ILLINOIS SECRETARY OF STATE
— State Central Committees
(COMMENT: Who is running to serve as your representative on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee?)
https://www.ilsos.gov/

(FROM THE POSTING: The General Assembly revised the Election Code in 1984, offering an alternative composition for each State Central Committee. The State Central Committee of each political party may choose to: 1) elect one central committeeman from each congressional district; or 2) elect one male and one female committeeman from each congressional district. As a result, the Democratic Party has chosen to elect one female and one male from each congressional district, and the Republican Party has opted for one central committeeman per congressional district. State Central Committee members are elected every four years, serving four-year terms. Democratic State Central Committee members are elected in primary elections; Republican State Central Committee members are elected by precinct committeemen during county conventions. The term of the following committee members is from 2018 to 2022.)

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would focus on those who disapprove of if not hate those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, draft avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

POST MILLENNIAL
— Half of Americans rate the state of moral values in the US as ‘poor’ – Joshua Young
https://thepostmillennial.com/half-of-americans-rate-the-state-of-moral-values-in-the-us-as-poor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party has been progressively captured by its far-left base and as a result, its concept of morality has normalized attitudes of intolerance and moral superiority that they used to decry. And from racial essentialism through Critical Race Theory to radical gender theory and drag queen story hours the Left’s concept of morality is often the literal opposite of even traditional American moral values, such as free speech and equality under the law. This inversion of morality between Democrats and Republicans is indicative of increasingly irreconcilable and contrasting world views that are foreboding for the future of America.)

https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/06/sen-sheldon-whitehouse-targeting-clarence-thomas-wife/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The position of Ginni Thomas on the election was no surprise. She is a well-known Republican activist and Trump supporter. In her communications, Thomas encouraged then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to pursue legal and legislative challenges to what she viewed as a stolen election. That was a position supported by millions of voters….)

(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasing, at least since the 1970s, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) have become more and more and more anti-conservative, that is, more and more and more anti-platform Republican, that is, more and more and more anti-Republican. Expect that at the 2024 IRP State Convention, if not sooner, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the IRP, of your Republican county party organization, and of your Republican township/ward party organization will do everything that they can to replace the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the IRP platform with planks that promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, wokeism/wokeness, and replacement theory), and age discrimination. Of course, right now, they are doing everything that they can to sneak in IRP State Central Committee members who will do the aforesaid. I should write a book about past and present hate-filled conservative-hating “Republicans” who have done the most damage to the IRP since the 1970s.)
https://www.yahoo.com/news/future-illinois-gop-primary-may-100000902.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former state Rep. Tom Cross of Oswego, who was House GOP leader from 2002 to 2013, was pro-abortion rights and supported same-sex marriage. Long before the Trump era of Republicanism, the Illinois GOP was beset by constant complaints from its conservative wing that chafed over party control by what was then its establishment moderate wing, led by a quarter century of Republican governors from Jim Thompson in 1977 to Edgar in 1991 and George Ryan for one term beginning in 1999. . .The state GOP platform, last updated in 2020, still calls for enacting a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman.)

(COMMENT: When you graduated from college, what job offers did you have? When I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager at the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. Potential employers viewed me as being draft bait. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and they did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved.)

(COMMENT: The Democratic National Committee implemented gender-balancing rules in 1978 to ensure that women could participate more fairly in the party, according to the LCDC’s Executive Committee. Per the rules, each precinct in the county should be represented by two members of different genders. However, Ashleigh Strange, who ran for precinct committee person in Allentown 16-2, said being nonbinary risked their certification. Strange said future elections should have changes by the LCDC if people are to avoid being disenfranchised.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-expect-joe-biden-to-run-in-2024-theyre-less-sure-if-he-should-11655640001
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker made a weekend trip to New Hampshire, the state that typically hosts the second nominating contest in the presidential primary, after Iowa’s caucuses. He gave the keynote address at the state Democratic Party’s annual convention Saturday and on Friday attended its splashy annual fundraiser. “I don’t know if this is 2024, 2028, 2032…but listen, we’re grateful to have you in New Hampshire,” Rep. Annie Kuster (D., N.H.) said Friday to Mr. Pritzker, eliciting laughter from a packed Manchester ballroom. These kinds of party events have been stops for past presidential hopefuls. Asked if he was considering a 2024 run, Mr. Pritzker, who is up for re-election this year, told reporters in Illinois: “I can’t tell you anything other than I love the job that I have.” He met with Democratic National Committee officials last week in Washington. The governor intends to serve his full second term if he wins in November, according to a campaign official, adding that the trip was focused on electing Democratic governors. But Mr. Pritzker has stopped short of ruling out a presidential bid if Mr. Biden steps aside. The significance of an out-of-state politician coming to New Hampshire wasn’t lost on the state’s establishment class, who took Mr. Pritzker’s attendance as dipping his toe in the water. “They don’t have another good explanation [to be] in New Hampshire. That’s it,” said Bob Backus, a former state lawmaker who attended the Friday fundraiser. He said he didn’t know much about the governor, but worried Democrats might undercut Mr. Biden if 2024 speculation kept up.)
