— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump is the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. If you are a Republican and not a RINO, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, or Independent plant and if you are not involved in Republican politics to get more preference for yourself and/or for those who share your demographics, please consider being a delegate to the Illinois Republican Party State Convention at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville May 24 and 25 – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
I have been a delegate to all the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Conventions since 2000. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee at the 2008 convention and I will serve again on that committee this year representing the 3rd Congressional District.
Illinois counties are allowed one delegate for every 500 Republican ballots cast in the preceding primary. Approximately 50,000 Republican ballots were cast in the March 19 primary in DuPage County, so approximately 100 can be delegates from DuPage County. If you are interested in being a delegate, contact the chairman of your Republican county party organization as soon as possible. Statutes call for delegates to be approved at County Conventions. The DuPage County Republican County Convention will be held on April 17 at the DuPage County Auditorium.
Registration for the convention is $75 and that covers training sessions on Friday and Saturday, welcome reception Friday evening, attendance at the General Session, and other events that are being scheduled. The registration form is at: https://rcca.gop/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IRSC-Registration-Form.pdf A convention volunteer sign up form is at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuK6xKCAxz-a7cUkUn_TSaQbbV48UvBTbeXUBzzlzJlWFiVQ/viewform Hotel information is at: https://rcca.gop/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IRSC-Hotel-Sheet.pdf GOPUSA ILLINOIS will have a table in the vendor hall.
Delegates will vote on various resolutions brought to the convention floor. The full schedule for the convention is currently being finalized and will be published once complete. At the convention, delegates play a crucial role in shaping party decisions and policies. The convention is an unparalleled opportunity to network with fellow activists and right-thinking people.
Delegate responsibilities include:
— Representation: Delegates represent their local communities or districts. They participate in discussions, vote on party matters, and advocate for their constituents’ interests.
— Selecting Candidates: Delegates help choose party candidates for various offices such as National Committeeman and National Committeewoman, and delegates to the Republican National Convention.
— Platform Development: Delegates influence the party’s platform, and ultimately approve the party’s platform. The platform outlines the party’s stance on critical issues.
— Networking and Advocacy: Delegates interact with fellow party members, build connection, and advocate for specific policies or candidates.
Attending the convention is a great way to get involved in the Republican Party and network with like-minded conservatives.

My Democrat GAO superiors misled me into believing that they nevertheless were going to let me work until I was eligible to take regular retirement when I would be 55 years old in 2003. But when was 49 years old in September of 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired on September 30, 1997. They would have let me work until I was eligible to take early retirement if I had not became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would not have become an active member in that lawsuit if they had not outrageously a) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) given me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, and d) thrown me off audits of IRS in 1988.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Democrats should be jittery about Pennsylvania voter registration trends – Salena Zito
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2954573/democrats-should-be-jittery-about-pennsylvania-voter-registration-trends/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you are a longtime resident of Pennsylvania, it still is a bit of a jolt to the senses to drive through what was once coal country and see an oversized, cheery, red billboard sitting along U.S. 30 reading “VOTE REPUBLICAN.” However, it is a reminder of how much the people who live in these old industrial and coal-rich counties have shed the local Democratic politics of their upbringing. Voter registration numbers, as we shall see, show as much. Important to note: These voters have not changed personally, but their parties have done so. Democrats have abandoned their working-class voters for college-educated elites who rarely call the middle of somewhere home. Officials in both parties in Washington — whether they are lawmakers on Capitol Hill or strategists working for one of the alphabet soup campaign arms of the House, Senate, or state legislatures, or a staffer for any of them — often struggle with how to appeal to these citizens.)

A long-term study done in the Netherlands showed that over time, children grow out of their gender confusion. The study was conducted over 25 years using 2,772 11-year-olds from the general population. They were asked periodically to respond to the statement, “I wish to be the opposite sex.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Adams offered a sarcastic helping hand to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during his New York City stay, saying Thursday that the Republican could sleep in a migrant shelter “so he can see what he has created.” Abbott, who has helped feed the migrant crisis in the city through a policy of busing thousands of migrants from Texas since 2022, was expected to be in New York for an annual Republican fundraiser. His sojourn to the Big Apple is widely viewed as a window into the GOP’s strategic thinking as the presidential contest and national congressional races heat up. Asked about the governor’s visit, Adams suggested Abbott lodge in one of the many Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, or HERRCs, that the city has set up to accommodate the more than 180,000 migrants who’ve flooded in during Adams’ term in City Hall. “I’m going to offer him a stay in one of the HERRCs, so he can see what he has created and understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect that he should have shown,” Adams said during a press conference in City Hall. “I’m not quite sure why he’s here and what he’s doing while here,” the mayor continued. “But he’s going to see how you can manage the crisis with coordination.” Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to an email and declined to comment over the phone. For months, Adams has lambasted Abbott for failing to coordinate with the city in his response to the migrant situation and has blamed him for pawning off the crisis on cities around the U.S. He has also criticized President Biden over national immigration policy. The mayor, as well, has weathered his own criticisms, with advocates pouncing on him for seeking to diminish the city’s right to shelter law and for the waits for shelter some migrants have experienced. Adams has contended that his administration has been successful in encouraging migrants to find housing elsewhere by limiting shelter stays to 30 or 60 days. In January, he and the city’s top lawyer announced the city was suing 17 charter bus companies responsible for transporting migrants to New York. On Thursday night, Abbott addressed his policy of sending migrants to New York City, drawing a rebuke from an Adams spokesman. The Texas governor attempted to place blame for the policy on Adams, claiming he only started sending migrants to New York City after coming under criticism from the mayor. “After a while I figured, gosh, if I’m gonna get the criticism, I want to get the credit and thus began the busing of illegal migrants to the sanctuary city of New York,” he said at the state GOP’s annual gala at the Hilton in Midtown. The mayor’s office disputed that account. “Remember that [Abbott] lied in 2022 about this and falsely claimed we never reached out when we found he was bussing migrants to NYC before he finally admitted to doing so,” tweeted Adams spokesman Fabien Levy.)

The Chicago Department of Public Health said ‘a small number of cases’ were reported ‘in a few different shelters’ around the city. Health officials confirmed a fifth of Latin American arrivals carry TB, but it usually latent, not contagious, and asymptomatic.
