https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-10-23/devin-nunes-donald-trump-truth-social-california-congress-robin-abcarian
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve followed Nunes’ career as an ultra-litigious Trump defender who is afflicted by a world-class intolerance for perceived slights. Before taking the helm of Trump Media in 2022, Nunes had a master’s degree in agriculture but little hands-on business experience. He was involved in his family’s San Joaquin Valley dairy farm decades ago; when he was 14, he has recounted, he bought seven head of young cattle to raise and sell. I guess this explains his tolerance for the, ah, stench of MAGA bull. Given his disdain for media in general and free speech in particular, as evidenced by a series of lawsuits against news organizations and other critics, putting Nunes in charge of a fledgling media empire was a bizarre move — unless the company is all about cozying up to the deep-pocketed sort of people who would benefit from a second Trump administration. According to documents obtained by ProPublica, an unnamed Trump Media whistleblower recently asked the company’s board of directors to fire Nunes. One person with knowledge of the situation told ProPublica that the complaint alleged “misuse of funds, hiring of foreign contractors and interfering with product development.” (A Trump Media spokesperson denied the charges and accused the nonprofit journalism organization of a campaign to damage the company.))

JONATHAN TURLEY
— University of Illinois Accounting Professor Li Zhang is under fire this week after warning students about their “unconscious and unintentional biases” against women and minorities before they completed their evaluations.
https://jonathanturley.org/2024/12/14/unconscious-and-unintentional-biases-university-of-illinois-professors-issues-discrimination-warning-to-students-before-they-complete-her-evaluations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A student objected to the “passive-aggressive” nature of the email: [T]his announcement can be interpreted in two ways: 1) It implies that I am a bigot, incapable of providing honest feedback without my opinions being negatively influenced by the professor’s race or sex. It suggests that any negative feelings I have towards the professor or the course are more influenced by personal, subjective feelings regarding race and sex than by any objective facts. 2) It suggests that I should provide high evaluation scores, regardless of my actual feelings, in order to atone for past actions taken by others. Both interpretations are unacceptable and represent a passive-aggressive method to artificially inflate course evaluation scores. This approach is highly unprofessional and creates an “othering” effect, implying that white males are incapable of making objective decisions that are not influenced by race or sex.)

FORD FOUNDATION
— For generations, the United States of America has been built on a pact: secure a job, commit to it, and ensure a stable life. Yet for millions of workers, this promise is dissolving. (COMMENT: I was a wage earner 1964-1997. My critics/opponents look down on wage earners, if not despise wage earners. They have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a Job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college degree, and who got them jobs.)
https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/stories/fighting-for-a-just-economy-workers-lead-the-way/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across every sector, jobs are becoming increasingly precarious. Gig work, temporary positions, and subcontracted roles are replacing traditional employment, leaving workers with unpredictable incomes, erratic schedules, and a lack of benefits. This instability breeds anxiety, disrupts families, and creates a sense of expendability, ultimately destabilizing entire communities and creating a race to the bottom economy. This rise of precarious work is no accident. Decades of policies prioritizing corporate profits over worker protections have eroded job security and weakened worker power. By design, this uncertainty leaves workers vulnerable and less likely to demand their rights, individually and collectively.)

https://abc7chicago.com/post/towering-concerns-arise-aurora-air-traffic-control-center-staffing-effect-travel-chicago-airports-after-hearing/15648283/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Government Accountability report says things are getting worse, not better. “This is completely unacceptable. Air traffic facilities and radars need improvements,” Texas Senator Ted Cruz said. “Based on FAA data, the reliability of the FAA’s radar fleet is declining. The United States should be a leader in aviation technology. Sadly, this is often not the case.” “The modernization of existing air traffic management infrastructure in the United States continues to fall behind peer countries and is straining from the continued operations and growth of conventional airspace users,” said Marc Scribner, Senior Transportation Policy Analyst for the Reason Foundation. “There is no easy answer or quick fix. A snap of Iron Man’s fingers cannot fix this,” said Kevin Walsh with the Government Accountability Office. “This will be the work of many years and billions of dollars.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/12/senate-social-security-expansion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Senate is pushing toward a vote on legislation that would provide full Social Security benefits to millions of people, setting up potential passage in the final days of the lame-duck Congress. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday he would begin the process for a final vote on the bill, known as the Social Security Fairness Act, which would eliminate policies that currently limit Social Security payouts for roughly 2.8 million people. Schumer said the bill would “ensure Americans are not erroneously denied their well-earned Social Security benefits simply because they chose at some point to work in their careers in public service.” The legislation passed the House on a bipartisan vote, and a Senate version of the bill introduced last year gained 62 cosponsors. But the bill still needs support from at least 60 senators to pass Congress. It would then head to President Biden.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Whatever Happened at West Point, It’s Not Good (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. Based on how my Democrat GAO superiors treated me, my Democrat IRS superiors demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me. Of course, they stressed that they had a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I had a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/whatever-happened-at-west-point-its-not-good/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As I see it, there are only two explanations for West Point’s having falsely informed a journalist that Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, not only didn’t get in to West Point but never “even applied there.” Those options are that West Point lied or that West Point is incompetent. Neither is good. I find it hard to believe that West Point would deliberately lie about such a thing. I also find it hard to believe that its staff would be so lazy or inept as to screw something like this up by mistake. This was not some random inquiry; it was connected to an extremely consequential political decision, and related to the reputation of a high-profile figure who, if he is accepted by the Senate, will soon occupy one of the most important jobs in the United States. That being so, how is it possible that West Point did not make one hundred percent sure that it was correct in its denial? Frankly, I’d be somewhat surprised if at least someone at West Point hadn’t preemptively looked into this after the nomination was made public. If I worked there, I think I would have. At the very least, a higher-up ought to have instructed all staff to make absolutely sure they were correct when dealing with inquiries of this sort. In all likelihood, we’ll never know what happened. What we can say, however, is that this incident has probably helped Hegseth’s chances of being confirmed.)

— What motivates your critics/opponents to work against you the most? For me, it is my promoting the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, my fighting against race and gender based preference giving, that is, my fighting against reverse discrimination and age discrimination. My critics/opponents benefit from that discrimination, want to benefit from that discrimination, and/or want to curry favor with those who benefit from that discrimination or want to benefit from it. They blame me for the problems that minorities and females have and have had. My Democrat superiors in the federal government blamed me for the problems that my many subordinates had who were minority and/or female. RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois blame me for the problems that minority and female Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have and have had since 2000. They attribute all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities and females. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, an/or who got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

— Lawmakers must continue to fight anonymous litigation funding. ‘Tort tax’ equals $3,621 per household. (COMMENT: I have been in lots of civil litigation as a plaintiff. My critics/opponents despise/hate plaintiffs in civil litigation. I should write about the civil litigation I have been in. I would focus on those defendants and their attorneys who continue to punish me.)

— Law enforcement bulletin provides insight into possible motive in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate me the most because the federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, I worked for the Democrats who run the federal government for almost 30 years to get that benefit.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/10/luigi-mangione-law-enforcement-bulletin-provides-i/
(COMMENT: The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said. Luigi Nicholas Mangione wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of his hand-written notes and social media posts. Prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family back to New York to face a murder charge while new details emerged about his life and how he was captured.)

NATIONAL REVIEWS
— The Affirmative Action Fight Comes to High Schools ICOMMENT: I was not viewed as being college material. In my defense, I have always had to stress that I graduated in the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class in 1966 ( https://cretemoneehighschool.org/class-of-1966.html ).)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/12/the-affirmative-action-fight-comes-to-high-schools/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yesterday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case against Boston’s School Committee. But the underlying issue will not be going away. Like many major cities, Boston runs special high schools for high-ability students, known there as “exam schools.” And like their counterparts elsewhere, Boston’s education officials have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that Asian and white kids disproportionately test into these schools while black and Hispanic children are underrepresented.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History. Under President Biden, more than two million immigrants per year have entered, government data shows. (COMMENT: If there had been as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. Those jobs enabled me to a) buy used cars in 1964 and 1971, b) buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc. c) pay for my college expenses, d) buy real state in 1972, 1974, 1976, and 1978 and have a home built in 1984, e) get married in 1978, f) etc. Employers want cheap labor. My critics/opponents have never had to compete against cheap immigrant labor.)

— How Old Is Too Old to Be President? Democrats Still Don’t Want to Say. (COMMENT: The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out, that is, age discrimination, to get rid of their Republican employees who are White, male, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They have make GS-13 ($115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900/year) by age 40.

Since 2000, they have used against me a) my supporting candidates in primaries who they reject and b) my promoting planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. Since the 1980s, they have used against me a) my opposition to things that Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois officials have wanted and b) my suing them. I should write about my critics/opponents.

https://townhall.com/columnists/marklewis/2024/12/07/why-are-politicians-so-weak-n2648737
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But, by and large, politicians are weak creatures because they are afraid of offending too many people. And it is all because their first concern—every politician’s—is power. They love it. They worship it. They lust for it. They live for it. They’ll do anything they can to get it and hold onto it. And if that means compromising justice, the law, and the well-being of the people, they’ll do it. They are weak; they will sacrifice virtue and character for any disgusting cause, and they are rarely strong enough to stand up and defend what is truly noble, righteous, and virtuous.)

NBC NEWS
— Democrats and Republicans in Congress worried that Gabbard might leak information to Syria (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. To keep me off of audits of IRS, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors stressed the adverse actions that my Democrat IRS superiors had taken against me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they had never promoted me beyond GS-12. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid adverse actions, I could not be objective concerning IRS and that I would want to punish IRS. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the codes of professional conduct that I was under because of my six professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997) and my professional license (CPA-1981). I always agreed that I should not be assigned to audits that directly involved my IRS superiors who took the aforesaid adverse actions against me. My Democrat and GAO superiors succeed in keeping me off audits of IRS until 1986. But then they again succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988. They wasted what I had learned about IRS by working for it for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Americans’ Cars Keep Getting Older—and Creakier. Drivers are skimping to save a few bucks. That could mean bigger bills down the road and a rebound for parts and service companies. (COMMENT: My oldest car is 53 years old, a 1972 Corvette. My second oldest car is 29 years old, a 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX. My third oldest car is 19 years old, a 2005 Corvette. They continue to run just fine.)
https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/americans-used-cars-age-repairs-c3fe7dca
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This should be the best of times for the people who help keep America’s cars running. There have never been as many on the road—around 290 million light vehicles—and they have never been so old. One reason for that is good news: They are better made. Getting the odometer past 100,000 miles has gone from being noteworthy to normal. Thirty years ago the average passenger car was about 8.4 years old and today that is 13.6 years. Less good: Pinched by inflation, higher interest rates and supply-chain woes, Americans just haven’t been buying as many new vehicles lately. The four-year rolling average of annualized sales is about 15.5 million, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. On the eve of the Covid-19 pandemic it was 17.7 million.)

Under him, GAO shrank from over 6,000 employees to under 3,000. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was.

They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I paint the candidates in my newsletters as being far more conservative than they are and that causes them to lose elections and b) that I include links to articles in my newsletters that they do not like.

— The Fall of DEI: How President Trump Ushers in a Merit-Based Future (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who 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. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

My Republican critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. They are Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, if not Republican-haters. I should write about my Republican critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the biggest adverse actions against me lately.).

— Employers want immigrants because employers want cheap labor. Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. According to all my Democrat employers, including GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, I was grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a job-related professional license in 1981.

I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, and I graduated in the upper 20% of my class.

I had worked for IRS since 1971. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had to work my way through college. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)

— What should your Republican Precinct Committeeman’s top priority be now? Of course, it should be helping elect as many Republican candidates as possible on the April 1, 2025 ballot in their precinct. It would be great if county clerks would publish now draft sample ballots for each of their precincts. – Dave Diersen

— What were the biggest education decisions that you made? For me, they include a) getting accepted by UIC in 1966 and majoring in business, b) getting accepted by NIU in 1969, majoring in management, and earning a bachelor’s degree in 1970, c) getting accepted by Loyola in 1972, majoring in personnel management, and earning an MBA in 1976, d) getting accepted by DePaul in 1976, majoring in accounting, and earning a master’s degree in 1980, and e) getting accepted by IIT in 1992, majoring in financial markets and trading, and earning a master’s degree in 1997. What were the biggest professional decisions that you made? For me, they include a) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt which I did in 1979, b) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 which I did, c) becoming a licensed CPA which I did in 1981, and d) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, all of the aforesaid which I did. What were the biggest employment decisions that you made? For me, they include a) to become a part-time postal employee in 1966, b) to become a Firestone Store Retail Sales Manager in 1970, c) to become an IRS Revenue Officer in 1971, and d) to become a GAO Analyst in 1980. One could compare and contrast the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made with the decisions that my critics/opponents made. My critics/opponents ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Five things to make the Air Force, which has struggled with wokeness, recruitment, and declining standards, great again. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency ever-increasingly declined. The agency ever-increasingly dumped meritocracy. Its top priority ever-increasingly became hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my work experience, my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/11/lets-make-the-air-force-academy-soar-once-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether it’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stating in a congressional hearing that he hopes to understand his “white rage,” or an official memorandum about establishing “aspirational” race and sex quotas for officers, it’s clear that partisan ideology has supplanted competency as the defining attribute of our current military’s leaders. Nowhere has this leftward shift been more apparent than at the United States Air Force Academy and its newfound obsession with indoctrinating cadets in woke, anti-American ideology.

There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot. What information would you like to get from your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? I will be hand-delivering to the “hard-Rs” in my precinct the aforesaid information plus information on the upcoming December 3 MTRO Caucus and the April 1 local election.)

WGN RADIO
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hates say that “Republicans don’t have a mandate.” Illinois RINO leaders reject not only Trump, they reject the Republican Party platform. Those RINOs stress that while Trump got 2.4 million votes in Illinois, Harris got 3 million. Those RINOs stress that while Trump got 191,000 votes in DuPage County, Harris got 251,000. Those RINOs want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to officially become the Illinois Democrat Lite Party. Those RINOs want the IRP to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump the base of the IRP. Anticipate/expect that those RINOs will ever-increasingly destroy those who support the Republican Party platform and destroy the IRP.

— If you were me, what would you do to encourage the following to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists? Since 2000, many of the aforesaid have taken many big adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out my newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them. They blame me and they blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— All my employers were run by Democrats. QUESTION: Why did they gamble and lose that I would become a Democrat? ANSWER: Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My parents rejected leaving the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod. I was not viewed as being college material. I had to work my way through college. My Democrat superiors knew that I wanted to advance my career and they knew that I knew that you have to be a Democrat to advance your career. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How would your life been different if you had been a Democrat? If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors would not have taken the many big adverse actions against me that they did notwithstanding my being White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, my living in Crete 1948-1972 and my living in Wheaton since 1978. Instead, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. I say that a) because I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) because I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 44, 47, and 48, and c) because I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Politics is nasty/vicious. Government is nasty/vicious. What is your hometown? My hometown is Crete. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I should write a book about my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned Crete the most as having been full of German American Lutherans while I lived there who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. They stress that I am 100% German American and that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran while I lived in Crete. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. QUESTION: What will it take to make the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) start defending and advancing the Republican Party platform? ANSWER: Direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. My many critics/opponents in the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have always vehemently opposed direct election of IRP SCC members. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me because I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. – Dave Diersen

— Uncounted mail-in ballots could be deciding factor in tight DuPage County races
https://www.nctv17.org/news/uncounted-mail-in-ballots-could-be-deciding-factor-in-tight-dupage-county-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Jean Kaczmarek, there are still approximately 18,000 outstanding mail-in ballots left to count. “The processing of the mail ballots is still ongoing and will continue over the next two weeks…There are a couple of races that are tight. Any candidate that is within two percentage points difference can ask for a recount, and that’s their right,” said Kaczmarek. Taking a closer look at some of those tight races in which Naperville voters weighed in: Currently incumbent Democrat William “Bill” White is holding a 2,715 vote lead over challenger Bob Grogan in the race for auditor. In the race for coroner, Democrat Judith Lukas has a slightly larger lead over incumbent Republican Richard Jorgensen, with 5,388 more votes. For the District 3 county board seat, incumbent Democrat Lucy Chang Evans holds a 2,702 vote lead over Republican Baron Leacock. The District 5 county board seat has wider margins, with Democrat Saba Haider with an 8,421 vote lead over incumbent Republican Patty Gustin. But there’s a closer divide for the District 6 county board seat, with Democrat incumbent Greg Schwarze 2,170 votes ahead of Republican challenger Joe Soto. And the tightest race of all is the District 6 Forest Preserve District of DuPage County seat, with Democrat Rick Gieser just 29 votes ahead of Republican incumbent Al Murphy. Official results for DuPage County races will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 19. “A week later, those results will be certified,” Kaczmarek said. DuPage County sees slight dip in voter turnout compared to 2020. DuPage County saw a 72.54% voter turnout for the 2024 general election, a decrease from the 76.55% turnout in 2020. The number of county residents utilizing vote-by-mail decreased from 177,730 in 2020 to 105,090 in 2024. But the number of in-person early voters in the county went up, with 210,419 this year compared to 190,964 in 2020.)

ILLINOIS GOP
— Pritzker Does Damage Control Amid Republican Shift in Illinois
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The “my people” who Pritzker refers to share his hatred against Trump and against those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Pritzker’s people want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— The Republican Party leaders of the states that surround Illinois defend and advance the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about Republican Party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How many voted for Trump in your precinct? While 370 voted for Trump in my precinct, 470 voted for Harris. What should I do to protect the Trump voters in my precinct from Pritzker? For that matter, what should the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your Republican county and township/ward party organizations do to protect Trump voters from Pritzker? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have tremendous power in Illinois. Because Trump has won the presidency, anticipate/expect that Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will destroy Trump voters in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct. They will stop Trump voters from being hired. They will get Trump voters fired. They will destroy companies and organizations run by Republicans. Anticipate/expect that they will start with Trump voters who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. What should Trump voters do to protect themselves? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— For the races on the ballot in your precinct, how many ballots are still not counted? 18,000 ballots are still not counted for the five countywide races on the ballot in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton including Grogan in the Auditor race who is losing only by 2,715 votes and Jorgensen in the Coroner race who is losing by only 5,388 votes. When the 18,000 ballots are counted, if Grogan gets 2,716 more votes than White, Grogan wins, and if Jorgensen gets 5,389 more votes than Lukas, Jorgensen wins. Further, Grant is winning by only 500 votes in the House District 47 race. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker The 59-year-old Illinois governor, a billionaire who is heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire, could easily fund a campaign for the White House and there were signs, after Biden’s disastrous debate earlier this year, that he was prepared to step up to the national stage. Pritzker is best known for signing a historic bill that will raise the minimum wage in Illinois to $15 per hour by 2025, for his action to hold gun manufacturers accountable for the gun violence caused by unsafe marketing practices, and for defending abortion rights in the state. This year, the governor signed multiple bills expanding reproductive rights in Illinois and his nonprofit group, Think Big America, hassled to help states with a ballot question on abortion rights move forward to advance their initiatives. These—gun safety, minimum wages, and abortion rights—are all issues likely to appeal to Democratic voters on the national level.)

Extremely few of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were conservative while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, and Post Office 1966-1969. Conservatives have not been the majority in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Illinois Republican Party at least since 1999.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was all shock and bewilderment on Harvard’s campus today as news circulated that former President Donald Trump had won back the White House. While Harvardians are still struggling to understand the win, their very confusion is entirely predictable. Of course we are shocked that Trump has won: we study at a single-party school. With just over five percent of Harvard’s Class of 2027 identifying as Republican according to the Crimson’s freshman survey, it’s hard to overstate how politically homogeneous our campus is. You’d probably have a better chance of finding a Republican at the Democratic National Convention than in Harvard Yard. It is possible that a Harvard undergraduate — especially in a progressive concentration — could go through an entire semester not engaging with a single conservative classmate or professor. And with critiques of Harvard’s free speech culture widespread, even when Republicans are represented in the classroom, it’s conceivable that their views might be stifled. This lack of exposure to truly diverse perspectives is antithetical to Harvard’s mission of educating “the citizens and citizen-leaders for our society.” The College has long understood this commitment to require diverse representation of those citizens — we even fought all the way to the Supreme Court to defend this ideal.)
