— H-1B Uproar Obscures Vast Workforce of Other White-Collar Migrants (COMMENT: Employers want cheap labor. Citizens of foreign countries are easier to exploit than citizens of America. If they could have, all my employers would have hired citizens of foreign countries instead of me.)
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/12/28/h-1b-uproar-obscures-vast-workforce-other-white-collar-migrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The heated debate over H-1B visa workers obscures the far greater inflows of other foreign workers into the white-collar jobs needed by American college graduates. The federal government issues about 130,000 new H-1B visas each year — plus another 650,000 visas or work permits to other white-collar migrants each year. Many of these non-immigrant workers are allowed to stay for five, six, or seven years. The multi-year visas create a resident population of at least 1.5 million white-collar workers. That growing population is almost twenty times larger than the H-1B program’s inflow of 85,000 new foreign workers every year that the media is focusing on. “For decades, this has been out of control,” said Kevin Lynn, the founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which campaigns against the visa worker programs. The huge giveaway annually delivers roughly two foreign workers for every American who graduates from a four-year college with a skilled degree in science, software, computers, business, healthcare, or engineering. The programs also deliver two foreign workers into the career-starting jobs needed by every young American who graduates with a four-year degree in “STEM,” or science, technology, engineering, and math. The migrants are not legal immigrants. They are government-approved contract workers or just-graduated foreign students, and their vulnerable legal status allows employers to treat them badly and undercut pay for American graduates. “There are about a million work-visa issuances a year … it’s gone up about 25 percent in recent years,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies. The programs’ complexity and lack of transparency are intended to help employers smuggle more white-collar workers into American jobs, Vaughan said. President Joe Biden’s deputies are trying to raise the visa-worker inflow. . .The federal government allows employers to import roughly 450,000 visa workers for the blue-collar H-2A and H-2B workers, and perhaps 150,000 pink-collar visa workers via the J-1 program. But the white-collar inflow is larger. The H-1B program is getting much attention, partly because Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and other West Coast investors triggered a heated Twitter debate with President Donald Trump’s voter base. But the H-1B program is just one of many government pipelines that deliver foreign college graduates into the valuable U.S. careers needed by the American middle class. Each year, the H-1B program delivers roughly 130,000 new workers, including 85,000 workers for private companies. They can stay for six years or longer. “The resident population of people with H-1Bs is [roughly] 600,000,” Vaughan told Breitbart News. There is no requirement to offer the H-1B jobs to Americans. Also, there is no limit on the inflow of H-1B workers for non-profits. That loophole has created a new style of non-profit staffing organization that transfers college graduates into private sector jobs. More than half of the H-1Bs are from India, where the government pressures American companies to hire Indian graduates, even though they are rooted in a culture where workplace corruption and bribes are common. Deputies working for President Barack Obama also allowed the spouses of H-1Bs to get work permits, dubbed H4EADs. Many now work in jobs alongside their spouses, adding at least 100,000 more white-collar visa workers to the U.S. labor market. The little-known L-1 visa program allows foreign companies to move their employees into the United States for five to 7 years. In 2022, the Department of State approved 73,000 new L-1s, so the resident white-collar L-1 population is roughly 200,000 white-collar workers. The spouses of L-1 workers are also allowed to work, adding another 40,000 workers to the workforce, according to a 2017 report by the left-wing Economic Policy Institute. Many of the H-1B and L-1 workers are allowed to stay past their visa expiry date if their employers offer them the deferred bonus of a government-provided green card. This bonus has created a population of roughly 600,000 Indian workers who are working while waiting for a green card. This population includes many L-1s and H-1Bs, complicating the population count. The State Department’s J-1 program delivers about 90,000 white-collar workers via multiple categories, such as “short-term scholars, “research scholars,” and professors, who are allowed to stay up to five or even seven years. Government agencies do not reveal the resident population of J-1s, but 300,000 white-collar employees is a reasonable estimate. The 0-1A so-called “genius visa” program is now delivering at least 9,000 white-collar workers per year, up from 6,500 in 2019. This program is uncapped, like the L-1, TN, and H-1B programs. This visa lasts for three years, so the resident 0-1A population is roughly 25,000. The TN program allows professionals and recent graduates in Canada and Mexico to get jobs in the United States via the TN visa created by trade treaties. Government officials have said they do not count TN migrants entering the United States from Canada. Vaughan said she estimates the resident TN population to be roughly 120,000 foreign graduates. The OPT and CPT programs were created for foreign students at American universities. These programs deliver the most new workers each year — but they can only stay for one or three years. Almost 340,000 students and graduates got work permits in 2023, suggesting the resident population is roughly 400,000, most of whom work in technology-related jobs. The OPT — Optional Practical Training — and the CPT — Curricular Practical Training — programs were not created by Congress but by officials working for President George W. Bush. The CPT and OPT programs are touted as study programs, but the OPT program is a pipeline for foreigners to get green cards via employers and the H-1B program. These pipelines often run through ethnic hiring networks at Fortune 500 companies or their vast network of “software sweatshops” that implement outsourcing policies at nearly all major U.S. companies. Many of the OPT and CPT workers fail to get into the H-1B programs and so join the growing population of “overstay” illegal white-collar migrants, many of whom work alongside their legal compatriots as software subcontractors. This illegal white-collar foreign workforce is also boosted by a growing population of airport migrants. They legally enter the country as tourists or “business visitors,” dubbed B-1/B-2 visas. But they illegally work as freelancers and contractors, usually within ethnic networks of legal migrants. The federal government has done little to suppress or count this population. There has been no cap on the number of white-collar illegal migrants during Biden’s administration, in part because his pro-migration border chief — Alejandro Mayorkas — enforced a policy of no arrests for migrants who were not found guilty of major crimes. In addition, Mayorkas has imported roughly one million migrants through his quasi-legal “parole pipelines.” This inflow includes many white-collar workers — but their unrecognized credentials exclude them from licensed professions. Vaughan suggested these various pipelines have delivered 3 million illegal white-collar workers into the U.S. labor force, alongside the legal population of 1.5 million visa workers. Lynn estimated the illegal white-collar population at roughly 1.5 million, alongside 1.5 million legal migrants. In December, Mayrokas announced he would loosen the J-1 program to help migrants from China and India stay in J-1 white-collar jobs for longer than two years. Mayorkas’ deputies also announced changes to the H-1B program to help American companies import more white-collar workers. The new rules allow more companies to be treated as non-profits so they can import an unlimited number of “cap-exempt” H-1B workers for jobs that are sought by Americans. The rule states: . . . Meanwhile, huge numbers of American professionals are being laid off, according to a December report by Forbes.)

FOX BUSINESS
— Musk inflames X with profane movie quote in defense of H-1B visa. Musk invoked the satirical action-comedy movie ‘Tropic Thunder’ in defending the visa program.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/fox-news-politics/musk-inflames-x-profane-movie-quote-defense-h-1b-visa
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The internal rift inside the MAGA movement over the H-1B visa continues to play out on X with Elon Musk attacking a critic of the program on Friday using a profane quote from Tom Cruise’s character in the movie “Tropic Thunder.” Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have been tapped by President-elect Trump to lead his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), argued earlier this week that American culture has not prioritized education enough and therefore foreign workers are needed for tech companies like Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla. Many tech companies have embraced the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, but critics of the program say H-1B holders are often chosen over U.S. citizens for jobs. One of the reasons for this is that foreign workers are tied to their respective employers via the H-1B visa – as a company is required to sponsor the visa — and therefore quitting the job could ultimately see foreign workers losing their visa and their ability to legally remain in the country. On Friday, Musk doubled down on his defense of the program, blasting a user on X who used a video of Musk discussing SpaceX processes to go after the billionaire’s stance on the visa program. “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B,” Musk wrote on X. He then went on to quote the 2008 action-comedy movie, which was a box office hit. “Take a big step back and F— YOURSELF in the face,” Musk railed. The line, although not verbatim, comes from a scene from the movie where Tom Cruise’s character Les Grossman, a balding, profane-laden and ill-tempered studio executive, roars down the phone at a group of kidnappers in a memorable scene. Grossman then goes on to threaten the kidnappers, saying that he will go “scorched earth” and “massacre” them. The outburst leaves the kidnappers and Matthew McConaughey, who plays Rick “The Pecker” Peck, stunned into silence. The movie also stars Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black and Nick Nolte. Musk also invokes Grossman’s combative stance with the X user, finishing off his late Friday post by writing: “I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.” Musk then went on to interact with other commentators on the topic, saying he agreed with one poster who wrote that the visa program needs reform and that Musk “protects meritocracy and the American Dream for tech innovators at all costs.” Elsewhere, Musk agreed to a separate post that stated that Google, Intel and Tesla were all founded or built by immigrants and that H-1B visa employees are effectively capped at 15% for big tech companies. The post noted that a third of positions in the sector go unfulfilled each year and that foreign workers are needed in the short term to make up the shortfall. On Christmas Day, Musk wrote that he and his companies would prefer to hire Americans – and that it is much easier than going through the “incredibly painful and slow work visa process.” “HOWEVER, there is a dire shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers in America. This is not about handing out opportunities from some magical hat. You don’t get it. This is blindingly obvious when looking at NBA teams, as the physical differences are so obvious to see,” Musk wrote. “However, the MENTAL differences between humans are FAR bigger than the physical differences!!” He also wrote that employing immigrants is essential to future American ingenuity. “It comes down to this: do you want America to WIN or do you want America to LOSE,” he wrote. “If you force the world’s best talent to play for the other side, America will LOSE. End of story.” It’s not the first time Musk has invoked Tropic Thunder online. In August, he unleashed the same line on Thierry Breton, a French business executive and former European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services who threatened to censor X.)

— The H-1B Visa Program and Its Impact on the U.S. Economy (COMMENT: What percent of H-1B recipients are non-White?)
https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/h1b-visa-program-fact-sheet
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before an employer can file a petition with USCIS, the employer must take steps to ensure that hiring the foreign worker will not harm U.S. workers. Employers first must attest, on a labor condition application (LCA) certified by the Department of Labor (DOL), that employment of the H-1B worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. Employers must also provide existing workers with notice of their intention to hire an H-1B worker.)

— There is no such thing as nonpartisan. In the final analysis, all individuals, all companies, all organizations, all etc. in America are either Democrat or Republican, that is, they are either liberal or conservative. The mainstream news media falsely claims to be nonpartisan. The mainstream news media is Democrat, that is, the mainstream news media is liberal. Because I refuse to falsely claim to be nonpartisan like the mainstream news media does, my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that I am not a legitimate reporter or journalist.

— Politics is nasty/vicious. George Ryan ran Corinne Wood in the 2002 Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary to defeat Pat O’Malley and to elect Jim Ryan. I supported O’Malley in that primary.

Ever since then, George Ryan and Jim Ryan supporters in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have done everything that they could to destroy me. They ignored/dismissed/belittled what I did to help Jim Ryan win the general election. I should write about them and what they continue to do to destroy me. – Dave Diersen

They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. In my defense, I stressed the many professional codes of conduct I was under because I was a CPA, Certified Internal Auditor, Licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. Of course, I should not have been and I was not assigned to audits of my IRS superiors who had taken adverse actions against me.)

— When Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct lose elections, who do you blame? I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. It is a thankless job. My critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. They do not blame those candidates or the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). They have punished me by a) removing me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my membership on the Wheaton City Council Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ending my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my service on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004, k) etc.)

— Similarities between Reagan, Trump electoral victories (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for 8 years while Reagan was President. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in January of 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that Reagan was elected. I was one of an extremely few Republicans in the office and they took their anger against Reagan out on me. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They delayed my promotions, did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986, and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS until 1986 and then after 1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. To deal with the aforesaid punishment, a) I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1990, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Trump wants to achieve his goals of lowering the cost of living, and ensuring that Americans have stable and good-paying jobs, expanding the H-1B visa program and other legal immigration pathways is not the way to do it. To begin with, H1-B visas have been grossly abused by companies eager to hire foreigners over American citizens. These visas are given out on a lottery basis every year to a maximum of 85,000 foreigners, out of hundreds of thousands of applicants. But in an attempt to game the odds, companies often submit multiple (and thus fraudulent) applications for the same individual to boost their chances of being selected.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE IN NAPERVILLE SUN: After decades of red, 2024 election shows DuPage County now ‘reliably blue’ (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I have been deeply involved with Republican politics in DuPage County since 2000. At least since 2000, leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) have rejected some, many, most, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Yes, Democrats have ever-increasing invaded the county. But DCRCC leaders have ever-increasingly become more Democrat Lite, more RINO, more anti-conservative, more anti-Trump, and more anti-Republican. They boycotted the Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Collinsville this year and removed me from its Platform and Resolutions Committee. I should write about those past and present DCRCC leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/17/dupage-county-naperville-2024-election-democrat-republican-illinois-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this month, 11 elected officials were sworn into DuPage County offices. Of those, nine were Democrats. In the wake of November’s general election, DuPage County — once a Republican stronghold — seems to have definitively shifted left, experts and observers say. “I think we have strong evidence suggesting that we can now say DuPage is reliably blue,” said Melissa Mouritsen, a political science professor at College of DuPage. From federal races to county contests, the 2024 election saw the Democratic Party come out strong across DuPage. Voters favored the Democratic candidates in four of five congressional races that reached into the county. Democrats also captured a larger share of the county’s vote in three of four state senator races and 12 of 16 state representative races. County-wide, three-term DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen was unseated by Democratic challenger Judith Lukas. Democratic incumbents prevailed in their reelection bids for circuit clerk and auditor while the Democratic candidate clinched a win in the race for recorder. On the DuPage County Board, a Democratic challenger unseated her Republican predecessor, while other Democratic incumbents held onto their seats, leaving the body with 12 Democrats, six Republicans and a Democratic chair. Eighteen years ago, not one Democrat sat on the board. Change in course For more than a century, DuPage County was undeniably Republican. But over the past two decades — particularly the past six years — Democrats have incrementally loosened the GOP’s grip on the county. In 2006, the county had an entirely Republican 18-seat board. Over the next 10 years, Democrats grew to have a small presence on the body. But then the tide really started to change. In 2018 alone, the body added six Democrats to the mix. That same year, Jean Kaczmarek was elected clerk, making her the first Democrat to snag a county-wide office in DuPage since 1934. (BAR CHART) By 2020, Democrats picked up four more seats on the board, flipping the majority in their favor. Two years later, voters elected the board’s first Democratic chair in at least three-quarters of a century. It all pointed to a change in course. Still, even when Democrats took control of the board four years ago — something that hadn’t happened since the 1930s — questions loomed: was DuPage County really blue? Was it purple? Will it last? November’s election, though, dealt answers, observers say. That’s even despite Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket underperforming President Joe Biden by nearly three points. “I think it’s enduring change,” Mouritsen said. And it comes down to there being a greater shift in what the electorate is thinking, meaning residents “by and large more identify as Democrats,” she said. Mouritsen, in part, attributes the change to secular shift, including demographics and that “we’re seeing more people move to DuPage from Cook County, who bring their politics.” Another factor is mapmaking, Mouritsen said. Favorable political districts for Illinois Democrats starting in 2010 gave way to Democratic gerrymandering in DuPage, she said. A third component has been just work of the party itself. Mouritsen called the trio of factors “three legs of a table,” all contributing to Democrats’ ascendancy in DuPage. Then, six years ago, the change — already in the making — hastened with something Mouritsen dubbed the “Trump effect.” Repudiation In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump received 39% of the county’s vote, nearly nine points less than Mitt Romney four years prior. Locally, there appeared to be an aversion to Trump, Mouritsen said. “(I would say) there was a strong contingent of Republicans in DuPage County who felt that way,” she said, adding that in turn helped to spur on the blue shift already taking root in the county. Former DuPage County Board Democrat Elizabeth “Liz” Chaplin says that she has likewise found that, “(With) what we’re hearing at the national level … a lot of people just don’t like this rhetoric (and) I think that really helped us resonate with the voters.” Chaplin was first elected to the board in 2012. She retained her seat for 12 more years before leaving to successfully run for county recorder this year. “I mean, from 12 years to where we are today, I never thought it would have turned this quickly,” she said. To her, Trump’s first term is the “prevailing factor” in propelling that flip, she said. Jennifer Zordani, who was the acting chair of the Democratic Party of DuPage County until mid-November, likewise thinks repudiation has played an important part in change, she says, though less so in direct response to Trump and more against extremist ideology in general. “I don’t know if it’s as much the repudiation of Trump … (as it is) a repudiation of extremists on issues,” she said. Where Zordani and Chaplin do align is their belief in where the past few years have landed DuPage today. “I believe it is solidly blue,” Zordani said. Chaplin echoed, “I do see (the county) as truly blue.” Across the aisle, though, observations diverge. ‘Green wave’ James Zay, a DuPage County Board member since 1999 and chairman of DuPage County Republicans, says he wouldn’t call recent change a blue wave but a “green wave.” “Democrats are outspending us probably 10 to one at least in all of these House and Senate races and on media on Chicago markets. … And you can’t tell me it doesn’t have an effect down ballot,” Zay said. Democrats had a hefty financial advantage in state legislative races, with the House Democrats’ campaign organization and the state party funneling millions of dollars to candidates facing potentially tough Republican competition. As far as other potential down-ballot effects, Zay dismissed the notion that Trump is a deterrent for local Republicans. There were more requests for Trump signs ahead of November’s election than he’s seen before, Zay said. Speaking to the GOP’s broader trajectory both in the years leading up to November and going forward, Zay did recognize there is work ahead for the party. Namely, building Republicans’ stronghold back from the ground up. DuPage Republicans in recent years have lost a once-strong pipeline for up-and-coming candidates, Zay said. Of late, the party hasn’t “done a good job of bringing people up from park district boards and municipal boards” for higher office, he said. It needs to build a farm system again, he noted. In Zay’s estimation, the county these days is more purple than firmly blue. “I would definitely say it’s a 60-40 (Democrats to Republicans) county right now,” he said. But that split, as the past few years have shown, is subject to change, he added. “It could turn at any time. I mean, who knows, you know?” A blue future? The durability of Democrats’ momentum in DuPage is hard to pinpoint, according to Stephen Maynard Caliendo, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at North Central College. Caliendo, who is also a professor of political science, expects the shift to persist for some time, though that doesn’t mean it will never swing back, he said. There are a few factors, again, playing to Democrats’ favor. One is incumbent advantage, Caliendo says. Another is the party’s power statewide, he said, especially when it comes to redistricting. “With a state that is always in control by Democrats, it’s very unlikely … that they’re going to” realign districts in a way that’s going to put them — candidates in DuPage included — at a disadvantage, he said. What could make a difference is the country’s larger political environment, Caliendo said. “The reason why I might be wrong,” he said, “is because we may be seeing a fundamental realignment of the parties … and what I mean by that is I don’t know if the Republican Party can survive Trump in the form that it had taken since 1980.” If that’s the case, Caliendo continued, “everything I said about redistricting and whatever is not going to make any difference because people who used to vote Democrat might vote Republican” and vice versa. For now, what DuPage Democrats can — and should do — is avoid complacency, Chaplin and Zordani advise. “We’re still growing. … We can’t rest on our laurels,” Chaplin said. “I think we have to continue to work to let people know who we are,” Zordani added, “(and) what we’re doing. … We are solidly blue, but it would never ever be something I would take for granted.”)

— Trump won the November 5, 2024 presidential election. The voters have spoken. In light of that, what should Republican party leaders, elected officials, and candidates be doing to defend and advance Trump? What should the following be doing to defend and advance Trump: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your Republican county and township/ward party organizations, b) the Republican elected officials in your area, and c) the Republican candidates on the April 1, 2025 ballot in your precinct? – Dave Diersen

— Democrat and RINO leaders reject Trump’s election and they ever-increasingly promote more hatred against Trump. That hatred caused all but 2 of the 13 Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in my precinct to lose. How successful will Democrat and RINO leaders be in causing the Republican candidates on the April 1, 2025 ballot in my precinct to lose? I have 1,091 registered voters in my precinct. 458 (42%) are Independent. 361 (33%) are Republican. 272 (25%) are Democrat. – Dave Diersen

— More than a million Venezuelans have been allowed into the US in the time President Joe Biden has been in office. A staggering 1,022,409 citizens of the South American country have been encountered at the southern border or granted admission into the US through one of Biden’s immigration programs, according to federal government statistics from 2021 through October of this year. This citizenship is particularly important because Venezuelans have largely fueled the crisis at the border for the last four years – from asylum-seekers fleeing the communist regime back home to the Tren de Aragua members who have unleashed a wave of crime in American cities.

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-10-23/devin-nunes-donald-trump-truth-social-california-congress-robin-abcarian
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve followed Nunes’ career as an ultra-litigious Trump defender who is afflicted by a world-class intolerance for perceived slights. Before taking the helm of Trump Media in 2022, Nunes had a master’s degree in agriculture but little hands-on business experience. He was involved in his family’s San Joaquin Valley dairy farm decades ago; when he was 14, he has recounted, he bought seven head of young cattle to raise and sell. I guess this explains his tolerance for the, ah, stench of MAGA bull. Given his disdain for media in general and free speech in particular, as evidenced by a series of lawsuits against news organizations and other critics, putting Nunes in charge of a fledgling media empire was a bizarre move — unless the company is all about cozying up to the deep-pocketed sort of people who would benefit from a second Trump administration. According to documents obtained by ProPublica, an unnamed Trump Media whistleblower recently asked the company’s board of directors to fire Nunes. One person with knowledge of the situation told ProPublica that the complaint alleged “misuse of funds, hiring of foreign contractors and interfering with product development.” (A Trump Media spokesperson denied the charges and accused the nonprofit journalism organization of a campaign to damage the company.))

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

WORD & WAY
— What Congress Reveals About Lutheran Denominations (COMMENT: In 1961, when I was in 8th grade, Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Crete left the Missouri Synod for the Wisconsin Synod. To stay with the Missouri Synod, my parents joined Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and transferred me to a newly formed 8th grade there. That ended my parents’ annual family reunions that had been held for many decades. That had a major impact on me.)
https://wordandway.org/2024/08/15/what-congress-reveals-about-lutheran-denominations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the current 532 members of Congress (there are three open House seats at the moment), Republicans have a narrow majority with 51% of the seats. The partisan divide among Lutheran members in Congress depends on which denomination. Of the 20 Lutheran members identified, 12 belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that Walz is part of, while 7 are in the more conservative Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. One other member, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which is smaller and more conservative than the other two bodies. . .The members of the 118th Congress show which Lutheran denominations in public life have the most partisan leaning. Only the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a bipartisan delegation, while the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod currently only send Republicans to Congress.)

— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid?

I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

— Elon Musk asks if the IRS should be ‘deleted’ after agency begs for $20 billion – here’s how X users responded (COMMENT: Without IRS, how would the money that the federal government needs be collected? Who do you know who is working for IRS or did work for IRS? I worked for IRS’s Collection Division as a Revenue Officer ( https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/how-to-know-it-is-an-irs-revenue-officer ) 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020year. During my last 4 years, I worked as a Special Procedures Staff Advisor ( https://www.gao.gov/assets/b-137762.pdf SEE: Page 13) Ever since then, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used the aforesaid against me big time. I should write about that.)
https://nypost.com/2024/11/27/us-news/elon-musk-asks-if-the-irs-should-be- deleted-after-agency-begs-for-20-billion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 60% of X users preferred having the IRS’s budget “deleted.” Only 3.9% said the federal agency’s budget should remain the same, 5.6% felt it deserved more money and 29.9% said the IRS budget should be decreased.)

— Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers. (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— ‘Disgusting’: Joe Walsh shreds Musk’s ‘dangerous’ attack on civil service
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists. In today’s dollars I earned $150,075/year when I was 49, $110,020/year when I was 31, $97,079/year when I was 25, $54,728/year when I was 22, and $18.09/hour when I was 16.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records. For example, an X post said, “Nancy Pelosi’s niece should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US Taxpayer to be the ‘Climate Advisor’ at HUD.”)

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

— If you were me, what would you do to encourage the following to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists? Since 2000, many of the aforesaid have taken many big adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out my newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them. They blame me and they blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. – Dave Diersen

— All my employers were run by Democrats. QUESTION: Why did they gamble and lose that I would become a Democrat? ANSWER: Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My parents rejected leaving the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod. I was not viewed as being college material. I had to work my way through college. My Democrat superiors knew that I wanted to advance my career and they knew that I knew that you have to be a Democrat to advance your career. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How would your life been different if you had been a Democrat? If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors would not have taken the many big adverse actions against me that they did notwithstanding my being White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, my living in Crete 1948-1972 and my living in Wheaton since 1978. Instead, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. I say that a) because I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) because I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 44, 47, and 48, and c) because I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— Politics is nasty/vicious. Government is nasty/vicious. What is your hometown? My hometown is Crete. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I should write a book about my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned Crete the most as having been full of German American Lutherans while I lived there who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. They stress that I am 100% German American and that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran while I lived in Crete. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. QUESTION: What will it take to make the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) start defending and advancing the Republican Party platform? ANSWER: Direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. My many critics/opponents in the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have always vehemently opposed direct election of IRP SCC members. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me because I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. – Dave Diersen
