CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats elect Ken Martin, the party leader in Minnesota, as chair of the Democratic National Committee (COMMENT: Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. Also, I served on the Steering Committee of the Illinois Center Right Coalition 2003-2007. Also, I headed Pat O’Malley’s Republican gubernatorial primary campaign in Milton Township in 2002. Also, I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Because of the aforesaid, my critics/opponents have blamed me for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party and b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have suffered losses and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, and campaign managers.. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— AUGUST 21, 2021 FLASKBACK: FAA’s shift in hiring raises concerns (COMMENT: Air traffic control staffing was involved in an audit of FAA that I worked on for GAO in the early 1980s.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2014/05/27/faas-shift-in-hiring-raises-concerns/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, a Republican from Winfield, said the FAA has failed to give lawmakers answers that justify the hiring change or show how it will improve safety. “There is a lot of secrecy about where this new program originated,” said Hultgren, who has met with air traffic controllers and aviation graduates who live in his DuPage County district. “I have not gotten adequate responses from the FAA or from the (Obama) administration.”)

But I doubt that they would have accepted me in later years a) because of ever-increasing DEI pressure and b) because of my bad demographics.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— If you really support immigration, stop excusing border chaos
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3305430/if-you-really-support-immigration-stop-excusing-border-chaos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Celebrity Selena Gomez recently posted, and then quickly deleted, a video of herself sobbing uncontrollably over the treatment of illegal immigrants being expelled by the Trump administration. Gomez was, of course, mercilessly mocked by conservatives across social media. There’s nothing really wrong with sympathizing with those trying to escape the deprivation and tyranny of the Third World. Most of us, I assume, would do the same for our families. The frustration, though, is misplaced.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Trump’s Canada and Mexico Tariffs Could Hurt Carmakers. General Motors and a few other companies make as much as 40 percent of their North American cars and trucks in Canada and Mexico, leaving them vulnerable to tariffs.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/business/economy/tariffs-trump-automakers-canada-mexico.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stellantis, which owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, produces all of its Chrysler Pacifica minivans at a plant in Windsor, Ontario. It also makes the Dodge Charger muscle car, including a new electric version, there. About two-thirds of its highly profitable Ram pickups are made in the United States, but the other third comes from a factory in Saltillo, Mexico. Stellantis did not respond to a request for comment.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump’s DEI purge targets federal workers who did not work in DEI (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, constructively, all its employees were always in DEI roles. All federal employees had to give preference to federal employees who were Democrat, and especially to those who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That is, federal employees had to discriminate against federal employees who were Republican, and especially against those who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I should write about the aforesaid.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/20/hundreds-brave-frigid-temperatures-during-march-in-chicago-on-inauguration-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Championing a variety of causes including immigrant rights, support for Palestinians and protections for women’s reproductive and LGBTQIA rights, they gathered in Federal Plaza in the Loop to rally, then set off to march to Trump Tower across the river. Demonstrators carried posters reading “Free Palestine Now!,” “Stop the Trump Agenda,” “Immigrant rights and legalization for all” and calling for an end to “police crimes.” They chanted “Donald Trump you racist clown, the people will take you down,” and “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” The rally was supported by a broad coalition of dozens of organizations, ranging from the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression to the Chicago Teachers Union, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Amid news reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids would start Tuesday in Chicago, which Trump’s border czar appeared to walk back after the reports, representatives of the groups said they were united to defend their causes in the face of Trump’s “commitment to ramp up repression.”)

— 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.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Illinois Republicans Respond to Biden Dropping Out
https://illinois.gop/illinois-republicans-respond-to-biden-dropping-out/
(PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement regarding the announcement that President Biden is no longer seeking reelection: “Today’s announcement is the culmination of years of lies from the Biden White House and Democrats shaming anyone who questioned the fitness of President Biden. Democrats are divided, torn apart by their own duplicity trying to pass off President Biden’s inability to fulfill his role, while Republicans stand united behind President Trump and an agenda of freedom, prosperity, and safety. Democrats have become the party of self-service while Republicans have become the voice of this nation. We as Illinois Republicans must continue to call attention to JB Pritzker’s tax-and-spend, pro-criminal agenda that drives families away from this state to protect the rest of the nation.”)
