— I protested Vietnam War at DNC 1968. – Terry Ratner (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will ever-increasingly stress that Trump avoided the Vietnam War draft. Duckworth will take the lead. Did the Vietnam War draft impact you? It impacted me big time. Both those who supported the war and those who opposed the war used it against me. I did not enlist. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. Those who supported the war stressed that I was 1-A, that I did not enlist, and that I got draft deferments. Those who opposed the war stressed that I was a Republican. They stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, a new townhome in 1972, and condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976. They stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and an MBA in 1976. In my defense, I earned the money for the aforesaid by washing dishes 1964-1966, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966, delivering mail 1966-1969, working on an automobile assembly line in 1970, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumping gasoline 1971-1972, and collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980. Further, they stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I took big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975. and 1976. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I would not have been able to do the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft. Further, they have always stressed that because of my health problems, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me the most. I should write a book about that.)

— Did you get any scholarships? I did not. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. Further, they have always used against me my not getting any financial hardship scholarships to hint/imply/argue/shout that my parents were filthy rich. They ignore the fact that to pay for my undergraduate college expenses and for cars to get to/from classes, 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, and worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. All the time I spent doing the aforesaid harmed my GPA.

— Nixon’s advice: A half century later, what lessons are we to take from the only presidential resignation in history? – Editorial (COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors hated Nixon. They took their hatred against Nixon out on me. I was one of their extremely few White male employees who was Republican and non-veteran. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. They made it extremely clear that I would never be promoted again. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

August 6, 2024 – Harris picks Walz

NEWSWEEK
— Tim Walz Is Kamala Harris’ Pick for VP – Jesus Mesa
https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-kamala-harris-vice-president-1934825
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, to be her running mate, CNN reported Tuesday morning, as the Democrats strive to gain ground on former President Donald Trump with just over three months until the November election. An official announcement was expected within hours, with the pair set for their first campaign rally in Philadelphia later on Tuesday. Walz, 60, now in his second term as governor, has gained recognition for his progressive policies while also maintaining an ability to appeal to both urban and rural voters. His selection aims to balance the Democratic ticket, leveraging his Midwestern roots and legislative success to attract a broader base of support. His national profile started to rise after he became the first Democrat to publicly label Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, as “weird”—a narrative that has since been seized upon by Democrats. As a vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz was something of a dark horse. Though his name had only started to surface in recent weeks as a potential contender, he wasn’t typically seen as one of the frontrunners — especially given that Minnesota is a relatively solid blue state. Josh Shapiro, from the must-win commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was widely considered the favorite. Walz brings a unique national political resume: He was a non-commissioned Army officer, public school teacher, and state high school championship football coach before entering politics. As a congressman, he represented Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District—a long-considered GOP bastion—and was re-elected five more times.)

I had to take low-paid jobs to work my way through college because unlike my critics/opponents, my parents were not wealthy. My critics/opponents never had to compete against illegals like I had to.)

The Republican Party platform is conservative. If you help elect a Democrat, you should not be allowed to call yourself a Republican let alone hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.  For general elections, because I am a  Republican Precinct Committeeman, I am required to, and I do, help elect those candidates who win Republican primary elections, including Trump. Because my “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-conservative and/or they are filled with hatred against Trump, they have taken many big adverse actions against me; I should write about them.)

— 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 did give them tremendous preference, but that was not enough. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had.

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.)

— Democrats, Republicans view precinct committeemen in very different lights. – JEREMY DUDA (COMMENT: Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) leaders appointed me to fill a vacant Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC) position in 1999. I was elected RPC for that precinct in 2000 and every 2 years since.  Because MTRO leaders soon determined that I am too conservative for them, that is, because I promote too many planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject including the following planks, they would not appoint me now to fill a vacant RPC position: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Further, they would not appoint me RPC now because they know that they cannot manipulate or dominate me and because I refuse to a) glorify and praise them, b) pander to them, c) serve as one of their operatives or dupes, d) cover up their wrong doing, or e) give them money. Further, they blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Further, they rudely had me removed from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. They rudely threw my April 2024 PC letter in their trash. They rudely had me removed as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005. They rudely killed my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019. They rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They rudely had me removed as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012. They rudely had me removed as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member in 2011. They rudely had me removed me as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004. They rudely had me removed as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007. They almost rudely succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. They rudely killed my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. According to them, I bring all my problems on myself, that is, I create all my own problems.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Tom Cotton (Ark.) proposed a plan in 2021 that would hike the federal wage floor from $7.25 to $10 per hour while instituting a nationwide mandate that employers use E-Verify, the system meant to confirm workers are not undocumented. Some, but not all, states currently require employers to use E-Verify when hiring. Many Democrats viewed the E-Verify provision as a poison pill and the proposed increase as insufficient. The party has coalesced around a minimum wage of at least $15, a level most Americans support in polling.)

July 9, 2024

In American politics, everything is either conservative or liberal. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles. The Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles. The sequence should be this: a) political parties develop and approve their platforms, b) political parties encourage candidates who can/will defend/advance their platforms to run in primaries, and c) the candidates who win those primaries defend/advance those platforms while they are in office.

TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
— RNC Platform Committee Adopts 2024 Republican Party Platform. Document Reflects 20 GOP Principles, Roadmap to Make America Great Again
https://djt.nucleusemail.com/amplify/v/eQjBXyTuzC
(MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee adopted President Donald J. Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform with overwhelming support– a pro-American agenda that stands in stark contrast to the record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty created by Joe Biden. President Trump’s platform serves as a contract with the American voter that makes clear what we can and will deliver under a President Trump administration with the Republican Party leading the country for the next four years. “President Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform articulates his vision to Make America Great Again in a way that is concise and digestible for every voter,” said Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles. “While Joe Biden and Democrats argue about who will be at the top of their ticket and have implemented policies that have raised prices on everyday families, opened the floodgates to migrant crime via wide-open borders, shackled American energy with red tape forced by Washington bureaucrats, and sewn chaos across the world through weak foreign policy, President Trump will Make America Great Again through these America First principles.” “Only President Trump can restore our economy, restore our Southern Border, and restore America’s standing in the world,” said RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump. “His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again. Read the 2024 Platform, as passed by Committee, below: Our Nation’s History is filled with the stories of brave men and women who gave everything they had to build America into the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Generations of American Patriots have summoned the American Spirit of Strength, Determination, and Love of Country to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. The American People have proven time and again that we can overcome any obstacle and any force pitted against us. But now we are a Nation in SERIOUS DECLINE. Our future, our identity, and our very way of life are under threat like never before. Today we must once again call upon the same American Spirit that led us to prevail through every challenge of the past if we are going to lead our Nation to a brighter future. For decades, our politicians sold our jobs and livelihoods to the highest bidders overseas with unfair Trade Deals and a blind faith in the siren song of globalism. They insulated themselves from criticism and the consequences of their own bad actions, allowing our Borders to be overrun, our cities to be overtaken by crime, our System of Justice to be weaponized, and our young people to develop a sense of hopelessness and despair. They rejected our History and our Values. Quite simply, they did everything in their power to destroy our Country. In 2016, President Donald J. Trump was elected as an unapologetic Champion of the American People. He reignited the American Spirit and called on us to renew our National Pride. His Policies spurred Historic Economic Growth, Job Creation, and a Resurgence of American Manufacturing. President Trump and the Republican Party led America out of the pessimism induced by decades of failed leadership, showing us that the American People want Greatness for our Country again. Yet after nearly four years of the Biden administration, America is now rocked by Raging Inflation, Open Borders, Rampant Crime, Attacks on our Children, and Global Conflict, Chaos, and Instability. Like the Heroes who built and defended this Nation before us, we will never give up. We will restore our Nation of, by, and for the People.  We will Make America Great Again. America needs determined Republican Leadership at every level of Government to address the core threats to our very survival: Our disastrously Open Border, our weakened Economy, crippling restrictions on American Energy Production, our depleted Military, attacks on the American System of Justice, and much more. To make clear our commitment, we offer to the American people the 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again!  It is a forward-looking Agenda that begins with the following twenty promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican Majorities in the House and Senate.

1. SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION
2. CARRY OUT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY
3. END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN
4. MAKE AMERICA THE DOMINANT ENERGY PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, BY FAR!
5; STOP OUTSOURCING, AND TURN THE UNITED STATES INTO A MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER
6. LARGE TAX CUTS FOR WORKERS, AND NO TAX ON TIPS!
7. DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS, AND OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION, AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
8. PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY — ALL MADE IN AMERICA
9. END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
10. STOP THE MIGRANT CRIME EPIDEMIC, DEMOLISH THE FOREIGN DRUG CARTELS, CRUSH GANG VIOLENCE, AND LOCK UP VIOLENT OFFENDERS
11. REBUILD OUR CITIES, INCLUDING WASHINGTON DC, MAKING THEM SAFE, CLEAN, AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
12. STRENGTHEN AND MODERNIZE OUR MILITARY, MAKING IT, WITHOUT QUESTION, THE STRONGEST AND MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD
13. KEEP THE U.S. DOLLAR AS THE WORLD’S RESERVE CURRENCY
14. FIGHT FOR AND PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE WITH NO CUTS, INCLUDING NO CHANGES TO THE RETIREMENT AGE
15. CANCEL THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE MANDATE AND CUT COSTLY AND BURDENSOME REGULATIONS
16. CUT FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ANY SCHOOL PUSHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY, RADICAL GENDER IDEOLOGY, AND OTHER INAPPROPRIATE RACIAL, SEXUAL, OR POLITICAL CONTENT ON OUR CHILDREN
17. KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS
18. DEPORT PRO-HAMAS RADICALS AND MAKE OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES SAFE AND PATRIOTIC AGAIN
19. SECURE OUR ELECTIONS, INCLUDING SAME DAY VOTING, VOTER IDENTIFICATION, PAPER BALLOTS, AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
20. UNITE OUR COUNTRY BY BRINGING IT TO NEW AND RECORD LEVELS OF SUCCESS

*****
When America is united, confident, and committed to our principles, it will never fail. Today and together, with Love for our Country, Faith in our People, and Trust in God’s Good Grace, we will Make America Great Again!)

June 20, 2024

I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.  I am a conservative independent not-for-profit aggregator of government and political news and commentary who promotes the Republican Party platform. Since 2000, I have reported on all the changes in leadership of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP).  I attended the meetings in which candidates made their presentations in 2005 and 2013. Whoever shared Tracy’s resignation letter with the Democrat news media did not share it with me. What does that say about that person?  It says that person does not want me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and does not want anyone to read them. Those who do that a) reject planks in the IRP platform and/or b) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praised them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. Those who do that blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems. Those who do that are anti-conservative if not conservative-hating RINOs if not Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or Independent plants who use the Democrat news media to advance themselves and/or to destroy the IRP.

Those who not want me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and do not want anyone to read them a) removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ended my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ended my service as Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004.

I am a conservative independent not-for-profit aggregator of government and political news and commentary who promotes the Republican Party platform. QUESTION: What differentiates me from those reporters and journalists who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me? ANSWER: I state that I am a conservative Republican and I am a conservative Republican. I should write a book about those reporters and journalists who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most. I would focus on those who deny that they function as operatives or as dupes for the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties, but do so.

Richard Williamson was the IRP chairman 1999–2001, Lee Daniels 2001–2002, Dallas Ingemunson 2002 (interim), Gary MacDougal, 2002–2002, Judy Baar Topinka 2002–2005, Andrew McKenna 2005–2009, Pat Brady 2009–2013, Jack Dorgan 2013–2014, Tim Schneider 2014–2021; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman 2018–2024, and Don Tracy 2021–present. I attended the meetings in which candidates made their presentations in 2005 and 2013. I should write a book about the aforesaid and how they and their Executive Directors treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP Chair Don Tracy calls it quits – SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: How many people do you know who are/were chairmen of political organizations? My perspective on all this is impacted by my having served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. Being the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/06/20/don-tracy-calls-it-quits-00164183
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Don Tracy, the chair of the Illinois Republican Party, sent out a resignation letter Wednesday criticizing how party leaders handled a complaint that resulted in a veteran party leader being ousted by the State Central Committee. His full letter is here. Split priorities: “We have Republicans who would rather fight other Republicans than engage in the harder work of defeating incumbent Democrats,” Tracy wrote, referring to last week’s State Central Committee meeting that led to Mark Shaw’s ouster. The Tribune followed up with a scathing story of unnamed sources saying efforts to replace Tracy were brewing. A year ago, for example, Tracy survived a “no confidence vote” among party officials. The bigger issue: The Illinois GOP is shifting. The base supporting Donald Trump is no longer a wing of the party. It is the party. During his three years leading the state GOP, Tracy tried to hold both establishment and right-leaning segments together but faced headwinds at every turn. The other challenge: The party is struggling for relevance in a state where the state-wide holders are all Democrats. What’s next: Tracy says he’d like his successor named “no later than” July 19, right after the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Names in the hopper: State Sen. Jason Plummer, who represents the Edwardsville area near St. Louis, and Aaron Del Mar, a former Cook County GOP chair. Del Mar told us he’s “very interested.” Democrats are gleeful: In a statement after Tracy’s announcement, the Illinois Democratic Party said “best of luck to the inevitable MAGA extremist who will succeed Don Tracy as chair.”)

CAPITOL FAX
— Embattled Tracy will resign as ILGOP chair “preferably no later” than the day after Republican National Convention – Rich Miller (COMMENT: If the ILGOP sent out a press release, I did not receive it. One could say that Tracy’s resignation letter certainly gave lots of ammunition to Democrat and RINO leaders to further harm/destroy the ILGOP.)
https://capitolfax.com/2024/06/20/embattled-tracy-will-resign-as-ilgop-chair-preferably-no-later-than-the-day-after-republican-national-convention/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wednesday resignation press release from Don Tracy…As I told subscribers, Tracy sent out word of his resignation before the Tribune story was published. The Republican National Convention ends July 18. Democratic Party of Illinois react…Following the latest reports of Illinois GOP dysfunction and Chair Don Tracy’s sudden resignation, the Democratic Party of Illinois released the following statement: “While the IL GOP finds itself in chaos, the Democratic Party of Illinois enters the 2024 general election as a united party standing for freedom and opportunity for all of Illinois’ working families. As a reminder, last cycle, Illinois Democrats defeated the IL GOP’s MAGA candidate for Governor, re-elected Senator Tammy Duckworth, protected supermajorities in the IL General Assembly, and expanded our representation in Congress. In contrast, the IL GOP has been defined by a litany of electoral disasters, constant infighting, meager fundraising, and a strict adherence to a losing set of anti-choice, anti-worker, pro-Trump policies. While we don’t expect new leadership to change any of that, we do wish the best of luck to the inevitable MAGA extremist who will succeed Don Tracy as Chair.”)

Lightfoot blasts ‘overwhelming whiteness and maleness’ of Chicago media outlets. – Craig Wall  (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000 to curry favor with the Democrat news media: past and present 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, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists said while it is important to address newsroom inequalities, “NAHJ does not condone restricting press access based on a journalist’s race/ethnicity. Any action that threatens the cornerstone of our democracy and First Amendment rights is unacceptable.” There are also some who see this as an attempt by the mayor to curry favor with the Black and Brown communities, where her support may be soft.)

HOUSTON KTRH
— Republican Party Of Texas Announces Their Legislative Priorities – B.D. Hobbs (COMMENT: One could compare and contrast the Texas GOP with the Illinois GOP.)
https://ktrh.iheart.com/featured/houston-texas-news/content/2024-06-07-the-republican-party-of-texas-announces-their-legislative-priorities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Legislative Priorities for the Republican Party of Texas for 2024-2025 are:

1. Border Enforcement To repel invasion and deter illegal immigration: Creating a Texas Department of Homeland Security to prevent illegal entry and trafficking, and to deport illegal aliens to Mexico or to their nations of origin. Prohibiting, with mandatory fines and jail time, individuals, corporations, non-profits, governments, and social media entities from assisting or inciting illegal entry. Requiring the use of E-Verify by all employers in Texas with significant penalties for business owners who violate this requirement. Ending all subsidies and public services, including in-state college tuition and enrollment in public schools, for illegal aliens, except for emergency medical care.

2. Secure Texas Elections Securing elections from each citizen’s registration to the final count of legal votes by: Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Requiring the Counties and the Secretary of State to update the voter rolls at least quarterly. Requiring a mandatory photo ID for every election, without exception. Restricting mail-in ballots to disabled, military, and eligible citizens who are out of their county for the entire voting period. Using only hand-marked, sequentially numbered paper ballots on anti-counterfeiting paper that are signed on the back by the election official at the voting location. Standardizing in-person voting, with early voting limited to a period of no longer than nine (9) days, no gap before Election Day, and assigned-precinct voting locations only. Counting ballots in precinct using a dumb-scanner method as soon as the ballot is returned by the voter and with publication of the results prior to submission to the County. Closing party primaries for only registered Republicans. Explicitly codifying the ability of the Attorney General to prosecute violations of the Election Code. Removing existing Secretary of State waivers to comply with current Election Code.

3. Stop Sexualizing Texas’ Kids Stopping the sexualization of minors, which leads to abuse, exploitation, and trafficking, by: Prohibiting taxpayer funding to any entities that permit or promote sexually inappropriate content to minors and legislatively banning instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology in schools and libraries. Repealing affirmative defenses in Texas Penal Code (43.24, 43.25) and redefining “harmful materials” to remove loopholes provided by the modified Miller Test. Establishing an independent Inspector General for Education to investigate fraud, waste, abuse, and criminal conduct within schools and refer findings to prosecutorial authorities. Compelling superintendents to report sex crimes within schools to outside law enforcement and removing immunity from civil liability for schools and their employees.

4. No Democrat Chairs The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature shall end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats and require all committees to be majority Republican.

5. Ban Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Prohibiting all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying, including the use of tax dollars to hire lobbyists and payment of tax dollars to associations that lobby the Legislature.

6. Secure the Electric Grid Securing the integrity of Texas electricity production and delivery of abundant, reliable, and resilient energy, ensuring that the Texas grid can withstand any natural or manmade threat to include weather, cyber, physical, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbances (GMD).

7. Texas is Not for Sale Banning the sale of real property in Texas, and discontinuing taxpayer funding and incentives, to governments, entities, and proxies of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, and to individuals from these nations who are not legal permanent residents or citizens of the United States.

8. End Federal Overreach Resisting unconstitutional federal acts and mandates that restrict transportation, including mandatory kill switches in vehicles, road diets, and restrictions on the owner’s right to repair vehicles and equipment. Ensuring that Texans have medical freedom and can give or withhold consent for any vaccine or medical treatment without coercion, are not discriminated against based on vaccine status, and are not faced with any vaccine or medical mandate by public or private entities.)

In my defense, I stress that forced retirement was political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and retaliation. I had been an active member since 1988 in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.).

(COMMENT: Will illegals take the bad jobs that I took? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I took were bad jobs. 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.

— American-Born Workers Are Getting Killed In Biden’s Economy – WILL KESSLER (COMMENT: Employers want cheap labor. If there had been as many foreign-born workers when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got.)
https://dailycaller.com/2024/06/07/jobs-under-biden-going-foreign-born-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Native-born American workers are taking a beating in the job market from gains by foreign-born workers, according to the data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday. The number of foreign-born workers employed in the U.S. rose by 637,000 in the last year to nearly 30.9 million, while the number of employed native-born Americans has declined by 299,000, according to the BLS. As a consequence of foreign-born workers taking up job gains, the number of American-born workers with jobs is still below the number counted in July 2019.)
