— Officially, who are all the candidates for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and National Committeewoman? What are their qualifications? Why are they running? Illinois Republicans await a press release from the IRP. The deadline for applying was Friday, May 3, 2024 at 5:00 PM. According to a May 8, 2024 Prairie State Wire article at https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/658419645-kolber-seeking-rnc-committeeman-seat-important-green-shoots-are-growing-in-illinois , Vince Kolber is seeking the IRP National Committeeman seat and he faces Dean White (8th CD) and Mark Shaw (1st CD). While I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2010, I conducted a candidate forum for an open IRP National Committeeman seat. Jack Roeser participated. See a Chicago Tribune article titled “Illinois Republicans pick Williamson as new national GOP representative” at https://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2010/04/illinois-republicans-pick-williamson-as-new-national-gop-representative.html and a Huffington Post article titled “Jack Roeser, Wealthy Conservative, Passed Over For GOP Leadership Role; Rich Williamson Wins National Committeeman” at https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-roeser-wealthy-conse_n_549492 . From the Tribune article: “Williamson succeeds Pat Brady, who vacated the position when he became chairman of the Illinois Republican Party last year. Also interested in the national post were conservative Carpentersville businessman Jack Roeser and former governor candidate Jim Oberweis. The selection was made before a Republican fundraiser in honor of the statewide ticket and featuring controversial RNC Chairman Michael Steele. It was supposed to be open to the media, but Brady decided to close it today.” – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The race amongst the Illinois Republican Party’s State Central Committee to be the next Republican National Committeeman is heating up as candidates campaign to replace outgoing national committeeman Richard Porter and national committeewoman Demetra Demonte, who cannot run for a third time because of term limits. While the state central committee represents the governing board of the IL GOP, the national committeeman – one male and one female, represents the state party along with the state GOP chairman before the Republican National Committee The position requires frequent travel to RNC meetings throughout the country and they are elected by delegates at the state convention. The national committeeman also votes in the RNC chairman’s election, and last year, Porter, Demonte and IL GOP chairman Don Tracy all voted to support Ronna Romney-McDaniel over the grassroots-backed candidate Harmeet Dhillon. Running to replace Porter are three candidates: state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White, and IL GOP Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber.”)

Since 2002, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) who oppose direction of IRP State Central Committee members and/or who reject planks in the IRP platform have failed in their efforts to recruit a registered Republican in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 (previously Precinct 9) in Wheaton to run against me and to defeat me for Precinct Committeeman. But I anticipate/expect that the aforesaid leaders will do whatever that they believe is necessary to get a registered Republican in my precinct to run against me and to defeat me in 2026. I should write a book the aforesaid leaders and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me so far, most recently, removing me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee.)

IDAHO CAPITOL SUN & NEWS FROM THE STATES
— Idaho 2024 primary election: Precinct committee races represent battle for soul of GOP. Hundreds of Idahoans are running for obscure precinct positions that could shake up the state’s Republican Party leadership. – CLARK CORBIN
https://idahocapitalsun.com/2024/05/13/idaho-2024-primary-election-precinct-committee-races-represent-battle-for-soul-of-gop/
https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/idaho-2024-primary-election-precinct-committee-races-represent-battle-soul-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Hundreds of obscure, down ballot primary election races for neighborhood-level political positions are drawing intense competition in Idaho and have the potential to shake up party leadership – particularly within the dominant Republican Party. The problem – according to officials on both sides of the fight for control and influence of the Republican Party – is that many voters have no idea what precinct committeemen are and likely don’t recognize the names of candidates running for these positions because they aren’t high profile offices like a congressional representative, state legislator or even a county commissioner or city council member. “I would say 99% of people don’t know and don’t know who their precinct committeeman is,” former Idaho Lt. Gov. Jack Riggs said in a telephone interview. “But your neighborhood precinct is the foundation of the party, and in our case, the Republican Party.” The stakes are so high that Riggs wrote in an April 26 opinion piece for the North Idaho Republicans that “This May, precinct committeeman will be the most important race on the ballot.” Riggs, a Republican physician who served as lieutenant governor from 2001 to 2003, is the co-founder of a group called North Idaho Republicans. The group is one of at least two groups of established, traditional Idaho Republicans who are engaging heavily in the precinct committee elections this year as part of an effort to take the Republican Party back from its current leadership team that includes Chairwoman Dorothy Moon. The other group is called Gem State Conservatives, and it includes former Idaho Republican Party chairmen Trent Clark and Tom Luna. Moon defeated Luna to become chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party in 2022. . .“There is a statewide effort to take over the party at the precinct level,” Regan said in a telephone interview. “That is not what precinct committeemen are supposed to be; it’s not supposed to be the elites and the higher ups, it’s supposed to be the grassroots, the ma and pa,” Regan added. “It’s supposed to represent the voters and the people, not a bunch of special interests. When Tom Luna lost in a landslide and his faction of the party was no longer in charge of the party, they set aside their prior calls for unity at the convention when they lost and a bunch got up and left.” Multiple efforts to reach Moon, the chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, were unsuccessful. Additionally, Moon did not respond to a list of questions about precinct committee races that a reporter from the Sun emailed to Moon and another Idaho GOP official on April 22. What is a precinct committeeman and what do they do in Idaho? There are only a few requirements to run for precinct committeeman. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, be a U.S. citizen and have been a registered voter in the precinct for at least six months before the election. Idaho law refers to the position as precinct committeeman, but anyone can run for the office, not just men. Although they are obscure, the precinct committeemen are important because they make up the grassroots level of political parties and help determine the parties’ leaders and rules. For example, the precinct committeeman elected in the May 21 Republican primary will play a big role in who is elected chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party during the upcoming GOP state convention this summer. Precinct committeemen essentially make up the county central committees for political parties in Idaho. Under state law, within 10 days of the primary election, the precinct committeemen who are elected are required to meet, organize their county central committees and elect a county chairperson and officers. Once the county central committees are organized, they select the delegates that will attend the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention that begins June 13 in Coeur d’Alene. At the convention, delegates will vote on who to elect as chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party and will help write and pass any changes to party rules or the party platform, which lists the party’s core beliefs and policies it supports. In Idaho, it is basically impossible to track how much money is going into precinct committeeman campaigns. Unlike other offices, there are no campaign finance reporting requirements for precinct committeemen with the county or the state, and there is no limit to what they can raise or spend, said Chelsea Carattini, a spokesperson for the Idaho Secretary of State’s office. Precinct committeemen are required to disclose a “paid for by” designation on any materials, Carattini said. Campaign finance information gives the public a transparent look at money funding political campaigns and candidates, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. For state level candidates, all money raised and spent on a campaign must be tracked and accounted for, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. Even local county candidates and judicial candidates must report campaign finance information once they raise $500, including the sources and expenses for that first $500. But for precinct committeemen, there are no such reporting requirements, Carattini said. How many precinct candidates are running in Idaho’s primary election this year? Unlike statewide races and elections, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office does not maintain a list of all the statewide candidates running for precinct committeeman in Idaho, Carattini said. Instead of the state keeping tabs, it’s up to local county election officials. But for context, there are almost 300 Republicans in Ada County alone running for a precinct committeeman position in the May 21 Republican primary. . .How can you tell where precinct committeeman candidates stand on issues? The ability to inform voters about these tiny precinct level offices is a challenge for everybody on all sides of this election. The North Idaho Republicans and supporters of the Gem State Conservatives have published lists of the precinct committeeman candidates they are supporting or have recruited. Regan said Republican Party rules prevent central committees from endorsing precinct committeemen. Instead, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has published a list of its current precinct committeemen in a list posted below a list of candidates for other offices that have been vetted and recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. Beyond looking at lists published online or on social media, Wasden recommends voters find out what precinct they are in and spend time researching the candidates running for precinct committeeman in their neighborhood. To support establishment Republicans looking to take the party back, Wasden urged voters to listen to see if candidates support education and public schools, reasonable government services, low taxes and fewer regulations. There’s been an increase in those running for the position in other Idaho counties as well. “For years now, the public’s interest and participation in Idaho’s Republican Party has been growing, and this year there were a record number of applicants to serve in Bonneville County,” said a press release from Nicholas Contos, Bonneville County Republican Party chairman. Across the state, there are more than 930 precincts in total, and each precinct can be represented by a different precinct committeeman in each of the four political parties the state recognizes. While state election officials do not have an exact number of precinct committeeman candidates running for office this year, longtime political observers say they have never seen this much interest and competition for the positions. “Right now what is happening is traditional, true Republicans have decided we are going to take back this party,” said Tracey Wasden, a longtime Republican booster and party official who has served as a precinct committeeman and president of the Idaho Federation of Republican Women.”)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— A Republican operative is running for Congress in Georgia with Trump’s blessing. Will it be enough? (COMMENT: I have never been an operative for any person and I never will be. My critics/opponents have a very hard time calling me an operative because I do not need/want more money. I have enough money. I have a Civil Service Retirement System pension, currently $65,165/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance. We have no debts. We have no children or dependents. We have substantial retirement savings. We own a home in Wheaton, a car condo in Naperville, and seven cars and an SUV. I have no desire for a political office or government office. I am 75 years old. Because of the aforesaid, no one manipulates me, no one dominates me, and no one ever will. While they can and do take big public adverse actions against me, for example, removing me from the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolution Committee, my critics/opponents decry that no one can tell me what to do.)

EPOCH TIMES
— Why 1960 Alternate Electors Succeeded Where 2020 Ones Failed. The two elections bear striking similarities, but important differences allowed one to succeed, while the other failed. – Lawrence Wilson
https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/why-1960-alternate-electors-succeeded-where-2020-ones-failed-5637240
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A November election decades ago produced a clear winner in a hotly contested presidential race. Yet the popular vote immediately came under scrutiny in several states. In one, auditors discovered clear errors in tabulating vote totals. In others, credible evidence of election fraud was uncovered. With a court challenge underway, electors from both parties met at a state capitol and conducted the electoral vote. Two certifications were forwarded to Washington, one declaring the Democratic candidate to be the victor, the other naming the Republican. The Republican vice president—also a candidate in the race—convened a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. Without fanfare, he moved to accept the Democratic slate of electors and set the Republican electors aside. So ended the presidential election of 1960. The state in question was Hawaii. The vice president was Richard Nixon, who ran against Democrat John F. Kennedy, and would have won if as few as 11,000 votes spread over five battleground states had gone the other way. Sixty years later, history nearly repeated itself as Republican electors from seven states sent alternative electoral certifications to Washington amid allegations of election fraud.)

No, I don’t think so,” Steele added. “You gotta understand what a party is there for.”)

— ‘Follow Your Dreams’ and Other Terrible Career Advice. Want to make a strong professional start? Be open to every opportunity and embrace the lowliest tasks. – Bonnie Hammer (COMMENT: After you earned your bachelor’s degree, what was the lowliest task that your boss gave you? In 1971, when I was 22 years old, when I was in my 7th month as the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store, while the store was open, my boss had me get on a ladder and clean the white walls on moldy tires that had been hanging on the walls of the showroom for many years. That was too much for me. I politely gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. He immediately rudely/threadedly fired me. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Previously, my Firestone Store boss had me pump gasoline, mount, balance, and install tires, change engine oil and filters, remove and install batteries, deliver major appliances, etc. He did not approve of my demographics including my being a draft-avoider, college graduate, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, Crete resident, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844. He had not hired me, the Firestone district office had hired me and assigned me to his store. He refused to let me start in his store until I passed a 2-week probationary period in Firestone’s Gary Indiana store. What little understanding/tolerance/sympathy he had for me was because a) I had worked my way through college and b) my father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and I was living with and helping support my mother and brother because of that.)

— The Government-Spending Jobs Boom. Most new jobs are in healthcare, government and social assistance. – Editorial

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In many states run by progressives such as Oregon, California and Illinois, government, healthcare and social assistance account for more than all of the net new jobs. That means those states are losing jobs in other industries. Illinois has added about 52,000 jobs in government, healthcare and social assistance over the last year—about double the number of its overall new jobs.)

INSIDE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
— Public accounting had absolutely no interest in me even though a) I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) I had become a licensed CPA, c) I had earned four other job-related professional certifications, d) I had earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, e) I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, and f) I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year a) because I was “too old” (30) when I passed the CPA examination and b) because I am not minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly call for increasing state pensions. Beyond overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes do not have pensions and they have used my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension against me big time as well as the 72% federal health insurance subsidy that my wife and I get. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years and I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. Further, my Social Security is dramatically reduced because I get a CSRS pension.

In 2010, in my role as TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, I conducted a candidate forum for IRP National Committeeman that Roeser participated in.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2010/04/17/gop-outsider-roeser-now-wants-in/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After decades as the sharp-tongued, angry outsider of Illinois Republican politics, conservative businessman Jack Roeser is trying to get on the inside. He’s given $50,000 to the state GOP. He’s seeking a leading role as the Illinois liaison to the Republican National Committee. And he’s even agreed to help with a big fundraiser honoring statewide Republican candidates, including a man he vilified before the February primary, U.S. Senate nominee Mark Kirk. Ask the 86-year-old Roeser to explain the sudden change of heart, and he cites new party leadership and a desire to stop the circular firing squad the Illinois GOP had become. “Very simply, the Republican Party is very different than it was a short while ago,” said Roeser, the wealthy founder of Otto Engineering, a Carpentersville manufacturing firm.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: SALT LAKE CITY – One of the responsibilities of Republican delegates from Cache County at the upcoming statewide convention on April 27 will be selecting a committeeman and committeewoman to represent Utah on the Republican National Committee. In addition to deciding which GOP candidates do or don’t make it to the June statewide primary and the November election, delegates will also chose between six candidates for RNC committeeman and two candidates for RNC committeewoman. Those candidates for RNC committeeman are Ty Jensen, a candidate in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District; author and climate scientist William Pekny; Dustin Kearl, a certified public accountant and financial consultant; businessman Michael Pierce; entrepreneur Brad Bonham; and David Yonan of Ogden. The candidates for RNC committeewoman are Teena Horlacker, a distance educator for the Western Governor’s University, and Kim Coleman, a former member of the Utah Legislature. The primary role of delegates is to represent their precincts in selecting candidates for the primary and general elections, according to Cache GOP chair Geoff Cox. They will also need to exercise sound judgment in determining the fitness and fidelity to Republican principles of the aforementioned candidates for the national GOP committee. According to the agenda for its convention, the Utah GOP’s state delegates will begin gathering at the Salt Palace Convention Center starting at 7 a.m. for credentialing. They are scheduled to begin considering nominating candidates for multi-county elections, including several state school board, state House and state Senate races at 8 a.m. Throughout the afternoon, delegates will also hear speeches and vote on candidates for state-level races, including nominations for state auditor, attorney general and the governor. The goal of the RNC is to officially nominate and confirm candidates for president and vice president; adopt a comprehensive party platform; unify the party; and publicize and launch the fall campaign. The high-profile Republicans who will fill the roles of chair and vice chair of the RNC have already been chosen. Michael Whatley, a North Carolina Republican who has echoed President Donald Trump’s charges of a voter fraud in the 2020 election, has been selected as the party’s new national chairman. He will be assisted by Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, as co-chair.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois Republicans grapple with mail voting amid mixed signals from Trump. ‘We have to adapt’ A greater share of Chicago area Republicans cast their ballots by mail in March compared to the 2022 primary, but they were still vastly outpaced by Democrats in utilizing a voting system that has become increasingly popular. – Mitchell Armentrout (COMMENT: I contacted 14 registered Republican voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton who had requested mail-in ballots, but the election commission had no record of their receipt as the March 19, 2024 election approached.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/democracy/2024/04/26/vote-by-mail-republicans-illinois-donald-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While rallying his political troops last summer in Springfield heading into the primary campaign season, Illinois Republican Party chairman Don Tracy highlighted some of his top priorities to help the party regain a foothold in the Democratic-dominated state. “We’ve got to embrace early voting and voting by mail,” Tracy said at the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee & County Chairmen’s Association breakfast in August. “Democrats have won too many close elections on the strength of their vote-by-mail programs.” Tracy said such vote-banking “needs to be the focus of every campaign in every county and township throughout the state” — no small order for a party led by former President Donald Trump, who has routinely sown mistrust for mail-in voting since he lost his 2020 reelection bid. . .The state GOP chairman has downplayed the possibility of Trump’s unfounded fraud claims discouraging Illinois voters from signing up for mail ballots, noting that Trump has embraced it as he tries to retake the Oval Office from President Joe Biden. “ABSENTEE VOTING, EARLY VOTING, AND ELECTION DAY VOTING ARE ALL GOOD OPTIONS,” Trump wrote in a social media post last week. “REPUBLICANS MUST MAKE A PLAN, REGISTER, AND VOTE!” On the biggest stages, though, Trump has regularly fallen back on the myths of rampant voter fraud that he’s claimed denied him a second term. “Mail-in voting has to be totally corrupt. Get that through your head,” Trump said at a Michigan rally in February. “I mean, it has to be.” The FBI and other authorities have confirmed there was no widespread mail voter fraud or any other interference in the 2020 election. While Tracy and other establishment Illinois Republicans have kept Trump’s lies about election fraud at arm’s length, they have suggested Democrats who hold all statewide offices and supermajorities in the General Assembly aren’t committed to preventing ballot-box shenanigans. “We want to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat. Democrats want it to be easy no matter what. They loosen voter integrity rules every chance they get,” Tracy said, pointing to Democratic rejection of voter ID requirements. Republican leaders have also argued state laws that have expanded mail voting eligibility since 2020 “remove important election safeguards” — but they agree their opponents across the aisle have left them in the dust when it comes to voter registration and mail ballot sign-up efforts. “Look at the model of what Democrats have done over the years,” said former Illinois House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, a Republican from Western Springs who stepped down last year. “They have been incredibly successful at registering and mobilizing voters. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Republicans up 3 to 4 points on Election Day, and everyone is thrilled until — ‘whoa, whoa, there are still mail ballots out.’ Then there’s a flip, and we continue to be on the losing side,” said Durkin, a vocal opponent of Trump. “It took Republicans a while to see this is where elections are won and lost,” he said. “It’s here to stay. It’s in every state, whether you like it or not, and you have to deal with it.”)

— The more of the following that you are and the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more reparations that Democrats and RINOs will force you to pay: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American. I am all of the aforesaid. In my defense, while my ancestors have been in America since 1844, they have always lived in northeast Illinois.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hundreds of thousands of people in Illinois could see their medical debt eliminated. . .About 100 million people across the country are burdened with medical debt. In Illinois, around 14 percent of the state’s population has medical debt in collections. . .A plan included in the proposed budget aims to tackle those expensive medical bills. For the upcoming fiscal year, the proposed budget would set aside $10 million to get rid of $1 billion in medical debt for nearly 340,000 low income people. It would be part of a four year plan to wipe $4 billion in medical debt for more than one million people in Illinois. . .A program like the one the governor proposed in his budget is already in place in Cook County. They’ve been able to get rid of nearly $350 million in medical debt for about 200,000 people.)

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/16/trump-hush-money-trial-jury-selection-day-two-00152704
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a fitting move for a defendant whose public persona has been crafted in large part by his social media behavior, Trump’s lawyers have mined the depths of prospective jurors’ social media accounts for potential signs of bias in their years-old comments and memes. Several of them were cut on Tuesday after the judge examined their prior posts. Merchan dismissed one man after Trump lawyer Todd Blanche presented a social media post in which the juror wrote, “Good news!! Trump lost his court battle on his unlawful travel ban!!!” along with a suggestion to “lock him up.” In other instances, however, Merchan refused Blanche’s effort to kick off certain prospective jurors, including one whose husband shared a post suggesting that the comic book team “The Avengers” unite against Trump. Though Trump himself said little during the day’s events, he earned himself his first reprimand from Merchan. “Your client was audibly uttering something,” Merchan told Blanche after he had finished questioning a prospective juror. “I won’t tolerate that,” Merchan said. “I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear.” Merchan instructed Blanche to tell Trump to stop his antics. As Merchan spoke, Trump sat slumped in his seat, as though he were sitting in a lounge chair.)

JOHN KASS
— Joe the Faint Hearted – Steve Huntley
https://johnkassnews.com/joe-the-faint-hearted/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Virtually all the media assert that Israel is becoming ever more isolated in its war against Hamas. What goes unmentioned is a major reason for that: Israel’s closest ally is headed by a man who doesn’t have the courage to stand up forcefully and eloquently in defense of the Jewish state’s righteous battle to defend itself against an Islamist terrorist militia. The president of the United States often is called the most powerful man in the world. But has that exalted office ever been occupied by a weaker individual than Joe Biden? Inept, ineffectual, inconsistent, incoherent, anxious, fearful, vacillating, weak and wrong — the dictionary is packed with words for failure to characterize the record of this perhaps ever-more senile old man and his faint-hearted administration.)

When conservatives do this everywhere, we’ll start winning everywhere. . .The most effective phone calls to public servants are made by precinct committeemen or those truthfully saying they will become precinct committeemen. . .The GOP.com website contains zero information regarding why and how to become a voting member of your local Republican committee, how to find your local Republican committee and, whether, when you become a voting member of your local committee, there’s a communications and collaboration platform in existence on which precinct committeemen can easily communicate and collaborate regarding reaching their Republican Party goals.)

But outrageously, disgustingly, unethically, if not criminally, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 arguing that the courses a) were not related to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) qualified me for a “new trade or business.” They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my positions descriptions.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrats make it ever-increasingly clear that they will get rid of you once and for all if you do not promote LGBTQ. I should write a book about the following who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I oppose the promotion of LGBTQ: past and present 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 and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued.

— 5 Hot Jobs for MBA Graduates – Sarah Wood (COMMENT: As I stated in my Loyola Graduate School of Business application in 1971 when I was a 22 years old new IRS employee, I wanted to take graduate business evening courses because that was what my IRS employee manual encouraged me to do. But outrageously, disgustingly, unethically, if not criminally, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 arguing that the courses a) were not related to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) qualified me for a “new trade or business.” They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my positions descriptions. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran.)

— A Definition Of Career Success And Why So Few People Ever Experience It. – Terina Allen (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, if you are a federal employee in a job that requires a college degree, you are failure if you do not make GS-13 ($115,439) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40. But extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My critics/opponents stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and never made GS-14. They use against me the fact a) that I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) that I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) that I earned a job-related professional license when I was 31. They ignore/dismiss/belittle the fact that I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40.)

— Wealthy Parents Are Spending $750,000 to Get Kids Into Harvard, Yale – Francesca Maglione and Paulina Cachero (COMMENT: How wealthy are/were your parents? Because my parents lacked money, I had to do the following to have money to buy cars and to pay for college: I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, 1971, and 1972, e) delivered mail 1966-1969, and f) worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. Because I spent all that time working instead of studying, a) my GPA suffered, b) I majored in management instead of accounting, c) I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, and c) I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, it was too late for me to have a successful career in accounting.)

My Democrat GAO never promoted me beyond GS-13 even after I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, became a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant, and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. They would have promoted me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran.)

FAST COMPANY
— Nearly 40% of U.S. employees don’t trust their coworkers – STEPHANIE VOZZA (COMMENT: Virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats who destroyed Republicans to advance themselves. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who had the most demographics that vote for Republicans including White, male, older, German American, married, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. Because they had those demographics, they were under even more pressure to destroy Republicans.)

— Change your mindset to avoid being layoff – STEPHANIE VOZZA (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. What would I have had to do to avoid that? Became a Democrat. Happily given even more preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Helped them get rid of their few remaining Republican employees. Not make my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates “look bad” by earning more job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses than they had.)

FED MANAGER
— Reports Highlight Successes, Challenges in Hiring Disabled Workers into Federal Government (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, all the employees who they assigned me to supervise were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, had performance problems, and/or were employees who they wanted to get rid of.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Fixing Veterans’ Preference Can Fix Federal Hiring – Angela Bailey and Jeffrey Neal (COMMENT: I am ashamed to say that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they used that against me big time to turn my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me who were veterans. They stressed what I would not have been able to do the following as soon or if ever if I had not avoided the draft: a) buying new cars (1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, and 1978), b) going on vacations to Florida (1969 and 1970), c) earning college degrees (1970, 1976, 1980), d) buying real estate (1972, 1974, 1976, 1980, 1984), e) going on vacations to the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamacia, and Hawaii (1973-1976), f) getting married (1979), g) earning professional certifications (1979 and 1981), h) earning a professional license (1981), i) etc.)

WORLD RECORD ACADEMY
— World’s Youngest CPA, world record set by James “Jimmy” Chilimigras (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. But because I am a White male, employers saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. I should write a book about that.)

— Pritzker touts proposal to purchase $1 billion in medical debt (COMMENT: What has helped you avoid medical debt? For me, it has always been having a job that provides medical insurance. For me, those jobs were Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. Further, as a federal retiree since 1997, the federal government continues to pay 72% of my and my wife’s medical insurance.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/pritzker-touts-proposal-to-purchase-1-billion-in-medical-debt/3401005/
— Plan would convert some Loop office buildings into affordable housing (COMMENT: Back in the good old days, back in 1974 when I was 25 years old, when my IRS salary was $97,079/year in today’s dollars, I could afford to buy a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building so I could walk to work without having to sell my town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. However, if I had to sell that town home, I would have had to sell it at a loss. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728 in 1971, $66,942 in 1972, and $80,994 in 1973. Of course, according to my critics/opponents I was grossly overpaid and promoted far too fast. In my defense, I completed four graduate evening business courses a year at Loyola in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1975. Further, I successfully completed a major developmental assignment during 1973 and 1974.)

— Chicago honors Vietnam veterans with restored memorial (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used the tragic death of my Crete-Monee High School classmate Charles Gattis ( https://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/18083/CHARLES-M-GATTIS-JR/page/2/ ) against me the most. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. Gattis died on July 5, 1967 from injuries he suffered in his first deployment in Quang Tri province. My critics/opponents stressed that unlike Gattis who enlisted, I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. When Gattis died, I was working for the Park Forest Post Office, earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension, and driving a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. My critics/opponents stressed that I paint myself as being conservative, Republican, and patriotic. They stressed that because of my health problems, if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. I could not run because I had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. They painted me as being a big coward and a big hypocrite. They stressed that because I avoided the draft, I was able to buy a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 and that I drove that Charger from NIU to Florida for spring breaks in 1969 and 1970. They called me “Daytona Dave.” The Vietnam War did not end until April 30, 1975. Prior to then, while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I bought a new 1972 Covette in 1971. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974. I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, in 1974. I completed 13 graduate evening business courses at Loyola. I went on vacations to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaica.)

— Immigration advocates use the bridge collapse to stress that immigrants take bad jobs, jobs that Americans fail/refuse to take. I took bad jobs. To have money to buy cars and to pay for college expenses, I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, e) delivered mail 1966-1969, and f) worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. If I still would have gotten those jobs, my salaries would have been lower because illegals drive salaries down for bad jobs.)

— ‘708’ mental health taxing boards: Are Illinois voters schizoid or just depressed? – Mark Glennon
https://wirepoints.org/708-mental-health-taxing-boards-are-illinois-voters-schizoid-or-just-depressed-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why would anybody in Illinois vote to create a new taxing authority to add to property tax bills? With property taxes being the second highest among the states and with polls consistently saying they are a top voter concern, you wouldn’t think such a thing could pass in a referendum anywhere the state. But many Illinois townships and counties vote to do just that, creating what are called “708 boards.” The boards are specifically empaneled to address local mental health needs and can only be created by local voter referendums. Some 90 of them now exist, according to a group called Advocate for 708. Proponents say they help fill gaps in available mental health services. Panel members are appointed by township or county boards, which also approve grants. The 708 boards are taxing jurisdictions with their own power to levy a local property tax of up to 0.15% of assessed value. The cap is set by state law. That’s typically a small amount for an average homeowner, supporters say – “less than the price of a weekly cup of coffee ($1.85),” according to Advocate for 708. Illinois, however, is already notorious for the number of different units of government it has – 8,923 by one count – far more than any other state. A new 708 panel means another line item on property tax bills.)

They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat and especially if I had been a minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

Better yet, I should sue them.)

— These Are The Highest-Paying Jobs That Don’t Require a College Degree. – John Mullinix (COMMENT: What have you done to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. My critic/opponents stress that notwithstanding the aforesaid, I never earned more than $150,075/year in today’s dollars. They use that to hint/imply/argue/shout that I never earned more because I am a “bad person” if not a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and/or even worse things. They stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)
