FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Tom Homan swings hard at Illinois Dems
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/12/10/homan-jabs-illinois-democrats-at-gop-event-in-chicago-00193434
(FROM THE ARTICLE: MAKING A SPLASH: Tom Homan took the stage in Chicago on Monday to George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone.” The incoming “border czar” then crassly attacked Illinois Democratic leaders on immigration. And as he made his exit, Homan posed for selfies and took a slug from a bottle of beer. Stirring the pot: “Chicago is in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks,” Homan said on stage for a Chicago GOP event. He was referring to Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson — both of whom have spoken out against President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans. On immigration, Homan said he would “welcome” Illinois Democratic leaders to “come to the table. … Help us protect you,” he said. “Please. But if you don’t, get the hell out of the way.” The crowd ate it up: The holiday event was organized by Chicago’s Northside Republicans and the Law & Order PAC and held at Biagio Events space in the city. Pritzker gives an eye-roll: “It’s no secret that Illinois will face countless, baseless attacks over the next four years from the Trump Administration,” Matt Hill, the governor’s spokesman, said in a statement. “Rather than responding to every ridiculous boast from Trump lackeys, Gov. Pritzker is focused on what he was focused on during the first Trump term: leading our state with competence instead of chaos.” More from POLITICO’s home page:  ( https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/09/congress/border-czars-tough-talk-00193416 ) Homan says children born in the U.S. to non-citizens would be part of the deportation effort. Giving the brushoff: Though Homan took time earlier in the day to visit Chicago pastors, he didn’t make the first move to call the governor or mayor. “They need to reach out to me,” Homan told your Playbook host. The Illinois Democratic leaders need to “come to the table” the way New York Mayor Eric Adams did to talk about how to work with ICE, Homan said. Some background: Pritzker and Johnson have condemned plans for mass deportations. The Illinois Trust Act and the Chicago welcoming city ordinance prevent local law enforcement from taking part in immigration and customs enforcement, and state lawmakers are looking at other ways to make sure state law can’t be circumvented. On Illinois’ rules about working with ICE: “Change the law,” Homan told your Playbook host. The mayor’s hopes Trump takes advantage of the power he has to “actually pass substantive immigration reform policy,” Johnson said at an unrelated event earlier in the day. Chicago Alderman Nicholas Sposato, one of the very few Trump supporters on the 50-member City Council, said he liked what he heard from Homan and doesn’t believe Illinois or Chicago sanctuary city status should prevent ICE from coming to town. “It means law enforcement just has to stay out of the way,” Sposato said. Also in the room: Dr. Dave Nayak, a Democrat-turned-Republican who introduced Homan, Ald. Raymond Lopez, Commissioner Sean Morrison, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, pollster Matt Podgorski, former state’s attorney candidate Bob Fioretti, political consultant Shando Valdez and retired Chicago Police Sergeant and former political candidate John Garrido.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: Chicago to be ground zero for mass deportations, Trump border czar Tom Homan tells Illinois Republicans. President-elect Donald Trump’s designated “border czar.” Homan started his remarks at a Northwest Side GOP “holiday party” with some light ribbing: “Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks.” But he also warned Johnson about his deportation plan, saying, “If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way.”

As the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, I recruited speakers for TAPROOT’s monthly breakfast meetings and its annual picnic and Christmas party. My critics/opponents always demonized, denigrated, and condemned the speakers who I recruited as being “too conservative.” I should write about my critics/opponents who continue to have lots of 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 recently.)

— Can Trump’s DOGE-machine permanently remake govt? (COMMENT: If GAO had been remade and expanded during the 1980s and 1990s instead of being destroyed, there would be no need for DODGE. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They used Republican-led budget cuts to waste my career and force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They wasted what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, c) earning six job-related professional certifications, f) earning a job-related professional license, and g) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(COMMENT: In the wake of their recent purchase of $19 million worth of Gold Coast condos, Gov. JB Pritzker and first lady MK Pritzker can expect to receive property tax bills totaling almost $1.29 million in early 2025. This makes the Pritzkers the biggest residential property taxpayers in Cook County by far. The next-highest bill, according to Crain’s research, is the $635,620 total for Citadel chief Ken Griffin’s three yet-unsold downtown penthouses.)

— How much success have Democrat and RINO leaders had promoting Affirmative Action and DEI where you live, that is, how much success have they had promoting race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination where you live? They have had tremendous success where I live. According to them, the more of the following that you are, the more that you owe your successes in life to your benefitting from discrimination against those who are moderate/liberal, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Because I am none of the aforesaid, my critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are the aforesaid.

I took graduate evening courses a) in business at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) in accounting at DePaul 1976-1980 because my IRS employee handbook encouraged me to do that. Nevertheless, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those courses in 1978. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not related to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that I took them to get a job in the private sector, and that they qualified me for a new trade or business. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Whipping up Illinois Republicans  (COMMENT: I used to attend and report on such Republican political events. I should write about the following who have ever-increasingly blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA UILLINOIS newsletters for defeats suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000: 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 and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/12/09/whipping-up-illinois-republicans-00193243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Incoming Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno stopped in Illinois for a Republican holiday gathering and gave some insight about Donald Trump 2.0, immigration and his beef with the Inflation Reduction Act. “We’re going to resolve immigration in the first 40 to 60 days,” Moreno told the Republican-centric crowd over a lunch of chicken Milanese and whipped potatoes at Gibson’s in Oak Brook on Friday. Speaking to the choir: “This election was ultimately about two issues at the end of the day: open borders and high prices,” Moreno told the group. Immigration “is the easiest thing to fix intellectually. It’s the hardest thing to fix emotionally, and I hope to play a role in making that happen.” Moreno will be Ohio’s first Latino senator after ousting Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown last month in the most expensive Senate race ever at $441 million. The who’s who of Illinois Republicans were in a celebratory mood in spite of their tough spot as the state’s underdog party. The event was hosted by businessman Jay Bergman, Superior Ambulance Service CEO David B. Hill III and Kirkland & Ellis’ Sandy Perl and Richard Porter, who sported “Let’s Go Brandon” socks (a hat tip to the anti-Biden meme), and organized by Victoria Login and Sara Karlovics of LW&Co. The new name in the crowd was Dave Nayak, who earlier this year ran as a Democrat for state Senate and has since pivoted to be a Republican. “Switching parties was an easy decision,” he told your Playbook host. “I’m honored and proud to be part of the Republican Party.” What’s next for Nayak: He hasn’t decided about whether he’s running for office again, but he is co-hosting an event tonight featuring Tom Homan, who’s been picked by Trump as border czar. Republicans don’t hold any statewide office, and they didn’t make headway in state legislative races — though they didn’t lose ground, either. They hope having Republicans in control of Washington will have a trickle-down effect in Illinois in future elections. Moreno’s big win gives them hope. The Ohio Republican was well received, though he did make one comment that fell flat with the crowd. He criticized the Inflation Reduction Act because it gives $7,500 incentives to those who buy electric vehicles. “So Ken Griffin can lease an electric Rolls Royce that costs $600 grand and get $7,500 in tax subsidies. Do you think he needs it?” There was a nervous buzz in the room from the 250-plus crowd that still pines for Griffin, a billionaire who for years opened his wallet to Illinois Republicans before he moved to Florida. SPOTTED: Illinois Republican Chair Kathy Salvi, Former Ambassador Ron Gidwitz, former Congressman Bob Dold, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, former Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, former Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, former Illinois comptroller Leslie Munger, Illinois Chamber Senior Legislative Affairs Adviser Keith Wheeler, Lee County development leader Tom Demmer, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, Will County Board Member Raquel Mitchell, Metra Board Chair Joe McMahon, Palatine Committeeman Aaron del Mar and DuPage County Board candidate Greg Hart. Also in the room: former state lawmakers Jeanne Ives, Jack Schaffer, David Welter, Patricia Bellock, Bob Biggins and Tim Ozinga, former congressional candidates Esther Joy King and Jim Carris, businessman Eli Boufis, attorney Tom DeVore, philanthropist Eleni Bousis, former hospital exec Robert Christie, Strategia Chief Strategy Officer Brian Bernardoni and LW&Co.’s Lisa Wagner.)

My critics/opponents destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. Since 2000, they have used against me a) my supporting candidates in primaries who they reject and b) my promoting planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. Since the 1980s, they have used against me a) my opposition to things that Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois officials have wanted and b) my suing them. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of 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 lately. – Dave Diersen

https://townhall.com/columnists/marklewis/2024/12/07/why-are-politicians-so-weak-n2648737
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But, by and large, politicians are weak creatures because they are afraid of offending too many people.  And it is all because their first concern—every politician’s—is power.  They love it.  They worship it.  They lust for it.  They live for it. They’ll do anything they can to get it and hold onto it.  And if that means compromising justice, the law, and the well-being of the people, they’ll do it.  They are weak; they will sacrifice virtue and character for any disgusting cause, and they are rarely strong enough to stand up and defend what is truly noble, righteous, and virtuous.)

Needless-to-say, my Democrat GAO Chicago Office superiors were beyond furious and they took their anger against Republicans out on me, one of their very few remaining Republican employees. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

NBC NEWS
— Democrats and Republicans in Congress worried that Gabbard might leak information to Syria (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. To keep me off of audits of IRS, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors stressed the adverse actions that my Democrat IRS superiors had taken against me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they had 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, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid adverse actions, I could not be objective concerning IRS and that I would want to punish IRS. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the codes of professional conduct that I was under because of my six professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997) and my professional license (CPA-1981). I always agreed that I should not be assigned to audits that directly involved my IRS superiors who took the aforesaid adverse actions against me. My Democrat and GAO superiors succeed in keeping me off audits of IRS until 1986. But then they again succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988. They wasted what I had learned about IRS by working for it for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Americans’ Cars Keep Getting Older—and Creakier. Drivers are skimping to save a few bucks. That could mean bigger bills down the road and a rebound for parts and service companies.

They continue to run just fine.)
https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/americans-used-cars-age-repairs-c3fe7dca
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This should be the best of times for the people who help keep America’s cars running.  There have never been as many on the road—around 290 million light vehicles—and they have never been so old. One reason for that is good news: They are better made. Getting the odometer past 100,000 miles has gone from being noteworthy to normal. Thirty years ago the average passenger car was about 8.4 years old and today that is 13.6 years. Less good: Pinched by inflation, higher interest rates and supply-chain woes, Americans just haven’t been buying as many new vehicles lately. The four-year rolling average of annualized sales is about 15.5 million, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. On the eve of the Covid-19 pandemic it was 17.7 million.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Aaron del Mar is stepping down as co-chair of the Illinois Republican Party after the New Year. It’s not a surprise. After last month’s election, del Mar, who also is the Palatine Township Republican committeeman, told Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi in a letter that he’d be stepping back in 2025 in order “to explore other opportunities.” Might he make a run for governor in 2026? He wouldn’t tell us.

— What will your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain do to help elect Republican candidates on April 1, 2025?  In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, I will hand-deliver campaign literature and a marked copy of the sample ballot to its 400 residences that have at least one Republican or Independent voter.

— Leaders of the Milton Township Democrat Organization stress the qualifications of their township candidates. Since 2000, extremely few of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization have stressed my qualifications. In fact, many if not most, if not virtually all of them have ignored, dismissed, belittled, if not badmouthed my qualifications. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 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 passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. I have four other job-related professional certifications (fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting). I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Billy Long (R-Mo.) was announced as Trump’s pick to lead the Internal Revenue Service.

He has worked as a business and tax adviser since leaving office, assisting small businesses “navigate the complexities of complying with the IRS Rules and Regulations.” “Billy brings 32 years of experience running his own businesses in Real Estate and, as one of the premier Auctioneers in the Country,” Trump said of the incoming IRS commissioner. “Taxpayers and the wonderful employees of the IRS will love having Billy at the helm,” the president-elect added. “He is the consummate ‘people person,’ well respected on both sides of the aisle.”)

During that time, I bought a new 1972 Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate business courses at Loyola. Also 1976-1981 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, bought a one bedroom condo, got married and bought a home in Wheaton, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, and became a licensed CPA. Also, 1986-1988 when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). When were your bad old days? Mine include 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and 1978 when then they disallowed my education deductions and after 1974 when they refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They include 1980-1985 when they refused to assign me to audits of IRS, delayed my promotions, and refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1989-1997 when they kept me off audits of IRS, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.)

— When Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct lose elections, who blames who for that? Since 2000, my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses suffered my Republican candidates on ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township precinct in Wheaton. They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I paint the candidates in my newsletters as being far more conservative than they are and that causes them to lose elections and b) that I include links to articles in my newsletters that they do not like. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

— Law enforcement is one of America’s hottest jobs right now (COMMENT: IRS enforces federal tax laws. I was an IRS Revenue Officer 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.)
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/09/business/job-market-law-enforcement/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police departments and sheriff’s offices across are clamoring for new recruits after grappling with a sharp drop in applicants and a wave of retirements after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 caused many to be wary of working for a police force, recruiters told CNN. . .The average salary of a police officer climbed more than 37% in the first eight months of this year compared to the same time last year, according to ZipRecruiter data provided to CNN. That’s a recent sign of strong demand for police officers, because from 2022 to 2023 the average salary for policing jobs rose by roughly 8%. “Police departments are trying hard to make the role more attractive after suffering a recruitment and retention crisis,” said ZipRecruiter Chief Economist Julia Pollak. She added that there’s also been a huge spike in job postings on ZipRecruiter listing “law enforcement” as a desired skill. While a police officer may be a steady job, it’s important to note that it usually requires a months-long training process (typically paid), as well as an extensive background check.)

— Who are the millions of Britons not working, and why? (COMMENT: Because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early, I have not worked since I was 49 years old in 1997. I gave up searching for jobs appropriate for someone with my work experience, professional certifications, and professional license long ago because potential employers were turned off by the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors had taken against me. In addition to forcing me to retire early, they had a) delayed my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and c) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.  Further they were turned off by my bad demographics, my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and my having sued my GAO superiors for the aforesaid. Thankfully, my wife and I could afford the $84,910/year loss in income in today’s dollars that I suffered a) because of my wife’s income, b) because of my $65,165/year federal pension in today’s dollars, c) because the federal government pays 72% of our health insurance premiums, and  d) because we have no debts or dependents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The final, official 2024 election returns are in, and boy, are they consistent. When it comes to the last three presidential elections, 2024 doesn’t look much different than 2016 or 2020 in our area. Let’s start with Champaign County, where Donald Trump’s losing percentage — a historically bad one for three consecutive elections — has barely budged. He got 36.52 percent in 2024, 36.92 percent in 2020 and 36.42 percent in 2016. No candidate has done that poorly in the county in a presidential election with just two major candidates since Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956 (34 and 33 percent, respectively). Poor Jimmy Carter got just 32.2 percent in 1980, but that was also had Illinois congressman and University of Illinois graduate John Anderson running as an independent, and he got 15 percent of the vote here.)

— According to Democrat leaders, a) voters are fully aware of the Democrat Party platform, b) they support it, and c) that is why they vote for Democrat candidates. But how aware are they of the Democrat Party platform? The Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and nation origin discrimination. The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. My “Republican” critics/opponents are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. They fail/refuse to speak against the Democrat Party platform. They fail/refuse to promote the Republican Party platform. They focus on stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They focus on stopping everyone from reading my newsletters. They have had their operatives and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me since 2000. I should start writing about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

The aforesaid promotes poverty and crime. QUESTION: Why are voters leaving Illinois? ANSWER: 3 million in Illinois voted for Harris, that is, for the Democrat Party platform, 251,000 in DuPage County, and 478 in my precinct. Pritzker ever-increasingly makes it clear that he is going to use Illinois government get rid of those who voted for Trump once and for all.

— Never Change Careers Before Answering These 6 Questions First (COMMENT: Of course, I asked myself all these questions before I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. GAO audits IRS. However, my Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to make my transfer a failure. They forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my knowledge of IRS and that much of what I did at IRS was very similar to what I would do at GAO.

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Blacks should have gotten the jobs and promotions that I got. They were especially furious when IRS promoted me instead of Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me instead of a Black in 1986. They were overjoyed when GAO forced me to retire in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

In my defense, I earned a) a high school diploma in 1966, b) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, c) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they did to qualify themselves for better paying jobs. – Dave Diersen

— Have you taken bad jobs? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. 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. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Support Proves Again to be the ‘Kiss of Death’ Even During a Trump-Dominated, Historic Election Cycle
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/11/il-gop-support-proves-again-to-be-the-kiss-of-death-even-during-a-trump-dominated-historic-election-cycle.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It wasn’t that long ago when IL GOP leaders were endorsing Fl. Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential bid, hosting ‘Never Trumpers’ at fundraisers in Naples, Florida; naming anti-MAGA officials as gala co-chairs and blaming President Donald Trump for Illinois election losses in 2020 and 2022. When Trump secured the Republican nomination for president last Spring, those same officials were silent. But that’s not all. When this publication revealed that a party leader in 2016 compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler – IL GOP officials were once again silent. This pattern, however, should come as no surprise. In 2022, IL GOP officials backed Richard Irvin’s failed campaign for Illinois governor. During the primary campaign, it was reported by WTTW’s Paris Schutz that in 2018, Irvin sent text messages calling Trump an “idiot” and a “bigoted racist.” Irvin also texted the friend, “I hate Trump too!” Irvin would lose the primary to the Trump-endorsed candidate by 43 points. During Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair last year, then Illinois Republican national committeeman Richard Porter gave an interview to the Chicago Tribune and said that Trump couldn’t win independent voters in swing states in 2024 and that he was running for president to avoid going to jail. “I think the most ardent Trumpers recognize that they might love him in their heart, but they know in their head he is not going to win independents in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Arizona and Nevada. And that’s what you need to do to become president. And if you don’t become president of the United States, Trump goes to jail.” After this publication ran a story on his reported comments, Porter was in damage control, offering a long explanation to try and repair the damage – but it was too little, too late. And during the 2024 election, Trump would win every swing state proving Porter to be wrong once again. And former Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin – who is revered and respected by IL GOP leaders – likes to blame Trump for every Republican loss in Illinois. In November 2023, Durkin announced that he was not going to run for Cook County State’s Attorney and he blamed President Trump for his decision not to throw his hat in the race. “I know that if you’re going to run in a race, you have to run knowing that you have a good chance of winning, and I see no path winning with Trump at the top of the ticket [in 2024],” Durkin told CBS Chicago anchor Brad Edwards. In the Spring of 2022, IL GOP leaders traveled down to Naples, Florida to host a private reception featuring former US Attorney General Bill Baar, who served as AG under the George HW Bush and Donald Trump presidential administrations. Baar remains critical of Trump, and in November of 2022, he published a scathing opinion piece in the New York Post, writing, “Unless the rest of the party goes along with him, he will burn the whole house down by leading ‘his people’ out of the GOP. Trump’s willingness to destroy the party if he does not get his way is not based on principle, but on his own supreme narcissism. His egoism makes him unable to think of a political party as anything but an extension of himself – a cult of personality.” During this past election cycle where Trump dominated and made history winning both the popular and electoral votes by historic margins – and Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate and maintained control of the U.S. House – IL GOP leaders once again proved why their support is the ‘kiss of death.’ In District 10, Democrat U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider smoked Republican Jim Carris – who was the darling of the IL GOP, by 20 points – the largest margin of defeat of any congressional candidate. Illinois Republican leaders came out strong for Carris in ways not seen with other pro-MAGA candidates – as Carris had the support of the IL GOP establishment and leaders like IL GOP co-chair Kathy Salvi and national committeeman Dean White. Carris even appeared alongside Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a private event where the two shared the stage. Carris is pro-choice and refused to vocalize any support of Trump during his failed congressional campaign. “I’ve done a lot of research on this and studied and really given it a lot of thought and I am a pro-choice candidate,” Carris told a group in Winnetka, Illinois on June 6, 2024. During that same event, Carris refused to offer support for Trump when asked – who at the time was the presumptive Republican nominee for President, saying, “I am an independent person. I will decide when the time comes, but I’m concerned about my own campaign at this point…rather than be worried about the national election.” Carris was also endorsed by former U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (IL), who is a Never Trumper – and called him “one of my political heroes…I can’t tell you how meaningful this is to me.” During the 2016 national GOP convention, many IL GOP leaders, including then Gov. Rauner, former Gov. Jim Edgar, US Sen. Mark Kirk and Rauner-appointed Comptroller Leslie Munger, skipped the convention because they did not support Trump. Kirk even ran an ad that said that Trump was not “fit to be Commander in Chief.” Across Illinois, state Democratic leaders maintained their super majority control as Republicans failed to flip any seats despite this being a historic Republican year with Trump at the top of the ticket. Democrats in the state House maintain the largest majority over Republicans in Illinois history. So what’s the key takeaway? IL GOP leaders and their cadre of failed political consultants have proven that like the Chicago Bears – they can find creative ways to lose and snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. But what can you expect? It’s in their DNA.)

That ended my parents’ annual family reunions that had been held for many decades. That had a major impact on me.)
https://wordandway.org/2024/08/15/what-congress-reveals-about-lutheran-denominations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the current 532 members of Congress (there are three open House seats at the moment), Republicans have a narrow majority with 51% of the seats. The partisan divide among Lutheran members in Congress depends on which denomination. Of the 20 Lutheran members identified, 12 belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that Walz is part of, while 7 are in the more conservative Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. One other member, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which is smaller and more conservative than the other two bodies. . .The members of the 118th Congress show which Lutheran denominations in public life have the most partisan leaning. Only the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a bipartisan delegation, while the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod currently only send Republicans to Congress.)
