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

Will they stop me from attending the convention? Failing that, will they limit/stop my access to everything? They did everything that they could to stop me a) from learning about their DeSantis event, b) from attending their event, c) from speaking with anyone at their event, and d) from reporting on their event. My critics/opponent have taken many big adverse actions against me to curry favor with their many friends in the Democrat news media. I should write about that.

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

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

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

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

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

— Missouri candidate with ties to the KKK can stay on the Republican ballot, judge rules. The candidate describes himself as “pro-white” but denies being racist or antisemitic. – AP (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) do not want you to seek any kind of office: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. MTRO leaders are overjoyed that I was removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. They vehemently opposed my seeking to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019. They vehemently opposed my seeking to be the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. They refused to appoint me as a delegate to the 2004 IRP State Convention.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/missouri-candidate-kkk-can-stay-on-republican-ballot/3440913/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A longshot Missouri gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ku Klux Klan will stay on the Republican ticket, a judge ruled Friday. Cole County Circuit Court Judge Cotton Walker denied a request by the Missouri GOP to kick Darrell McClanahan out of the August Republican primary. McClanahan is running against Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, state Sen. Bill Eigel and others for the GOP nomination to replace Gov. Mike Parson, who is barred by term limits from seeking reelection. McClanahan’s lawyer, Dave Roland, said the ruling ensures that party leaders do not have “almost unlimited discretion to choose who’s going to be allowed on a primary ballot.” . . . The Missouri GOP accepted his party dues but denounced him after a former state lawmaker posted photos on social media that appear to show McClanahan making the Nazi salute. McClanahan confirmed the accuracy of the photos to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In his decision, Walker wrote that the Republican Party “has made clear that it does not endorse his candidacy, and it remains free to publicly disavow McClanahan and any opinions the plaintiff believes to be antithetical to its values.” “I’m not sure they ever actually intended to win this case,” said McClanahan’s lawyer, Roland. “I think the case got filed because the Republican Party wanted to make a very big public show that they don’t want to be associated with racism or anti-Semitism. And the best way that they could do that was filing a case that they knew was almost certain to lose.” The Associated Press’ emailed requests for comment to the Missouri GOP executive director and its lawyer were not immediately returned Friday. But Missouri GOP lawyers have said party leaders did not realize who McClanahan was when he signed up as a candidate back in February. McClanahan has argued that the Missouri GOP was aware of the beliefs. He previously ran as a Republican for U.S. Senate in 2022. In a separate lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League last year, McClanahan claimed the organization defamed him by calling him a white supremacist in an online post. In his lawsuit against the ADL, McClanahan described himself as a “Pro-White man.” McClanahan wrote that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan; he said received an honorary one-year membership. And he said he attended a “private religious Christian Identity Cross lighting ceremony falsely described as a cross burning.”)

https://nypost.com/2024/05/19/us-news/illinois-student-marko-niketic-killed-weeks-before-graduation-by-alleged-drunk-driver-taeyoung-kim-going-over-120-mph-report/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A high school senior was killed just weeks before graduation when a suspected drunk driver, speeding at over 120 mph, split his car into two during a crash in a Chicago suburb. Marko Niketic, 17, was driving with his 16-year-old girlfriend in Glenview, IL when a sports car struck their vehicle at an intersection just after 11 p.m. on May 12. The driver, Taeyoung Kim, 21, had been driving his 2021 Ford Mustang with a passenger from his home in Northbrook to downtown Chicago and back earlier in the day, according to court records obtained by NBC Chicago. “The investigation revealed at 2308 hours (11:08 p.m.) on May 12, Kim drove his vehicle westbound on East Lake Ave, at a high rate of speed in a reckless manner,” the Glenview Police Department said. Kim’s car crashed into Niketic as the teen was making a left turn through the intersection of East Lake Ave and Meadow Lane, approximately 20 miles northwest of Chicago. Kim had been racing past other cars going westbound on Lake Ave, with one driver noting Kim increasing speeds and turning his headlights off. “As Niketic began turning, Kim’s vehicle approached the intersection at an immense rate of speed, still with the headlights off,” the court documents allege. “Just as Kim was entering the intersection, the headlights turned back on as Kim’s vehicle crashed into Niketic’s vehicle.” The front of Kim’s car struck the driver’s side of Niketic’s vehicle, splitting it into two. The front half of Niketic’s sedan remained in the road, with the back half being sent flying through a nearby fence and landing in a backyard. Kim’s car, which had a dashcam recording his joyride, came to a halt near a tree on the side of the road. Witnesses inside the homes near the scene of the crash immediately called 911 before rushing to the scene and observed Niketic inside his vehicle, appearing to be deceased, Kim’s bond court proffer read. Other witnesses observed Kim sitting inside his car and admitted he had been drinking, while his passenger was lying on the ground bleeding heavily, WMAQ reported. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His girlfriend and Kim’s passenger were both rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Niketic’s girlfriend, who remains unidentified, suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, hematoma of the brain, a fracture of the pelvis vertebrae and hyper-density of the left frontal lobe of the brain with loss of consciousness and seizure. She was released from the hospital on Friday. Kim’s passenger sustained a fracture to his back and a severed artery in the crash. Kim suffered a broken femur, and a blood-drawn test concluded he had a blood alcohol level of .088, the test also revealed he had cannabis in his system. During their investigation, police found a bong, rolling papers, a one-hitter cannabis pipe with residue and two plastic containers with cannabis residue inside Kim’s vehicle. Kim was arrested on Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated DUI causing death, reckless homicide, aggravated DUI causing great bodily harm, DUI of alcohol, DUI of drugs, and several traffic violations including speeding 35 mph over the limit. He appeared in court on Saturday. Kim is being held without bond, and his next court date is scheduled for May 24, according to jail records viewed by The Post. Niketic’s funeral was held on Thursday, two days before his high school, Glenbrook South, held its prom. Niketic was set to graduate on June 2. “He’s one of those people, you meet him, and he’s glowing. The most genuine human ever,” friend Preston Shute told NBC Chicago. “He had a lot of stuff ahead of him. I can’t really process it.”)

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

I am a White male born in 1948. If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT LEANING SOURCES

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

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

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

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

From what I see, the more that my readers oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members, reject planks in the Republican Party platform, and/or disapprove of my demographics, the more that they disapprove of me. I should write a book about my readers who disapprove of me the most. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and reelect since 2000. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who use their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work.)

CNN
— By disallowing my education deductions in 1978 when I was 29 years old, IRS sent a big message. I had just been the subject of a 4-page “One Person’s Finances” article in Money Magazine. I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for 5 years and as a Special Procedures Staff Advisor for 2 years. My salary in today’s dollars was $106,785/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. The message that IRS sent was that IRS does not want employees who share my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. The message that IRS sent was that IRS does not want employees like me who oppose patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The message that IRS sent was that IRS can and will use its power to destroy whoever it wants to. Subsequently, IRS was furious when I a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) transferred to GAO in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) became a licensed CPA in 1981. GAO audits IRS. Neither the Democrats who ran IRS nor the Democrats who ran GAO wanted me to be assigned to audits of IRS. The forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

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

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

I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. I was the only White male who ever held that job in that store.

They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, at least one of my superiors was an anti-conservative Jew and during my last 8 years they all were anti-conservative Jews. They all took many big adverse actions against me. From what I see, if they were still in charge today, they would side with Hamas against Israel.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Officially, who are all the candidates for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and National Committeewoman? What are their qualifications? Why are they running? Illinois Republicans await a press release from the IRP. The deadline for applying was Friday, May 3, 2024 at 5:00 PM. According to a May 8, 2024 Prairie State Wire article at https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/658419645-kolber-seeking-rnc-committeeman-seat-important-green-shoots-are-growing-in-illinois , Vince Kolber is seeking the IRP National Committeeman seat and he faces Dean White (8th CD) and Mark Shaw (1st CD). While I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2010, I conducted a candidate forum for an open IRP National Committeeman seat. Jack Roeser participated. See a Chicago Tribune article titled “Illinois Republicans pick Williamson as new national GOP representative” at https://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2010/04/illinois-republicans-pick-williamson-as-new-national-gop-representative.html and a Huffington Post article titled “Jack Roeser, Wealthy Conservative, Passed Over For GOP Leadership Role; Rich Williamson Wins National Committeeman” at https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-roeser-wealthy-conse_n_549492 . From the Tribune article: “Williamson succeeds Pat Brady, who vacated the position when he became chairman of the Illinois Republican Party last year. Also interested in the national post were conservative Carpentersville businessman Jack Roeser and former governor candidate Jim Oberweis. The selection was made before a Republican fundraiser in honor of the statewide ticket and featuring controversial RNC Chairman Michael Steele. It was supposed to be open to the media, but Brady decided to close it today.” – Dave Diersen

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— APRIL 13, 2024 FLASHBACK: IL GOP National Committeeman Race Heats Up, Includes a Former State Party Chairman and a Wisconsin Voter
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/04/il-gop-national-committeeman-race-heats-up-includes-a-former-state-party-chairman-and-a-wisconsin-voter.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The race amongst the Illinois Republican Party’s State Central Committee to be the next Republican National Committeeman is heating up as candidates campaign to replace outgoing national committeeman Richard Porter and national committeewoman Demetra Demonte, who cannot run for a third time because of term limits. While the state central committee represents the governing board of the IL GOP, the national committeeman – one male and one female, represents the state party along with the state GOP chairman before the Republican National Committee The position requires frequent travel to RNC meetings throughout the country and they are elected by delegates at the state convention. The national committeeman also votes in the RNC chairman’s election, and last year, Porter, Demonte and IL GOP chairman Don Tracy all voted to support Ronna Romney-McDaniel over the grassroots-backed candidate Harmeet Dhillon. Running to replace Porter are three candidates: state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White, and IL GOP Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber.”)

IDAHO POST REGISTER
— This race matters (COMMENT: Who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman? Since 2002, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) who oppose direction of IRP State Central Committee members and/or who reject planks in the IRP platform have failed in their efforts to recruit a registered Republican in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 (previously Precinct 9) in Wheaton to run against me and to defeat me for Precinct Committeeman. But I anticipate/expect that the aforesaid leaders will do whatever that they believe is necessary to get a registered Republican in my precinct to run against me and to defeat me in 2026. I should write a book the aforesaid leaders and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me so far, most recently, removing me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee.)

IDAHO CAPITOL SUN & NEWS FROM THE STATES
— Idaho 2024 primary election: Precinct committee races represent battle for soul of GOP. Hundreds of Idahoans are running for obscure precinct positions that could shake up the state’s Republican Party leadership. – CLARK CORBIN

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Hundreds of obscure, down ballot primary election races for neighborhood-level political positions are drawing intense competition in Idaho and have the potential to shake up party leadership – particularly within the dominant Republican Party. The problem – according to officials on both sides of the fight for control and influence of the Republican Party – is that many voters have no idea what precinct committeemen are and likely don’t recognize the names of candidates running for these positions because they aren’t high profile offices like a congressional representative, state legislator or even a county commissioner or city council member. “I would say 99% of people don’t know and don’t know who their precinct committeeman is,” former Idaho Lt. Gov. Jack Riggs said in a telephone interview. “But your neighborhood precinct is the foundation of the party, and in our case, the Republican Party.” The stakes are so high that Riggs wrote in an April 26 opinion piece for the North Idaho Republicans that “This May, precinct committeeman will be the most important race on the ballot.” Riggs, a Republican physician who served as lieutenant governor from 2001 to 2003, is the co-founder of a group called North Idaho Republicans. The group is one of at least two groups of established, traditional Idaho Republicans who are engaging heavily in the precinct committee elections this year as part of an effort to take the Republican Party back from its current leadership team that includes Chairwoman Dorothy Moon. The other group is called Gem State Conservatives, and it includes former Idaho Republican Party chairmen Trent Clark and Tom Luna. Moon defeated Luna to become chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party in 2022. . .“There is a statewide effort to take over the party at the precinct level,” Regan said in a telephone interview. “That is not what precinct committeemen are supposed to be; it’s not supposed to be the elites and the higher ups, it’s supposed to be the grassroots, the ma and pa,” Regan added. “It’s supposed to represent the voters and the people, not a bunch of special interests. When Tom Luna lost in a landslide and his faction of the party was no longer in charge of the party, they set aside their prior calls for unity at the convention when they lost and a bunch got up and left.” Multiple efforts to reach Moon, the chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, were unsuccessful. Additionally, Moon did not respond to a list of questions about precinct committee races that a reporter from the Sun emailed to Moon and another Idaho GOP official on April 22. What is a precinct committeeman and what do they do in Idaho? There are only a few requirements to run for precinct committeeman. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, be a U.S. citizen and have been a registered voter in the precinct for at least six months before the election. Idaho law refers to the position as precinct committeeman, but anyone can run for the office, not just men. Although they are obscure, the precinct committeemen are important because they make up the grassroots level of political parties and help determine the parties’ leaders and rules. For example, the precinct committeeman elected in the May 21 Republican primary will play a big role in who is elected chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party during the upcoming GOP state convention this summer. Precinct committeemen essentially make up the county central committees for political parties in Idaho. Under state law, within 10 days of the primary election, the precinct committeemen who are elected are required to meet, organize their county central committees and elect a county chairperson and officers. Once the county central committees are organized, they select the delegates that will attend the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention that begins June 13 in Coeur d’Alene. At the convention, delegates will vote on who to elect as chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party and will help write and pass any changes to party rules or the party platform, which lists the party’s core beliefs and policies it supports. In Idaho, it is basically impossible to track how much money is going into precinct committeeman campaigns. Unlike other offices, there are no campaign finance reporting requirements for precinct committeemen with the county or the state, and there is no limit to what they can raise or spend, said Chelsea Carattini, a spokesperson for the Idaho Secretary of State’s office. Precinct committeemen are required to disclose a “paid for by” designation on any materials, Carattini said. Campaign finance information gives the public a transparent look at money funding political campaigns and candidates, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. For state level candidates, all money raised and spent on a campaign must be tracked and accounted for, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. Even local county candidates and judicial candidates must report campaign finance information once they raise $500, including the sources and expenses for that first $500. But for precinct committeemen, there are no such reporting requirements, Carattini said. How many precinct candidates are running in Idaho’s primary election this year? Unlike statewide races and elections, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office does not maintain a list of all the statewide candidates running for precinct committeeman in Idaho, Carattini said. Instead of the state keeping tabs, it’s up to local county election officials. But for context, there are almost 300 Republicans in Ada County alone running for a precinct committeeman position in the May 21 Republican primary. . .How can you tell where precinct committeeman candidates stand on issues? The ability to inform voters about these tiny precinct level offices is a challenge for everybody on all sides of this election. The North Idaho Republicans and supporters of the Gem State Conservatives have published lists of the precinct committeeman candidates they are supporting or have recruited. Regan said Republican Party rules prevent central committees from endorsing precinct committeemen. Instead, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has published a list of its current precinct committeemen in a list posted below a list of candidates for other offices that have been vetted and recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. Beyond looking at lists published online or on social media, Wasden recommends voters find out what precinct they are in and spend time researching the candidates running for precinct committeeman in their neighborhood. To support establishment Republicans looking to take the party back, Wasden urged voters to listen to see if candidates support education and public schools, reasonable government services, low taxes and fewer regulations. There’s been an increase in those running for the position in other Idaho counties as well. “For years now, the public’s interest and participation in Idaho’s Republican Party has been growing, and this year there were a record number of applicants to serve in Bonneville County,” said a press release from Nicholas Contos, Bonneville County Republican Party chairman. Across the state, there are more than 930 precincts in total, and each precinct can be represented by a different precinct committeeman in each of the four political parties the state recognizes. While state election officials do not have an exact number of precinct committeeman candidates running for office this year, longtime political observers say they have never seen this much interest and competition for the positions. “Right now what is happening is traditional, true Republicans have decided we are going to take back this party,” said Tracey Wasden, a longtime Republican booster and party official who has served as a precinct committeeman and president of the Idaho Federation of Republican Women.”)

— A Republican operative is running for Congress in Georgia with Trump’s blessing. Will it be enough? (COMMENT: I have never been an operative for any person and I never will be. My critics/opponents have a very hard time calling me an operative because I do not need/want more money. I have enough money. I have a Civil Service Retirement System pension, currently $65,165/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance. We have no debts. We have no children or dependents. We have substantial retirement savings. We own a home in Wheaton, a car condo in Naperville, and seven cars and an SUV. I have no desire for a political office or government office. I am 75 years old. Because of the aforesaid, no one manipulates me, no one dominates me, and no one ever will. While they can and do take big public adverse actions against me, for example, removing me from the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolution Committee, my critics/opponents decry that no one can tell me what to do.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/why-1960-alternate-electors-succeeded-where-2020-ones-failed-5637240
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A November election decades ago produced a clear winner in a hotly contested presidential race. Yet the popular vote immediately came under scrutiny in several states. In one, auditors discovered clear errors in tabulating vote totals. In others, credible evidence of election fraud was uncovered. With a court challenge underway, electors from both parties met at a state capitol and conducted the electoral vote. Two certifications were forwarded to Washington, one declaring the Democratic candidate to be the victor, the other naming the Republican. The Republican vice president—also a candidate in the race—convened a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. Without fanfare, he moved to accept the Democratic slate of electors and set the Republican electors aside. So ended the presidential election of 1960. The state in question was Hawaii. The vice president was Richard Nixon, who ran against Democrat John F. Kennedy, and would have won if as few as 11,000 votes spread over five battleground states had gone the other way. Sixty years later, history nearly repeated itself as Republican electors from seven states sent alternative electoral certifications to Washington amid allegations of election fraud.)

— Trump may face $100M+ tax bill if he loses IRS audit fight over Chicago tower – AP (COMMENT: Democrat leaders use IRS to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 when I was a GS-12 Step 4 (currently $106,785/year) IRS Collection Division Special Procedures Staff Advisor. They stressed their disallowance to all my IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates and to everyone else. They disallowed the graduate evening business and accounting courses that I had taken at Loyola and DePaul 1972-1978. Even though my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses and I had stated that in my Loyola and DePaul applications, they outrageously and unethically argued that the courses were not related to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

I would focus on my Democrat Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. I would focus on those who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that America lost the war because of hypocrites and cowards like me. They stressed that I should have enlisted straight out of high school because of my being 1-A for the draft and because of my demographics (White, male, conservative, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844). But that instead, while and after my peers died in Vietnam, I got draft deferments and a) earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976 and in 1980, b) bought a new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., c) went on vacations every year since 1969 except 1972, d) bought real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and 1984, and e) earned professional certifications in 1979 and1981 and a professional license in 1981. They stressed that because of my health problems, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. I could not run because I had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. They used the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that I was a super hypocrite and a super coward.)

They have falsely charged me with “leaking” confidential/private information. I should sue them for that. All the “information” that they charge me with “leaking” was already in the public realm, was already know by the Democrats and/or their news media, and/or was my opinion. They have never wanted me to report that Republican events that were open to the public took place, who organized those events, where or when those events took place, who spoke at those events, who the high-profile attendees were at those events, or home many attended those events.)
https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/news/free-speech-absolutist-elon-musk-032732704.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who has described himself as a “free speech absolutist,” is now threatening to sue his own employees who leak information to the press, according to an email he sent to workers reportedly leaked Saturday to a media organization. Musk issued a message warning the company’s workers against leaking “confidential” information, and threatening to sue “for damages” those who violated non-disclosure agreements, according to the email obtained by tech outlet Platformer. Managing Editor Zoe Schiffer then distributed Musk’s message — on Twitter. Musk asked staffers to sign a pledge indicating they understood his email, and said he expected a response by 5 p.m. Saturday, Schiffer said. She did not post the actual email in an effort to do everything possible to protect the source, she said. It was a dramatic turnaround from Musk’s catch phrase “transparency is the key to trust,” and “sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Musk could not immediately be reached for comment.)

— Trump audited for double-dipping tax breaks on Chicago’s Trump Tower. ProPublica and the New York Times found the former president could end up owing the IRS more than $100 million for claiming the same massive losses twice on his namesake River North tower.

— At Loyola, other four-year colleges, a chance to earn a two-year associate degree as a start. The aim is to give students who might not initially see themselves going to a four-year school a boost that might help them eventually get a bachelor’s degree, as few two-year students do now. – Matt Krupnick (COMMENT: One of my biggest decisions in life was to get a four-year college degree in business even though no one saw me as being “college material.” Neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I could not run because a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, I demonstrated no leadership potential, and I had to work my way through college. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Stop asking amateurs to oversee public transit – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. Instead of me, GAO assigned amateurs to audit IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. My coworkers who they assigned to audits of IRS instead of me knew little or nothing about IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then certainly did not want Republicans like me to work on audits of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.)

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

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Far too many of those who want to keep the current in-house system for electing Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members destroy those like me who promote direct election of IRP SCC members.

I have promoted direct election of IRP SCC members big time since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000. I served on the teams that fought for direct election at the IRP State Conventions in 2008 and 2012.

I should write a book about those who oppose direct election the most and who because of that have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me..

I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the IRP platform. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work.

I would focus on past and present leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO).

I would focus on those a) who removed me from the 2024 IRP State Convention Party Platform and Resolutions Committee, b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) who ended my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) who gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) who ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) who ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) who ended my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) who ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) who almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) who ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) who ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

— Become A Precinct Committeeman – Steven Carr, Glen Rock, PA (COMMENT: I should write books about the success that Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs have had since 2000 in infiltrating, infesting, taking over, conquering, and destroying the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.)
https://libertylens.news/articles/letters/2024/05/10/become-a-precinct-committeeman/
(FROM THE LETTER: By becoming a Republican Committeeman for your local county or State Republican Party, you can vote on County bylaws and help elect better county and state party leadership of the republican party and local county GOP. Plus, get out the vote for better MAGA and America First candidates to get on the ballot and get more republican voters to your very own voting precinct and change the republican party from inside the party by recruiting more precinct committeeman to the republican party to outnumber the moderates in the republican party. No precinct committeeman? No republican party. It’s that simple. There are over 200,000 empty precinct committee seats in the Republican party that need to be filled. If you need more information on becoming a precinct committeeman, go to Dan Schultz’ website PrecinctStrategy.com. The Precinct Committeeman is the most powerful office in the country because we help get the candidates on to the primary ballot and endorse candidates and can even primary candidates off the ballot. Plus, we elect leadership all the way up to the RNC Chair.)

In my 1980 GAO Analyst application, I stressed a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years as a Revenue Officer, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do and what GAO Analysts do is very similar, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and e) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats who ran GAO ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed the aforesaid by forcing me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer.)

— What You Aren’t Hearing About Marijuana’s Health Effects. Bertha Madras, a leading expert on weed, outlines the science linking it to psychiatric disorders, permanent brain damage, and other serious harms. – Allysia Finley (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly push more pot.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-you-arent-reading-about-marijuana-permanent-brain-damage-biden-schedule-iii-9660395e
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Young people who smoked marijuana in the 1960s were seen as part of the counterculture. Now the cannabis culture is mainstream. A 2022 survey sponsored by the National Institutes of Health found that 28.8% of Americans age 19 to 30 had used marijuana in the preceding 30 days—more than three times as many as smoked cigarettes. Among those 35 to 50, 17.3% had used weed in the previous month, versus 12.2% for cigarettes. While marijuana use remains a federal crime, 24 states have legalized it and another 14 permit it for medical purposes. Last week media outlets reported that the Biden administration is moving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous Schedule III drug—on par with anabolic steroids and Tylenol with codeine—which would provide tax benefits and a financial boon to the pot industry. Bertha Madras thinks this would be a colossal mistake. Ms. Madras, 81, is a psychobiology professor at Harvard Medical School and one of the foremost experts on marijuana. “It’s a political decision, not a scientific one,” she says. “And it’s a tragic one.” In 2024, that is a countercultural view.)

In my defense, I have stressed a) that my parents never attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that he never earned more than $50.000/year in today’s dollars, d) that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, e) that he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, f) that my mother never attended high school, and g) that I had to work my way through college. I should write a book about mt critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and/or who got them jobs.)

Unanswered questions concerning the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who represents each of the 17 congressional districts on the committee and what is their contact information?
— Who has replaced me as the member who represents the 3rd Congressional District and what reasons have been given for my removal?
— At the IRP State Convention in Collinsville May 24-25, which committee members are going to vote on May 24 for the resolution that calls for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote to strengthen or to weaken calls for promoting the following in the platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving)?

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do political consultants in Illinois who want Republican candidates to lose advise Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders and their candidates to do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The IRP platform in conservative. I am one of the extremely few Republican political consultants in Illinois. I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants since 2001. I served on the board of directors of its Midwest Chapter 2001-2004. I want Republican candidates to win. Political consultants in Illinois who want Republican candidates to lose do not advise the IRP leaders or their candidates to defend and advance the IRP platform. Instead, they advise the IRP leaders and their candidates to ignore the platform, to paint themselves as being Democrat Lite if not anti-conservative, and to give the voters what they want. According to them, Illinois voters want 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. Far too many IRP leaders and far too many of their candidates have taken that advice and are taking that advice. That is why Republican candidates are losing elections. That is why I am extremely concerned that efforts are under way under the table to move the new IRP platform to the left.

Call for articles. Please email to me at diersen@aol.com links to articles in which Illinois Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, major donors, and activists promote the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving). – Dave Diersen

Better yet, I should sue them.

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— How CPA Firms Can Prepare for Illinois’ Pay Transparency Law. Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, employers in Illinois will be required to disclose salary ranges in job postings. Here’s what CPA firms and other organizations can do now to prepare. – Helena Almeida (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 required me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)
