The following should be issuing press releases against illegal immigration: a) Illinois Republican congressional members, b) your Republican Illinois Senator and Representative, c) Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, d) Illinois Republican Party, e) your Republican county, township, and ward organizations, f) conservative leaders and activists, and g) religious leaders and activists.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Republicans for Kamala Harris launches with Illinois GOPers Edgar, LaHood, Kinzinger, Walsh. – Lynn Sweet (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. If you help elect a Democrat, you should not be allowed to call yourself a Republican let alone hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.  For general elections, because I am a  Republican Precinct Committeeman, I am required to, and I do, help elect those candidates who win Republican primary elections, including Trump. Because my “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-conservative and/or they are filled with hatred against Trump, they have taken many big adverse actions against me; I should write about them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Harris’ campaign said the “campaign within a campaign” will send GOP endorsers on the road, kick off on-the-ground organizing efforts and use paid ads “to reach, persuade, and mobilize Republican voters.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote more hatred against Trump because Trump does not promote more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, have less money than others, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, illegals, boozers, gamblers, stones, criminals, etc.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOL:D: Democrats acknowledge that “When Brandon Johnson became mayor, he condemned an expensive staffing contract for migrant shelters that his administration inherited from his predecessor. Now with the two-year mark of the city’s asylum-seeker crisis this month, the vendor Favorite Healthcare Staffing has billed over a quarter-billion dollars for running operations at the shelters, and is likely here to stay.”

WTTW
— Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Americans ever-increasingly abuse drugs. I have never abused drugs and I never will. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1980, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, or a professional license in 1981. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980.

WSIL TV
— What it means to have a ‘Black job’ in America. – CNN (COMMENT: Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. 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, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates were Black. Many, most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents have never worked for Blacks, never worked with Blacks, or never supervised Blacks.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How much weight do you give the precinct letters that you receive from your Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC)? Sadly, a DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) leader who is a registered Republican voter (RRV) in my precinct angrily/rudely told me that she had thrown my April 2024 precinct letter ( https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/june-5-2024/ ) in her trash. In 2004, another DCRCC leader badmouthed me to another RRV in my precinct. That RRV complained about that to the RNC and the RNC reprimanded that DCRCC leader. Since I became a RPC in 1999, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DCRCC, and Illinois Republican Party who are anti-conservative and/or anti-direct election of IRP State Central Committee members have done everything that they could to discredit me and to get rid of me. MTRO got a RRV in my precinct to run against me for RPC in 2000. MTRO rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010. MTRO rudely refused to make me a delegate to the 2004 IRP State Convention. MTRO rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. MTRO, DCRCC, and/or IRP played big roles a) in almost getting the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, b) in ending my membership on the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007, c) in ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) in ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, and f) in ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. MTRO rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. IRP rudely removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. Ever-increasingly, the aforesaid MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP leaders blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I do to help elect a candidate, the fewer votes that candidate will get. In light of the aforesaid, what advice do you have for me concerning my precinct letter for the November 5, 2024 election? – Dave Diersen

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Democrats and their news media don’t even try to hide what they think of you. – Everett Piper (COMMENT: Who has a low opinion of you? Those who have a low opinion of me reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Those who have a low opinion of me destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. Those who have a low opinion of me have been defendants in lawsuits that I have filed and their attorneys. Who do you have a low opinion of? I have a low opinion of those who have used pretexts to take many big adverse actions against me.)

— How Fruitful Have Kamala Harris’s ‘Root Causes’ Efforts Been? – Andrew R.

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Report Provides Evidence of Devastating Influence of DEI on U.S. Military Operations. Report claims senior White Male officers are required to tow the DEI line, or watch their careers implode. – James Nault (COMMENT: To get promoted in the federal government you have to promote Affirmative Action and DEI big time, that is, you have to give tremendous preference to your Democrat subordinates who are minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or have severe health and/or performance problems. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, all their employees who they assigned me to supervise were many, if not most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid. I did give them tremendous preference, but that was not enough. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or no professional license like the one I had. I should write a book about all my Democrat superiors in the federal government, all their employees who they assigned me to supervise, and all their employees who they promoted over me.)

TOWNHALL
— JD Vance Puts Kamala Harris’ ‘Loyalty’ Into Question Again. – Sarah Arnold  (COMMENT: I should write about those leaders of the following who ended my roles in the following: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee (GAC), Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), and American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter (MC). I was the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, a WCC GAC member 2003-2011, the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an ICRC officer 2003-2007, and an AAPC MC board member 2001-2004.)
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2024/08/04/jd-vance-has-some-words-for-kamala-harris-n2642939
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP Vice President candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) turned the tables around on Vice President Kamala Harris after she had been questioning his loyalty. Harris is someone who pulled the rug out from her boss after a successful “coup.”  During a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday with former President Donald Trump, Vance told Harris to “look in the mirror” to see “the face of disloyalty.” Harris played a significant role in ousting President Joe Biden, who critics say was the ringleader of the most significant political coverup in modern U.S. history.)
