BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats and Illinois RINOs promote Illinois Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter who drew the most audience criticism as he sought to focus on the need for post-election party unification and “respecting other perspectives” while calling for “no more RINO crap.” I should write a book about RINOs who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders.

— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, anti-conservative Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in Illinois use the Illinois Republican Party’s (IRP) “BIG TENT” policy to destroy the IRP. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Needless-to-say, those who reject planks in the Republican Party platform should not be allowed a) to hold leadership positions in the Republican Party or b) run for offices as Republicans. I should write a book about past and present anti-conservative Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO Republican leaders and candidates in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.

— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats say “GOP TENSIONS: An effort to push out Illinois Republican Party Chair Don Tracy failed Saturday. Party bylaws say a chair can’t be fired just because an election is lost. To his credit, Tracy allowed everyone, even the critics, to get in their two cents. The meeting went four hours with 60 speakers taking the mic. They each got 90 seconds, which irked folks who wanted to speak longer. The discourse revealed a party divided after an election that saw Democrats only tighten their grasp on the state legislature and Illinois Supreme Court. “It hurts because we had such high hopes,” Tracy said in a report by Tribune’s Rick Pearson. The group gathered at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Mark Vargas, the new owner of the conservative Illinois Review website and friend of Donald Trump, tried rallying opposition to Tracy. “This movement isn’t going away. It is just beginning,” Vargas said, according to Pearson’s report. “Are we better off today than we were six months ago? No. Are you better off today than we were 12 months ago? No.” The audience echoed his “nos.” The call to arms may have ginned up support for Vargas’ media company but not much else. Tracy continues to lead the party along with Vice Chair Mark Shaw, Treasurer Laura Pollastrini and Secretary Jan Weber. And for those wondering, Vince Kolber is the GOP finance committee chair — and he’s been a registered Illinois voter since 1988 (to clarify misinformation that’s been posted in other places). If you’re former Illinois GOP Chair Tim Schneider, we’d like your take on the state of the Republican Party today.” Will Politico Illinois ask me for my take? I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Treasurer to Grassroots During Meeting: “If You Haven’t Donated, Then Why Are You Here?” (COMMENT: My critics/opponents blast me for my not giving them money. In my defense, I give them free GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions that are worth at least $1,000/year. Of course, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn those subscriptions as being worthless.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2022/12/il-gop-treasurer-to-grassroots-during-meeting-if-you-havent-donated-then-why-are-you-here.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a quarterly IL Republican Party State Central Committee (SSC) meeting in Bolingbrook on Saturday, approximately 200 conservative grassroots activists filled the room in a stunning display to publicly share their grievances about the disappointing losses during the November 8th election; the lack of support they received from the party; and demanding that chairman Don Tracy resign. The GOP leaders were visibly stunned and far outnumbered, with many of the grassroots activists driving more than five hours to attend Saturday’s meeting. Joining the grassroots were many former GOP candidates, including Lt.Gov. candidate Stephanie Trussell, attorney general candidate Tom DeVore, US Senate candidates Peggy Hubbard and Matt Dubiel, former state senate candidate Christine McGovern, former congressional candidates Ashley Ramos, Rob Cruz, Cathy O’Shea, Jack Lombardi, Nikki Conforti and Jim Marter, and many more. The meeting was long, with many state central committee members praising Tracy during their committee updates and talking about the “red wave” that the GOP experienced in local races in counties like Gallatin, Coles, Hardin, Jefferson and Marion – counties unfamiliar to most people in the room, including SSC members. But the most shocking moment of the day occurred when IL GOP Treasurer and chairman of the finance committee Vince Kolber, a multi-millionaire businessman addressed the crowd bragging about how the party raised $2.2 million this cycle (compared to Pritzker spending $152 million), and then asking the room full of hardworking grassroots conservatives, “I assume all of you have donated to the IL GOP?” And when the room yelled back, “No!” He replied, “No, then what are you doing here?” The belittling and out-of-touch comment drew an immediate reaction from the crowd, still stunned that a GOP leader would say something so offensive to a room full of people where many of them had driven hours, just for their voices to be heard. And sources confirmed to Illinois Review that Kolber is registered to vote in Wisconsin and voted there on Nov. 8th despite serving as a leader of the IL GOP. But the shocking moments were not yet over. Leaping to Kolber’s defense was SSC member and grassroots-supported Jeanne Ives, who screamed, “This is not your problem! This man gave me $750,000 when I ran against Gov. Bruce Rauner!” Ives’ burst drew applause from SSC members, including Tracy, but angered the majority of grassroots in the room. Proving a point that Illinois Review has made many times in previous articles, the IL GOP establishment’s obsession with money. If you don’t donate, you don’t matter. And if you donate, you are somehow immune from criticism and can say anything you want. No wonder the IL GOP can’t win an election – they can’t even win over the grassroots.)

https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2022/12/12/illinois_oligarchy_offers_lesson_for_national_democracy_869586.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Big money has determined the past three gubernatorial election outcomes in Illinois. Gone are the days of the Illinois political machine and blue-dog Democrats who built patronage armies and rank-and-file majorities. Illinois politics is now, more than ever, a dollars and cents game run by an oligarchy of rich insiders. That means Illinois is on its way to being a state where special interests can outweigh the voices of the everyday people – unless the people do something about it. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker makes up the first half of that elite group. The wealthiest sitting politician in the country, Pritzker has broken records by spending a total of $323 million on his past two gubernatorial campaigns – approximately $70 per vote in 2022. Then, he spent millions more to ensure which opponent would win the Republican primary: Darren Bailey, a downstate, conservative farmer perceived as easier to beat than moderate Richard Irvin. If any one person can buy not only their candidacy but also buy their opponent, what true voice do voters have?)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— Feeling Entitled Can Stunt Your Child’s Motivation – David Schwartz (COMMENT: What factors motivated you to take college preparatory courses in high school, to get good grades in high school, to get a good ACT score, and to earn a bachelor’s degree? For me, factors included a) my seeing my father’s increasing regret for not having earned a bachelor’s degree, b) my wanting to show my appreciation to my parents for their sending me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, c) my knowing that my father’s ability to help me financially was limited because of his having brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood and not having a bachelor’s degree, d) my knowing that his life expectancy was dramatically shortened because of his diabetes, e) my seeing his income being significantly less than our neighbors in Crete who had college degrees, and d) my knowing that my mother’s ability to help me financially was limited by her never having attended high school.)
