POLITICO ILLINOIS
— 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.)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that no one can survive in America, let alone succeed in America, without massive Democrat-provided government assistance.

They used those cuts a) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, b) to delay my promotions and to never promote me beyond GS-13, c) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— ‘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.)

— Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly pass laws to get rid of Republicans. As Democrats ever-increasingly move into your state, county, and municipality, they will ever-increasingly elect officials who will ever-increasingly pass laws to get rid of Republicans. Because Republicans are predominately conservative, White, male, older, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, Democrat laws will harm them the most. That is why Republicans who are the following are ever-increasingly leaving Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

— What do you think of pensioners? My critics/opponent despise/hate pensioners. In my defense, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $66,780/year. It would be much more if my Democrat superiors in the federal government had not wasted my career, took many big adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, my pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972. To get that pension, I had to pay CSRS 7% for my salary and I had to survive and overcome many big adverse actions. – Dave Diersen

I should write about my critics/opponents.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Nearly 32,000 Illinois government pensioners paid $100k-plus. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $66,780/year. It would be much more if my Democrat superiors in the federal government had not wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, my pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972.

— 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.)

In any event, GAO would not have forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, 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, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

— Adverse Employment Action. To get rid of me because I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, 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, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, b) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— McKinsey pressures staff to get promoted or get lost. Has up-or-out been used against you? My Democrat superiors in federal government started using up-or-out against me when I was 25 years old in 1974 because they had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year. I finally did make GS-13 in 1986, but not until after I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had, and/or b) were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewleahey/2025/06/22/illinois-vehicle-mileage-tax-fix-the-roads-and-fund-the-future/
BUSINESS INSIDER
— Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cpa-jobs-millennial-accounting-great-career-path-comfortable-life-2024-12
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)
FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
https://www.fedweek.com/retirement-financial-planning/my-federal-career-was-it-a-good-decision-to-leave-the-private-sector/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985. My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804. I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career. This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing. My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut. My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward. My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/news/2025/06/21/ex-dairy-owner-jim-oberweis-to-fundraise-in-kane-county-sunday-for-florida-congressional-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Illinois State Sen. Jim Oberweis is returning to Kane County for a fundraiser to support his run for Congress in Florida’s 19th District. Oberweis, formerly of Sugar Grove, is running in the 2026 Republican primary seat on Florida’s southern Gulf Coast being vacated by Byron Donalds in the 2026 primary election. The fundraiser is from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Dunham Woods Riding Club, 33W333 Army Trail Road in Wayne, according to the invitation. According to the invitation, the guest speaker will be Corey Brooks, known as Chicago’s “Rooftop Pastor,” who delivered a prayer at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Individual tickets for the Oberweis fundraiser are $250, available through RSVP@VoteJimO.com. No one from the campaign could be reached for comment. (COPY OF THE INVITATION) Even though he received an invitation, Kane County GOP Chairman Andro Lerario said he isn’t going. “With all due respect to Jim Oberweis – I like him, he’s a nice man – I’m concerned with Kane County, not with Naples, Florida,” Lerario said. “My issue is, he’s running for a position in Florida,” Lerario said. “I’ve already gone through two different situations in our party where, during the last election year, we had our own people do fundraisers in Kane County for Kari Lake and General [Michael] Flynn.” Lake lost her bid to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate and Flynn was raising money for a conservative nonprofit, America’s Future. Both fundraisers were held last year in St. Charles, records show. “These were very successful. Then they left Kane County,” Lerario said. “I don’t need another fundraiser that is going to take money out of Kane County when I have enough issues going on here. Do it in that state or that county, not here. With all due respect, we could use the money.” Oberweis, aside from being famous for ice cream, is also known for losing more elections than he has won. He lost a bid for the Illinois 14th Congressional District to Democrat Lauren Underwood in 2020. In 2008, Oberweis lost twice to Democrat Bill Foster, first in a special election for the remainder of J. Dennis Hastert’s seat and then in the general election. In 2006, Oberweis lost the GOP primary for Illinois governor. In 2002 and 2004, he lost Republican primaries in Illinois for U.S. Senate. In 2012, Oberweis won for the 25th District seat in the Illinois Senate and served two terms. In 2014, he won the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, but lost in the general election to incumbent U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who recently announced he won’t seek reelection next year. Last year, the dairy that bears Oberweis’ family name filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. He had left the company in 2007 when he passed Oberweis Dairy on to his son.)

— Trump’s makeover of the Civil Service has made it easier to fire federal employees. For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. For Democrat leaders, federal employees are their Patronage Army. 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 gambled that I would become a Democrat, but I refused to do that. I carried out their orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates, virtually all of whom were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. But because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is changing long-standing norms around how the government hires and fires people, including by trying to turn tens of thousands of federal workers into at-will employees. President says it’s part of making the government more accountable. His critics contend that he is politicizing the civil service.)

— New federal pension system would put more burden on new employees. I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. Federal employees hired before 1989 were under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) . Those hired after 1989 are under the less generous Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). That ever-increasingly made FERS employees resent, despise, if not hate CSRS employees. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump is bulldozing through decades of nonpartisan federal employment protections in a brazen attempt to transform the entire government workforce into a cadre of personal loyalists, according to alarmed federal workers and public service watchdogs. The authoritarian makeover would obliterate longstanding precedent requiring federal hiring and promotion based on qualifications and experience—replacing it with ideological purity tests that prioritize devotion to Trump over competence or constitutional duty. “These employees could be replaced with partisan loyalists — people who will obey any order, regardless of the Constitution,” warned Joe Spielberger of the Project on Government Oversight, told the Washington Post. “This elevates loyalty to an individual president over the oath of office and the best interests of the public.” Trump’s radical restructuring includes forcing new federal workers to accept easily-fired “at-will” status or pay higher retirement contributions. Even more disturbing, job applicants must now write essays explaining how they’ll advance Trump’s personal agenda—a chilling loyalty test reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. The administration’s “Merit Hiring Plan” requires candidates to answer: “How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role?” the Post reported. The article added that federal workers are horrified by the transparent political screening. “That memo details this administration’s sordid strategy to turn a nonpartisan federal workforce into a merry band of MAGA loyalists,” said Aisha Coffey, an FDA communications specialist who was fired and is now on administrative leave. “The directive is clear: The civil service is to serve the president, first and foremost, and the American population last.”

BLOOMBERG
— House GOP Drafts Cuts to Federal Employee Pension System. According to critics/opponents, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) is much too generous. They decry that it would be even higher if my Democrat superiors a) had not forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) had not delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and c) had not forced me to resign when I was 20 years old in 1969. They remain furious that I got full-time CSRS credit while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 while I worked only part-time and that I got CSRS credit for my unused sick days. In my defense, while I worked for the federal government, 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.

— One could question why I did not succumb earlier than I did to my Democrat GAO superiors’ ever-increasing tremendous pressure on me to retire. I could have taken their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 years old in 1993, but I nevertheless survived until I was 49 years old in 1997. Obvious reasons include my Civil Service Retirement System would have been even smaller. During those 4 years, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading. If I had not taken their “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it very clear that they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me.

— How have Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI impacted you? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 and replaced me with my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like I had. My critics/opponents applaud that, that is, they applaud AA and DEI, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. My Democrat GAO superiors would not have replace me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

— For Women to Have Real Political Power, We Need Quotas. Since the 1960s, all those above me have been under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to meet race and gender quotas, goals, and targets. Because of my bad demographics, that ever-increasingly rendered worthless my 1970 job-related bachelor’s degree, my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, my 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 job-related professional certifications, and my 1981 job-related professional license.
