JOURNAL TOPICS
— Democrats say “Illinois House OKs Bill To Prohibit Banning Of Books In Libraries; Senate Next.” Democrats ever-increasingly use books to promote the Democrat Party platform.
https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/illinois-house-oks-bill-to-prohibit-banning-of-books-in-libraries-senate-next/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois House passed a bill last Wednesday that would prohibit libraries from banning books or other material because of partisan or doctrinal pressure, prompting strong opposition from Republicans who called it an assault on local control. . .Some Republicans, however, argued that public libraries are governed by locally elected boards, and that those boards should have the authority to decide how best to serve their communities. “I find this a complete assault on local control,” said Rep. Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills). These people volunteer as nonpartisan elected local officials, and for the state to tell a local library board, ‘listen to the professionals; follow the professionals’ – I don’t understand why we have local elections anymore if a bill like this passes.” The bill passed the House 69-39 with all of the no votes coming from Republicans. Three Democrats and one Republican were recorded as present but not voting. The bill next goes to the Senate for consideration.)

ADVANTAGE NEWS
— Democratic Party of Illinois spending in local school and library board races – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: According to Democrats, school board candidates have an “extremist political agenda” if they do NOT promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, if they do NOT promote the following: a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration. e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeism/wokeness, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party of Illinois is spending $300,000 on mailers and online campaigns for local school and library board races early next month. Democrats said in a news release they’ve identified dozens of candidates they recommend and oppose while launching a website DefendOurSchoolsIL.com. Last week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker explained why his attention is on local school board races. “There are lots of candidates who are running, Republicans or Democrats, they’re not listed on the ballots as such. What we’re trying to do is to raise awareness about the extremists that are running,” Pritzker said at an unrelated event last week.)

FOX ILLINOIS
— Democrats say House Republicans say “No legitimate basis” for 2021 DOJ memo on school board threats. How successful have Democrats been in making the parents in your school district hate Republicans? I should survey the parents in my precinct. My precinct contains the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 headquarters, a public grade school, and a public middle school.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “This appeared to be a manufactured crisis. It was all put together for politics,” House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said. Despite calls to do so, Garland hasn’t rescinded the memo.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “What a House GOP messaging bill could spell for 2024 culture war campaign.” How successful have the Democrats who run your school district been in making its schools crank out sexually active LGBTQing “good little Democrats?” What percent of the students in your school district a) are not reading or doing math at grade level and/or b) are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-rich people, anti-home owners, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?
https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-03-24/what-a-house-gop-messaging-bill-could-spell-for-2024-culture-war-campaign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill, introduced by Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow, requires schools to notify parents that they have the right to review the curriculum and school budget, inspect books and other library materials, and receive information about any violent activity in the school. The bill would also prohibit schools from selling student information. Elementary schools or schools housing grades 5-8 would be required to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s pronouns or preferred name or allowing a student to change their sex-based accommodations, like locker rooms or bathrooms.)
— Democrats say “President Biden’s nominee to head the FAA has withdrawn after Republican criticism.” I should write a book about those who have wasted my IRS work experience the most. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year. GAO audits IRS. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $109,732-$117,047/year. I would focus on a) my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, b) my Republican U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, c) Speaker Hastert, d) staff members for the aforesaid, and e) candidates of the aforesaid offices and their political consultants and campaign managers.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2022, nearly 38% of Illinois’ fourth grade students did not meet grade level reading standards, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This is roughly average and is not significantly lower than the nation’s overall reading scores.)

DEFEND OUR SCHOOLS IL
— According to Democrats, school board candidates have an “extremist political agenda” if they do NOT promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, if they do NOT promote the following: a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration. e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeism/wokeness, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

CHICAGO CRUSADER
— Democrats say “Advocates push for tax credit aimed at increasing affordable housing.” In 1971, HUD guaranteed $30 million in loans to create University Park. If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would hint/imply/argue/shout that I unethically bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/University-Park/774-Sunset-Ct-60484/unit-5/home/23344604 ) that HUD had earmarked for Blacks.)
https://chicagocrusader.com/advocates-push-for-tax-credit-aimed-at-increasing-affordable-housing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lawmakers are considering bills that would create a new tax credit for affordable housing, referred to as the “Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit.” The legislation, contained in the identical House Bill 2044 and Senate Bill 1737, would mirror a federal program administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and Chicago Department of Housing which helps finance affordable housing across Illinois.

— Could we get the ‘banned books’ people to start caring about banned books? – Timothy P. Carney
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/could-we-get-banned-books-people-care-banned-books
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Did you know that the 1619 Project is a banned book? This might surprise you, given that it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, has a Hulu original series, and that governments everywhere are paying the author tens of thousands of dollars to speak about the book. Did you know that The Handmaid’s Tale is also banned? Again, this could be a confusing fact for anyone paying any attention to American media and elite culture over the past seven years. But the 1619 Project and The Handmaid’s Tale are two of the books pictured in this NPR story on banned books or the “banned book” websites to which it links. Of course, by no ordinary understanding of the word “banned” are these books banned, as evidenced that every book mentioned herein is available at every prestige bookstore, every chain bookstore, and Amazon. What’s going on is that activists have decided to change the meaning of “banned books” to include any book that has been removed from a middle school curriculum or is not stocked in a high school library. It’s normal that activists would abuse language in order to make their own issue seem more important. It’s unfortunate that this abuse of language is at the hands of people who claim to care about literacy, given that precision in language is a way in which literature can liberate and inform. It’s also lamentable that so much of the news media credulously adopts the activists’ dishonest language. NPR uncritically repeats the word “ban” more than 50 times in this story about books that obviously everyone can buy, get for free, and take out from public libraries.)

— Democrats say “More immigrants can help reduce deficits and the debt.” Immigrants take “bad jobs.” If there had been as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, a) S.S. Kresge would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1966 to wash dishes, b) the Post Office would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1966 to deliver mail, c) IRS would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1971 to collect delinquent taxes, and d) GAO would have hired an immigrant instead of me in 1980 to audit federal agencies. My critics/opponents cannot similarly say that immigrants would have been hired instead of them because they did not have to take “bad jobs” because their parents had far more money than my parents had. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrats say “What It’s Like to Become a Caregiver to Your Parents in Your 20s.” My mother stayed home and raised my brother and I. She never attended high school. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21-year-old NIU student. Potential employers were not interested in hiring me because they viewed me as being draft-bait and my demographics were terrible. In 1970, after a) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, b) getting a job working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, a job that did not really require a college degree, c) moving back in with my mother and brother in Crete, and d) starting to help support them financially, I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment. Before that application was approved in 1971, a) Oldsmobile offered me a job which I accepted, b) my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that job offer, and c) Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of the aforesaid, I accepted a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $52,002/year) Revenue Officer. I got rehired by Firestone to work part-time pumping gasoline and I continued to live with my mother and brother and to help support them financially until my mother got a better paying job in 1972. In September of 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents in Wheaton who continue to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most as being a newcomer. They stress that unlike them, a) I have not have lived in Wheaton as long as them — I have lived in Wheaton only since I was 29 years old in 1978, b) I never raised any children in Wheaton, c) I never attended any schools in Wheaton, d) I never attended any churches in Wheaton, and/or e) I never worked in Wheaton. I would focus on the aforesaid who have also demonized, denigrated, and condemned my hometown of Crete when I lived there 1948-1972 as being full of racist, sexist, bigoted Missouri Synod Lutheran German Americans. Better yet, I should sue my critics/opponents.)

EPOCH TIMES
— House Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act – Joseph Lord
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-parents-bill-of-rights-act_5147144.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Republicans’ key goals in crafting the bill was to ensure that parents who speak out against what is being taught to their children do not face retribution from local, state, or federal authorities. “No longer will [parents] have their speech denied, or feel threatened for expressing their concerns at school board meetings,” Foxx said. The comment was in reference to a late-2021 controversy in which Attorney General Merrick Garland offered federal resources and guidance to local law enforcement to target parents who attended school board meetings. In 2021, the United States saw a deluge of concerned parents coming to school board meetings to speak out against left-wing ideology in the classroom. Many parents came to their school board to speak out against critical race theory (CRT), a highly contentious left-wing theory that holds that white people are inherently “privileged” and that non-white people are inherently oppressed. Critics of CRT note that it has its origins in the political thought of Karl Marx, the ideological founder of communism; the theory has also been criticized as racist for its efforts to reduce the individual to a member of a group on the basis of their skin color. In his remarks against the bill, Scott suggested that CRT was “an accurate recounting of our nation’s history,” and that the legislation would “punish librarians” who pushed CRT. Other parents came to school board meetings to speak out against fringe left-wing notions of sex and gender. Many left-wing activists claim that gender is a social construct and that a person can change their gender based on their feelings. One parent, Terry Newsome of Chicago, who spoke out against allowing “Gender Queer” in his kids’ school library in 2021, was later placed on a terror watch-list with no warning or further explanation.)

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/huckabee-sanders-goes-after-white-privilege-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a mandatory training last month, a high school in Arkansas issued its teachers a poll that forced them to reject the perks that come with being White. The survey was titled “Cultural Competency Continuum: Knowledge, Behaviors, and Dispositions for Educators,” and it was handed out during an obligatory educator-led development training, according to a letter sent by John L. Colbert, Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent. However, the unexpected teacher survey may have possibly violated Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ restriction on Critical Race Theory (CRT). “My administration will not tolerate this kind of CRT and indoctrination in our public schools,” Sanders said. Photos of the four-section survey, which the group had obtained from a teacher, were tweeted by a local “Mom’s for Liberty” chapter. “This survey compels teachers to acknowledge that, if White, they are biased, racist, and privileged… The survey does not measure IF a teacher is racist and privileged but rather how far down the racist and privileged continuum their answers rate them,” tweeted the mother-run group. “If there was any question about the presence of CRT in our district, this survey removes all doubt.” The Cultural Competency Continuum survey was recently given to teachers at Fayetteville High. This survey requires “teachers to acknowledge and to continually examine the influence of race, culture, power and privilege…In the “Analyze and Align” portion, educators were asked if they renounce “any privileges that come with White racial identity” and if they “advocate for cultural competency and social justice effectively and professionally.” The “Awaken and Assess” portion questioned participants if they were cognizant of their own privileges, biases, and stereotypes. In the “Apply and Act” portion, participants were asked if they normally “monitor and manage equitable access and support services” for their students by looking at data on their gender, color, ethnicity, and language. Also, it inquired as to whether they permit pupils to raise the awareness of teachers “by questioning bias assumptions or behaviors observed in our school environment.” Additionally, the survey questioned if participating educators were “brave equity warriors.” “We’ve already reached out to the district to ensure no teacher is forced to sign this pledge. We’re making sure it doesn’t happen again. We will teach kids how to think, not what to think,” Sanders said. Sanders had announced a ban on the schooling of CRT as one of her first official acts as governor. In his letter, Colbert stated that the Arkansas Department of Education had found the survey to be in violation of this rule. “Based on this guidance, Fayetteville Public Schools will ensure this survey is not further disseminated,” Colbert said in response to angry teachers and parents. All upcoming professional development materials, he pledged, would be examined to assure the utmost compliance. Colbert later downplayed the incident, claiming that the teacher survey was only ever used as a tool for introspection and was never actually collected or made mandatory. However, this contradicted what some teachers said were instructed to them in the beginning, regarding the survey. The Fayetteville Public School District declined to give any comments or answer journalist questions.)

— Facing floods, non-white homeowners prepare, protect property – Blaine Friedlander (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many hundreds of hours and the many thousands of dollars that I have had to spend since 1984 to protect my home against storm water damage a) because Wheaton approved a grossly inadequate stormwater drainage plan for my subdivision and b) because Wheaton let the subdivision developer violate many building and construction codes.)
https://phys.org/news/2023-03-non-white-homeowners-property.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In flood-prone areas of New York state, non-white homeowners are more likely than white homeowners to take active, sometimes-costly measures—such as finding a way to protect a furnace, a water heater or installing a sump pump—to prepare for a possible deluge, according to a new Cornell study. White respondents to a survey, the researchers learned, were generally more confident of better outcomes from dire situations and saw the possibility of a flood threat differently. Thus, people who identified as white took more low-cost actions to protect their property from flooding—but tended to stop short of expensive measures. “Most of the time for people who live in flood-prone areas, flooding is not a top-of-the-mind worry,”)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, all of my Democrat superiors and supervisors had children. All of them strongly painted themselves as being severely cash-strapped, education-limited, professional certification/license-limited, and/or career-limited because of their children.

— Parents, kids missing out due to lack of awareness about subsidized child care programs in NYC – Cayla Bamberger (COMMENT: My father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn my parents and my brother and I as being undeservedly filth rich. In my father’s defense, he never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and when my brother and I were younger, he earned far less than that. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Further, because my mother never attended high school, her earning potential was very limited.)

— During 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976, I went on vacations with one of my IRS coworkers to Mexico, Hawaii, Jamacia, and the Bahamas. Of course, my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used that to paint me as being overpaid and promoted too fast. I had gotten promoted a) to GS-9, currently $63,633/year, in 1972, b) to GS-11, currently $76,990/year, in 1973, and c) to GS-12, currently $92,279/year, in 1974. They also stressed that I had a) bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) paid for graduate business and accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul 1972-1980, c) bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and e) bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976.

DAILY HERALD
— JANUARY 18, 2022 FLASHBACK: DuPage County misses deadline to approve new precinct maps – Katlyn Smith (COMMENT: Why isn’t the Daily Herald reporting on what is happening now on this? For example, the Daily Herald could report a) which new proposed redrawn precincts contain two or more current precinct committeemen, b) their names and party affiliations, c) if they are currently serving as a township and/or county party organization officer, and d) what they are going to do if the new proposed precinct lines are not changed. For example, the Daily Herald could ask them a) will they run in 2024 or not run in 2024 no matter what and why and b) will they run only if they can run unopposed and why? I was appointed as a live-in-precinct (LIP) committeeman in 1999, elected in 2000, and then reelected every 2 years since. I have been drawn into the same new proposed precinct with Ives. If the Daily Herald asked me what I am going to do if the new proposed lines are not changed, I would say that if Ives runs, I will not. Ives represents the 3rd Congressional District on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee. Her home is in the middle of the new proposed precinct while my home is on the far western edge. Further, since the 2015 gerrymandering, Ives has represented far more of the Republican voters in the new proposed precinct than I have. She currently represents all those east and south of her home, and before the 2015 gerrymandering, she represented those east of Warrenville Road. Further the Daily Herald could ask about the impact of this precinct redrawing on leadership of the a) the 9 Republican township organizations, b) the 9 Democrat township organizations, c) the Republican county party organization, and the d) Democrat county party organization. To be eligible serve as an officer of the Milton Township Republican Organization, you have to be an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman in Milton Township. With fewer precincts, there will be fewer eligible to serve. A revised map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on April 11, 2023 with a public hearing. That revised map is to be posted on the County Board website for public review and comment. A new map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on May 9, 2023. That map is scheduled to be voted on by the County Board on June 13 or 27, 2023.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220118/dupage-county-misses-deadline-to-approve-new-precinct-maps
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Board members have missed a state-imposed deadline for redrawing election precinct maps. Election officials and county board members are now pointing fingers at each other, with the blown deadline also exposing a rift among Democrats. An elections omnibus bill signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in November gave county boards a 60-day deadline to set new boundaries so that each precinct would contain as close to 1,200 registered voters “as may be practicable.” The legislation also required precincts to sit within a single congressional and state legislative district whenever possible. Precinct boundaries determine polling places where voters cast in-person ballots. Democratic and Republican committeemen, the foot soldiers of local political parties, also are elected from precincts every two years. The DuPage County clerk’s office proposed a reconfiguration that would have expanded the size of precincts while reducing their overall number — from 930 to 607 — to comply with the law. But in a 10-6 vote last week the day before the Jan. 15 deadline, Republicans and some Democrats on the county board rejected the precinct maps drawn by the clerk’s office. Opponents in both parties objected to what they said was a lack of input in the precinct redistricting process. County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek and supporters say the decision could leave the county vulnerable to a lawsuit that would attempt to force the board to meet the requirements of state law. “The decision of some DuPage County Board members of both parties to openly defy state law and prioritize politics over voting rights is deeply disappointing. Precincts exist as an organizational unit for the benefit of the voters, not for politicians,” Kaczmarek, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, said in a statement. Election division employees in her office drafted new precinct boundaries “without political favoritism,” the statement read. The maps were released to county board members just days before they were supposed to vote. The proposed maps also were posted on the county’s website and “provided directly to the chairs of the DuPage County Democratic and Republican parties.” “The county board’s failure to align DuPage County’s election precincts with the boundaries of its representative districts will cause inconvenience and confusion for voters and increase the cost of elections for our taxpayers,” Kaczmarek said in the statement. Jim Zay, the board’s longest-serving member and chairman of the county Republican Party, said he had been asking the election division “from the end of November on” when officials would be able to see the maps. “And then finally, I was told you have to send an email to request to see them,” Zay said. GOP precinct committeemen weren’t happy with the proposal, Zay said. “You had a lot of long-term committeemen that have been there where two or three of them were now drawn into the same precinct,” he said. Lynn LaPlante, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, also expressed frustration with the “lack of communication.” Board member Grant Eckhoff issued his own statement voicing displeasure with both state lawmakers and Kaczmarek, saying officials refused “to be bullied into a bad vote by the garbage legislation coming out of Springfield.” “Due to the state legislature passing legislation to require an amended map in November instead of the spring, the clerk only had 60 days to prepare the map,” said Eckhoff, a Wheaton Republican. “The map was released to the DuPage County Board and the public just five days before a vote was to be taken on the map. “Unfortunately, prior to the release, the clerk did not meet with board members or make a presentation to discuss the map. This is not the manner in which legislation should be presented to the board or the public for review and comment.” But board member Liz Chaplin disputed the notion that some board members were blindsided by the legislation. In an October meeting attended by Republicans and Democrats, the county’s lobbyists told the board’s legislative committee about an effort in Springfield to increase the precinct size from 600 to at least 1,200 residents. “The county board in my opinion dropped the ball, and for the members to say that they didn’t know this was coming, I’m astounded,” Chaplin said. Chaplin voted in support of the maps along with fellow Democrats Dawn DeSart, Paula Deacon Garcia, Julie Renehan, Greg Schwarze and Mary Ozog. As part of the county’s legislative agenda, board members made a priority of “giving local election jurisdictions the flexibility to increase the size of election precincts,” Chaplin said. “In our last two years, in 2020 and 2021, that language was in our legislative agenda,” Chaplin said. “Now, I don’t know if my fellow colleagues don’t read their packets or understand what they’re voting on, but we absolutely did do that.” Having fewer precincts and fewer Election Day polling places would have resulted in a costs savings, said Chaplin, chair of the finance committee. The existing boundaries will now remain in place as other counties move forward with precinct redistricting. Primary elections will be held June 28.)

DUPAGE COUNTY
— Precinct Committeeperson (COMMENT: I should write a book about the 23+ years that I have served as the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Precinct Committeeman. I served as the Assistant Precinct Committeeman in 1998 and 1999. I was appointed as the Live-In-Precinct (LIP) Committeeman in 1999. I was elected Precinct Committeeman in 2000 and every 2 years since. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I served on annual Oktobefest fundraiser committees during the 2000s and ran straw polls during those events. I unsuccessfully ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. I have aways hand-delivered campaign literature and sample ballots to all the Republican homes in my precinct. Up until recently, I always gathered 30 signatures from the Republican voters in my precinct for all the Republican primary candidates. Since 1999, I have had by far the best MTRO meeting attendance record. I would focus on how the MTRO officers have treated me and how they have treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on how they treated my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019.)
https://www.dupagecounty.gov/elections/party_organizations.php
(FROM THE POSTING: The grass roots and foundation of the political parties are its precinct committeepersons. They serve as the foot soldiers to the most fundamental political unit of government, the precinct. The precinct committeeperson helps shape party policy and participates in the selection process of candidates. A precinct committeeperson is elected to a two-year term in the even-year primary elections. Expectations of a precinct committeeperson: Represent the party’s voters at the county central committee convention to elect the county central chairman and its officers. The precinct committeeperson casts a total number of party votes, (weighted vote), as cast in the precinct at the recent primary election. Attend and become involved in the party’s Township meetings. Become a voter registrar and register all qualified constituents. Appoint and fill vacancies of election judges for the precinct polling place. Provide candidate and election information to the voters. Circulate petitions for candidates prior to the primary election. Become familiar with the elected officials and legislatures so the concerns of the voters can be passed on to them. If you are interested in becoming a precinct committeeperson you may contact your party’s township chair listed above.)

This past week, we held our first SCC meeting in 2023.” In my March 6, 2023 GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter, I asked “What is the date of the March 2023 IRP SCC meeting? If it will be in person, where and at what time will it be? If it will be by Zoom, will Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains like me and others be allowed to watch/listen and/or to speak during the public comment period?” Even though I have been an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I never received answers to the aforesaid questions from anyone. Ever-increasingly, the IRP SCC dumps transparency, that is, dumps accountability.)

— Democrats say “Nearly 80,000 federal employees joined unions in a year. A task force led by Kamala Harris seeks to make the government a model employer for rest of the country.” I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years and for IRS for almost 9 years. I should write a book about those who have used that against me the most. During that time, in today’s dollars, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I earned an MBA from Loyola, and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.

HUFFINGTON POST
— JUNE 1, 2013 FLASHBACK: Who Will Lead the Illinois Republican Party (IRP)? (COMMENT: BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF TRANSPARENCY: Dorgan won. I attended the June 1, 2013 IRP State Central Committee (SCC) meeting in Springfield at which each of the eight candidates had five minutes to sell themselves to members of the IRP SCC before it conducted closed door interviews. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-5-morning-edition-2/ and https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/chi-illinois-republican-gop-chairman-jack-dorgan-story.html and https://capitolfax.com/2013/05/ )
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/who-will-lead-the-illinoi_b_3536708
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the eight prospective candidates are three of the central committee’s own: Jack Dorgan of Rosemont, Chicago native Angel Garcia and Lake Forest attorney Mark Shaw. Other suitors include Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, Tea Party darling Joe Walsh, suburban conservative Jim Nalepa, former Illinois Lieutenant Governor hopeful Don Tracy and Chicago-based attorney Lori Yokoyama.)

WIKIPEDIA

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What if Democrat leaders in Illinois were like Republican leaders in Illinois? What if Democrat leaders in Illinois demonized, denigrated, and condemned liberal Democrats like Republican leaders in Illinois demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservative Republicans? What if Democrat leaders in Illinois demonized, denigrated, and condemned their liberal Democrat activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders like Republican leaders in Illinois demonize, denigrate, and condemn their conservative Republican activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders? I should write a book about that. I would focus on those Republican leaders in Illinois since 2000 who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against conservative Republican activists, precinct committeemen/captains, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders. – Dave Diersen

24/7 WALL STREET
— How Much Members of the US Military Are Paid at Every Pay Grade – Maria Wood (COMMENT: DeSantis made the Navy rank of Lieutenant Commander when he was 28 in 2006. The equivalent civilian GS grade is 12. I made GS-12 in 1974 (currently $92,279/year) when I was a 25-year-old IRS Revenue Officer. I made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986 when I was a 38-year-old GAO Analyst. The equivalent Navy rank is Commander. (SEE: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/c/comparison-of-military-and-civilian-equivalent-grades.html ) My ending GAO salary was $142,650/year (GS-13 Step 10) in today’s dollars. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are failures if they do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 (currently $129,671/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $183,500/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. How soon, if not already, will DeSantis’ critics/opponents paint his military career as being a failure, and therefore, that he is a failure? Since 1973 when I turned 25 years old, because I failed to make GS-13, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a failure. Further, according to them, IRS should not have promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, or to GS-12 in 1974 and GAO should not have promoted me to GS-13 in 1986.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Are you a registered Republican voter in DuPage County? If so, who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman? Is he/she elected or an appointed live-in-precinct (LIP) Committeeman? You should ask him/her if the proposed DuPage County Election Division precinct map puts them in the same precinct with one or more other Republican elected or LIP Precinct Committeeman.

By now, elected and LIP DuPage County Republican Precinct Committeemen should have received the proposed precinct map for their township. I have received the proposed Milton Township precinct map. It combines the township’s 130 current precincts into 83 new precincts. As I anticipated, it draws me into the same precinct with Ives like what happened in 2015.

For the new proposed Precinct 9, the north border remains Roosevelt Road, the west border remains the Illinois Prairie Path, the south border is Fairway Lane, and the east border is Naperville Road. All of the expansion comes out of Ives’ Precinct 65.

Of course, one could argue that when two elected or LIP committeemen are drawn into the same precinct, the reason is to get rid of one of them.

My current thinking is that if Ives runs, the precinct is hers; but if she does not run, I will run again.

My current thinking is to try to get the lines for my precinct to be redrawn so that all the expansion is to the west. But I am not optimistic. Things have only gotten worse for me since 2015. Because of that, I do not anticipate that anyone will support my request that the proposed lines for my precinct be redrawn so that all expansion is to the west.

In the 2015 redrawing, Ives was subsequently carved out so we did not have to run against each other, but I lost about 250 voters on the west side of the Prairie Path and I gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road in Ives’ old precinct. Since at least 1999 and through 2015, my precinct lines were unchanged and the precinct had about 500 registered voters. But in 2015, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the Milton Township Republican Organization and the DuPage County Republican Central Committee falsely told me that precinct border changes that year would only impact precincts that had more than 1,000 registered voters, and that merely, those precincts would be split.

On Tuesday, the DuPage County Finance Committee received a “Draft DuPage County Precinct Map.” To meet the new 1,200 registered voters per precinct state requirement, many committeemen will have to be drawn into a new precinct with each other. Further, larger precincts necessarily mean that more precincts will contain more government districts. My current precinct and the proposed precinct outrageously include voters in three (west, east, and south) of Wheaton’s four districts. If my precinct was extended to the west, that could have been avoided.

I have asked the DuPage County Election Division to provide me with a detailed version of the Milton Township portion of its proposed precinct map. I have asked that it show where the Republican elected and LIP committeemen live. I am told that an attorney who will verify that the maps comply with state law has not yet been selected.

A revised map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on April 11, 2023 with a public hearing. That revised map is to be posted on the County Board website for public review and comment. A new map is scheduled to be presented to the finance committee on May 9, 2023. That map is scheduled to be voted on by the County Board on June 13 or 27, 2023. – Dave Diersen

MSNBC
— Democrats ever-increasingly use White supremacists and their victims to promote hatred against Republicans. But far worse, Democrats ever-increasingly call Republicans White supremacists. To call someone a White supremacist in America today is like calling someone a Jew in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. That is forcing more and more and more Republicans to buy firearm and ammunition for their self-defense.

— Democrats say “Fox News lobs some softballs to DeSantis.” I should write a book about the softball question that I asked Romney in my role as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor at a press conference in the Loop in 2007. I would focus on those Romney supporters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that my one softball question caused Romney a) to withdraw from the 2008 Republican presidential primary and b) to lose the 2012 presidential election.

TAMPA BAY TIMES
— Democrats say “DeSantis roundtable hammers diversity programs at Florida universities. Led by the governor, members of the panel say the programs lower standards and devalue merit.” Because I am a White male, and further, because I am non-veteran, Protestant, and 100% German American, if there had been more pressure to admit minorities and females in the past, a) UIC would not have admitted me in 1966, b) NIU in 1969, c) Loyola in 1972, d) DePaul in 1976, and e) IIT in 1992. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and my ACT score was only 24.

FLORIDA PHOENIX
— Democrats say “GOP lawmakers plan to ban more college majors in FL like ethnic studies, ‘radical’ feminist theory.” What was/were your college major/majors? Personnel management was my major for my 1970 NIU bachelor’s degree and for my 1976 Loyola MBA, accounting for my 1980 DePaul master’s degrees, and financial markets and trading for my 1997 IIT master’s degree. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, accounting would have my NIU and Loyola majors. Financial markets and trading was my IIT major solely because my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators starting in 1990.

Neither of my outstanding parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School (CMHS) class and my ACT score was only 24. I knew that because of the aforesaid, because of my parents’ limited income, because of my bad demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844), and because of my health problems (I could not run because I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease ), my vision could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red-green color blindness), to earn a college degree, I would have to commute to college classes from my parents’ home in Crete and I would have to work my way through college. To be able to take classes at UIC instead of at Prairie State College ( https://prairiestate.edu/ ), I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years and the summer in between and I used the money that I earned to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from jobs and classes at UIC. While I was a freshman and sophomore at CMHS, my plan was to enlist and use the G.I. Bill to get a college degree. But one of my CMHS classmates stressed that I was in the upper 20% of our class and that my having an ACT score of 24, and he encouraged me to reconsider.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Envy (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the most success in making their operatives and their dupes envious of me. Overwhelmingly, their operatives and their dupes have financial, marital, health, and/or other problems. My critics/opponents stress to them a) my 45-year marriage, b) my Civil Service Retirement System pension since 1997, c) my and my wife’s 72% federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies since 1997, d) my wife’s Social Security, e) our retirement savings, f) our lack of debts, g) our home, h) our Iron Gate Motor Condo, i) our eight vehicles, j) my relative good health, k) my three master’s degrees, l) my six professional certifications, m) my professional license, o) etc. But their stressing the aforesaid frustrates their efforts to demonize, denigrate, and condemn me as being an abject failure. So they falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I have the aforesaid because my parents were filthy rich, because I avoided the draft, because the federal government grossly overpaid me, because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, because we did not become foster parents, and because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities, against females, against younger people, against veterans, against non-Protestants, against non-German Americans, and/or against those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. And if all of the aforesaid is not enough, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I got all my successes in life by being a “bad person.” Again, I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the most success in making their operatives and their dupes envious of me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, in DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who I have sued. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I had to report to them annually a) the source of my outside income (Firestone Stores in 1971 and 1972) and b) the source of my wife’s income. Because they always had full access to my federal income tax returns, they knew what the amounts were. Again, he who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one pays me for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. My income is my Civil Service Retirement System pension and my Social Security.

— Democrats say “Illinois Promoting New Initiative To Address Teacher Shortage.” The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who would take the jobs. They were so desperate that they hired me even those I was non-veteran, conservative, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a 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. They wrongly anticipated that with enough pressure, I would become a Democrat. They wrongly gave too much weight to the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that my mother never attended high school, d) that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, and e) that the adverse actions that they started taking against me in 1968 would work.

My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Bad blood between Trump, Fox News colors 2024 presidential race – Seth McLaughlin (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Sooner or later, if not already, my critics/opponents will officially charge me with unethically using my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to tip the 2024 Republican Illinois presidential primary scales a) to Trump, b) to DeSantis, and/or c) to other Republican presidential candidates. Who will come to my defense? So far, no one has publicly complained about those who almost succeeded in stopping me from getting press credentials to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. Expect that those who support those primary candidates who lose will charge me with unethically promoting other candidates. They did that big time for the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Bill Brady supporters blamed me big time for Brady’s defeat. They almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 annual convention in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall. To this day, Jim Ryan supporters blame me big time for Ryan’s losing to Blagojevich in 2002. Democrats always do everything that they can to assure that those candidates who win Republican primaries are the ones who Democrats believe are the easiest to defeat in general elections.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Knowing who you’re selling to is just as important as knowing what it is that you’re selling.
