(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Netroots Nation, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) proudly called ICE a terrorist organization. Why? Is it because they’re enforcing immigration laws that have been on the books for generations, or is it over the fact that these federal agents are removing the political lifeblood of Democrats? It might be a little bit, but Ramirez is one of many Democrats who are willing to tolerate and enable rape, murder, assault, robbery, and other violent crimes over some pseudointellectual drivel about policing, prisons, and racism.)

https://www.newsbreak.com/the-kansas-city-star-1592484/4172530226629-republicans-call-for-deportation-of-illinois-democrat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) has sparked nationwide GOP backlash after she claimed she identifies as a “proud Guatemalan” before identifying as an American. The remarks, made while speaking at a Mexico City conference, have led to online calls for her deportation. Her statement led to accusations of disloyalty and the trending hashtag #DeportDelia. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) wrote, “Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.” Ramirez said, “Let’s call it what it is: today’s attacks are a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government. It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress —who betray their oath each day they enable Trump— are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots.” Ramirez said, “No one questions when my white colleagues identify as Irish-American, Italian-American, or Ukrainian-American to honor their ancestry. I’ve consistently expressed pride in my heritage and history – a pride also often reflected in the origin stories of my colleagues.” Ramirez added, “Only those who believe America should not include the children of immigrants or be diverse would attack me – and Americans like me – for honoring my roots.” Ramirez has strongly opposed President Donald Trump’s policies, including his $170 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding bill. Elected in 2022, Ramirez has presented her identity as a symbol of U.S. diversity. Ramirez’s husband is a DACA recipient, and she remained a strong advocate for legal status for Dreamers. Ramirez stated, “Anyone who denies our claim on this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant roots only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is.”)
WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FRONT PAGE: This Family Couldn’t Be Prouder Of the Adult Living in the Basement. Because my father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother. After I graduated from NIU in 1970 debt free and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, I lived with them and helped support them in Crete until 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park. During that time, I worked a) full-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1970-1971 and part-time 1971-1972 and b) full-time for IRS in Chicago in 1971 and in Harvey in 1972. My financial hardship deferment was approved in early 1971. But soon, I was no longer subject to the draft because my draft number was more than 100. Later in 1971, I bought a new 1972 Corvette because my Charger was stolen. During 1972, I paid for tuition and books for four graduate evening business courses at Loyola.

— Hold Members of Congress to Their Oath
https://www.newsmax.com/michaeldorstewitz/guatemala-omar-somalia/2025/08/11/id/1222008/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Delia Ramirez is the latest congresswoman to draw flak from remarks that call her allegiance to the United States into question, an allegiance to which they had both pledged when they were sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Speaking before a Mexico City summit over the last weekend, the Illinois Democrat announced, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and the Department of Homeland Security retweeted her statement along with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism,” the 28th president said. “Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” That’s especially true for members of Congress. Their oath of office is as follows: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” As Roosevelt noted, there is no room for divided loyalties in this country — especially where one expresses a greater loyalty to a foreign country than to the United States. Although Ramirez was the latest politician to call her loyalty into question, she’s not the only one to do so.)
U.S. HOUSE ENERGY & COMMERCE COMMITTEE
— Chairman Guthrie Issues Statement Regarding CBO Coverage Update from the One Big Beautiful Bill
https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairman-guthrie-issues-statement-regarding-cbo-coverage-update-from-the-one-big-beautiful-bill
(FROM THE POSTING: “The prolonged lie exacerbated by Democrats that 17 million individuals will lose health care coverage from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has finally been dispelled by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). In the most recent coverage update released by CBO, CBO estimates 10 million individuals enrolled in federal health care programs will no longer be covered, with 5.3 million being able-bodied adults refusing to work, 3.7 million having access to other forms of coverage, and the remaining balance being removed from the rolls since coverage was limited to U.S. citizens and lawfully permanent residents. It’s easy to scare people with coverage loss estimates, but the facts are clear – the vast majority of these individuals are either choosing to lose coverage or aren’t actually eligible for Medicaid, and nearly all are eligible for other forms of coverage. “I think about Americans all across the country, who work hard every day but have to pay with their own taxpayer dollars for the health care of millions of able-bodied Americans who are choosing not to work. Republicans will continue to find commonsense solutions that ensure these programs are available for those who need them most, for generations to come. I thank President Trump for his steadfast leadership on this issue and for signing a piece of legislation that promotes the future of our health programs to serve their intended purpose.” BACKGROUND: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently released the updated coverage numbers for H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). CBO estimated the total number of uninsured beneficiaries to be 10 million by 2034. The breakdown includes: 5.3 million able-bodied adults currently covered by Medicaid who are choosing not to work; 3.7 million individuals who will have access to another form of health insurance; and
1 million individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully permanent residents.)

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.”)

— 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.

By doing that, they forced the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to pay me to not come to work. So far, the CSRS has paid me $1.8 million in today’s dollars to not come to work.

— About 3,870 NASA employees have applied to depart the agency over two rounds through the Trump administration’s deferred resignation program. My Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors always and increasingly wanted me to depart because I failed/refused to become a Democrat, because I was not a minority, female, or veteran, and because I increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They ever-increasingly did everything that they could to get rid of me. My Democrat Post Office superiors denied my sick leave requests and forced me to resign. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

— Federal housing credit expansion could increase affordable rental units in Illinois. What helped you avoid having to pay rent? For me, it was my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, earning an MBA when I was 27, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32. That enabled me to buy a new town home when I was 24, buy condos when I was 25 and 27, get married and buy a home when I was 29, and have a home built when I was 35.

I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Because of that, even though I had almost 9 years’ experience working for IRS and more than a year working for GAO when I was 32, the CPA profession, including IRS and GAO, considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

HAMILTON SPECTATOR
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, when Whites and men do better than minorities and females, it is because Whites and men discriminate against minorities and females. Of course, that encourages minorities and females to despise/hate Whites and males. Since the 1960s, those above me have given tremendous preference to minorities and to females.

CHICAGO DEFENDER
— I did not even try to get a student loan. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. But because I worked my way through college, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.
https://chicagocrusader.com/unsettling-accounts-illinois-confronting-growing-student-loan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With $49,000 in student loan debt, Josue Villalpando figured becoming a homeowner was a long way off. “The thought of purchasing a home was definitely floating around, however I never actually looked into it knowing that I had such a big burden with my student loans,” he said. A recent graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago, Villalpando, 29, took out private loans to pay for college. Unlike federal student loans, private loans typically have higher interest rates and fewer forgiveness programs, making them harder for borrowers to pay off. Then, his fiancé came across the SmartBuy program – an initiative set up by the state to help incentivize residents to purchase a home while paying off their student loan debt, one of the leading factors delaying homeownership among young adults. SmartBuy pays up to $40,000 in student loans and contributes up to $5,000 towards a down payment or closing costs at the time of purchase.)

They stress a) that I did not get any scholarships, b) that my ACT score was only 24, c) that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, and d) that I did not get any internships. In my defense, I stress that instead of studying, I worked far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail.

Because my parents had enough money to send me to Missouri Lutheran Synod grade schools, my critics/opponents have always demonized them and me as being filthy rich. But my father never made more than $50,000 a year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. I had to work my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A rowdy crowd of 5,000 Gen Z Republican organizers rattled the Tampa Convention Center Saturday night with their support for President Donald Trump’s deportation policies. While the president’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation split the event’s lineup of MAGA media stars, the young adults gathered for Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit were united in their enthusiasm for their favorite Trump Cabinet celebrities. Border czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem received what can only be called a hero’s welcome, with fans from across the country pressing to take a selfie, straining to get a MAGA hat signed and screaming as the White House’s top deportation authorities took the stage amid pyrotechnics and pounding music. “We’re on a mission to make this country safe again,” Homan shouted over the applause. “President Trump was elected for this issue.” And this is the issue Trump must continue to deliver on for the political grassroots if he hopes to keep his team of advisers and his most fervent supporters on board, said Turning Point president Charlie Kirk in an interview with the Deseret News.)

NEW YORK TIMES
–The mainstream news media exists to drive Trump’s approval rating down. What is your approval rating? Based on how the following treat me and how they treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, their approval rating of me and of GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters is very low if not extremely low: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. The aforesaid blame me and they blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Who/what do you blame for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000?

— Missouri Governor Signs Bill Rolling Back Voter-Approved $15/hour Minimum Wage. My critics/opponents were furious when I was 18 years old in 1966 and started earning $19.37/hour in today’s dollars working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office. In today’s dollars, my salary was $20.02/hour 1967/1968 and $20.67/hour 1968/1969. The money that I earned enabled me to a) pay my UIC and NIU expenses, b) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, c) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and d) graduate debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 owning that Charger.

— How Health Care Remade the U.S. Economy. For years, the United States labor market has been undergoing a structural transformation. As jobs in manufacturing have receded, slowly but steadily, the health care industry has more than replaced them. The change has been particularly visible over the past year, during which health care has been responsible for about a third of all employment growth, while other categories, like retail and manufacturing, have stayed essentially flat.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly fight deportation of their illegals. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly a) glorify and praise illegals and b) promote more hatred against Republicans.

REASON
— The Kash Patel Loyalty Test. All my critics/opponents demand blind loyalty to them. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— Amazon is purging its employees who are citizens of foreign countries who had their legal status revoked under Trump. Instead of me, if they could have, all my employers would have hired citizens of foreign countries instead of me. Citizens of foreign countries work for less money and are easier to exploit.
