CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD & WAND TV
— Democrats say that Gingrich tweets that “Florida blogger registration bill ‘insane.” The bill only applies to those who are paid to write. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Who pays Gingrich to write what he writes and how much? I should write a book about a) those who pay my critics/opponents and b) how much they pay them. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I had to report to them annually a) the source of my outside income (Firestone Stores in 1971 and 1972) and b) the source of my wife’s income. Because they always had full access to my federal income tax returns, they knew what the amounts were. Again, he who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one pays me for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. My income is my Civil Service Retirement System pension and my Social Security.

WJOL
— Democrats say “Illinois Promoting New Initiative To Address Teacher Shortage.” The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who would take the jobs. They were so desperate that they hired me even those I was non-veteran, conservative, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. They wrongly anticipated that with enough pressure, I would become a Democrat. They wrongly gave too much weight to the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that my mother never attended high school, d) that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, and e) that the adverse actions that they started taking against me in 1968 would work.

— Democrats say “High prices, gaps in availability across Illinois highlight patchwork child care system. ” Since the 1940s, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me, my father, my mother, and my brother as being undeservedly filthy rich because my father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother’s employment opportunities were poor because she never attended high school.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Bad blood between Trump, Fox News colors 2024 presidential race – Seth McLaughlin (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Sooner or later, if not already, my critics/opponents will officially charge me with unethically using my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to tip the 2024 Republican Illinois presidential primary scales a) to Trump, b) to DeSantis, and/or c) to other Republican presidential candidates. Who will come to my defense? So far, no one has publicly complained about those who almost succeeded in stopping me from getting press credentials to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. Expect that those who support those primary candidates who lose will charge me with unethically promoting other candidates. They did that big time for the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Bill Brady supporters blamed me big time for Brady’s defeat. They almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 annual convention in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall. To this day, Jim Ryan supporters blame me big time for Ryan’s losing to Blagojevich in 2002. Democrats always do everything that they can to assure that those candidates who win Republican primaries are the ones who Democrats believe are the easiest to defeat in general elections.)
