The Democrats who run Illinois, and especially those who run Chicago, ever-increasingly drive out of Illinois, and especially out of Chicago, those who do not promote LGBTQ. To promote LGBTQ is destroy traditional marriage and family.

In today’s dollars, my salary was $153,151/year when I was 49 years old in 1997. In my defense, I had earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

If Gingrich had reformed GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have a) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for performance purposes, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) kept me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

But the roar is coming back this summer in the 2026 Ram 1500 after a determined effort by brand CEO Tim Kuniskis and his engineers to restore it.)

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.

They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

To deal with Gingrich budget cuts 1980-1997, my Democrat GAO superiors targeted their employees like me who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. Gingrich had to have known that.

— 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.

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.

June 23, 2024

Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to issue a press release that gives:


a) the names of the two other members of the IRP chairman search committee,
b) the selection process that the committee will use,
c) the qualifications that applicants must have,
d) the requirements that applicants must meet, and
e) the application filing deadline.

Illinois Republicans anxiously await the IRP to then issue press releases that give:


a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) the Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.



I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.



In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized an applicant forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna as IRP’s chairman. The participants in that forum were John Cox, Stephen McGlynn, McKenna, and Jim Nalepa. Jim Oberweis wanted to participate, but could not.



In 2013, I attended the IRP SCC meeting in Springfield at which IRP chairman applicants gave five minute presentations on why they should be the next IRP chairman. Jack Dorgan was selected. The other applicants were Angel Garcia, Jim Nalepa, Mark Shaw, Don Tracy, Joe Walsh, and Lori Yokoyama.



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.



Why is the Illinois Democrat Party (IDP) as successful as the IRP is unsuccessful, that is, what distinguishes IDP leaders from IRP leaders? ANSWER: IDP leaders believe in and defend/advance all the planks in the Democrat Party platform while IRP leaders reject or fail/refuse to defend/advance many planks, if not most planks, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many of them paint themselves as being Democrat Lite and are Democrat Lite. The aforesaid is a direct result of IDP SCC members being directly elected by Democrats while IRP SCC members are not directly elected by Republicans. I should write a book about IRP leaders since 2000 and the planks in the Republican Party platform that they have rejected or failed/refused to defend/advance.

Democrats and RINOs blame following planks in the Republican Party platform for Republican loses: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving). But Republican failure/refusal to defend and advance the aforesaid planks is the real reason for the loses:

NEW YORK TIMES
— Boys Are Struggling. Male Kindergarten Teachers Are Here to Help. – Claire Cain Miller (COMMENT: My parents sent me to kindergarten at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete in 1953. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. They have always hinted/implied/agued/shouted that proved that my parents were filthy rich. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 6-cylinder 2-door Chevrolet. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and I.)
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/23/upshot/male-kindergarten-teachers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Boys are falling behind in school. They are less likely than girls to be ready for kindergarten. They read at lower levels. They graduate from high school at lower rates. This gender gap in education has significantly widened just in the last generation. One group is uniquely positioned to help put boys on the right track in their first year of formal schooling: men who teach kindergarten. Yet only around 3 percent of kindergarten teachers are men. Many studies show that older boys benefit from having male teachers. There hasn’t been as much research on the youngest students and their teachers — in large part because there are so few male teachers in early education to begin with. Still, it stands to reason that men who teach kindergarten can make a difference for boys, said Thomas S. Dee, a Stanford professor who has for decades researched the effect of teacher demographics on students.)

https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/fact-check-ny-state-republicans-nominate-registered-democrat-replace-george-santos
(FRM THE ARTICLE: Mazi Melesa Pilip would seem to check all the boxes for a solid GOP candidate, Politico reported. She is a two-term Republican member of the Nassau County Legislature who has championed law enforcement and low property taxes. She is also a pro-Israel Orthodox Jew and has even served in the Israel Defense Forces. However, Pilip has been a registered Democrat since 2012, Politico reported, citing public records it had “uncovered.” “The Nassau County Board of Elections’ spokesperson called [Politico] on Pilip’s behalf and confirmed she is an enrolled Democrat.” Commenting on the situation, the outlet noted, “It seems like New York’s 3rd Congressional [District] is destined for drama.” Business Insider reported that the Ethiopian-born Pilip “professes to be” a Republican, despite the evidence uncovered by Politico. In securing the New York GOP nod, she “beat out a slew of other hopeful GOP nominees,” including a U.S. Air Force veteran and another IDF veteran. Pilip will be running against Democrat Tom Suozzi, a former House member who stepped down in 2022 to run for governor of New York. He lost the Democratic nomination to incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul. Politico described Pilip as a “firebrand” and added that she is “a popular figure in Great Neck, where she lives with her seven children.” The special election to fill Santos’ vacant seat will be held on Feb. 13, according to Business Insider.)
