CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats run Illinois. Democrats acknowledge that “Illinois ranks last at keeping rich people from moving out.” The more money that you earn/have, the harder that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to manipulate/dominate you. My federal pension is only $65,165/year and my Social Security is only $2,935/year, but still, no one can manipulate/dominate me. That said, the less money that you earn/have, the easier that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to harm you. They removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/illinois-ranks-last-keeping-rich-people-moving-out
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A chart in the report shows Illinois with the worst record of retaining people who make $200,000 or more per year and, probably just as unsurprising, Florida with the best. For every $200,000-plus earner who leaves Florida, two and three-quarters move in. The lost income in Illinois from all out-migration, not just high earners, was about $9.85 billion in recent years, according to earlier IRS data. Based on individual tax returns filed in 2021 and 2022, the IRS reports about $19.38 billion in adjusted gross income left the state and about $9.58 billion moved in, for a net loss of $9.85 billion.)
— Democrats say “The one-hour delay that preceded Donald Trump’s July 31 appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists was not because of audio problems, as Trump later claimed, but because the former president objected to the group’s plan to fact-check his remarks in real time.” During the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, I often worked as a fact checker, and especially during my last 11 years as a GS-13 Step 1-10 Analyst, currently $115,439-$150,075/year.

https://southernillinoisnow.com/2024/08/01/jd-vance-is-having-a-rocky-rollout-how-much-does-it-matter-to-voters/
— Democrats say “Trump doubles down on false racial attacks on Harris, Republican senators squirm when confronted about it.” When Trump was asked about Harris and DEI, what if Trump had responded that Biden would not have picked Harris for Vice President if Harris had been White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or if her ancestors had been in America for a long time? But Democrats would have responded that Trump would not have picked Vance if Vance was older, Protestant, or had a wife who was White.

WGME
— Democrats say “An Illinois congresswoman on Tuesday introduced a bill she says would “constitutionally” define gender as “male and female.” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., proposed the Defining Male and Female Act two days before the Biden administration’s new Title IX regulations took effect. The regulations broaden the law to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity.”

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/08/02/full-court-press-for-pritzker-as-vp-00172434
(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: JIM EDGAR’s VOTE: Former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar said he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris for president come November. “I just worry about [Donald Trump] getting to be president again. I think there are a lot of negative ramifications,” he told Playbook. “You have to put the country ahead of partisan politics, and to me there’s no choice but to vote for somebody other than Trump.” Edgar’s decision isn’t a complete surprise. He voted for Biden in 2020, and he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, either.)

I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Trump Is Right about Illegal Immigration and Black Jobs – PETER KIRSANOW (COMMENT: Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates were Black. Many, most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents have never worked for Blacks, never worked with Blacks, or supervised Blacks.

My Democrat superiors did everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. All the Democrats who they 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.

That is, their top priority was getting rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. They used Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, and budget cuts to accomplish the aforesaid, that is, they used patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination to accomplish the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.

— 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.

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.

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they never promoted me beyond GS-12. They ignored, dismissed, belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. They made things so bad for me that I reluctantly took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980.)

(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.)

(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.)

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

Before that, the was a longtime donor to the Democratic party, and a prominent philanthropic donor. With his substantial wealth, progressive stances, and growing national profile since taking office, Pritzker could prove to be an appealing choice for Democrats as Biden’s replacement on the ticket. Pritzker was a major supporter of both of Hillary Clinton’s campaigns for president in 2008 and 2016. He and his wife, MK Pritzker, contributed more than $15 million to the pro-Clinton Priorities USA Action PAC during the 2016 campaign, according to federal campaign finance records.)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/kamala-harris-running-mates-democratic-presidential-ticket-rcna162848
(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. Pritzker endorsed Harris on Monday.)

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.

— Democrats ask “Too old to work?” and say “Some Americans on the job late in life bristle at calls for Biden to step aside.” What is Trump’s position on age discrimination? When I was 25 years old in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used up-or-out to write me off as being too old to be promoted to GS-!3. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.

— Democrats say “The White-Collar Hiring Rut Is Here. That’s Bad News for Young College Grads.” When you graduated for college, what frustrated your job search? For me, it was a) my being viewed as being draft bait, b) tremendous pressure on employers to hire minorities and females, c) my GPA not being that great, d) my not having demonstrated leadership potential, and e) my having been a postal employee for almost 3 years and then forced to resign.

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.

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.

They have used pretexts to take many big adverse actions against me because I am conservative, that is, because I am a platform Republican.

Mark Kirk and others. . .Notable names are already popping up as possible GOP governor candidates in 2026: Outgoing Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter, Congressman Darin LaHood, former state Sen. Darren Bailey, who lost to JB Pritzker in 2022, and Aaron Del Mar, who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor that year. . .Donald Trump’s campaign says it won’t commit to a VP debate because “we don’t know who the Democrat nominee for vice president is going to be.” The campaign namedrops Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and Gretchen Whitmer. Pritzker’s camp called the Trump debate statement “a weird way to say ‘I’m scared of Kamala Harris.’” . . . Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller has called on the director of the Secret Service to resign after a briefing addressing the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. “I am gravely concerned that so many important questions remain unanswered, especially as reports suggest law enforcement and Secret Service were aware that this man posed a threat at multiple points during the day,” Miller said in a statement.)

Democrats ever-increasingly use the MNM to defeat Trump and to elect Biden. When the MSN criticizes Democrats, it is to help them win. When the MNM criticizes Republicans, it is to make them lose. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have pandered the most to the MNM in Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with the MNM in Illinois. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus the aforesaid a) who removed me from the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee and b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Right out of the gate, the Tribune’s Jeremy Gorner asked why Miller is “reluctant” to talk to the media. Her answer: “I’m happy to talk to people. But we would like fair coverage from the media. The media has demonized President Trump. Name-calling. That’s what my little kids did. Name calling,” Miller said. From the Tribune: “Miller didn’t address the fact that Trump has made name calling a hallmark of his political career, from his successful 2016 run for the White House, through his term as president, and in his presidential bids in 2020 and this year,” report Jeremy and Rick Pearson. Trump’s name calling: He has referred to President Joe Biden as “Crooked Joe,” his 2016 Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton as “Lyin’ Hillary,” and Haley as “Birdbrain” and DeSantis as “Ron DeSanctimonious” and “Meatball Ron.” The media bashing continued at Fiserv Forum in the evening. Kari Lake, the U.S. Senate candidate — and former TV news anchor — started her speech welcoming the crowd. “We love you all. Actually, actually, wait a minute. I don’t mean that. I don’t welcome everybody in this room. The guys up in the fake news,” she said, referring to the media rows. “Frankly, you guys up there in the fake news have worn out your welcome.” Others took swipes, too, including Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was a Trump press secretary in the White House. The take-away: Republicans feel emboldened as Trump heads into the campaign season with Republicans feeling united and polling in his favor. . .Sparks flew, when Congressman Matt Gaetz poked at former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the floor of the convention, and Illinois Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter told him to “shut up,” via X. Nikki Haley tried to bring unity to the RNC. Some people booed. . .If you’re in Milwaukee, come by for the talks, and if you’re not, check it out online. Today’s guests: Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Dr. Ben Carson.)

— Democrats Try to Smear J.D. Vance as Antisemitic, Anti-Israel – JOEL B. POLLAK (COMMENT: Because I am Protestant and 100% German American, my critics/opponents have always smeared me as being antisemitic. I my defense, I have always stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, many, if not most, if not virtually all of my non-Jewish male GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were antisemitic and anti-female. Because of that, in 1989, when my Democrat GAO superiors permanently banned from their group that audited IRS, I was able to get assigned to my second choice, the group that audited federal financial institution regulators, because that group was led by a Jewish woman who my coworkers did not want to work because she was a Jewish woman.)

BHARAT EXPRESS NEWS
— Who is Usha Vance, the immigrant daughter married to Trump’s vice presidential pick, JD Vance?
https://thebharatexpressnews.com/who-is-usha-vance-the-immigrant-daughter-married-to-trumps-vice-presidential-pick-jd-vance/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many Republicans see Usha Vance, the Indian-American wife of vice presidential candidate JD Vance, as a symbol of generational change and growing diversity within the party. Usha, 38, is a corporate lawyer who was previously a registered Democrat, the daughter of Indian immigrants and a practicing Hindu. Danny Willis, 25, chairman of Delaware Young Republicans, said: “With this ticket, with the show of diversity in what would be the second gentleman and second lady of the United States, I am extremely proud to be a Hispanic man and a Republican.” Usha has a very different story to tell than the last Republican second lady, Karen Pence, a white grandmother and devout Christian from Indiana who was an elementary school teacher and watercolorist. She is the daughter of Krish and Lakshmi Chilukuri, who are originally from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and later settled in California. Krish is an engineer and a university professor; Lakshmi is a biologist and college provost. They are part of a tight-knit community of Indian-American academics in the suburbs of San Diego. Usha said in a recent interview with Fox News: “I grew up in a religious family, my parents are Hindu, and I think that was one of the things that made them such good parents, that made them really, really good people.” Even as a child, Usha seemed a stranger to self-doubt. In a 2022 New York Times profile, Vikram Rao, a family friend who works in Silicon Valley, was quoted as saying, “By age 5 or 6, she had taken on a leadership role. She decided what board games we would play and what the rules would be. She was never mean or unkind, but she was the boss.” The same Times article noted that between 2007 and 2010, Usha “posted 65 ‘read’ books to her Goodreads account, including novels by Zadie Smith, Jonathan Safran Foer and Vladimir Nabokov, and nonfiction by Nina Burleigh and Nicholas Kristof. Her account was inactive for six years afterward.” Usha met J.D. Vance at Yale Law School, where they co-organized a discussion group on “social decline in white America”—a theme he would later return to in his bestselling book Hillbilly Elegy. The book chronicles his upbringing in a poor family in Appalachia and the beginnings of his relationship with Usha, played in a 2020 Netflix film adaptation by Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto. The couple didn’t seem like an obvious match, but in Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. praises Usha as a “Yale spirit guide” who helped him navigate campus life. “She instinctively understood the questions I didn’t even know to ask, and she always encouraged me to seek opportunities I didn’t know existed,” he wrote. Usha once told NBC News, “We were friends and I liked that he was so diligent. He would show up at 9 a.m. meetings that I scheduled for us to work on the brief together.” Among the two fellow Yale Law students was businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who unsuccessfully ran for Republican president this year. Usha was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and editor-in-chief of the Yale Journal of Law & Technology. She also took courses in which she provided free legal advice on issues surrounding the Supreme Court and media freedom. She also holds a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Cambridge. Her thesis focused on “the methods used to protect printing rights in seventeenth-century England,” according to her biography on the university’s website. JD and Usha married in 2014 in an interfaith ceremony in Kentucky. That same year, she served as a clerk on the influential DC circuit court for Brett Kavanaugh, whom Donald Trump would nominate and confirm to the US Supreme Court in 2018. Usha also served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts during the 2017-2018 term, during which time Roberts wrote a 5-4 ruling upholding Trump’s travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. At the 200-lawyer law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson, Vance, a partner, focused on civil litigation and appeals. The firm, which calls itself “radically progressive,” has counted Berkshire Hathaway, Bank of America and PG&E among its clients. Usha’s own clients have included a division of the Walt Disney Company and the Regents of the University of California. Public records show that Usha was a registered Democrat and voted in that party’s primary in 2014. However, she also voted in the 2022 Republican primary, when her husband was running for the Ohio Senate. Last month, the couple were interviewed by Fox News at their home in Cincinnati, Ohio, about the possibility of JD becoming Donald Trump’s running mate. Usha said: “I don’t know if anyone is ever ready for that kind of scrutiny. I think the first campaign he started, we were shocked. It was so different from anything we had ever done before. But it was an adventure. “And so I guess the way I say it is, I’m not eager to change anything about our lives right now. But I really, you know, believe in JD, and I really love him. And so we’ll just see what happens with our lives.” On Monday, as JD entered the Republican National Convention Hall and members of the Ohio delegation chanted his name, Usha was by his side. She has proven to be an anchor in such moments. “Usha definitely brings me back down to earth a little bit, and when I get maybe a little too cocky or a little too proud, I remind myself that she’s accomplished way more than I have,” JD told the Megyn Kelly Show podcast in 2020. “I’m one of those guys who really benefits from having kind of a powerful female voice on his left shoulder saying, ‘Don’t do that, do that’ — it’s just important.” Usha said in a statement late Monday that she was resigning from the firm to support her family — they have two sons, Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4, and a daughter, Mirabel, 2. A spokesman for Munger said Usha was an “excellent lawyer and colleague.” Republicans at the convention praised the Vances, but some were reluctant to speak out about what they see as identity politics. Virginia Zemel, 66, of Downers Grove, Illinois, said, “You don’t look at the color of the person’s skin and ethnicity. It’s the character of the person and what they stand for.” “America began as a melting pot and we are including everyone. The leadership of President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and his wonderful family, and now JD Vance as Vice President and his wife and family will be a message to bring back the strength of our country.” However, some political analysts believe Usha’s arrival less than four months before Election Day could be an asset to the otherwise all-white Republican candidacy. John Zogby, a pollster and author, said: “The second lady candidates are barely in the mix. But Indian-Americans are becoming increasingly influential in the United States. They are strongly Democratic – or at least they have been – in their voting record, so if there is an opportunity to tweak that and get even a small percentage, that could be vital, especially in those swing states that everyone is talking about.” He added: “It looks good, she’s a smart lady and anything that can convince a few voters can have a huge impact in an election like this.”)

PEW RESEARCH
— Democrats ever-increasingly run the mainstream news media (MNM). Democrats ever-increasingly use the MNM to defeat Trump and to elect Biden. When the MSN criticizes Democrats, it is to help them win. When the MNM criticizes Republicans, it is to make them lose. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have pandered the most to the MNM in Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with the MNM in Illinois. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid a) who removed me from the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolutions Committee and b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.

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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a 2022 interview with the trade publication Security Magazine, Cheatle reflected on being a woman in the Secret Service. “That achievement in a male-dominated industry was not lost on me,” Cheatle said. “I kept a photo on my desk of the first five women sworn into the service, and I used that to remind me that these women created opportunities for me and I can help others grow and lead as well.” Cheatle graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, according to the News-Gazette, and she first applied for a job as a Secret Service agent before leaving school.)

https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/ap-signs-of-trouble-at-trump-rally-were-evident-in-minutes-before-gunman-opened-fire/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Signs of trouble were evident in the minutes before shots rang out at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania: Police had a report of a suspicious man pacing near the magnetometers and were apparently exchanging photos of the suspect. Witnesses pointed and shouted at an armed man on a nearby roof. When a police officer climbed up to the roof to investigate, the gunman turned and pointed his rifle at him. But the officer did not — or could not — fire a single shot. A sniper cut down 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks within seconds of him firing an AR-style rifle toward the former president, but it was too late. Now investigators are trying to painstakingly piece together how an armed man with no military background managed to reach high ground and get the jump on teams of Secret Service agents. Stan Kephart, a former police chief who worked event security for two former presidents, said the shooting followed an “an absolute and abysmal failure” on the part of the Secret Service to protect Trump. The agency is ultimately responsible for the candidate’s safety, he added. “You don’t get to blame other people. They are under your control,” said Kephart, now a consulting expert on law enforcement event security.)

But my Democrat GAO superiors ignored, dismissed, and belittled the aforesaid. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS until 1986.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: You can say he has one connection to Illinois. He’s been blamed for holding up the confirmation of April Perry as Chicago’s top federal prosecutor. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth recently accused Vance of wanting to “grind the Department of Justice to a halt” over the confirmation. About his VP slot: Neither senator commented on Vance being named Donald Trump’s running mate. Durbin will join Gov. JB Pritzker at an unrelated event today, so we’ll wait for the Illinois press corps to pounce. . .Former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger headlined “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and called out Vance for criticizing U.S. support of Ukraine in the war against Russia. “They are celebrating that choice in Milwaukee and in Moscow,” he said.)

He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.” “I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option,” another well-placed source told The Post. Bernal, 51, is widely regarded as rivaling even White House chief of staff Jeff Zients in terms of influence over administration decisions. He has faced allegations of bullying and sexual harassment from colleagues who have likened his sway to that of Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin over the Romanov court. “Anthony is obsessed with being DEI-compliant,” a third source told The Post, using the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion — the human resources practice of attempting to ensure diversity in the workforce.)

EPOCH TIMES
— 39 Things to Know About JD Vance, Trump’s Running Mate. The freshman senator and best-selling author from Ohio is the first millennial on a major party ticket. Here’s a rundown of his background and stances. – Joseph Lord, Jackson Richman
https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/39-things-to-know-about-jd-vance-trumps-running-mate-5687131
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2. He’s a Catholic. Mr. Vance was raised Protestant, but later converted to Catholicism, officially becoming Catholic in August 2019.
3. He’s Married to Usha Chilukuri Vance. Mr. Vance is married to Usha Chilukuri Vance, who he met at Yale Law School. They married in 2014.
Ms. Vance currently works as a corporate litigator. She has clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John. Roberts and then-appellate Judge Brett Kavanaugh. She would be the first Hindu spouse of a vice president. . .9. He Experienced the Decline of the Rust Belt. In both his memoir and the movie adaptation, Mr. Vance explains his experience of the decline of the Rust Belt, and the impacts it had on those living there. Speaking about his native Middletown, Mr. Vance wrote in Hillbilly Elegy, “There is a lack of agency here— a feeling that you have little control over your life and a willingness to blame everyone but yourself. ”He’s made clear that this experience has continued to shape his political life and decisions. . .11. His Parents Divorced When He was a Toddler. Mr. Vance’s parents, Donald Bowman and Bev Vance, divorced when he was very young, leaving Mr. Vance to be raised by his mother. In “Hillbilly Elegy,” Mr. Bowman is described as having been largely absent from Mr. Vance’s life, though the two reconnected later in life. Mr. Vance says both of his parents struggled to maintain stability in their employment, both largely worked a series of odd jobs over the years. . .15. His Grandparents Were Democrats. Like many in the Rust Belt of the late 20th century, Mr. Vance’s grandparents were pro-union Democrats. Mr. Vance describes their attitude toward politics in “Hillbilly Elegy,” writing, “All politicians might be crooks, but if there were any exceptions, they were undoubtedly members of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal coalition. Mr. Vance said the exception was 1984, when his grandfather voted for President Ronald Reagan. . .16. He’s a Marine Corps. Iraq Combat vet. Mr. Vance served in Iraq as a Marine combat correspondent during the mid-2000s. . .19. He Was an Editor of the Yale Law Journal
While studying law, Mr. Vance served on the editorial staff of the Yale Law Journal. . .22. He’s Sponsored Programs to Combat Drug Addiction. In 2016, Mr. Vance left California and returned to Ohio, where he helped launch an effort to combat opioid abuse in the state. Called “Our Ohio Renewal,” the project was short-lived, and the online domain for the website is no longer accessible. . .36. He’s Critical of the Iraq War. Though he served in the Iraq War, Mr. Vance has since been critical of the conflict, saying he made a “mistake” in initially supporting it. “I served my country honorably, and I saw when I went to Iraq that I had been lied to, that the promises of the foreign policy establishment of this country were a complete joke,” he said on the Senate floor in April. . .37. Critical of Ukraine Aid. Mr. Vance has been critical of continued U.S. support for the war in Ukraine. Since taking office, he’s voted against every Ukraine aid package that’s come to the floor. He’s called for Europe to bear the brunt of financing the war. Mr. Vance wrote in an April op-ed for The New York Times that the current trajectory of the war is unsustainable for either the U.S. or Ukraine. He said that the notion that Ukraine will reclaim all its land lost to Russia is “fantastical.”. . . 39. He Says US Focus Should Be on China. Mr. Vance has also taken a tough stance on China, encouraging the United States to focus its efforts there. Between war in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, Mr. Vance said, America has “to pick and choose” where it invests its resources. “We should be focused on our own problems, and that’s mostly China,” Mr. Vance said in April. “My argument is the Chinese are focused on real power. They’re not focused on how tough people talk on TV or how strong our alleged resolve is. They’re focused on how strong we actually are, and to be strong enough to push back against the Chinese, we’ve got to focus there, and right now, we’re stretched too thin.”)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “J.D. Vance’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ a plea to the White working class.” (COMMENT: How much money did your parents have? While my parents had more money than Vance’s parents had, I had to work my way through college. I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail. My critics/opponents have/had wealthy parents.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/07/15/hillbilly-elegy-jd-vance-review/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vance grew up in what his memoir describes as “an Ohio steel town that has been hemorrhaging jobs and hope for as long as I can remember.” His mother struggled with addiction; he was raised by his grandparents, neither of whom graduated from high school. . .Though he has overcome his demons, Vance is sympathetic to those left behind. As he describes their plight, “From low social mobility to poverty to divorce and drug addiction, my home is a hub of misery.” And in contrast to other groups that also experience widespread poverty, “working class whites are the most pessimistic group in America.”)
— Democrats say “J.D. Vance adds veteran appeal to Trump’s populist campaign. As a former Marine Corps grunt, the VP pick speaks to the military and lower working class.” (COMMENT: Because my parents lacked money, during my freshman and sophomore years in high school, my plan was to enlist and use the G.I. Bill to get a college degree. But early in my junior year in 1964, I realized that I could earn a college degree much sooner a) if I got accepted by UIC, b) if I commuted to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete, and c) if could earn enough money with part-time jobs. The part-time job that I got working for the Park Forest Post Office enabled me to do that, and not only that, but to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, to transfer to NIU in 1969, and to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/07/15/vance-trump-veterans-appeal/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I interviewed Vance back in August 2016, when “Hillbilly Elegy” was published. “I think in a lot of ways, and for a lot of kids, frankly, the military is that ticket out,” he told me. “It shows you a different world. It gives you a set of skills that I simply didn’t have when I joined the Marines. … From there, I went to Ohio State, and then I went to Yale Law School,” he continued. “But it really provided a number of opportunities that again, I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t had the Marine Corps.” The skills he acquired as a Marine took him to Big Law, then Big Tech, and on to Big Politics and the Ohio Senate contest of 2022.
