ILLINOIS GOP
— PRESS RELEASE: One Year Later, ILGOP Continues to Stand with Israel. One year ago today, Israel and the Jewish People suffered their worst attack since the Holocaust. On October 7, 2023, thousands of men, women and children were kidnapped, raped or murdered. ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement saying, “We must never forget the brutal atrocities committed by barbaric terrorists against Israel. One year later, hostages, some American citizens, continue to be held in Gaza. The United States must continue to do everything possible to support our greatest ally in the Middle East. Illinois Republicans continue to stand firmly behind Israel and will continue to fight anti-semitism in our state.” Anti Semitic incidents in Illinois have reached record highs including assaults, vandalism and harassment. Over the past year, Democrat leaders have criticized, threatened and turned their back on Israel. Bottom Line: Illinois Republicans stand in solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people.

— Democrats say “What a Second Trump Term Would Mean for Chicago. As bad as things were the first time, brace yourself for even worse.” To get even more votes from Blacks, Democrat candidates will promise Blacks that they will use government give Blacks even more preference. In Chicago, Democrat candidates can stress how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate in 1997. They can stress how EEOC got Oldsmobile to stop hiring Whites to settle a complaint and how that caused Oldsmobile to withdraw a job offer that I had accepted in 1971.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many get involved in Republican politics for the wrong reasons. Far too many a) give money to Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders, b) become Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, c) become leaders of Republican organizations, and/or d) run for government offices as Republicans for the following wrong reasons. They are anti-conservative and want the Republican Party to strike planks from its platform that they reject, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. They want to get more preference for those who share their demographics. They are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs and want to destroy the Republican Party. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— DuPage County home valuation prices rose in July compared to the same period in 2023. (COMMENT: I have been watching home sales in DuPage County since 1978. Ever-increasingly, when homes owned by Republicans are sold in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct, they are bought by Democrats to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans have created in the aforesaid and to escape the poverty and crime that Democrats have created in Cook County and especially in Chicago. That drives up selling prices. But ever-increasingly, tragically, if not hypocritically, these Democrat home buyers continue to vote for Democrats. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime.)

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/gunman-behind-second-trump-assassination-attempt-has-extensive-criminal-history-traveled-to-ukraine-to-aid-war-effort/
— The Assimilation Crisis (COMMENT: How fast did your ancestors assimilate? All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany way back in the 1840s and 1850s. Their slow assimilation harmed me. All my grandparents spoke German. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. Consequently, because they lacked money, I had to work my way through college. Consequently, my GPA and ACT score suffered. Consequently, I did not get a job that required a college degree (IRS Revenue Officer) until 10 months after I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I would not have gotten that job if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination (FSEE) in 1970. I would not have taken the FSEE if I had not worked for the Post Office part-time 1966-1969. I had planned on a career in the automotive industry, but I took the FSEE as a backup. My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended abruptly in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boos rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted IRS’s job offer.)

— Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Americans ever-increasingly abuse drugs. I have never abused drugs and I never will. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1980, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, or a professional license in 1981. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980.

— What it means to have a ‘Black job’ in America. – CNN (COMMENT: Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates were Black. Many, most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents have never worked for Blacks, never worked with Blacks, or never supervised Blacks.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How much weight do you give the precinct letters that you receive from your Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC)? Sadly, a DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) leader who is a registered Republican voter (RRV) in my precinct angrily/rudely told me that she had thrown my April 2024 precinct letter ( https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/june-5-2024/ ) in her trash. In 2004, another DCRCC leader badmouthed me to another RRV in my precinct. That RRV complained about that to the RNC and the RNC reprimanded that DCRCC leader. Since I became a RPC in 1999, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DCRCC, and Illinois Republican Party who are anti-conservative and/or anti-direct election of IRP State Central Committee members have done everything that they could to discredit me and to get rid of me. MTRO got a RRV in my precinct to run against me for RPC in 2000. MTRO rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010. MTRO rudely refused to make me a delegate to the 2004 IRP State Convention. MTRO rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. MTRO, DCRCC, and/or IRP played big roles a) in almost getting the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, b) in ending my membership on the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007, c) in ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) in ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, and f) in ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. MTRO rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. IRP rudely removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. Ever-increasingly, the aforesaid MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP leaders blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I do to help elect a candidate, the fewer votes that candidate will get. In light of the aforesaid, what advice do you have for me concerning my precinct letter for the November 5, 2024 election? – Dave Diersen

While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, all their employees who they assigned me to supervise were many, if not most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid.

I was the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, a WCC GAC member 2003-2011, the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an ICRC officer 2003-2007, and an AAPC MC board member 2001-2004.)
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/08/04/jd-vance-has-some-words-for-kamala-harris-n2642939
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP Vice President candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) turned the tables around on Vice President Kamala Harris after she had been questioning his loyalty. Harris is someone who pulled the rug out from her boss after a successful “coup.”  During a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday with former President Donald Trump, Vance told Harris to “look in the mirror” to see “the face of disloyalty.” Harris played a significant role in ousting President Joe Biden, who critics say was the ringleader of the most significant political coverup in modern U.S. history.)

Her more than 300,000 “sorors” plan to play a large role in the November presidential election.” (COMMENT: When you were in college, were you a member of a fraternity or sorority? I was not. I had to work my way through college. My parents never attended college. I lived with them in Crete while took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I worked all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-sorority-aka-alpha-kappa-alpha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harris joined AKA as an undergraduate student at Howard in 1986. She has acknowledged the “major influence” AKA has had on her life, even since childhood, when her aunt, Christine Simmons, was initiated at Howard in 1950. When Harris ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020, many referred to the sorority as her “secret weapon.” And when Harris accepted the vice presidential nomination later that year, she made sure to acknowledge the sorority, saying, “Family is my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha … our Divine 9 … and my HBCU brothers and sisters.” Earlier this month, Harris delivered the keynote address at the AKA’s biennial national convention in Dallas. In her speech to over 20,000 members, Harris called fellow AKAs to action.)
— Democrats say “JD Vance thinks childless Americans have no stake in society.” Are you childless? My wife and I are childless. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me big time. I should write a book about them. They demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me big time a) because we gave up trying to have children without trying IVF even though they knew that our doctor had advised against it because we both had major fertility problems, b) because we did not adopt, and c) because we did not become foster parents. They crowed that they had children. They stressed that their wives had little or no income and that it cost lots of money to raise children. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981. They were furious a) that I went with my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, b) that we had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984, c) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, and d) that we saved lots of money for our retirement.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Governor Pritzker Treats Illinois Like a Stepping Stone
https://illinois.gop/governor-pritzker-treats-illinois-like-a-stepping-stone/
(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — As Democrats from across the country scramble to get into Vice President Kamala Harris’s good graces, JB Pritzker has joined the fray hitting the liberal national media circuit as the latest Governor to kiss the ring in a desperate attempt to leave his state for Washington.  Pritzker has made no secret that he has ambitions beyond *just* governing our state. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “No one is surprised that JB Pritzker is chomping at the bit to leave Illinois. He’s shown more interest in campaigning around the country this year than he has in reducing the tax burden that has made Illinois the least “tax friendly” state in the country and 2nd in the country for residents leaving. We welcome Vice President Harris considering Governor Pritzker, because his poor track record would all but guarantee our neighbors, Wisconsin and Michigan, swing Republican, as they’ve benefitted from the mismanagement of our state by an out of touch billionaire. He’s all yours, madam Vice President.”)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Pritzker says he wants to make Illinois the best state in the country for Blacks to sell pot. (COMMENT: Have you used pot? I have not used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, I doubt that I would have been able to a) earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) earn job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or d) earn a job-related professional license in 1981. S.S. Kresge, Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO would not have hired me in 1964, 1966, 1970, 1971, and 1980 respectively. I would not have been able to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1978, etc. I would not have been able to buy condos in 1972, 1974, or 1976. I would not have been able to a) get married and buy a home with my wife in Wheaton in 1978 , b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.)

JUDICIAL WATCH
— Pentagon DEI Budget Surges for Military-Wide Woke Training to Root out “White Privilege” (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI to get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job related bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license. I should write a book about that. Further, while I have served as a Republican Precinct Committeeman for the last 24+ years, RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to get rid of conservative committeemen, and especially those like me who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.judicialwatch.org/pentagon-dei-budget-surges-for-military-wide-woke-training-to-root-out-white-privilege/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon dedicates tens of millions of dollars annually to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the armed forces and cadets at the nation’s military academies receive extensive training about racism, sexism, unconscious bias, and intersectionality. A year-long research project conducted by a special commission at a public university think tank has uncovered the unbelievable details behind a costly Department of Defense (DOD) initiative to root out so-called white privilege white supremacy in the military. The study, conducted by the Center for American Institutions at Arizona State University (ASU), began as a review of civic education in the military and uncovered a fervent woke movement throughout the nation’s armed forces. “Our research team did not expect to find Critical Race Theory so embedded and pervasive,” the center’s director, Donald T. Critchlow, an ASU American political history professor, writes in the introduction of a recently published report. He confirms that there is CRT and DEI training across the military from the Pentagon through the ranks. It is important to note that the sole purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to defend the nation against external enemies, therefore the DOD’s mission is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the country’s security. The agency is the government’s largest with 3.4 million service members and civilians—in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard—stationed at 4,800 sites in over 160 countries. Under the Biden administration the DOD budget for DEI training has increased significantly from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86.5 million in fiscal year 2023, the report states. The agency is requesting a whopping $114.7 million for fiscal year 2024, according to DOD figures obtained by ASU researchers. “Training is implemented by a vast DEI bureaucracy that extends from senior leaders at the Pentagon to the lowest ranks,” the report says, adding that the “U.S. military now has a well-developed, taxpayer-funded DEI bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out ‘white privilege’ and white supremacy, and that allows for (and sometimes teaches) the overt criticism of the United States, its founding, its founders, and its founding documents, alleging that they are all rooted in systemic racism.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2024/07/26/donald-trump-is-right-about-jewish-voting-n2642512
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump for years has said that American Jews are voting against their interests. This time around, maybe things will finally change. Donald Trump tends to be blunt in his statements, and he has for years said that the American Jewish community is voting against its interests. And he is right. While orthodox Jews support Trump by well over 90 percent, the Orthodox make up a relatively small proportion of the overall Jewish community. And there is no question that the larger movements—Reform and Conservative—are far more liberal and left-leaning. Sixty-eight percent of American Jews voted for Biden over Trump in 2020. This is on the low side; the percentage of Jews voting Democratic has historically been higher.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Gunman who shot Trump opened fire from nearby rooftop, killed by agents
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/13/gunman-who-shot-trump-opened-fire-from-nearby-roof/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Authorities have not identified the gunman, but The New York Post identified him as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles south of the site of the campaign rally. The gunman had a rifle and opened fire from the roof of a building outside the campaign venue in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Agents returned fire, and photographs later showed law enforcement officers with the man’s body on the roof. At a midnight press conference, law enforcement authorities said the gunman was not carrying ID, and the FBI was still working to verify his identity. FBI agent Kevin Rojek said authorities do not yet have “an identified motive,” nor would he specify the type of gun used. Mr. Rojek also said authorities used “assets” to check “suspicious packages” near the shooter’s body after he was killed. State police said all three shooting victims at the rally were adult males. They did not provide identifications. A Trump supporter said he saw the man with a rifle crawling on top of the roof of a building behind the campaign rally stage. According to the eyewitness, as reported to the BBC, rally-goers outside the event spotted the man “bear crawling” across the roof, carrying a rifle. The witnesses frantically alerted law enforcement and were surprised when Mr. Trump was not immediately ushered from the stage. “We’re pointing at the guy, crawling up the roof,” the witness said. “He had a rifle, you could clearly see he had a rifle. I’m thinking to myself, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?” The witness said he alerted Secret Service on the roof to the crawling man with the rifle, but Mr. Trump was not removed from the stage. “The next thing you know, five shots rang out,” the witness said, adding he is “100%” certain the shots came from the rifle of the man crawling across the roof. Mr. Trump was struck on the right ear but survived and is reported to be “fine.” One rally attendee was killed and two others were critically injured, the Secret Service said.)

An online recording of his graduation ceremony shows him walking the stage to minimal applause and briefly posing with a school official, the New York Times reported. A search by Fox News Digital revealed Crooks would have turned 21 years old this September. He had no reported criminal or traffic citations and no reported bankruptcies, liens or foreclosures. Crooks was a registered Republican, according to voting records, but had only participated in the Nov. 8, 2022, state election due to his age.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/nation-world/2024/07/13/donald-trump-whisked-off-stage-in-pennsylvania-after-loud-noises-rang-through-the-crowd
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle at the scene, according to a third person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. An AP analysis of more than a dozen videos and photos from the scene of the Trump rally, as well as satellite imagery of the site, shows the shooter was able to get astonishingly close to the stage where the former president was speaking. A video posted to social media and geolocated by the AP shows the body of a person wearing gray camouflage lying motionless on the roof of a building at AGR International Inc., a manufacturing plant just north of the Butler Farm Show grounds where Trump’s rally was held. The roof where the person lay was less than 150 meters (164 yards) from where Trump was speaking, a distance from which a decent marksman could reasonably hit a human-sized target. For reference, 150 meters is a distance at which U.S. Army recruits must hit a scaled human-sized silhouette to qualify with the M-16 rifle. The AR-15, like the shooter at the Trump rally had, is the semi-automatic civilian version of the military M-16. Asked at the press conference whether law enforcement did not know the shooter was on the roof until he began firing, Kevin Rojek, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, responded that “that is our assessment at this time” “It is surprising” that the gunman was able to open fire on the stage before the Secret Service killed him, he added. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose department oversees the Secret Service, said officials were engaged with the Biden and Trump campaigns and “taking every possible measure to ensure their safety and security.”)

There’s no doubt people feel powerless against a powerful centralized government,” Ives said. . .“The deepening political divide is dangerous and any political violence is unacceptable,” McCombie said in a statement. “Gunshots cannot silence our collective need for change.)

YAHOO
— The FBI has named the man who shot Donald Trump as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old registered Republican from Pennsylvania. Crooks was reportedly wearing a t-shirt bearing the emblem of a pro-gun Youtube channel when he was killed on Saturday by a special forces sniper after firing three shots at the former US president. . .Reports said that heavily-armed US security agents have raided Crooks’ home in Bethel Park on the edge of Pittsburgh, roughly an hour’s drive south of Butler, the small and hard-up post-industrial town where he tried to kill Trump. The FBI said that Crooks was not carrying any identification when he made the assassination attempt and had to be identified using DNA samples. . .US security forces said that they had recovered an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle lying by Crook’s body. AR-15 semi-automatic rifles have been used in several mass shootings in the US and have become the focus of the gun debate. Photos also showed a member of the US security forces standing over Crooks’ body. Crooks was wearing beige cargo-style shorts and a grey T-shirt bearing the logo of a pro-gun Youtube channel called Demolition Ranch. A registered Republican  Videos and photos on the internet showed Crooks to be a tall, slender, white man who wore glasses and had long sandy-brown hair. Voter-registration data showed that Crooks was a registered Republican voter but on Jan 20, 2021, two weeks after pro-Trump alt-right supporters stormed the White House, Crooks gave $15 to a grassroots Democratic group. Crooks didn’t have a criminal record. A video showed him graduating from a local school in 2022 and winning a prize for math and science.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/possible-security-lapses-focus-after-trump-rally-shooting-2024-07-14/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican lawmakers said they would launch swift investigations into how a person managed to evade Secret Service agents and climb onto the roof of a building near where former U.S. President Donald Trump was speaking at an election rally and fire multiple shots before being killed. Mike Johnson, speaker of the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, said panels in the chamber will call officials from the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI for hearings soon. The House oversight panel called Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify on July 22. While information about the incident was still sparse, early media reports said the shooter was outside the security perimeter of the rally venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person interviewed by the BBC said he had seen the man with gun and tried unsuccessfully to alert police and the Secret Service.
Trump supporters blasted the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting Trump as a former U.S. president. Billionaire Elon Musk called for the agency’s leadership to resign. “How was a sniper with a full rifle kit allowed to bear crawl onto the closest roof to a presidential nominee,” asked conservative activist Jack Posobiec on social media site X. FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek, speaking at a press briefing, called the number of shots the attacker was able to fire “surprising.” The Secret Service did not have a representative in that press briefing late on Saturday, which included FBI and state law enforcement officials.
The Secret Service said shortly after the shooting that it has begun an investigation and briefed Democratic President Joe Biden, Trump’s rival in the Nov. 5 election, though the agency did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment regarding its protocols. The Pennsylvania State Police referred questions to the Secret Service. Ben Maser said he was outside the rally perimeter, listening to Trump, when he noticed two officers seemingly looking for someone. Maser, a 41-year old welder, started scanning the area too. “I saw the guy on the roof. I told the officer that he was up there. He went about looking for him,” said Maser. . .Paul Eckloff, a former Secret Service agent who retired in 2020, said agents would have surveyed all the rooftops with a line of sight ahead of time. “This person either concealed themselves until they became a threat, or were not a threat until they revealed their weapons,” said Eckloff.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: While law-enforcement officials haven’t given details on the shooting suspect’s identity or a motive—and former President Donald Trump has said so as well—some Republicans are already making unsubstantiated claims that President Biden is responsible for the incident at the Butler, Pa., rally. “Today is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” Sen. J.D. Vance (R., Ohio), who is considered a possible Trump running mate, posted on X. “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” Vivek Ramaswamy, who competed against Trump in the 2024 Republican primaries, made a similar claim. “First they sued him. Then they prosecuted him. Then they tried to take him off the ballot,” he wrote on X. “Biden’s inevitable ritual condemnation of political violence today (when it comes) will be insufficient and irrelevant. No amount of verbiage today changes the toxic national climate that led to this tragedy.” A handful of Republican lawmakers posted similar comments on social media, insinuating political motivations and blaming Biden, who condemned the incident in a speech from Delaware and said he had reached out to Trump directly. Local law-enforcement officials and the Secret Service said they are investigating the incident but have so far released few details.)

Republicans in this state are united behind President Trump and understand that the Biden/Pritzker agenda is wrong for our families. We will show in Milwaukee this week that we are unified in purpose – to make this state and this country great once again with a message of hope and prosperity for the future.”)

As we prepare to nominate the next President of the United States, Illinois stands as a testament to what Democrat governance can do: out of control cost of living, rampant crime, and rife with corruption. Illinois Republicans will stand and fight for our conservative ideals and set this state, and nation, back on the right track. Thank you Chairman Tracy for your commitment to this State and our Party.”)

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— National Committeeman Richard Porter looks ahead to GOP convention as party names new state chair. – PETER HANCOCK
https://capitolnewsillinois.com/news/national-committeeman-richard-porter-looks-ahead-to-gop-convention-as-party-names-new-state-chair
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans will gather in Milwaukee next week for what promises to be a historic national convention. Former President Donald Trump will be nominated for the third consecutive time as the party’s presidential nominee, the first major party candidate to win nomination that many times since Franklin Roosevelt. And if he’s successful in the fall campaign, he’ll be the first American president since Grover Cleveland to serve two nonconsecutive terms. But amid the speeches, the cheerleading, the flag-waving and balloons, the Illinois Republican Party hopes for an opportunity to send its own message to the nation. “We want people to see a party that’s on the swing up,” Richard Porter, the state party’s national committeeman, told Capitol News Illinois during a podcast interview this week. “We’ve been in a long dry spell.” This year will mark Porter’s third convention as national committeeman, a senior post within the state party and a post he has held since 2014 (2010?). He and National Committeewoman Demetra DeMonte serve as the state party’s representatives to the Republican National Committee, as well as the RNC’s liaisons with state and local GOP organizations. It can be a difficult job in a reliably Democratic state like Illinois, where no Republican presidential candidate has won since George H.W. Bush in 1988. Democrats currently hold all statewide elected offices, both U.S. Senate seats, 13 of the state’s 17 seats in the U.S. House, and supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly. This year in particular, though, Porter said Illinois Republicans need to make a positive impression because just a few weeks after the GOP convention in Milwaukee, Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker will play host to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. “And so we’d like to show what the future of Illinois can be,” Porter said. “A future of freedom and renewal, where Illinois becomes a place where you want to raise a family again, build a business. Because right now people are leaving. And there’s no reason why that should be. Illinois is the heart of the country and has all sorts of natural advantages. It’s just not been governed well.” This year’s convention, however, comes at a challenging time for the state party. On June 21, less than a month before the start of the convention, state party chairman Don Tracy announced his plans to resign from that job by the end of the convention due to “intra party power struggles, and local intra party animosities.” “In better days, Illinois Republicans came together after tough intra party elections,” Tracy said in his announcement. “Now however, we have Republicans who would rather fight other Republicans than engage in the harder work of defeating incumbent Democrats by convincing swing voters to vote Republican.” During a closed-door meeting Friday, party officials met and elected Kathy Salvi, of Mundelein, as the new chair beginning July 19, the day after the RNC concludes. Salvi, who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate against Democrat Tammy Duckworth in 2022, was chosen over two other candidates for the job: state Rep. John Cabello, of Machesney Park; and Aaron Del Mar, of Palatine, a party activist who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor in 2022. Tracy struck a different tone in a Friday statement, congratulating Salvi and saying the party is “united behind President Trump.” “We will show in Milwaukee this week that we are unified in purpose – to make this state and this country great once again with a message of hope and prosperity for the future,” he said in the statement. At the national level, meanwhile, Republicans also face a unique challenge with their nominee, who will be the first convicted felon to win a major party’s presidential nomination. Trump was found guilty in May on 34 felony charges for paying hush money to cover up a prior affair with the adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump has also been indicted on other felony charges stemming from his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and the mishandling of classified documents. Much like Trump himself has done, however, Porter brushed aside those issues as politically motivated. “I think they’re all seen as being part of a broader plan, which is to try to use the legal system to squelch political competition,” he said. “They recognize that Donald Trump has an enormous appeal, particularly with constituencies the Democrats used to (attract) such as labor, such as the Hispanic community, such as the Black community.” Listen to the full interview with Richard Porter on Capitol Cast wherever you get your podcasts.

CAPITOL FAX
— Afternoon roundup
https://capitolfax.com/2024/07/12/isabel%e2%80%99s-afternoon-roundup-118/
(FROM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF ILLINOIS: “We are not surprised to see the ILGOP pick a far-right extremist to sit at the head of their party. However, we are surprised that they chose someone whose draconian views on abortion will almost certainly drag down their entire Republican ticket. The ILGOP is littered with anti-abortion extremists, but it is now chaired by someone who once opposed abortions for victims of rape, saying, ‘abortion only adds insult to injury.’ The election of Kathy Salvi is not just a threat to the ILGOP’s ill-fated ticket, but to women all across our state. Kathy Salvi’s extreme stances on healthcare, immigration, and women’s rights are fundamentally at odds with the values of Illinois working families. Salvi will fit right in with the modern-day ILGOP as she is no stranger to losing elections. We defeated Kathy Salvi and MAGA extremism across Illinois in 2022, and we are more determined than ever to combat the ILGOP’s far-right agenda at the ballot box this November. While the ILGOP is in turmoil, we are focused on electing leaders who will enhance access to affordable healthcare, defend reproductive rights, and promote inclusive policies that benefit all Illinoisans.” MILLER: Kathy Salvi, who was the unsuccessful Republican nominee for U.S. Senate against Sen. Tammy Duckworth in 2022, has consistently aligned herself with far-right ideologies that Illinois voters have repeatedly rejected. Her failed Senate run underscores the state’s rejection of her regressive policies. Now, as the new ILGOP Chair, Salvi’s leadership threatens to drag the party even further into the depths of extremism, away from the values that define our diverse and inclusive state.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Trump Campaign Not Getting Involved in IL GOP Chairman’s Race, Proving Rumors False, Sources Confirm
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/07/trump-campaign-not-getting-involved-in-il-gop-chairmans-race-proving-rumors-false-sources-confirm.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race to replace Don Tracy as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party is heating up just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, as several potential candidates are making their case to Illinois Republicans on who’s the best fit to lead the embattled state party through the November election and beyond. And multiple sources confirm with this publication that senior officials within the Trump campaign and the RNC have made it clear Wednesday morning that they will not be weighing in on the state party chairman’s race as rumors began circulating across the state the last few days that “campaign officials” were backing a candidate to replace Tracy. The chatter also included rumors that even President Donald Trump would be weighing in and endorsing a candidate – but those rumors have proven to be false. The Trump campaign and the RNC have been busy preparing for the convention in Milwaukee next week and finalizing the vice presidential candidate selection process as the world awaits President Trump’s pick to complete his ticket. Illinois is also not a state in play for Trump as he focuses his time and energy on key battleground states in the final months of the campaign. Last month, Don Tracy submitted his resignation as party chairman effective July 19th – blaming the rise of the “grassroots,” party infighting and the removal of state central committee member Mark Shaw as vice chairman of the party without “due process” as the embattled leader of the IL GOP presided over widespread and massive losses during his brief tenure as chairman. Tracy also blamed the rise of the “grassroots,” writing, “Like Vince Kolber, my friend and former Finance Committee Chair, I am also concerned about the current infatuation of some members of the SCC, few as they are, with certain individuals they call ‘Grass roots’ leaders.” The outgoing state party chairman has yet to endorse President Trump and has spent the last year attending Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis events, and hosting the governor at an IL GOP fundraiser in Naples. Days before Tracy’s unexpected resignation, Kolber, who served as chairman of the IL GOP Finance Committee, abruptly resigned in an angry letter to Tracy, just weeks after the influential conservative grassroots base of the Illinois Republican Party scored major victories during the GOP State Convention in Collinsville – and after two years of unflattering stories by this publication. Kolber, who is registered to vote in Illinois and Wisconsin, was still angry about losing his election at the state convention for national committeeman after being eliminated in the first round to Mark Shaw, who faked a delegate badge and threatened to beat up a fellow state central committee member. During the first day of the convention, the Republican National Committeeman nominating committee voted 14-3 to keep Kolber on the ballot despite failing to meet the candidacy requirements as outlined by the IL GOP’s own bylaws. Applicants for state party chairman must submit their completed application to the state party headquarters by email no later than July 10th at 5:00 pm CDT.

CAPITOL FAX
— Speaking of the Illinois Republican Party, a member of the Freedom Caucus is calling on Don Tracy to delay his resignation as state party chair…State Representative Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur) says the future of the Republican Party in Illinois requires thoughtful consideration and should not be done on the fly which is why he is calling on current Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy to delay his resignation. “There is no question we have some issues to resolve in our party. Some require immediate attention and others can be addressed after November. My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed. We are setting up whoever takes over the chairmanship for failure. The duties of the Republican Party are to support our county organizations, provide legal assistance for ballot challenges as well as support other legal matters and to promote Republican ideas and candidates. Don Tracy has performed these duties well, and he can continue to provide the stability we need to get through the next several months. The announced candidates to replace Tracy have not been properly vetted and have not provided a vision for the party for the future. The reality is the truncated timetable prohibits them from making a strong case for their candidacy. We gain nothing by rushing this important decision and we risk losing traction in a state that we can ill afford to cede anymore ground to the Democrats. The solution is for Don Tracy to remain as State Party Chairman. For the good of the Party, I call on Don Tracy to delay his resignation and continue to serve at least through the end of the year.” Kinda surprising, considering the source. I’ve asked a party spokesperson for comment. Meanwhile, Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) told me today he is interested in serving as interim party chair through the November election. Sen. Jason Plummer and Aaron Del Mar also have their hats in the ring. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: Who do you want to serve as the next Illinois Republican Party chairman? Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I served as the chairman of TAPROOT republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed me for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents do not blame the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Milton Township Republican Organization for Republican losses. They blame conservatives and they blame the Republican Party platform.)

ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST/IPSOS
— Nearly 3 in 5 Americans view both Biden, Trump as too old. However, significantly more call for Biden to step aside, rather than Trump, according to ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll (COMMENT: Health should be the issue, not age. Who first deemed you to be too old, for what, when, and what pretext did they use to justify it? My Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be a GS-1`3 in 1974 when I was 25 years old. They used their “up-or-out” policy to justify that. But they used that policy only against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. Their doing that rendered worthless 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 and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. voters believe the problem of bias in the news media is getting worse – slightly higher than our December survey. Just nine percent (9%) think the problem is getting better, while 27% say the problem of media bias is about the same as usual.)

— What exactly is a ‘Black job,’ Mr. Trump? – Clarence Page (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I took jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early and gave my job and gave my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who have never held jobs like the ones I did make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took.

All those who reject direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members have dumped me if not taken adverse actions against me.

I would focus on those situations in which the real reasons for the adverse actions were a) political affiliation discrimination, b) reverse discrimination, c) age discrimination, d) religious discrimination, e) national origin discrimination, f) my avoiding the Vietnam War draft, and/or g) my suing them. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on my critics/opponents who blame me the most for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. I would focus on my critics/opponents who blame me the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.)
