— Parties Forego Primary Elections in McHenry Township in Favor of Caucuses (COMMENT: It would be great if township parties would issue press releases concerning this.)
https://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/11/15/parties-forego-primary-elections-in-mchenry-township-in-favor-of-caucuses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thanks to a bill crafted in 1973 by State Senator Jack Schaffer and myself, township parties in larger townships have the option of selecting their candidates in a party caucus or a party primary. In Algonquin and Nunda Townships, the Republicans have opted for primary elections. In McHenry Township both parties have opted for caucuses to nominate their candidates.)
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponent despise/hate Trump. They blame Trump for all their problems. From what I see, because Trump won, my critics/opponents are going to take more and bigger adverse actions against me. Since 2016, my critics/opponents have blamed Trump for the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois and DuPage County and especially those candidates on the ballot in my precinct. They have painted me as being Trump’s de-facto campaign manager in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2015. In 2015, they gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021 they ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, they removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you owe your successes in life to? According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Those who do not share my demographics are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Those who do not share my demographics are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or RINO. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

— If you were nominated for something, what would your critics/opponents use against you? Mine would stress their success in a) removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my membership in the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, k) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, l) getting GAO to force me to retire in 1997, m) etc. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. (SEE: https://gop.com/about-our-party/ ) The Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. Now that Trump has won, the top priority for Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, and precinct committeemen/captains in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality should be a) countering the tremendous hatred that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have promoted against Trump and b) promoting the Republican Party platform and that Trump can and will defend and advance that platform. Those who fail/refuse to do the aforesaid should immediately resign. As long as hatred against Trump is not countered, as long as the Republican Party is not promoted, Democrats and RINOs will continue to vote for Democrats. – Dave Diersen

— Durbin questions RFK Jr., Gaetz picks; Rubio and others are ‘worthy choice’ (COMMENT: Who has picked you for what and why? The IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 picked me for a high-profile assignment in 1973 and promoted me in 1974 because of my performance on that assignment. His superiors were furious about that. They soon got rid of him. According to his superiors, he should have given the assignment to one of my coworkers who was Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Unlike my coworkers, I had been taking graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972.)

I hope that he focuses on discouraging the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

— DOGE: Examples of federal spending that could be on the chopping block (COMMENT: Because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, instead of my paying into the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), I have gotten a CSRS pension. In today’s dollars, so far, that has been $1,770,180. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years, b) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, c) earning a CPA license, and d) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.)

Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that Democrat and RINO leaders do to get rid of you: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about the success that RINO leaders have had getting rid of me. Anticipate/expect that they will recruit a registered Republican voter in my precinct to run against me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2026 like they did in 2000. Anticipate/expect that they will do everything that they can to turn the registered Republican voters in my precinct against me.)

https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/how-hegseths-tattoo-got-him-barred-from-working-at-bidens-inauguration-0bd0efeb
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The email, dated Jan. 14 and sent from a former Washington, D.C., Guard member, included an attachment showing a shirtless Hegseth with a tattoo on his bicep inscribed, “Deus Vult.” A quick google search told Gaither the Latin phrase means “God wills it,” which served as a battle cry for Christians during the Crusades and has become associated with white extremist groups, he told The Wall Street Journal. The pictures also showed that Hegseth has a large Jerusalem cross tattoo. Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross—it was the “Deus Vult” that worried him.)

The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are not the aforesaid. The aforesaid is patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
