GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— I have been a Republican political consultant in Illinois since 2001. I served on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors 2001-2004. Before that, I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. Much of what GAO does and much of what I did was consulting. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What do you say to “Republican” political consultants in Illinois who advise Republican candidates in Illinois a) to fail/refuse to promise to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, immigration, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform, b) to run as Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican, c) to run if they are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or d) to not run if they are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time? – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— As Illinois Democrat leaders ever-increasing a) succeed in driving out of Illinois those who have demographics that vote for Republicans and b) succeed in attracting to Illinois those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, anticipate/expect that fewer and fewer and fewer candidates will run in Republican primaries and caucuses and that those who do run and win a) will increasingly fail/refuse to promise to defend and advance more and more and more planks in the Republican party platform, b) will increasingly run as Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican, c) will more likely to be Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs, d) will be minorities, females, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and/or have spouses who are the aforesaid and are running to get more and more and more preference for those who share their demographics, e) will be less and less and less qualified for the offices that they seek, f) will raise and spend less and less and less money for their campaigns, and g) will campaign less and less and less aggressively. The aforesaid ever-increasingly portends the dissolution of the Republican Party in Illinois. – Dave Diersen

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— In a series of clips published to the Trump War Room X account, Trump detailed his plan to Make Housing Affordable Again, an issue that many people especially younger Americans have struggled with in recent years. “Finally, I will save America’s suburbs by protecting single-family zoning. The Radical Left wants to abolish the suburbs by forcing apartment complexes and low-income housing into the suburbs right next to your beautiful house,” he said. Trump also pledged to end mortgages for illegal aliens as well as overtime pay taxes, allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4877506-laura-loomer-trump-criticism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Far-right activist Laura Loomer’s visible presence alongside former President Trump in recent days is sparking questions about her influence and a substantial amount of criticism from figures aligned with the GOP presidential nominee. Loomer is an outspoken Trump supporter who is known for spreading conspiracy theories and using racist rhetoric. She flew on Trump’s plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and was part of his entourage as he attended memorial events Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She does not have any official role with Trump’s campaign, multiple sources said. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch Trump ally, engaged in a heated and personal social media battle with Loomer over social platform X that began Wednesday night and carried into Thursday. Greene separately told reporters it would be a mistake to rely on Loomer for advice and that her rhetoric did not fit in with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters Wednesday, adding she was not privy to Trump’s conversations with Loomer. “I do know this, that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, it does not match MAGA, it does not match most Republicans I know,” Greene continued. “And I’m really denouncing it. I’m over it.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a strong ally of Trump in the Senate, on Thursday called out Loomer for racist comments about Vice President Harris, in which she used crude stereotypes to attack Harris’s Indian heritage. The remarks were also criticized by Greene. Graham said the remarks were “abhorrent” and noted Loomer also has made “disturbing” comments about Republicans. “I think that the president would serve himself well to make sure this doesn’t become a bigger story,” Graham told HuffPost. Loomer was spotted deplaning with Trump aides and family members Tuesday in Philadelphia ahead of the debate between the GOP nominee and Harris, and she was in the spin room that night. Some conservatives took note that Loomer was on the former president’s plane before the debate, during which Trump repeated a debunked claim shared by Loomer and others about migrants eating pets in an Ohio town. Loomer was again spotted with Trump’s crew when he visited a fire station in New York City to mark the anniversary of 9/11, and she posted video from his visit to Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed. When asked about Loomer’s presence at Wednesday’s events, a Trump campaign official said the day “wasn’t about anyone other than the souls who are no longer with us, their families, and the heroes who courageously stepped up to save their fellow Americans on that fateful day.” Trump attended a New York City memorial alongside President Biden and Harris that morning. Loomer was defiant Thursday as she found herself at the center of multiple articles and cable news segments. She said she does not work for Trump and claimed she was being targeted because of her work targeting politicians and media members. “I stand by everything I have said. I will not be deleting any tweets. I will not apologize for fighting for Donald Trump. I will not apologize for fighting for the truth and the American people,” Loomer posted on X. “The American people deserve people who fight instead of cowering in fear of the media,” she continued. “I don’t care about what they or any sellout member of Congress has to say about me.” This week was not the first time Trump has signaled he’s open to Loomer’s presence in his orbit. He congratulated her after she won a Florida House primary in 2020. Last year, Trump reportedly told advisers to give Loomer a campaign role for his White House bid. She ultimately did not join the campaign in any official capacity. Loomer has previously described Islam as a “cancer.” She was banned from ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft in 2017 after posting online that she “never want[s] to support another Islamic immigrant driver.” She was banned from then-Twitter after a series of anti-Muslim posts and was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform. Democrats, including the White House, blasted Loomer’s recent comments and argued Trump’s association with her should be a red flag for the American people. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday ripped Trump as a “conspiracy theory-peddling, racial arsonist and pathological liar.” He said Trump’s willingness to bring a conspiracy theorist like Loomer to a 9/11 event “should shock the conscience of all decent Americans.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Loomer’s most recent comments about Harris “repugnant” and “un-American.” “No leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness. This kind of racist poison … and who continues to fan these kinds of dangerous and insulting conspiracy theories,” she said.)
