— To get more votes from those who are the following, candidates ever-increasingly promise to use government to give them more preference: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, have less money than others, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, etc. But to give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are the aforesaid is to discriminate against those who are conservative, White, male, older, married, heterosexual, have more money than others, Protestant, German American, have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, etc.

https://dailytorch.com/2024/08/time-for-never-trumpers-to-drop-their-conservative-charade/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee, is the most liberal nominee for president in history. She has ardently supported Medicare for All, also known as a complete federal government takeover of health care, even though she has tried to walk it back in this election cycle. Philosophically, self-proclaimed conservatives have argued vehemently against this policy and the experience of Covid should have given the practical reasons to back the rhetoric. She is on record as opposing hydraulic fracturing and the Biden-Harris energy policy is one that makes the country more dependent upon electricity generation while ending the most reliable sources to generate electricity. With the key Electoral College state Pennsylvania being a major economic beneficiary of fracking Harris now claims to be against banning the process. GOP “leaders” claim to oppose the Green New Deal destruction of fossil fuels generation, and pretend to understand that reliance on unreliable sources of energy puts our nation at risk. She has proposed price controls on food as a solution to inflation. You can’t find a single conservative leader in America who believes that the government can do a better job of pricing commodities than the market, and that food price controls don’t mean food shortages. Not even the Washington Post thinks this emphasis on price “gouging” is a good idea. Kamala Harris is an abortion extremist who as the California Attorney General raided the home of an independent journalist who uncovered an elaborate business venture by Planned Parenthood to market and sell baby body parts from aborted children. Kamala Harris did not prosecute Planned Parenthood, but the journalist who uncovered and videotaped the sickening practice of selling off body parts as if aborted children were human parts manufacturers. On taxes, she has embraced taxing unrealized capital gains. An example of an unrealized capital gain would be to impose a tax on a homeowner on any appreciation of the value of their home even though that money is only a paper gain and not in their bank account. Also, the Tax Foundation found that Harris’ pledge to end the Trump tax cuts will mean a tax increase for most Americans. In fact, the bottom half of taxpayers would have their average tax rate raised to 4 percent from the current 3.4 percent. Married couples with two children making a joint income of $85,000 a year would see their taxes go up by $1,661 a year, the equivalent of almost 2 percent of their entire pre-tax salary for the year. And of course, the Biden border Czarina Harris has seen 10 million illegals encountered at the border since she was given stewardship of the border crisis by President Biden. Note that this does not include the estimated 2 million illegals who got away after being observed by the Border Patrol. It is so bad that Harris is trying to deny any part in the Biden border fiasco, but not even Google can make the news clips of her appointment go away. It is really hard to find a screwball, California idea that Harris hasn’t supported, including banning gasoline powered cars, which the Biden-Harris administration would put out of business by 2037, two years after California banned them. All of this does not even include the Biden-Harris weaponization of the Justice Department and intelligence agencies against their political opponents, the on-going censorship and manipulation of social media platforms to promote the left’s political agenda, or her adamant opposition to the Second Amendment. In fact, it is hard to find a part of the Constitution that Harris actually supports. Given the above, any person who endorses Kamala Harris for president can no longer call themselves a conservative in any way, shape or form. They are not. They are massive government enablers unable to get over the fact that Donald Trump defeated them in a primary election in 2016 and again in the primary of 2024. The question that the Liz Cheneys of the world need to answer is whether they were lying when they claimed to be pro-life, support free markets, lower taxes, less federal government control, gun rights, energy independence and the basic freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution. Even those with the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome should be able to look at the policies of Kamala Harris and reject them outright. Those with the worst cases have the option of voting third party – maybe the pot party (err, the Libertarian Party) is high enough to earn your vote. But endorsing Kamala Harris is admitting that everything you said was important no longer matters, and that you support the likely final stage of the fundamental transformation of America because … Donald Trump. I can no longer take those seriously who have embraced the New Age Harris who rejects constitutional governance in her musings about being unburdened by the past The very soul of America is at stake, and there is no room in the fight to preserve the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution and the ideal that all are created equal endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights for those who would sacrifice our fundamental liberties because they don’t like mean tweets. Now, more than ever, in the words of Ronald Reagan, this is our time for choosing.)

— You Can Get through College without Debt. – GEORGE LEEF (COMMENT: I had to work my way through college and I did. I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. To ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth that, my critics/opponents have always stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, that my ACT score was only 24, that I got no scholarships, that my GPA was not that great, and that NIU is not Ivy League. In my defense, I stress that my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the part-time hours that could washing dishes while I was in high school and delivering mail while I was in college. But I acknowledge that could have a) worked fewer hours, b) earned less money, and c) not bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senate Minority Leader John Curran, R-Downers Grove, said Republicans are in a growth phase with a big tent. “Voters are moving towards us,” Curran told The Center Square. “They have had enough of the constant corruption in Cook County and the city of Chicago all run by Democrats.” Frederick Walls, a Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, said the state Republican party needs to put in resources to advertise for his and other Republican races in Democratic districts. “In 2022, I ran, and I was knocking on doors that where they had already mailed in their ballot because they didn’t know … me, but I could only reach so many houses walking door to door,” Walls told The Center Square. Curran said outreach and support to such candidates is a work in progress. “The city of Chicago, Cook County, this is an area where we are growing more of a presence, we need to, that work is ongoing right now,” Curran said. The Democratic Party of Illinois has $1.4 million cash on hand after Gov. J.B. Pritzker donated half a million earlier this month. The Illinois Republican Party has $745,000. Early voting for the Nov. 5 election begins Sept. 26.)

— The Democrat Party succeeds because its leaders defend and advance its platform. The Republican Party fails because far too many of its leaders fail/refuse to defend and advance far too many planks in its platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about those leaders of the following who have failed/refused to defend and advance the most planks since 2000: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on those who have done the most to get rid of those like me who support the aforesaid planks. – Dave Diersen

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/opinion/google-monopoly-ruling-break-up.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal judge recently told us what we already knew: that Google is a monopolist in the web search market. In his scathing 277-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta noted that Google has an 89.2 percent share of the overall search market and a 94.9 percent share of searches conducted on mobile devices. Fixing the problem is trickier. Next month, the judge will start deliberations on how to fix an industry that is so thoroughly dominated by one player. It is not going to be easy to jump-start competition in a market where Google has spent decades and billions of dollars quashing rivals.)

— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)

— Is Illinois a swing state this year? When it comes to presidential elections, Illinois has voted Democratic in the eight elections since 1988. However, in 1988 and the five presidential elections prior, Illinois voted Republican. (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government and they discriminate against their employees who are Republican. Starting in 1992 with Clinton’s election, because I was one of their extremely few employees who were Republican, my Democrat Chicago GAO superiors took even more adverse actions against me. Of course, they did not promote me. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) my earning job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They ever-increasingly treated me like I had not done any of the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

An even larger percentage of the survey takers (87%) support requiring voter ID in order to vote in federal elections, according to the poll.

— Democrats call Trump racist; Black Republican says that’s not true. – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: If you are a Republican, why is that?

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

DAILY HERALD
— The way out of the circus on display in Chicago – Kathy Salvi
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240820/columns/the-way-out-of-the-circus-on-display-in-chicago/
(FROM THE LETTER: Well, here we go: the circus is in town. No, I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey — at least they’re entertaining — but rather the Democratic National Convention. This week we will be force fed speeches from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and endure the woke primping and preening spewed from the Democrat mouthpieces on stage. Chicago is a fitting city for the Democrats to hold their convention: it is a great city in slow decay due to backward leftist and authoritarian policies. Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. Cost of living is sky high because Illinois is among the most-taxed states in the nation. All of these problems are due to blue rule, and they will be on full display for everyone visiting Chicago for the circus. The Democrats have had a tough act to follow this year. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a sight to see and an emotional event in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It was a display of unity that has been downplayed by the media across the country, and Republicans are united behind our ticket up and down the ballot. And I should mention — our top of the ticket candidate was actually voted for by the members of our party. We call that “democracy.” Conversely, the Democrats’ convention will be one filled with what we’ve come to expect from Democrats here in Illinois: false promises, gaslighting and manufactured hype behind a candidate who won’t do interviews. We’re seeing the Democrat propaganda machine whirring in full force propping up Kamala Harris after she unceremoniously ousted her boss from his candidacy without a single vote from the people. Anywhere else, that’s called a coup. Kamala Harris has yet to give an interview since being installed without a single Democrat vote. She chose a radical leftist VP who misrepresented his record. Stolen valor. Ask his own chaplain. The only candidate worse than Walz — and even Harris rejected the idea — would have been Illinois’ own failed governor, J.B. Pritzker. Sadly, we have not heard about any of the real issues and how Democrats will attempt to fix them. They have not talked about fixing the open southern border that has festered under Kamala Harris’ watch. The Democrats won’t touch the high cost of living imposed on people in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the country. They won’t give any concrete or real solution to the crime plaguing communities across the country or the corruption within their own Democratic Party from the United States Senate to Dolton, Illinois. Truth be told, there is a silver lining to the Democratic National Convention being in town here. Voters are seeing that there is no real plan coming from the Democrats. There are no real policies they’re running on. Americans are choking on their progressive nightmare, and the Democrats keep doubling down. Make no mistake, we here in Illinois are hurting. Workers are hurting. Families are hurting. Children are hurting, small businesses are hurting. No matter your political persuasion. We are one big hurt under the supermajority, Democrat domination in Illinois. And what has it delivered? A flight from Illinois, an unbearable tax burden on ordinary people, an unsustainable pension crisis, crime-ridden neighborhoods, unaffordable food & gas prices. All of this brought to us by the Illinois Democratic Party. Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the two U.S. Senate seats, 14 out of 17 congressional seats and a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate as well as the mayor’s office here in Chicago. Their only use for the Republican Party is to ridicule its sound policies and trigger hatred in those from whom they seek money to pursue even more power. We Republicans are scrappy and will fight, fight, fight our battle at the ballot box. In an analysis of those cities in Illinois run by Republican mayors here in Illinois, the air is fresher and the people happier. As I pen this commentary, most families, workers and small businesses in Illinois are awakening to host of problems brought on by the mistakes of our political leaders, mistakes that have increased our tax burden, dumbed down our public educational institutions and made our streets unsafe in which to travel. During the rest of the Democratic National Convention, open your ears to the truth and ask yourself: does the carnivalesque display I am watching reflect the America that I know and love? Illinois, there is a way out of this nightmare: wake up — Vote Republican.)

— Democrats say “Duckworth at DNC gets personal about IVF journey.” I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who had children and who used against me the most a) that my and my wife gave up trying to have children with trying IVF and b) that we did not adopt or become foster parents. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because we did not have children. They knew full-well that both of us had serious fertility problems. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. I would focus on my GAO superiors who adopted, whose spouse had little or no income, who complained about the tremendous amount of time and money it costs to raise children. I would focus on my GAO superiors who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that that I lied about our efforts to have children and that if my wife and I had children, I never would have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.

— Democrats say “Michelle Obama, Thrashing Trump, Suggests the Presidency Is a ‘Black Job.’ The former first lady enthralled a packed arena on Tuesday evening with one of the Democratic National Convention’s most emphatic takedowns of Donald J. Trump.” I should write a book that compares and contrasts Michelle Obama with me. I would compare and contrast the opportunities that she has had with the opportunities that I have had. I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. All my coworkers who my IRS and then GAO superiors promoted over me where Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)

POLITICO
— State delegations won’t stay at the Trump hotel. The Illinois delegation took the hotel that had a prime view of the former president’s property. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/08/19/dnc-live-updates-coverage/hotel-politics-00174668
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nearly 5,000 delegates who are visiting Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention are staying in eight hotels in the city’s downtown. We’ve got the list. ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-2fcf-d62b-a7df-ffeff6860000 ) Convention organizers have contracted with about 40 hotels to accommodate all the entourages and guests connected to the delegates and their state parties. But one hotel isn’t in the mix: Donald Trump’s Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. It’s not just that it’s a nonunion hotel — a requirement for the Democratic Party when it was looking for a convention town — it’s because of Trump. “Our party stands for unity, hope, and freedom — values that stand in fundamental opposition with everything the Trump name and brand represent,” Emily Soong, a spokesperson for the convention said. When it came time to assign delegations to the different hotels, Illinois picked the Royal Sonesta Chicago Hotel, which looks right at the river — and across from Trump hotel. The Illinois Democrats decided they would “take it on the chin” so that other delegations wouldn’t have to look out their windows to see the giant T-R-U-M-P sign on the side of the building, according to one Democratic insider. That also gives them a clear view of the trolling messages Democrats are projecting onto the building. Last night, my colleague Adam Wren spotted “PROJECT 2025 HQ,” among other messages, being beamed onto the building above that TRUMP sign.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: TONIGHT: Governor Pritzker Soft-Launches 2028 Presidential Campaign. CHICAGO — Last night, Americans heard from Joe Biden, whom elite Democrats unceremoniously removed from the ticket in an undemocratic process. Tonight, voters will listen to presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker, who will use his prime-time speech at the DNC as a stepping stone for a future presidential run – just as he used his time as governor to position himself as a viable national candidate. FIRST: Pritzker traveled to New Hampshire in 2022 to raise his profile and set up a future presidential run. THEN: Pritzker refused to quash rumors that he would leave Illinois to run for president when Democrats launched their soft coup against Joe Biden. THEN: When Kamala Harris was announced as the Democrats’ preferred choice, even though she never received a vote outside of California, Pritzker launched a full-court press campaign to become her vice president. NOW: After failing to earn the nod as the vice-presidential nominee, Pritzker immediately pivoted, making an effort to become the Democrats’ choice for president in 2028. Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement on Pritzker: “JB Pritzker failed Illinois as its governor allowing our state to be overrun by illegal border-crossers, out-of-control crime, billions of dollars in new taxes, and as a result, our great state is in slow decay. Illinois’ residents are leaving in unprecedented numbers due to Illinoisans being the overall highest taxed people in the nation. Businesses are taking flight leaving and Illinois’ citizens and taxpayers are left paying the check. As Pritzker soft-launches his campaign for president, Illinois families are hurting, and Pritzker doesn’t care – our state is just another stepping stone for him to advance his ambition while we are saddled with the heavy effect of his administration’s failed policies. One thing is clear from Pritzker’s prime-time speaking slot — the only way our state will have actual representation is by voting Republican in November.”

— Democrat and RINO employers use DEI to not hire Republicans, to not retain Republicans, to not promote Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors successfully used DEI to force me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Starting in 1980, they successfully used DEI to delay my promotions. After 1986, they successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 in 1988.

https://www.nprillinois.org/2024-08-19/republicans-to-rally-support-for-harris-at-the-dnc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June, several weeks before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the campaign hired former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s former chief of staff in June to focus on Republican outreach. . .Last week, a “Republicans for Harris” affinity group gathered online to hear from several high-profile Republicans including Kinzinger, former Rep. Denver Riggleman, former Republican White House officials and others. Additional Republican leaders are expected to speak at the Democratic convention in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the plans. Kinzinger is among them, according to a report by CNN.)

The civilian equivalent of Walz’s military rank of E-8 is GS-7 (currently $54,728/year). I was a) a GS-7 in 1971 when I was 22 years old, b) GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, c) GS-11 ($80,094) in 1973, d) GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974, and e) GS-13 ($115,439-$150,075) 1986-1997.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/18/fact-check-sen-tammy-duckworth-falsely-claims-tim-walz-is-a-retired-command-sergeant-major/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Tim Walz received his notification of eligibility for retirement on August 3, 2002. He was promoted to sergeant major (E-9) on September 17, 2004, and immediately began serving as the command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery while his packet was submitted to the National Guard Bureau to appoint him to command sergeant major (E-9). Once approved by NGB, he was laterally appointed to command sergeant major (E-9) on April 1, 2005. He retired from the Minnesota National Guard on May 16, 2005. Our records do not indicate when he made his request to retire. Leadership reviews and approves all requests to retire. He was administratively reduced to master sergeant (E-8) on May 15, 2005, because he did not complete all required U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy coursework.)

They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. When I was 49 years old in 1997, they forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/marclittle/2024/08/19/the-gops-black-wall-n2643561
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blacks, who comprise 18.2% of the federal bureaucracy run by Democrats, are not known for voting against the bureaucracy that feeds them. The fight to garner greater Black support cannot be left to influencers and rappers. An army of Black messengers must take the fight to the streets. Black voters are likely to elect the next president of the United States, so there must be a specific strategy and plan to get their votes. I fear no one has told Trump.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/18/dnc-little-palestine-chicago-protest/74805536007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The decision to host the DNC in Chicago was made before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel killed 1,200 and sparked the brutal military campaign in Gaza. Since then, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died − and Chicago was transformed into a hotbed of anti-war activity ahead of Biden and Harris’ arrival. The region’s anti-war activism, which has included parades of pro-Palestinian truckers in the suburbs and encampments at the city’s top universities, has been led predominantly by local Palestinian Americans. In addition to calling for a ceasefire, many Chicago Palestinians are also motivated by a fear that Democrats’ lackluster opposition to the Gaza war has encouraged the kind of anti-Muslim vitriol that sparked crimes like the murder of 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume in an alleged hate crime in neighboring Will County.)

Many of them have degrees from Ivy League universities. My having to work my way through college harmed my GPA big time. I spent far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying while I was in high school 1964-1966. Consequently I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class and my ACT score was only 24. I spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying while I took classes at UIC 1966-1969 and NIU in 1969. Nevertheless, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: The mainstream news media exists to elect Democrats and to defeat Republicans. It glorifies and praises Democrat delegates and it demonizes, denigrates, and condemns Republican delegates.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240816/nation-and-world-politics/meet-the-suburban-delegates-to-the-democratic-national-convention/
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrats say the “Republican Party has found itself riven by the influence of its most extreme elements.” But not in Illinois. Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party and many other Republican Organizations in Illinois have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-platform Republicans, that is, by anti-Republicans. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. That is why Republican candidates lose elections in Illinois.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our increasingly imperial executive branch has become the center of American politics as the presidency itself shrinks into irrelevancy. It is a dangerous dynamic that threatens the future of our country, and it’s been exposed during our current president’s lamest of lame-duck final months in office. President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the commander in chief to vacation, snooze, and eat ice cream.)

The aforesaid has ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, my professional license, etc.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/failure-femmes-deis-tragic-destruction-of-law-enforcement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too: Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process. This is reflected in the recent story about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission Wednesday, at a North Carolina Donald Trump campaign event, to nurse her baby (tweet below). The woman, who works out of the Atlanta Field Office, wasn’t supposed to bring a child to a protective assignment in the first place. Apparently, though, the SS failures in Butler, Pennsylvania, that enabled the Trump assassination attempt didn’t make an impression on her.)
