Illinois 3rd Congressional District is a leading example. Democrats ever-increasingly a) get rid of Whites and b) gerrymander to create more minority-majority political jurisdictions.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250809/illinois-state-politics/what-more-could-the-governor-do-illinois-lawmakers-doubt-states-districts-could-be-more-gerryma/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country,” said Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills. “What more could the governor do?” . . . Senate Republican Leader John Curran of Downers Grove accused Pritzker of “meddling in other states’ redistricting issues for national press coverage.” “He should be working to increase voter choice here in Illinois by calling for fair maps like he pledged when running for office,” Curran said. . . Illinois’ current congressional map was drawn to give Democrats an edge in nearly all of the state’s 17 districts, even though roughly 41% of the state’s voters supported Trump in the 2020 election and 44% of voters did so in 2024. Likewise, Trump carried 88 of Illinois’ 102 counties in 2020 and again in 2024. The gerrymandering is particularly obvious in the West and Northwest suburbs, where some districts curl through a dozen or more communities in multiple counties like ribbons in the wind. Curran said it’d be “impossible” to gerrymander the map more than it already has been. “Gerrymandering weakens our democracy and removes choice from voters,” Curran said. “It should be ended throughout the country — starting here in Illinois.”)

ABC NEWS
— The easiest way to understand gerrymandering is through the lens of two basic techniques: cracking and packing. Cracking splits groups of disfavored voters among multiple districts. With their electoral strength divided, cracked groups struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts because they are too small a share of the electorate to be effective. Packing is the opposite of cracking. With packing, map drawers cram members of disfavored groups or parties into as few districts as possible. The packed groups are able to elect their preferred candidates by overwhelming margins, but their voting strength is weakened everywhere else. These techniques are not mutually exclusive — both may be deployed by map drawers to engineer a decided partisan advantage. Illinois 3rd Congressional District is an example Hispanic packing.

— Who wants to be the next chairman of the Illinois Republican Party? 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. – Dave Diersen

— 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.

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
— Rhonda Belford: Democrats can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/07/opinion-illinois-gerrymandering-texas-redistricting/
(FROM THE LETTER: Gov. JB Pritzker is once again talking about gerrymandering — just not in Illinois. This week, he welcomed Texas Democratic legislators to Oakwood, Illinois, to denounce Republican redistricting efforts in that state. But while Pritzker lectures red states about fairness, he continues to ignore the glaring problems in his own backyard. Don’t forget that in 2021, Pritzker signed one of the most blatantly and aggressively gerrymandered congressional maps in the country, drawn and passed by his own party. The map created districts with lines that make my grandchildren’s scribblings look like Pablo Picasso’s. It’s a stark contrast from when Pritzker was on the campaign trail. He promised to veto any map that was “in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies.” Pritzker campaigned with a message of hope and fairness and moving past Democrats’ history of corruption. Then, at his first opportunity, Pritzker broke that promise without hesitation. “Fairness” wasn’t on Illinois Democrats’ minds. Now, as he positions himself to run for president, Pritzker is outraged. While standing on his giant soapbox and projecting his moral authority, he floated the idea of redrawing even more favorable maps in Illinois. That’s not democratic leadership; it’s partisan gamesmanship. That map gave Democrats a clear advantage in 14 of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts and earned an “F” for fairness from the nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project. The maps weren’t an accident. They deliberately cut out two Republican-leaning seats and helped lock in Democratic control. Let that sink in: The same man who signed, supported and pushed one of the worst partisan gerrymanders in the nation is now upset that other states are following his lead. Instead of looking in the mirror or pushing for national changes, Pritzker responds by threatening additional partisan moves that will continue to divide our state. Illinois families deserve better. They deserve fair representation, not districts drawn in backrooms to silence opposition and insulate power. When maps are rigged to favor one party, voters lose faith in our elections and our country’s founding principles. The truth is, with Democratic supermajorities in Springfield, there’s no one who can force Illinois Democrats to do the right thing and clean up partisan games — they need to do it themselves. If Pritzker truly wants to lead on voting rights and gerrymandering, he should start by honoring the promise he made to Illinois voters: to support an independent redistricting commission and end partisan gerrymandering in our state. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Until then, his speeches about fairness will continue to ring hollow. You can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Before our governor lectures Texas on fairness, he should take a long, hard look at his own record — and start living up to the promises he made to the people of Illinois. Rhonda Belford is an Illinois Republican national committeewoman and president of the Republican County Chairmen’s Association of Illinois. She leads the 12th District State Central Committee.)

I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

She was elected in 2018 to the Wheaton-based district and has overcome hard charging Democrat challenges in the past three election cycles. After being vastly outspent in 2024, she won re-election by 292 votes. No word yet on who Republicans hope to see the seat. Democrats appear high on their candidate, Wheaton Village Trustee Erica Bray-Parker.)

I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 years old in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors used “up-or-out” to deem me too old to ever be promoted to GS-13. I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

— Columbia and Brown to Disclose Admissions and Race Data in Trump Deal. A widely overlooked part of a settlement with the two universities could profoundly alter how elite schools determine who gets accepted. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly crowed about their success in hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That is, they ever-increasingly crowed about their success in not hiring, not retaining, and not promoting Republicans who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. By the time my GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, all of my Chicago office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

With the money that I earned delivering newspapers and washing dishes, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966.

— 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.

— Trump says “We Want to Take Care of Our American Workers.” But what about Americans who ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs like I did? I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumped more gasoline, collected delinquent federal taxes, and audited federal agencies. My critics/opponent ever-increasingly make it clear that they would never have stooped to take the jobs that I took. I should write about my critics/opponents.

But because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, GAO offered me a transfer only at GS-9 Step 10 Level, currently $88,808/year, a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars To add insult to injury, GAO ignored/dismissed/belittled that most of what I did for IRS was similar to what I would do for GAO, that I had earned an MBA in 1976, that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting.

— According to Democrat leaders, it is not possible to rig jobs numbers. My Democrat superiors in the federal government falsely argued that they did not rigg their employment decisions against me. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have a) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS 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.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was attractive. She was young. She was wealthy. She was demanding. She wanted all her employees to have a graduate degree in finance. I got her appointed to the IIT board of directors for its master’s degree program in financial markets and trading that I completed in 1997. Nevertheless, she played a big role in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

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.

— 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. Further, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have been able to a) force me to resign and b) disallow my sick leave requests.

— 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.

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.
