CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— It’s not much of a party if there’s only one ruling political party. More than anything else, my critics/opponents blame today’s Illinois GOP problems on Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in 2002. They blame TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois support for Pat O’Malley in the 2002 GOP Illinois gubernatorial primary for Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. They blame my serving as a TAPROOT leader in 2002 and they blame my serving as O’Malley’s Milton Township campaign coordinator in 2002.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whatever happens on the GOP side doesn’t really matter. Illinois is solidly Democratic statewide. That reality has driven credible Republicans to the sidelines, leaving ballot spots to be filled by wannabes who range from unprepared dreamers to outright nuts. Republicans bear most of the responsibility for their current state of affairs. In 1994, when Republican Gov. Jim Edgar ran the state, every statewide office was held by a Republican. Corruption under Edgar’s successor — Gov. George Ryan — laid the groundwork for GOP doom. (Ironically, Ryan’s Democratic successor, Rod Blagojevich, was equally corrupt, but his sickening tenure didn’t hurt his party at all. Neither will that of soon-to-be-federal-prison-inmate Michael Madigan, the longtime Democratic speaker of the Illinois House.) Ryan’s corruption was exacerbated by rancor within GOP ranks — so-called real Republicans condemning evil RINOs — Republicans In Name Only. The fight over who is pure and who gets to decide who is pure has been politically poisonous. As a consequence, the GOP is going nowhere. Making matters even worse, GOP decline combined with ruthless Democratic gerrymandering of state and federal legislative districts has made Illinois a one-party state. The Ds don’t mind that because it serves their political self-interest. But Paul Vallas, a Democrat who has run unsuccessfully for governor and mayor of Chicago, argues that “one-party dominance imposed and perpetuated through aggressive (legislative) map manipulation” is bad both for the party and the public. He said cemented Democratic majorities “reward identity politics and stifle dissenting voices.” As a result of that “unchecked power,” Illinois’ political environment has “moved further left all the time,” in a way that favors “government expansion over economic growth.” He said lack of competition between parties has left the ruling party unaccountable for policy choices that have had bad results. They include stagnating job growth, out-migration from Illinois by higher-income earners looking for a better life elsewhere, and “dozens of tax and fee increases” since 2019 that generated billions in new revenue but did little to solve the state’s financial woes. Not enough people realize it, but Illinois is a mess that will only get messier absent changes as seismic as they are unlikely.)

— Keep racial lunacy out of air traffic control before more planes crash. To hire, retain, and promote more young Democrat minorities and more young Democrat females, my Democrat superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards.

— Pritzker recently signed a bill to compel all Illinois schools to offer students mental-health screenings. Pritzker proclaimed the new law “is a national first worth celebrating.” But his Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative is far likelier to produce more jobs for therapists than better health for pupils. Academic achievement levels in Illinois schools have sharply declined in recent years, but that’s not stopping politicians from further intruding into students’ lives and minds. According to Democrats, if you are not a Democrat, you have mental problems.

— Hold Members of Congress to Their Oath
https://www.newsmax.com/michaeldorstewitz/guatemala-omar-somalia/2025/08/11/id/1222008/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Delia Ramirez is the latest congresswoman to draw flak from remarks that call her allegiance to the United States into question, an allegiance to which they had both pledged when they were sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Speaking before a Mexico City summit over the last weekend, the Illinois Democrat announced, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and the Department of Homeland Security retweeted her statement along with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism,” the 28th president said. “Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” That’s especially true for members of Congress. Their oath of office is as follows: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” As Roosevelt noted, there is no room for divided loyalties in this country — especially where one expresses a greater loyalty to a foreign country than to the United States. Although Ramirez was the latest politician to call her loyalty into question, she’s not the only one to do so.)
U.S. HOUSE ENERGY & COMMERCE COMMITTEE
— Chairman Guthrie Issues Statement Regarding CBO Coverage Update from the One Big Beautiful Bill
https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairman-guthrie-issues-statement-regarding-cbo-coverage-update-from-the-one-big-beautiful-bill
(FROM THE POSTING: “The prolonged lie exacerbated by Democrats that 17 million individuals will lose health care coverage from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has finally been dispelled by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). In the most recent coverage update released by CBO, CBO estimates 10 million individuals enrolled in federal health care programs will no longer be covered, with 5.3 million being able-bodied adults refusing to work, 3.7 million having access to other forms of coverage, and the remaining balance being removed from the rolls since coverage was limited to U.S. citizens and lawfully permanent residents. It’s easy to scare people with coverage loss estimates, but the facts are clear – the vast majority of these individuals are either choosing to lose coverage or aren’t actually eligible for Medicaid, and nearly all are eligible for other forms of coverage. “I think about Americans all across the country, who work hard every day but have to pay with their own taxpayer dollars for the health care of millions of able-bodied Americans who are choosing not to work. Republicans will continue to find commonsense solutions that ensure these programs are available for those who need them most, for generations to come. I thank President Trump for his steadfast leadership on this issue and for signing a piece of legislation that promotes the future of our health programs to serve their intended purpose.” BACKGROUND: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently released the updated coverage numbers for H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). CBO estimated the total number of uninsured beneficiaries to be 10 million by 2034. The breakdown includes: 5.3 million able-bodied adults currently covered by Medicaid who are choosing not to work; 3.7 million individuals who will have access to another form of health insurance; and
1 million individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully permanent residents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country,” said Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills. “What more could the governor do?” . . . Senate Republican Leader John Curran of Downers Grove accused Pritzker of “meddling in other states’ redistricting issues for national press coverage.” “He should be working to increase voter choice here in Illinois by calling for fair maps like he pledged when running for office,” Curran said. . . Illinois’ current congressional map was drawn to give Democrats an edge in nearly all of the state’s 17 districts, even though roughly 41% of the state’s voters supported Trump in the 2020 election and 44% of voters did so in 2024. Likewise, Trump carried 88 of Illinois’ 102 counties in 2020 and again in 2024. The gerrymandering is particularly obvious in the West and Northwest suburbs, where some districts curl through a dozen or more communities in multiple counties like ribbons in the wind. Curran said it’d be “impossible” to gerrymander the map more than it already has been. “Gerrymandering weakens our democracy and removes choice from voters,” Curran said. “It should be ended throughout the country — starting here in Illinois.”)

ABC NEWS
— The easiest way to understand gerrymandering is through the lens of two basic techniques: cracking and packing. Cracking splits groups of disfavored voters among multiple districts. With their electoral strength divided, cracked groups struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts because they are too small a share of the electorate to be effective. Packing is the opposite of cracking. With packing, map drawers cram members of disfavored groups or parties into as few districts as possible. The packed groups are able to elect their preferred candidates by overwhelming margins, but their voting strength is weakened everywhere else. These techniques are not mutually exclusive — both may be deployed by map drawers to engineer a decided partisan advantage. Illinois 3rd Congressional District is an example Hispanic packing.

I ever-increasingly came to realize that the more of the following that federal employees are, the fewer civil service protections that they have: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-union member, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/documents/ That article made me very well-known to the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO. They used everything in that article against me that they could. They used the article mainly to paint me as being a grossly overpaid draft avoider. That helped them force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

— Don Tracy considers governor bid
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/29/don-tracy-considers-governor-bid-00480953
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2026 INTRIGUE: A familiar Republican name is eyeing the 2026 governor’s race. Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, confirmed to Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore that he is actively considering a bid for the state’s top job. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” Tracy told Moore, noting he’s been “making some calls” and that “several people” have urged him to throw his hat into the ring. The potential candidacy comes at a time when the Illinois GOP is in a prolonged wilderness stretch, failing to win a statewide race in nearly a decade. Tracy may be the Republican to change that. He’s a Springfield attorney and businessman with ties to the party’s donor class. And though he stepped down as chair last year, Tracy’s name still carries weight in Republican circles. It wouldn’t be easy. Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire with virtually unlimited resources and a finely tuned political operation, announced in June that he will seek a third term. The governor has already signaled an aggressive campaign that focuses on attacking extremism. . .State Sen. Sue Rezin, who serves as deputy Republican leader, is returning to the trail. “After a lot of thought and discussions, I have decided to run for reelection to protect taxpayers’ pocketbooks, strengthen public safety and keep and grow good-paying jobs right here at home in the 38th Senate District,” she said in a statement. Rezin has been serving in the General Assembly since 2010.)

SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGY
— A meritocratic society allows those from lower socioeconomic status to aspire to a higher social class, status, and place in the hierarchy. Meritocracy enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license even though a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d)my mother never attended high school, and e) I had to work my way through college. My critics/opponents vehemently disagree. According to them, I was able to accomplish the aforesaid because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus those whose parents had lots of money.

If Republican Presidents, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Representatives had stopped AA and DEI in the federal government, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Further, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions, and c) disallow my travel vouchers. Further, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have been able to a) force me to resign and b) disallow my sick leave requests.

BLAZE
— How coveting empowers wokeness, socialism, and cancel culture. Envy is the animating force of all conflict. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were filled with envy. They were envious of the new cars and real estate that I bought. They were envious of the college degrees, professional certifications, and professional license that I earned. They were envious of my wife’s income. According to them, I did not disserve what I had a) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft and b) my wife and I gave up trying to have children.

REUTERS
— Virtually all, if not all, GAO employees are Democrats. GAO falsely claims to be non-partisan. I should write a book about that. I would use how the Democrats who run GAO treated me as an example. If I had been a Democrat, they would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have kept me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would not have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. They would not have wasted what I learned earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. They would not have wasted what I learned earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. They would not have wasted what I learned to become a licensed CPA.

— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, when Whites, males, older people, Protestants, and German Americans do better than minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans, it is because they benefit from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly use the aforesaid argument to give more and more and more preference to minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, and non-German Americans. America’s enemies do not want America to be led by Whites, males, older people, Protestants, or German Americans.
