— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What do Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have to do to turn Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton red? They have to defend and advance conservative principles, that is, they have to defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its 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. They have to show how following conservative principles helped them succeed. They have to stop being Democrat Lite. They have to stop being anti-conservative. – Dave Diersen

— How have following conservative principles helped you succeed? My following conservative principles helped me a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) earn a professional license when I was 32. My following conservative principles helped me buy news cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, get married when I was 29, etc. – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrat leaders crow about their success in defeating Republican township candidates. I should compare and contrast the eight Democrat Milton Township candidates who won with their eight Republican opponents who lost. For the April 1 election, what if Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders had promoted Trump’s policies as strongly as Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders demonized, denigrated, and condemned Trump’s policies?
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250412/news/suburban-blue-wave-hits-township-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban Democratic leaders say anger over the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration helped spur voters to action. “The best way to go against Trump and Musk is to put Democrats in office,” said Mark Guethle, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kane County. He said the township wins will help Democrats build a bench of candidates for future races for higher office. “Eventually, those people move up,” Guethle said. . .DuPage GOP leader Kevin Coyne said Republican candidates “ran good campaigns” but faced a “perfect storm of issues,” including an infusion of cash from the Democratic Party of Illinois to help bolster their candidates, the Trump factor, a demographic shift in the state as Republicans leave Illinois and being outpaced by Democrats in vote-by-mail ballots. . .McCollum, however, pointed to Election Day tallies and noted the majority of Democrats in contested races fared better when just looking at in-person Election Day vote tallies. He argued the bigger issue in the local races was Trump. . .Newly elected township officials plan to use these wins to focus on issues such as mental health care or other social assistance programs — services Democratic leaders fear may suffer under Trump’s administration.)

After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, a low level Democrat GAO Personnel Office employee hinted that he might be able to get me reinstated. But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

LATIN TIMES
— More Elected Democrats Are Becoming Republicans As The GOP Strengthens Grip On Texas. As the Democrat Party tightens its grip on Illinois, on DuPage County, on Milton Township, and on Wheaton, anticipate/expect that more elected Republicans will officially become Democrats. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, all my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican will officially become Democrats. They all have always been anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican. They all have always been RINOs if not Democrat plants. I should write about them. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

All eight Republican township candidates on my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 ballot lost because the Democrats in the township, including my precinct, voted for the Democrat candidates to punish Trump. How successful were your Republican township candidates? Ever since my wife and I moved to Milton Township in 1978, all of the Milton Township elected officials have been Republican. Since 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I have done much to help elect and reelect Republican Milton Township candidates, including hand-delivering their campaign literature to the residences in my precinct (currently 400) that have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter.
