ABC7
— 20 Democratic-led states sued the Trump administration on Monday for withholding more than $6 billion in federal funds for several education programs nationwide. Many low-income families will lose access to after-school programs if the money isn’t released soon. What did you do while you were in high school? During my freshman and sophomore years, I did yard work. During all 4 years, I delivered newspapers. During my junior and senior years, I washed dishes.

NBC5
— These Republicans could challenge Gov. JB Pritzker’s reelection bid. The first day petitions can be submitted for the March primary will arrive early next month.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/these-republicans-could-challenge-gov-jb-pritzkers-reelection-bid/3789070/
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/video-republican-field-takes-shape-to-oppose-pritzker-reelection-bid/3789117/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So far, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and businessman Joe Severino have announced they intend to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but they could be joined by several others, including Rep. Darin LaHood, who is weighing options between a bid for the governor’s mansion or the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Dick Durbin. His team told NBC Chicago Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern that he is still weighing his options ahead of the Aug. 5 start of the petition season. Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate and the chairman of the Cook County Republican Party, is also weighing a potential run, and he says he sees a path forward for any candidate seeking to deny Pritzker a third term in office. “There is a strong donor base, but you just need to talk to them and convince them that this state is worth investing in,” he said. “There are some concerns about running against the richest elected official in the United States. Illinois is worth saving, and worth investing in, and somebody needs to put Illinois first, and our campaign will display that same motto in action.” Ted Dabrowski, president of the media outlet Wirepoints, which focuses on economic and government issues in Illinois, is also considering a run, reaching out to donors as part of that effort, according to Ahern’s reporting.)
— Who has the advantage in the race for Dick Durbin’s Senate seat? Three Democrats are vying for the seat, while the Republican primary remains largely up in the air. One could compare and contrast the Illinois Republican U.S. Senate 2004 primary ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois ) with the 2026 primary. All five announced candidates (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) walked in Wheaton’s 2003 Independence Day parade and then attended a picnic in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. My critics/opponents were not only furious that Ryan won the primary instead of their candidate McKenna, they blamed me for McKenna’s defeat. I was not only the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I was also an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois. Neither organization endorsed McKenna. Ryan withdrew after he won the primary and then the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced him with Alan Keyes who lost to Obama.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/who-has-the-advantage-in-the-race-for-dick-durbins-senate-seat/3789209/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the other side of the aisle, several names have been floated on the Republican side to run for Durbin’s Senate seat. Insiders said Richard Porter is considering a bid. Porter’s largely been behind the scenes, working as a suburban attorney and former Republican national committeeman. He also worked for former President George W Bush’s administration as a domestic policy adviser to the president and counselor to former Vice President Dan Quayle. U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood is also eyeing the Senate race, but he would have to give up his congressional seat to do so. He has also been rumored to be eyeing a run for Illinois governor, but will make his decision in coming weeks. The last Illinois Republican to serve in the Senate was Mark Kirk. He lost re-election to Duckworth in 2016.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This 1897 Wheaton property built by architect Jarvis Hunt is called the House of Seven Gables and was commissioned as a wedding gift by Chicago steel magnate Jay Morse. Later known as the Loretto Convent, the mansion has a Tudor facade, hand-carved woodwork and seven distinctive gables. In 2017, the entire 10,000-square-foot, 730-ton structure was relocated 500 feet and placed on a new foundation. The house now has modern infrastructure, all-new mechanicals, including zoned central heating and air conditioning, and public utilities. In the Loretto subdivision, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, one half-bath and a newly built, attached three-car garage. There is also an unfinished lower level with 10-foot ceilings.)

In any event, 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.

— Trump wants to dismantle the Education Department. What would that mean? Instead of reforming GAO, Gingrich gutted GAO. I should write about that.

USA TODAY
— Reasons why you’re not getting promoted. Democrats run the federal government. My Democrat superiors delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13 not only because I refused to become a Democrat, but because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/30/5-mistakes-preventing-promotion/84376177007/
— Should I take a buyout. My Democrat GAO superiors always wanted to get rid of me and my coworkers who shared my demographics. In 1993, when I was 45 years old, they “offered” those like me who had 25 or more years of federal service a $25,000 buyout if we retired early. They succeeded in forcing me to retire 4 years later just before their “offer” expired. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. Beyond the tremendous negative financial impact of being forced to retire early, it gives your critics/opponents something very big to use against you. They will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. Further, the more qualifications that you have, the more that they will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. When my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/28/jobs-buyout-layoffs-recession-economy-tips/84383588007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You’ve been offered a buyout. Your employer wants to pay you to quit. It’s a big chunk of change. Should you accept? Companies offer buyouts to thin the ranks, spending money in the short term to save money in the long run. Employers often leverage buyouts to avoid layoffs. And that thought, alone, should give you pause. The Trump administration offered buyouts to the entire federal workforce this year, aiming to reduce it by as much as 10%. Roughly 75,000 workers accepted.)

(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.)

— Trump has a very inconsistent view of job qualifications. What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. For the Post Office job, I had passed the postal employment examination and earned a high school diploma in 1966. For the IRS job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970. For the GAO job, I had worked 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, earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Trump administration opens investigation into Minnesota’s affirmative action policy. All my potential employers and all my employers were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my 1970 job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, c) my 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 job-related professional certifications, and d) my 1981 job-related professional license. All my minority and/or female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had. All my White and/or male coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats were less qualified than I was and promoted Affirmative Action and DEI big time, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination big time.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-opens-investigation-minnesota-222024940.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration said Thursday that it has opened an investigation into whether a Minnesota state agency’s newly updated affirmative action policy violates civil rights laws. The Minnesota Department of Human Services’ policy requires supervisors to provide a “hiring justification when seeking to hire a non-underrepresented candidate.” Supervisors who don’t comply can be disciplined, even fired. The Department of Justice said in a statement that the policy “seems to be part of a broader effort by the state to engage in race- and sex-based employment practices in its ‘affirmative action’ objectives.”

I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until 1981. I did not become a licensed CAP until 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. On top of that, the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young women.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Minnesota says government agencies must ‘justify’ hiring white men. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 when I was 31, IRS in 1971 when I was 22, and the Post Office in 1966 when I was 18 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. Because they have dramatically lowered hiring standards to hire Democrats, minorities, females, and veterans, they not hire me today if I was 31, 22, or 18.

— Retirement gold rush: 32,000 Illinoisans rake in $100K+ in state pensions while state runs huge deficit. The revelation comes as Illinois’ government pension debt nears a record $145 billion. My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $66,780/year. But my critics/opponents continue to viciously condemn it as being far too generous. In my defense, I stress that I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS and while I worked for the federal government and I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

USA TODAY
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE: With new power, Trump will move immediately to lay off federal workers. Arguably, Gingrich’s greatest achievement was gutting GAO. If he had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, I might still be a GAO employee. For sure, my Democrat GAO superiors could/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) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, d) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, 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.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/09/trump-wins-broad-authority-to-lay-off-federal-workers-without-congress/84520149007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump has seized the authority to lay off federal workers and reorganize the federal government in a way that critics say no president has been able to do in more than 100 years. The power, which the Supreme Court gave temporarily in a July 8 order, puts at risk thousands of federal jobs across the country at agencies that collect taxes, provide health care to veterans, and help administer retirement benefits. Labor unions say the cuts fly in the face of established law and decades of tradition, but a senior White House official told USA the layoffs are legal, and the administration intends to immediately reduce the size of government. While the court did not rule on the underlying question of Trump’s ability to enact widespread job cuts, the justices said they were likely to affirm that power.)

When I was 49 years old In 1997, I thought that my GAO job was safe, but I WAS WRONG. I erroneously thought that my job was safe because of Civil Service protections and because I had earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. But I caved in and took my Democrat GAO superiors’ forced early retirement “offer.” After I did that, I erroneously hoped that Bush, Hastert, Fitzgerald, and Hyde would come to my defense, but they did not.

Private sectors employers were not interested in me a) when I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, b) when I earned an MBA in 1976, c) when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) when I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, e) when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) when I became a licensed CPA in 1981, g) when I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and h) when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, my not being a minority, female, younger, or veteran made things even worse. I should write about that.

— Richard Porter eyeing Durbin’s seat
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/09/richard-porter-eyeing-durbins-seat-00443440
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Richard Porter, a battle-hardened Republican Party loyalist, is considering a bid for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who’s retiring. Porter sees an opening for himself and the Illinois Republican Party by blending establishment savvy with MAGA fealty. His background: Porter, 65, is a seasoned attorney from Chicago’s northern suburbs and a former Republican National Committeeman who has worn many hats over the years. He was a senior domestic policy adviser to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dan Quayle. More recently he’s been an unofficial adviser within the Illinois Republican Party. Porter’s resume screams old guard, but he now sings support for President Donald Trump and his policies — a pivot from the early years of Trump’s first administration. Walking a tightrope: “I represent the old and new party,” Porter told your Playbook host, adding he’s still in the “testing the waters phase” of running for Senate. It’s a narrow but not impossible lane, he says. With Durbin out and three prominent Democrats already elbowing one another in a looming primary brawl, Porter sees a crack in the Democratic firewall that has defined Illinois politics for so many years. “This is an open seat,” Porter said. “Democrats will have to compete in a primary so there’s a good chance for division coming out of that.” Porter expects economic renewal under Trump, and he brushed aside Democrats’ concerns that hundreds of thousands of people will lose health care under Trump’s just-signed megabill. “If you look at actual provisions, they aren’t unreasonable — there are work requirements,” Porter said. “Real world impact will be minimal.” Perhaps. But … that won’t stop Democrats from branding it as catastrophic to voters. Porter is confident that any “unintended bad consequence” from the budget reconciliation bill can be corrected before the 2026 midterms. Porter’s view: “There’s a risk if Democrats cry wolf, wolf, wolf for 12 months and there’s no wolf.” He’s also been poring over 2024 election results and sees Trump’s showing in Illinois as a positive sign that Republicans could find success in 2026 in the state where Democrats control all the statewide seats. Add a possible chaotic Democratic primary and a volatile national climate, and anything is possible. The challenge for any statewide Republican candidate, Porter says, is getting old guard and new right Republicans to march in lock step. The other challenge is getting the state’s most prominent Republican donor — businessman Richard Uihlein — on your side. SIDE NOTE: Porter would face a primary. Air Force veteran John Goodman, political commentator Pamela Denise Long and businessman Douglas Bennett and others have filed as Republican candidates, too.)

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped more gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. – Dave Diersen

— ‘They threw Christine into the water;’ Chicago ‘flash mob’ takes over Glen Ellyn’s Sunset Pool, assaults manager. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Glen Ellyn today, your municipality tomorrow.
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/673828974-they-threw-christine-into-the-waterl-chicago-flash-mob-takes-over-glen-ellyn-s-sunset-pool-assaults-manager
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “flash mob” of some 200 Chicago residents swarmed Glen Ellyn’s Sunset village pool on Saturday afternoon, forcing their way past the entrance and assaulting the pool manager. A video posted on Instagram shows a crowd pushing manager Christine Giunta-Mayer into the lap pool, which had been surrounded by the mob. Sources tell DuPage Policy Journal that the mob arrived around 4:30 p.m. Glen Ellyn Police arrived soon after and closed the pool. A Sat. afternoon Facebook post by Patrick Sandusky reported the pool as “now closed.” “The Sunset Pool has been overwhelmed by out of town kids,” he wrote. “Fireworks fired into pool. It’s a tik tok meet up / take over according to police I just spoke to.” “Kids pushed (past) the gates. Lot of drinking and weed in the parking lot. 100s and 100s of kids. No joke. Pushed manager into the pool,” Sandusky wrote. The Sunset Pool’s non-resident admission rate is $15 for individuals 18-59. On Sunday, Sunset Pool visitors were required to have a physical pool pass issued by the park district, sources tell DuPage Policy Journal. Weed, Miller Lite, and “on the rocks cosmos” Glen Ellyn teens present described a chaotic scene. The flash mob brought in coolers with alcohol and speakers to play music. “They were drinking and smoking weed and swearing a lot,” a Glen Ellyn teen present at the pool at the time told DuPage Policy Journal. “Someone threw a lit cigar into the pool.” “I saw Miller Lite bottles and girls drinking on-the-rocks cosmos,” the teen said. “They were taking people’s stuff and moving it from their pool chairs.” The flash mob was originally planned for Naperville. “We bringing (sic) 31st Beach to the burbs” read a Facebook advertisement promoting the event, scheduled for Naperville’s Centennial Beach, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. “31st Beach” is a reference to 31st Street Beach on Chicago’s South Side. Giunta-Mayer is also head coach of the Glenbard West Hilltoppers Boys’ Volleyball team.)

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.

— Chicago AM560 Axes Local Morning Radio Personality Amy Jacobson, Keeps Florida-based Host Dan Proft in Cost-Cutting Move
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/07/chicago-am560-axes-local-morning-radio-personality-amy-jacobson-keeps-florida-based-host-in-cost-cutting-move.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a shocking cost-cutting move Tuesday, Chicago’s AM560 The Answer terminated longtime morning host Amy Jacobson, as the struggling conservative station grapples with declining relevance – fueled in part by its own hosts repeatedly attacking prominent, respected Trump supporters. Jacobson, a beloved and nearly 16-year veteran of the station made the unexpected announcement late Tuesday on X, writing: “After 15 1/2 years at WIND AM560 radio, due to staffing reductions, today was my last day on the air.” For years, Jacobson co-hosted Chicago’s Morning Answer alongside Dan Proft – a polarizing and hyper-local media figure who delivers commentary on Chicago politics from his home base in south Florida. In 2022, Proft relocated to Florida, while studio executives scrambled to hide the fact that he no longer broadcasts from the Chicagoland suburban studio. Besides hosting a Chicago radio show remotely from Florida, Proft has built a fortune as a political consultant for Illinois campaigns — but unfortunately, most of his candidates have ended up losing. His track record is as disappointing as former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus’ 14-32 record before being fired in 2024. While Jacobson – who many believed represented the heart and soul of the morning show, will no longer be on air, she is however, launching a new venture, writing, “I am still processing this but I am happy to announce I have launched AmyJacobsonLive.com where I will be hosting a weekly podcast, posting behind-the-scenes blogs, live streaming.” It’s widely known across northern Illinois that AM560 hosts Shaun Thompson — who broadcasts his Chicago-based show from Naples, Florida — and Jeanne Ives frequently criticize prominent Trump supporters on air, including this publication, the only major conservative news outlet in Illinois ever shared by President Donald Trump on his personal Truth Social page. In September 2023, Ives criticized a local event featuring Donald Trump Jr., falsely claiming it struggled to sell tickets. During the 2024 presidential primary, she endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over former President Donald Trump — despite Trump leading DeSantis by more than 35 points at the time. In an April 2023 interview with Crain’s Chicago Business, Ives gave a blunt on-the-record response about IR, saying, “I don’t read their garbage.” Similarly, Thompson – a close friend of Proft and his Florida-based realtor – has dismissed the Trump-supporting publication as a “rag.” In June 2023, IR editor-in-chief and Trump administration advisor Mark Vargas resigned from AM560 as their Sunday evening radio host after Thompson went on a vile, racist rant after calling-into Black and Right Radio – calling the co-host a “moron with the taffy apple head,” as the two sparred over politics. Thompson continued his hate-filled rant aimed directly at the cohost, telling him, “you’re a disgrace, you shouldn’t go near a microphone, you’re too stupid.” But Thompson didn’t stop there – he escalated the insult on air by telling the Black co-host, “80 percent of you people are morons; 80 percent of you idiots who pretend to be Republican.” As Vargas pointed out in his resignation letter, “This vile and disgusting behavior does not represent my values. The phone calls and texts that I have received over the last few days only echo the shock and disgust that I felt while listening to Saturday’s show. It’s hard to listen too – and for very good reason. And while Shaun continues to be one of the most promoted and celebrated on-air radio personalities at the station, I cannot in good conscience continue hosting my radio show, sharing a microphone and a studio with an individual that’s so full of anger – and can say such terrible things. Therefore, I resign, effective immediately.” The station wasted no time removing Jacobson from its website and social media platforms on Tuesday — a move likely to send shockwaves through its already limited listener base.)

My critics/s/opponents cannot say that because their parents had lots of money. They bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them good jobs.

— EEOC targets law firms over DEI practices. How has EEOC impacted you? EEOC ended my career in the automotive industry. When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that job offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.

— Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my health insurance. Since I was 29 years old in 1978, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my wife’s health insurance. In my defense, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for almost 28 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on my critics/opponents who would never stoop to take a federal job. I would especially focus on my critics/opponents who look down on if not despise a) wage earners like I was for 33 years and b) pensioners like I have been for almost 28 years.

— If you earned an MBA, why did you do that? I earned an MBA because my IRS employee manual encouraged me to do that. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 year old in 1976 after I completed 16 graduate evening courses, one at a time. Nevertheless, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deduction. They outrageously, disgustingly, unethically, and falsely argued a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector, and d) that the courses qualified me for a new trade or business. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write about that.
