— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats say “Several Illinois sheriffs claim assault weapons ban violates constitutional right to bear arms.”
https://abc7chicago.com/illinois-sheriffs-assault-weapons-ban-weapon-bans-2023-gun-laws/12699694/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing cadre of sheriffs in the Chicago area – in McHenry, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage, La Salle, Grundy, and Kankakee counties – have publicly written that they will not enforce the Protect Illinois Communities Act, saying it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. . .DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick is among the most recent law enforcement chief to say he and his deputies won’t be checking to make sure legal gun owners have registered their weapons with the state. The sheriff said they won’t be arresting and holding law abiding gun owners in jail for not complying with the law. However, the DuPage County’s Board president publicly disagrees. She led a vote to ban assault weapons across the county after the Fourth of July massacre in Highland Park. “These are folks that are entrusted by the public to enforce the law. They don’t get to choose which laws they enforce. They must enforce what we’ve written into the code — the General Assembly, signed by the governor, and they will do so,” said Governor JB Pritzker. . .As sheriffs in DuPage County, and elsewhere, take sides, the new gun law is nearly guaranteed to be challenged in court.)
— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats crow that “Pritzker signs bill protecting reproductive, gender-affirming health care” and “Planned Parenthood of Illinois said since Roe overturned, it has seen more out-of-state patients than ever.” Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats promote abortion and LGBTQ.

DUPAGE COUNTY
— COMMENT: DuPage County Democrats say “Statement attributable to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy: “I was disappointed to read the statement released today by DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick. On October 25, the DuPage County Board heard a moving account provided by Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering. She detailed the devastating impact one shooter and one assault weapon had on her town. That day, the Board voted to support a state ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Illinois Public Act 102-1116 accomplishes those two goals. As Chair of the DuPage County Board, I stand behind the legislation passed to ban assault weapons. As Governor Pritzker has said, ‘You don’t get to choose which laws you comply with in the state of Illinois.’ And I believe, in DuPage County, we should not be playing politics with state laws.” Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats erode Second Amendment rights.

Many, if not most of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are/were big drinkers. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superior who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me. He forced me to suffer a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. He delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and stopped me from getting any more promotions. He kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. He always gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. He always turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. He always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. If he had not gone on extended sick leave because of his heavy drinking 1985-1987, he would have succeeded in a) stopping me from being assigned to any audits of IRS in 1986 and b) stopping me from getting promoted to GS-13 in 1986. He disapproved of my demographics, especially that I was conservative, Republican, draft-avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and I lived in Wheaton since 1978. He was especially envious of my wife’s income and her job travel that enabled us to stay at many luxury resorts and visit many national parks 1978-1992. He stressed to my superiors that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. He hinted/implied/argued/shouted that we had lied about our wanting to have children and that we were just selfish rich DINKs. He disapproved of my bringing with me when I transferred from IRS almost 12 years of federal seniority and many unused vacation days and sick days. He was especially furious that I got almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 part-time. He crowed to me that he had succeeded in getting Congress to end that seniority benefit. He was furious that because of my federal seniority that I earned working for the Post Office and IRS, I got a preferred corner office in 1990 and was eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old )

I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are and the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you 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: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American. In my defense, while I am all of the aforesaid and my ancestors have been in America since 1844, all my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois and none of them discriminated against anyone. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My grandfather on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. My father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. My ancestors who were men worked in a brick factory, were farmers, sold horses, operated a hardware store, and/or worked in the office of a chemical plant. The women were homemakers.

CITY OF AUSTIN
— COMMENT: Austin Democrats say “City of Austin to Connect Asylum Seekers with Flights to Sponsor Destinations. A sponsor could be a family member, friend, agency or faith-based organizations.” How many sponsors are there a) in your municipality, b) in your township, and c) in your county? How many illegals have they sponsored? How many illegals will they sponsor?

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— Just 2% of CPAs in U.S. accounting firms are Black – Derrick Lilly (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, one GAO’s extremely few Black CPAs worked for me. To retain him and to advance him, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” They gave him my job and my preferred corner office. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes approve of the aforesaid, if not applaud the aforesaid. According to them, because of my demographics, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German America, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Further, they stress that I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30 years old and I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 years old.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Political positions of the Republican Party (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who want the Republican Party to dump the following planks in its platform: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I would focus on my critics/opponents who are 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) unsuccessful 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, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued. Would my critics/opponents be satisfied if the aforesaid planks were modified to say that the Republican Party opposes the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, erosion of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination (including Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparation, wokeness/wokeism), and age discrimination?)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What does the future hold for you? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

From what I see spending 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out, the more of the following that you are, the more bleak that your future is: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German America, and/or if your ancestors have been America for a long time.

Ever-increasingly, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you 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.

Ever-increasingly, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the less that Republican, conservative, and religious organizations come to your defense.

Ever-increasingly, Democrats are succeeding in replacing those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats.

Demographics that vote for Republicans include: conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, healthy, non-poor, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German America, and/or if your ancestors have been America for a long time.

Demographics that vote for Democrats include: liberal, moderate, minority, female, LGBTQ, disabled, poor, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German America, and/or those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time.

Overwhelmingly, those who are in America illegally have demographics that vote for Democrats. Ever-increasingly, they will vote for Democrats.

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

How soon will Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs succeed in getting the Republican Party a) to officially dump the following planks in its platform: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving); b) to officially dump party leaders who support the aforesaid planks; c) to officially dump voters who support the aforesaid planks; and d) to officially dissolve the Republican Party?
