CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump offers $50,000 bonuses to hire thousands for ICE push. $50,000 is a lot of money. When I was 22 years old in 1971, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $55,858/year. To get hired, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn ICE, and therefore, they ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn ICE employees. My father never made more than $50k/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. He was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never attended college because his doctors told him that the stress would kill him.

ILLINOIS REVIEW

— Kathy Salvi to Resign as State Party Chair — Proof IL GOP Isn’t Dying, It’s Dead. DIERSEN: Leading a political organization is a thankless job. I served as an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) 2003-2007 and as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed ICRC and TAPROOT for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes not only end my aforesaid roles, they destroyed the aforesaid organizations. I should write about my critics/opponents. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. They have always been Democrat plants who have always done everything they could to destroy Republicans, and sooner or later, they will proudly proclaim that.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/08/sources-kathy-salvi-to-resign-as-state-party-chair-proof-il-gop-isnt-dying-its-dead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party continues its spectacular freefall into irrelevance, struggling with internal divisions, dwindling support and an increasingly uncertain future. Now, multiple sources have confirmed to this publication that Illinois GOP Chairwoman Kathy Salvi – after just one year in the role – plans to step down this summer, following the State Fair. Salvi, who previously lost a congressional race in 2006 and a U.S. Senate bid in 2022, took over the embattled state party last July after then-chairman Don Tracy – known for his deep Democratic ties and opposition to Trump – resigned, citing the rise of a powerful grassroots movement in his resignation letter. Since taking over, the state party chairwoman has been largely ineffective, leading a GOP that remains dysfunctional and often undermines its own base by targeting conservative, Trump-supporting candidates with vicious mailers and negative ads during primary elections. In seven months, Salvi has overseen only one meeting of the state central committee, the GOP’s governing board. Top IL GOP donors have also chosen to sit out this upcoming primary election. Amid a vacuum of leadership, direction, infrastructure and fundraising capacity – major donors increasingly view Illinois Republican candidates as a risky – and ultimately unrewarding investment. Without the support of major donors, the Illinois GOP faces a daunting path forward. The party’s internal divisions and lack of clear leadership have eroded confidence among those who traditionally fuel campaigns, leaving Republicans severely outmatched in both resources and organization. In January, a retiring state senator endorsed Salvi’s son – a political unknown – to succeed him in the state legislature, sparking accusations of nepotism and favoritism. Sources confirmed to this publication that the state party chairwoman had been lobbying behind the scenes to secure the appointment for her son. The Salvi family has been involved in Illinois Republican politics for decades. Her husband, Al, an attorney, has run unsuccessfully for office three times – losing a congressional race in 1986, a U.S. Senate race in 1996, and a bid for Illinois Secretary of State in 1998. As the midterm elections draw near, Democrats are poised to maintain control of every statewide office and preserve their supermajority in the legislature. For Republicans, this election season underscores a hard truth: they’re not just losing elections – they’re losing structure. There’s no head coach, no assistant coaches – just a political free-for-all. Unless the state GOP unites behind the grassroots, rebuilds its infrastructure, and offers a compelling vision, it risks remaining sidelined in Illinois politics for decades. No names have emerged as Salvi’s successor – which comes as no surprise. Few want to take the helm of a struggling party lacking infrastructure, fundraising or a clear path forward.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/documents/ That article made me very well-known to the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO. They used everything in that article against me that they could. They used the article mainly to paint me as being a grossly overpaid draft avoider. That helped them force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

My Democrat IRS superiors would not have a) never promoted me beyond GS-12 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978 and my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would not have a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

When I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer position in 2004, I stressed my experience. At that time, I was serving as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer. I had served as the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Treasurer for 3 years. I was a licensed CPA. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had a master’s degree in accounting. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years. But my opponent had his operatives and his dupes demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me. He got 69 votes and I got only 13. He blamed me big time for George Ryan’s problems and for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. I should write about the aforesaid.

When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. GAO audits IRS. They had unofficially thrown me off audits of IRS before I was 40 in 1988 because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions, had never promoted me beyond GS-13, and had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/01/ice-hiring-tentative-job-offers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Many of these offers were to ICE officers who retired under President Biden because they were frustrated that they were not allowed to do their jobs,” she said. “Now under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is excited to get back to work to remove rapists, murderers, gang members and pedophiles from our communities.”)

In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Plaintiff optimistic, DOJ interested in case against Illinois elections board
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_748c769f-a4b8-463a-b8a1-873b7c66c20a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A legal case is moving forward against the Illinois State Board of Elections over allegations that the state failed to maintain voter registration lists. Former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the National Voter Registration Act requires the state to perform list maintenance and remove ineligible voters. U.S. District Court Judge Sara L. Ellis dismissed two plaintiffs from the case last week, but Ives’ group, Breakthrough Ideas, was not dismissed and retains standing as a plaintiff along with Illinois Family Action. The groups filed suit with Judicial Watch attorneys in March of 2024. Ives said it’s obvious that voter lists are not well-maintained in Illinois. “This creates extra costs people should not have to incur and it wastes time as well, not to mention it invites fraud when you do not have cleaned-up voter lists,” Ives told The Center Square. Ives said the dead have voted in Illinois. “I’ve pointed out a couple of dead people that I know casted votes, and there was no adequate explanation for why that occurred. Because they were not cleaned off the voter roll, it invited fraud one way or another. In the state of Illinois, this becomes even more problematic when you have permanent vote by mail,” Ives explained. “So you will have ballots being sent to people that are possibly moved or dead, which makes list maintenance even more important in the state of Illinois.” Ives said 23 Illinois counties with a combined registration list of 980,089 voters reported removing only 100 registrations over a two-year period. “That is an absurdly small number. There is no possible way those counties were conducting a general program that makes an effort to clean up the voter rolls, because only a hundred people died in 23 counties? Nobody believes that, so we know that they’re not doing what they should do,” Ives said. On July 8, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a 15-page statement of interest in the case. “When Illinois voters cast their ballots, they should be confident that their vote is given its due weight, undiluted by ineligible voters,” the statement began. “It is critical to remove ineligible voters from the registration rolls so that elections are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in a press release regarding the statement of interest. “Under the NVRA, states have the responsibility to conduct a robust program of list maintenance. The Department of Justice will vigorously enforce those requirements to ensure compliance.” Ives said the case could have ramifications across the country. She said it is possible that the DOJ will file its own lawsuit. As for what’s next, Ives said parties were waiting for a written ruling and it’s possible there could be a hearing later this month. Ives said she suspects there could be a settlement in the case.)

— Kane County Auditor Penny Wegman announces bid for treasurer. Incumbent GOP Treasurer Lauzen hasn’t said if he’ll run again.
https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2025/07/31/kane-county-auditor-penny-wegman-announces-bid-for-treasurer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County Auditor Penny Wegman on Wednesday officially announced her candidacy for county treasurer. Wegman, a Democrat, was elected to her second term as auditor last year. She will seek her party’s nomination in the March 17 primary election. If she wins the primary, she will be on the Nov. 5, 2026 general election ballot. In a news release Wednesday, Wegman pledged “to bring her proven record of fiscal responsibility, transparency and innovation to the treasurer’s office.” “As your county auditor, I’ve worked every day to make government more transparent, efficient, and accountable to taxpayers,” Wegman stated in the release. “Now, I’m ready to bring that same commitment to the treasurer’s office – to continue protecting taxpayer dollars and strengthening public trust in our financial institutions.” The current treasurer is Chris Lauzen, a Republican and former state senator and former county board chairman. He has not announced whether he would seek another term. Since taking office as auditor, Wegman said she led on several key initiatives that improved the county’s financial operations and public accountability. These include: Increasing transparency through a more accessible, online county checkbook, giving taxpayers real-time insight into county spending; Creating a successful internship program, providing hands-on government experience to local students and cultivating the next generation of public servants; Identifying and helping close policy gaps, collaborating with the county board to strengthen financial procedures and internal controls; Increasing county revenue by competitively bidding the purchase card vendor, securing better returns for Kane County taxpayers. “These are not just ideas – they are results, ” Wegman said in the release. “As treasurer, I will carry forward this momentum to modernize operations, safeguard county funds, and ensure Kane County residents get the transparency and service they deserve,” Wegman stated in the release. With her background in auditing, financial oversight and public service, Wegman stated in the release that she is “uniquely prepared to transition seamlessly into the treasurer’s role and immediately build upon the office’s core responsibilities: receiving, investing, and safeguarding the county’s funds.” Last year, Wegman received the Innovator Award from the International Association of Government Officials at its annual conference in New Orleans. The award was in recognition of Wegman’s work with the county’s procurement card program, which are known as p-cards and are county credit cards issued to department heads. Her campaign for treasurer will formally launch with a fundraiser on Aug. 28, at The Office, 201 E Main St., St. Charles. The public is invited to attend and learn more about Wegman’s vision for the treasurer’s office. In May, Candida “Connie” Cain announced she left the Kane County GOP to run for treasurer as a Democrat.)

GOVENMENT EXECUTIVE
— APRIL 27, 2007 FLASHBACK: GAO settles pay dispute with 12 of 308 (Band II) senior analysts. Counsel finds data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were flawed. My Democrat GAO superiors used their flawed performance evaluations to a) delay my promotions, b) never promote me beyond GS-13 (Band II), c) keep me off audits of IRS, d) always rank in bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.
https://www.govexec.com/management/2007/04/gao-settles-pay-dispute-with-12-of-308-senior-analysts/24307/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office has reached settlements with 12 of 308 employees denied pay increases last year. The 12 employees were offered promotions, back pay and associated benefits as if they had been promoted as of Jan. 8, 2006, several sources confirmed Thursday. The case goes back to June 2005, when GAO issued a plan for splitting one of its pay bands — Band II — into Band IIA and Band IIB. Employees placed in Band IIA were not granted pay increases, while employees placed in Band IIB got raises. Employees were required to earn a “meets expectations” on their performance appraisal to be eligible for Band IIB placement. GAO issued its final placement decisions in December 2005, and gave employees with Band IIA placement 30 days to appeal to the agency’s Office of Opportunities and Inclusiveness or its Personnel Appeals Board, one source said. “Each one of the 12 marched over to the appeals board as an act of personal courage and chose to run the risk of retaliation,” the source said. Several sources said there was little or no justification for the employees’ placement in the lower pay band. The appeals board’s general counsel, which represented the 12 employees, found that the data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were unreliable and included significant flaws and inconsistencies. Several GAO employees and other sources, who spoke under condition of anonymity, questioned why the watchdog agency – which has insisted the pay determinations were justified – decided to settle with the 12 employees. The 12 employees are prohibited to speak to anyone about the details of the settlement unless asked as part of a congressional inquiry, one source said, adding that Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., has already asked the employees about the settlements.)

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Danny+Davis%
(FROIM THE ARTICLE: He has a history of working with the GAO, particularly on issues related to federal workforce management and oversight. . .One specific area of interest for Davis and the GAO has been the federal workforce, including pay systems and diversity within senior executive ranks. Specific Examples: A 2003 GAO report was developed at his request to explore safeguards for Congress to consider related to pay. In 2008, there were discussions about a measure he planned to introduce to grant retroactive pay to certain GAO employees. He has also been involved in addressing pay disputes within the GAO.)

The Democrats who ran GAO were beyond furious about that. They took their anger against Gingrich out against me, one of the few remaining Republican employees in the agency.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
— Merit Hiring Plan. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. 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, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and they got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat.
https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2025-05/Merit%20Hiring%20Plan%205-29-2025.pdf
(FROM THE MEMORANDUM: The American people deserve a Federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, Federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex Federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory “equity” quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled bureaucrats. The American people, who deserve a government that works for them, have suffered. In his January 20, 2025 Executive Order 14170, Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) President Trump directed that “recruitment and hiring processes” become “more efficient and focused on serving the Nation” and that hiring be based on “merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution.” These changes will “ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attract the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively.” President Trump directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to “develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly capable Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.” President Trump stated that this Merit Hiring Plan must achieve seven goals: 1. Prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; 2. Prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch; . . . Finally, the Merit Hiring Plan must provide specific best practices for the human resources (HR) function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement. These HR best practices are included as Appendix 1.2 The key elements of the following Merit Hiring Plan are: 1. Reforming the Federal recruitment process to ensure that only the most talented, capable and patriotic Americans are hired to the Federal service; 2. Implementing skills-based hiring, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements, and requiring the use of rigorous, job-related assessments to ensure candidates are selected based on their merit and competence, not their skin color or academic pedigree;)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Don Tracy considers governor bid
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/29/don-tracy-considers-governor-bid-00480953
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2026 INTRIGUE: A familiar Republican name is eyeing the 2026 governor’s race. Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, confirmed to Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore that he is actively considering a bid for the state’s top job. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” Tracy told Moore, noting he’s been “making some calls” and that “several people” have urged him to throw his hat into the ring. The potential candidacy comes at a time when the Illinois GOP is in a prolonged wilderness stretch, failing to win a statewide race in nearly a decade. Tracy may be the Republican to change that. He’s a Springfield attorney and businessman with ties to the party’s donor class. And though he stepped down as chair last year, Tracy’s name still carries weight in Republican circles. It wouldn’t be easy. Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire with virtually unlimited resources and a finely tuned political operation, announced in June that he will seek a third term. The governor has already signaled an aggressive campaign that focuses on attacking extremism. . .State Sen. Sue Rezin, who serves as deputy Republican leader, is returning to the trail. “After a lot of thought and discussions, I have decided to run for reelection to protect taxpayers’ pocketbooks, strengthen public safety and keep and grow good-paying jobs right here at home in the 38th Senate District,” she said in a statement. Rezin has been serving in the General Assembly since 2010.)

SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGY
— A meritocratic society allows those from lower socioeconomic status to aspire to a higher social class, status, and place in the hierarchy. Meritocracy enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license even though a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d)my mother never attended high school, and e) I had to work my way through college. My critics/opponents vehemently disagree. According to them, I was able to accomplish the aforesaid because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus those whose parents had lots of money.

— See the articles below concerning Trump making Matthew Lohmeier an Air Force Under Secretary. Like Lohmeie, I fought Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI in the federal government. Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used AA and DEI to make the federal government a hostile work environment for Republicans, to waste the careers of Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. If Republican Presidents, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Representatives had stopped AA and DEI in the federal government, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Further, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions, and c) disallow my travel vouchers.

— Virtually all, if not all, GAO employees are Democrats. GAO falsely claims to be non-partisan. I should write a book about that. I would use how the Democrats who run GAO treated me as an example. If I had been a Democrat, they would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have kept me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would not have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. They would not have wasted what I learned earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. They would not have wasted what I learned earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. They would not have wasted what I learned to become a licensed CPA.

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, when Whites, males, older people, Protestants, and German Americans do better than minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans, it is because they benefit from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly use the aforesaid argument to give more and more and more preference to minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans. America’s enemies do not want America to be led by Whites, males, older people, Protestants, or German Americans.
