul applications, they outrageously and unethically argued that the courses were not related to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— At Loyola, other four-year colleges, a chance to earn a two-year associate degree as a start. The aim is to give students who might not initially see themselves going to a four-year school a boost that might help them eventually get a bachelor’s degree, as few two-year students do now. – Matt Krupnick (COMMENT: One of my biggest decisions in life was to get a four-year college degree in business even though no one saw me as being “college material.” 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 could not run because a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, I demonstrated no leadership potential, and I had to work my way through college. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Stop asking amateurs to oversee public transit – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. Instead of me, GAO assigned amateurs to audit IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. My coworkers who they assigned to audits of IRS instead of me knew little or nothing about IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, 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 passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then certainly did not want Republicans like me to work on audits of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.)

Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric. – Karen Yourish, Danielle Ivory, Jennifer Valentino-DeVries and Alex Lemonides (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997) had in turning my many Jewish superiors and supervisors against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, draft-avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed a) that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, b) that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, c) that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and d) that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. Adverse actions that my many Jewish superiors and supervisors took against me include a) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969, b) forcing me to resign in 1969, c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, d) never promoting me beyond GS-13, e) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, f) forcing me to suffer a $22.996/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, g) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, h) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, i) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and j) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

DOUG’S NEWSLETTER
— It’s Doers vs. Do-Nothings on the question of restoring direct elections for the Illinois GOP
https://dougelstonibendahl.substack.com/p/its-doers-vs-do-nothings-on-the-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The SUPPORT camp is standing up for Republican voters and historic change. They are demanding that our vote be restored – a vote which never should have been stolen from Republican voters in the first place. And then there is the OPPOSE list. Empowering Republican voters is about the last thing the persons on that list have in mind. The idea of their Republican constituents getting energized and taking an active interest in how the sausage is really being made in our state party apparently terrifies them. No doubt for good reason. That is why the Illinois GOP’s state central committee has been holding their meetings basically in secret ever since a couple hundred angry peasants showed up to the state central committee meeting that was held shortly after the Illinois GOP’s disastrous election of November 2022 and rightly demanded resignations of top state party officials. To say our state party is grossly out of touch with the Republican voters it has a duty to serve would be a colossal understatement. When deadwood bosses aren’t disrespecting Republican voters and meeting in secret, they are actively and openly INVITING Democrats into our party (just check out the OPPOSE list). Republican primary voters need a broom to sweep out the deadwood. That broom is our vote. We need a vote again for the top officials of the Illinois Republican Party, the state central committee. . .The good news is we can give all Republican primary voters back their vote at the upcoming state convention on May 24 & 25 in downstate Collinsville. We can make the GOP relevant again in Illinois. That would be an historic event – but far from a radical one. We would simply be giving Republicans back their vote which never should have been stolen from them in the first place. If you haven’t already signed-on, we invite you to join the growing list of good people who are standing up for their fellow Republicans and their right to vote. Alternatively, if you think the only problem with the Illinois Republican Party is that Republicans are voting too much, we’re happy to add your name on the other list.)

— What’s Behind America’s Doctor Crisis? – Autumn Spredemann (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, emergency rooms are filled with illegals. Ever-increasingly, everyone in healthcare will be more and more and more of the following: minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, citizens of foreign countries, etc.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/whats-behind-americas-doctor-crisis-5640380
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Securing an appointment to see a doctor in the United States is exacerbated by soaring health care demand and fewer doctors. Many specializations are increasingly affected by this trend, but primary care and emergency medicine are among the hardest hit. The average wait time to see a doctor has increased since 2017 and continued to rise after the demand spike brought on by COVID-19. A survey conducted by AMN Healthcare in 2022 of 15 large metro markets revealed the average time to see a physician was 26 days—an 8 percent increase from 2017 and a 24 percent spike since 2004.
Staff constraints are also felt in hospital emergency departments. Nearly 140 million Americans visited a hospital emergency department in 2021, based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, about 13 percent resulted in hospital admission; while thousands waited hours to see a health care provider. Consequently, many patients leave before being seen by a doctor.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— MAY 21, 2016 FLASHBACK: Illinois Republican Party takes stance on marriage – Chris Kaergard (COMMENT: Needless-to-say, I will sue anyone who has hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I provided Kaergard with any information let alone “inside” information for this article.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/state/2016/05/21/illinois-republican-party-takes-stance/29174372007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PEORIA — Illinois Republicans will remain the party of “marriage between one man and one woman.” Meeting in Peoria, delegates to the state GOP convention voted overwhelmingly to retain a plank in their platform of guiding principles calling for that stance instead of a proposed change that touted the benefits of the traditional, nuclear family and First Amendment religious freedoms while declaring that diverse opinions were welcomed and “that non-traditional families are worthy of the same respect and legal protections as traditional families.” Though that proposed language change cleared the party’s platform committee 11-7 after a lengthy meeting Friday, opponents successfully sought a floor debate and vote on an issue by the full contingent of delegates at what was billed as the highest-attendance GOP convention in state history with 968 credentialed attendees. Supporters of the traditional-marriage status quo position argued their position represented a consensus of the party at its last convention in 2012, but also insisted that enshrining that position was critical to the party’s success at the ballot box. “Our platform distinguishes ourselves from the Democrats,” state Rep. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, said in arguing that downstate members of the GOP needed such language to compete against the conservative Democrats they often face in elections. “We have to hold those seats and we have to pick up seats.” State Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, also told the audience that there was little support among rank-and-file Republicans for adjusting the language in the platform. “There’s no groundswell out there amongst Republicans to change the definition of marriage,” he said. “It’s a core Republican principle across the country.” Party chairman Tim Schneider had to twice call for calm and a respectful exchange of ideas as proponents of newer language were interrupted by jeers, boos and shouts of, “Go home!” however. But Ryan Higgins, the state’s central committeeman from the suburban 8th Congressional District, said that rejecting the proposed newer language also gutted the most requested addition to the platform, which would have emphasized the need for protections for religious liberty, and said that the recommended alterations were being misinterpreted. Elisha French of Galesburg agreed, noting that the issues in the debate over marriage have changed since 2012. He told the convention that, “The (battle) line has been moved while we have been talking.” Demetra DeMonte, the longtime Tazewell County GOP volunteer who was re-elected as one of two Illinois representatives to the Republican National Committee, applauded the final result. “I was very happy to vote for the amendment,” she said. “I thought it was necessary, and I’m pleased that it won overwhelming and is now part of our party platform.” The process the proposals for a marriage plank went through satisfied Mike Bigger, the Stark County resident who chaired the platform committee and serves as the state party’s secretary. “I thought (with) an issue that was that divisive, it was critical that it come to the floor and let the delegates actually vote,” he said. “I’ve never at a convention before seen that happen. The majority spoke and it was clear and resounding. We passed the right platform — the platform the party wanted — and I’m totally happy with it.” Schneider and a host of others throughout the afternoon in the Peoria Civic Center ballroom urged the crowd to unify behind GOP candidates in the fall — regardless of any intra-party disagreements — for the betterment of the party. “United, the possible is possible. Divided, the possible is impossible,” Schneider said. Other speakers during the convention’s general assembly portion for all delegates included Gov. Bruce Rauner, state Comptroller Leslie Munger and U.S. Reps. Darin LaHood, R-Peoria, and Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, though all stuck to familiar themes they’ve invoked at other public appearances, often word for word. Many early speakers avoided referencing GOP presidential nominee-in-waiting Donald Trump by name, until DeMonte predicted his victory in the fall and drew cheers, chants and waving signs from some members of the crowd.)

— IRS commissioner warns of worse customer service, lower tax collection if budget is cut – AUSTIN DENEAN (COMMENT: When I was 25 years old in 1974, because of my performance on a major IRS customer service developmental assignment, an IRS manager promoted me to GS-12, currently $97,079/year. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him to get rid of me. He had promoted me in 1973 and 1972. To justify their not promoting me to GS-13, they ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. Consequently, I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. They must have played a big role in GAO’s forcing me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. GAO audits IRS. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS and especially Republicans like me who are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They especially do not want Republicans to audit IRS who complained like I did about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988 and they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

I bought that car in May of 1966 with money that I earned and saved washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights for the previous 18 months.)
