Further my GPA was not that great, and while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my scores on the four parts of the examination were not that great. Further, the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young females.

Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004. Because they all were statewide races, my critics/opponents had a harder time blaming me and blaming my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Republican defeats.

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.)

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats say that Peter Pettorini, a Round Lake High teacher and Millburn District 24 school board member, is under criminal investigation. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. In Diersen’s opinion, political parties a) should be required to fully investigate candidates who want to run as a member of their party and b) to have the power and to use that power to stop bad candidates from running as a member of their party. But of course, political parties would abuse that power. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have made it extremely clear that if I ran for any kind of government office as a Republican, they would stop me. I should write a book about how MTRO destroyed me when I ran for an open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. I should write a book about how they ended my service as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, d) the webmaster for MTRO 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007, and f) a member of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board 2001-2004. I should write a book about how they a) almost stopped me from reporting which high-profile Republicans spoke at and attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, and d) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006.

— Democrats say that a Florida Republican State Senator, Blaise Ingoglia, Spring Hill, has introduced “The Ultimate Cancel Act’ to kill state Democratic Party.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) paint themselves as having been the Union Army in the Civil War and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederate Army in the Civil War. Democrats promoted the KKK and Jim Crow laws. I am proud to say that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were all Republicans. I should write a book about my Black superiors, Black supervisors, Black coworkers, and Black subordinates in the federal government who rejected tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to paint me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party is all but dead in Florida — no Democrat holds a statewide office — and now a state senator who was chairman of the Florida Republican Party is trying to kill it entirely. Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, introduced SB1248 — “The Ultimate Cancel Act” — on Tuesday, “requiring the Division of Elections to immediately cancel the filings of a political party if certain conditions exist.” Among those conditions: “If the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.” Southern Democrats wanted to continue slavery during the Civil War. Florida seceded from the U.S. when Republican Abraham Lincoln became president. That was well over 150 years ago. If passed, the new law would take effect July 1 and the Florida Democratic Party would have to reregister. Ingoglia had been a state representative and until recently, chairman of the Florida Republican Party. Last November, the multi-millionaire home builder was elected in an open district representing parts of Citrus, Hernando, Sumter, and Pasco counties. He beat Brian Moore of the Green Party; there was no Democrat in the race. Then, within weeks, he opened a campaign account as a first step in seeking re-election in 2024, according to the state Division of Elections website.)

— Democrats say that student borrowers anxiously await Supreme Court decision on federal loan forgiveness. Did you get a student loan? I did not. I doubt that I could have anyway.

My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between, instead of studying, I washed dishes to earn money for tuition and books at UIC and a new 1966 Pontic Tempest Sprint to commute to classes there from my parents’ home in Crete.

— Democrats need a day of atonement (COMMENT: I am proud to say that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were all Republicans.)
https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/opinion/2021/06/23/history-and-why-democrats-might-need-day-atonement/5309053001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the creation of June 19th (“Juneteenth”) as a federal holiday, Democrats have one more claim to be the party of civil rights and equal opportunity for African Americans, though most Republicans also voted for the holiday. That claim has been promoted for decades by a compliant media, academia and high-profile politicians, but the facts say otherwise. From Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to the mid-20th century, members of the Democratic Party, dominant in the South due to its opposition to civil and political rights for African Americans,” were on the wrong side of civil rights. Federal troops finally brought the news of emancipation to Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, meeting resistance from plantation owners. This is the same year the Ku Klux Klan was founded. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate Army general and a Democrat, was the first grand wizard of the KKK, though he tried disbanding it in 1869 after growing critical of its “excessive violence.” The Klan, which numbered 4 million members at its peak, dedicated itself as History.com notes, “to an underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters (both Black and white) in an effort to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and restore white supremacy in the South.” The Washington Examiner cited 12 examples of how Southern Democrats historically opposed civil rights while Reconstruction-era Republicans favored them. The newspaper noted Democrats voted against “every piece of civil rights legislation in Congress from 1866 to 1966.” Congressional Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which officially freed the slaves in 1865. Only four Democrats voted for it. Republicans passed the 14th Amendment in 1866, which granted American citizenship to former slaves. Not one of the 56 congressional Democrats voted for the 15th Amendment in 1869, which gave former slaves the right to vote. Republicans backed all the civil rights laws of the 1860s, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867. Their party was founded on an anti-slavery platform. Fast-forward to the 1960s. President Kennedy was reluctant to push too hard for civil rights for fear of losing Southern support. After his assassination, President Johnson claimed Kennedy was passionately for civil rights and used his death to advance legislation in Congress. Once again, powerful Democrats in the South opposed every bill. A Senate office building is named after one of them, Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia, leader of the Senate’s Southern caucus. Curious that as statues and memorials depicting former slave owners and those associated with slavery and racism have been removed from various locations, Russell’s name remains on that building. The Examiner noted a PBS program that stated, “The Democratic Party was responsible for passing Jim Crow laws, in addition to Black Civil Codes that forced Americans to utilize separate drinking fountains, swimming polls, and other facilities in the 20th century.” Chief Justice Earl Warren, a Dwight Eisenhower appointee, read the unanimous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education, declaring segregated schools unconstitutional. Eisenhower also ordered federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in the face of opposition to integrating Central High School by Gov. Orval Faubus, a Democrat. Republican Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois wrote several bills that banned discrimination in housing, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Richard Nixon, a Republican, introduced the Philadelphia Plan, the precursor to affirmative action. Republican Ronald Reagan signed legislation establishing the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday. While Democrats are now claiming another victory for themselves, they might want to consider establishing an additional special occasion. Given their party’s deplorable civil rights record, it could be called a day of atonement.)

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/robert-spencer/2023/03/01/was-jussie-smollett-right-is-chicago-maga-country-after-all-n1674879
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But maybe Jussie’s fables had a grain of truth to them: asked after her loss if she blamed racism and sexism for going down in flames at the ballot box, Lightfoot replied: “I’m a black woman in America. Of course.” And Maggie Cullerton Hooper, former deputy finance director of the Illinois Senate Democratic Victory Fund, likened Chicagoans to Trump for having the temerity to show Lightfoot the door. MAGA Country after all!)

I have always done that. But I should write a book about those Republican leaders a) who blame those who supported candidates who lost primary elections, including Pat O’Malley and Jim Oberweis, for losses suffered by candidates in general elections, including Jim Ryan and Judy Barr Topinka, and b) who destroy Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who supported candidates who lost primary elections.

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats stress that Trump calls his enemies names. Trump knows that his enemies use that against him. But Trump continues anyway. Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes negatively call me conservative, if not too conservative, if not right-wing, if not overly zealous, if not extremist, if not radical, if not fanatical, and/or stronger things. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and worse things. They stress my demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun-owner, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— Democrats ask “Can the Romney wing and the Trump wing of the GOP come together to win in 2024?” I should write a book about those Romney supporters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Romney’s problems in Illinois and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. After Romney won the Republican presidential primary in 2012, I did everything that I could to help elect Romney. But those Romney supporters ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn that.

I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years.
