https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/02/trumps-justice-department-sues-illinois-over-worker-privacy-provisions-feds-say-interfere-with-immigration-enforcement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The United States has preeminent authority to regulate the administrative processes governing Form I-9 (federal employment eligibility verification forms) documentation and inspection, and E-Verify,” the Justice Department wrote. “Illinois therefore has no authority to enforce laws that obstruct or otherwise conflict with federal immigration enforcement efforts by imposing additional regulations, requirements, and possible sanctions on employers that seek to participate in the federal ‘E-Verify’ program.”)

I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. They were furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and when GAO promoted me in 1986. According to my critics/opponents, Democrats should have gotten those jobs and promotions, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

— Sadly, there are far too many reasons to not help elect candidates. Far too often, the more that you do to help elect a candidate, if that candidate is defeated, you will be blamed for their defeat. I have done much to help elect Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I should write about those that have suffered defeats and that I have been blamed the most for their defeats. They blame what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and what I did as a leader of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2000-2012, Illinois Center Right Coalition 2003-2007, and Pat O’Malley’s Milton Township gubernatorial primary campaign 2001-2002.

— Trump Eliminates Another Vestige of Racial Discrimination— the Fraud of Disparate Impact. Of all the many tests that I have taken, fewer Blacks, Hispanics, and/or females a) took those tests than I did and b) fewer passed those tests than I did. According to my critics/opponents, that was because I benefitted from discrimination against Blacks, Hispanics, and/or 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. The many tests that I took and pasted enabled me a) to earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, c) to get hired by the Post Office when I was 18, by IRS when I was 22, and by GAO when I was 31, and d) to get promoted by IRS when I was 23, 24, and 25 and by GAO when I was 38..

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)

If you are a registered Republican voter, what do those Democrat voters think of you? What do they blame you for? According to them, you put Trump in office. Democrat leaders and their mainstream news media ever-increasingly a) demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump and everything that Trump says and does and b) hint/imply/argue/shout that local Democrats should punish local Republicans to punish Trump. If you are a Republican registered voter, anticipate/expect that local Democrats will ever-increasingly ostracize you if not take adverse actions against you.

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrat leaders crow about their success in defeating Republican township candidates. I should compare and contrast the eight Democrat Milton Township candidates who won with their eight Republican opponents who lost. For the April 1 election, what if Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders had promoted Trump’s policies as strongly as Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders demonized, denigrated, and condemned Trump’s policies?
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250412/news/suburban-blue-wave-hits-township-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban Democratic leaders say anger over the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration helped spur voters to action. “The best way to go against Trump and Musk is to put Democrats in office,” said Mark Guethle, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kane County. He said the township wins will help Democrats build a bench of candidates for future races for higher office. “Eventually, those people move up,” Guethle said. . .DuPage GOP leader Kevin Coyne said Republican candidates “ran good campaigns” but faced a “perfect storm of issues,” including an infusion of cash from the Democratic Party of Illinois to help bolster their candidates, the Trump factor, a demographic shift in the state as Republicans leave Illinois and being outpaced by Democrats in vote-by-mail ballots. . .McCollum, however, pointed to Election Day tallies and noted the majority of Democrats in contested races fared better when just looking at in-person Election Day vote tallies. He argued the bigger issue in the local races was Trump. . .Newly elected township officials plan to use these wins to focus on issues such as mental health care or other social assistance programs — services Democratic leaders fear may suffer under Trump’s administration.)
— Tariffs could cost them. They’re still standing by Trump. My standing by the Republican Party platform has cost me dearly. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform.

I took a $23,472/year pay cut (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980.

— Illinois State Board of Education rebuffs Trump administration demand to reject DEI in schools. The Education Department said states risk federal funding if they don’t end DEI programs the feds deem illegal. Illinois said it already pledges to comply with anti-discrimination laws. DEI is discrimination. DEI programs give preference to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, that is, DEI programs discriminate against those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Alumni of Wheaton College concerned about the school’s alleged leftward drift recently singled out a philosophy professor at the school as an example of liberalism seeping into the flagship Evangelical institution. Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

I started itemizing when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my wife and I started in 1978. We paid less federal income tax because of that. But SALT ended all that. My critics/opponents have been furious that we have paid less federal income tax by itemizing. They want SALT and they do not want the SALT cap to be increased.
