GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— See the articles below concerning Trump making Matthew Lohmeier an Air Force Under Secretary. Like Lohmeie, I fought Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI in the federal government. Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used AA and DEI to make the federal government a hostile work environment for Republicans, to waste the careers of Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. 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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a fiery House Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday, Republicans accused non-governmental organizations– many of which were faith-based groups– of incentivizing illegal immigration during the Biden administration by providing services or support to migrants, even though many of the same Republicans voted to fund grants that helped facilitate their work. During the hearing titled “An Inside Job: How NGOs Facilitated the Biden Border Crisis,” Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., accused many of the NGOs of acting as a “launching pad for mass illegal immigration.” “FEMA provided grants to numerous NGOs, many of whom were operating at the southwest border,” Guest said. “These groups spent billions of taxpayers’ dollars.”)

— Republicans lining up against Pritzker
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/14/republicans-lining-up-against-pritzker-00450761
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A few Republicans are looking to get in the ring. Ted Dabrowski and Aaron Del Mar are testing the waters, speaking with GOP insiders and potential donors about mounting campaigns. They would face DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who’s already jumped in, and Joseph Severino who’s posted in social media that he’s running, too. Darren Bailey, who challenged Pritzker in 2024, hasn’t made any decisions yet about 2026. Jeanne Ives, who ran in 2018, says she’s not running. And though state Rep. Dan Ugaste and Posen Park District Supervisor Phil Perez toyed with the idea, neither will run for governor in 2026. Mendrick, a law-and-order candidate, has raised just $127,000 since he announced in February, according to filings with the state. Dabrowski and Del Mar, who are better known around the state for their work in policy and politics, would likely have an easier time raising funds. Del Mar is recognized in party circles across the state as he’s a former co-chair of the Illinois GOP and current Cook County Republican chair who ran as lieutenant governor alongside Gary Rabine in 2022. Dabrowski is president of Wirepoints Corp., the conservative-leaning media company. While he lacks campaign experience, he’s a former banking executive and policy wonk whose fiscal message could resonate at a time of economic uncertainty. Severino has made two unsuccessful bids for Congress, first as a Republican and then as an Independent. Along with the money challenge, messaging will be an issue for GOP candidates as Pritzker and his Democratic Party will blame Republicans and President Donald Trump for the megabill that’s giving tax breaks to the wealthy and cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs. . .Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a fundraiser in Barrington the other day at the home of Rick and Alisa Heidner. Among the attendees were Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, political strategist Brett Corrigan, businessman and 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, possible 2026 gubernatorial candidate Aaron Del Mar, Illinois National Republican Committee member Dean White, former Chicago GOP Chair Eloise Gerson and McHenry County Clerk Joe Tirio.)

Ever-increasingly, after I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 year old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors made I ever-increasingly clear that they wanted to get rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. Nevertheless, to thwart their ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me, a) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. However, that was not enough. They succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother had never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes.

In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I am amazed that I survived for almost 3 years at the Post Office, for almost 9 years at IRS, and for almost 18 years at GAO.

This incredible benefit concert was held to support U.S. Veterans and their families, with all proceeds going toward housing and essential living needs for disabled veterans—a mission at the heart of WSFDV, a dedicated non-profit organization. We extend our deepest thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation, Cantigny Park, and Michelle Senatore, co-founder and president of WSFDV, for making this event possible. The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office was proud to stand behind this meaningful cause and be part of such a heartfelt community effort.

I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until 1979. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until 1981. I did not become a licensed CAP until 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. On top of that, the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young women.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Richard Porter eyeing Durbin’s seat
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/09/richard-porter-eyeing-durbins-seat-00443440
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Richard Porter, a battle-hardened Republican Party loyalist, is considering a bid for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who’s retiring. Porter sees an opening for himself and the Illinois Republican Party by blending establishment savvy with MAGA fealty. His background: Porter, 65, is a seasoned attorney from Chicago’s northern suburbs and a former Republican National Committeeman who has worn many hats over the years. He was a senior domestic policy adviser to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dan Quayle. More recently he’s been an unofficial adviser within the Illinois Republican Party. Porter’s resume screams old guard, but he now sings support for President Donald Trump and his policies — a pivot from the early years of Trump’s first administration. Walking a tightrope: “I represent the old and new party,” Porter told your Playbook host, adding he’s still in the “testing the waters phase” of running for Senate. It’s a narrow but not impossible lane, he says. With Durbin out and three prominent Democrats already elbowing one another in a looming primary brawl, Porter sees a crack in the Democratic firewall that has defined Illinois politics for so many years. “This is an open seat,” Porter said. “Democrats will have to compete in a primary so there’s a good chance for division coming out of that.” Porter expects economic renewal under Trump, and he brushed aside Democrats’ concerns that hundreds of thousands of people will lose health care under Trump’s just-signed megabill. “If you look at actual provisions, they aren’t unreasonable — there are work requirements,” Porter said. “Real world impact will be minimal.” Perhaps. But … that won’t stop Democrats from branding it as catastrophic to voters. Porter is confident that any “unintended bad consequence” from the budget reconciliation bill can be corrected before the 2026 midterms. Porter’s view: “There’s a risk if Democrats cry wolf, wolf, wolf for 12 months and there’s no wolf.” He’s also been poring over 2024 election results and sees Trump’s showing in Illinois as a positive sign that Republicans could find success in 2026 in the state where Democrats control all the statewide seats. Add a possible chaotic Democratic primary and a volatile national climate, and anything is possible. The challenge for any statewide Republican candidate, Porter says, is getting old guard and new right Republicans to march in lock step. The other challenge is getting the state’s most prominent Republican donor — businessman Richard Uihlein — on your side. SIDE NOTE: Porter would face a primary. Air Force veteran John Goodman, political commentator Pamela Denise Long and businessman Douglas Bennett and others have filed as Republican candidates, too.)

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/673828974-they-threw-christine-into-the-waterl-chicago-flash-mob-takes-over-glen-ellyn-s-sunset-pool-assaults-manager
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “flash mob” of some 200 Chicago residents swarmed Glen Ellyn’s Sunset village pool on Saturday afternoon, forcing their way past the entrance and assaulting the pool manager. A video posted on Instagram shows a crowd pushing manager Christine Giunta-Mayer into the lap pool, which had been surrounded by the mob. Sources tell DuPage Policy Journal that the mob arrived around 4:30 p.m. Glen Ellyn Police arrived soon after and closed the pool. A Sat. afternoon Facebook post by Patrick Sandusky reported the pool as “now closed.” “The Sunset Pool has been overwhelmed by out of town kids,” he wrote. “Fireworks fired into pool. It’s a tik tok meet up / take over according to police I just spoke to.” “Kids pushed (past) the gates. Lot of drinking and weed in the parking lot. 100s and 100s of kids. No joke. Pushed manager into the pool,” Sandusky wrote. The Sunset Pool’s non-resident admission rate is $15 for individuals 18-59. On Sunday, Sunset Pool visitors were required to have a physical pool pass issued by the park district, sources tell DuPage Policy Journal. Weed, Miller Lite, and “on the rocks cosmos” Glen Ellyn teens present described a chaotic scene. The flash mob brought in coolers with alcohol and speakers to play music. “They were drinking and smoking weed and swearing a lot,” a Glen Ellyn teen present at the pool at the time told DuPage Policy Journal. “Someone threw a lit cigar into the pool.” “I saw Miller Lite bottles and girls drinking on-the-rocks cosmos,” the teen said. “They were taking people’s stuff and moving it from their pool chairs.” The flash mob was originally planned for Naperville. “We bringing (sic) 31st Beach to the burbs” read a Facebook advertisement promoting the event, scheduled for Naperville’s Centennial Beach, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. “31st Beach” is a reference to 31st Street Beach on Chicago’s South Side. Giunta-Mayer is also head coach of the Glenbard West Hilltoppers Boys’ Volleyball team.)

ILLINOIS TIMES
— The college crisis. Regional universities struggle to attract students amid funding challenges, changing demographics. Back in the good old days, I was able to work my way through college and graduate from NIU debt-free and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1970. My parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 part-time while I took classes a UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and full-time during of the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.

DAILY CALLER
— Universities Need To Come Clean About The Real Meaning Of ‘Meritocracy.’ According to my Democrat and RINO leaders, when Whites and males do better than minorities and females, it is because Whites and males benefit from discrimination against minorities and females. All the minorities and females who my  Democrat and RINO superiors promoted over me a) had less experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

— More Workers in Illinois Are Quitting Their Jobs. The longer that you work for the federal government, the harder that it is to get a job in the private sector. I started working for the federal government when I was 18 years old in 1966. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in 1969. Nevertheless, Firestone Stores hired me in 1970 and Oldsmobile offered me a job in 1971. But the Firestone job did not really require the bachelor’s degree in management that I had and Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

I should write about my GAO coworkers who along with me lost their jobs because of Gingrich budget cuts and because of Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and veterans preference. I would focus on those who shared many if not most of my demographics and who “cut deals” with my GAO superiors to keep their jobs as long as possible.
