AUGUST 15, 2024 EVENING EDITION

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Republican Day Rally Kicks Off Race to November!
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(THE PRESS RELEASE:  Illinois Republicans came together to rally for Republican
Day at the State Fair. The rally, held at the Director’s Lawn of the Illinois
State Fairgrounds, brought together candidates, activists, and voters from all
across the state in support of Republicans up and down the ballot. The Illinois
Republican party issued more than 1,500 tickets to passionate Republicans and
helped kicked off the final 80 days to Election Day as Democrats descend on
Chicago for the Democratic National Convention to see just what decades of
leftist leadership does to a city. “Our nation doesn’t need another radical
leftist from a deep blue state continuing the disastrous Bidenomics policies
that are crippling the nation’s economy,” said Illinois Republican Party Chair
Kathy Salvi. “Illinois Republicans will play a critical role this cycle in
stopping Kamala Harris and JB Pritzker from spreading their influence of leftist
progressive policies across the nation.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thursday is Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair in
Springfield. The party faithful are gathering to drum up energy and excitement
for the November election. And party leaders are pushing for early voting and
party unity. Republicans may be the super minority party in Illinois, but, as
they came together Thursday, there was a sense of hope that maybe this election
cycle they can bring about some change. At the Republican county chair’s
breakfast, leaders rallied the troops, and issued a call to action with a
different approach toward voting. “We will work hard to bank as many
pre-Election Day votes as possible, and overwhelm the Democrats with Republican
votes because the political party that votes for weeks and months will
mathematically beat the party that only goes for one day,” Illinois GOP Chair
Kathy Salvi said. Republicans are hoping to regain some momentum that they felt
after the Republican National Convention last month, to blunt the Democrats’
current wave of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. “I mean, the excitement was there.
It was real. It was palpable. And certainly on the heels of that, the Democrats
saw, and they had to make a change really quickly. I call what they’ve got going
on now a blip. And it certainly is a blip,” Chair Rhonda Belford said. House
Republican Leader Tony McCombie agreed. “I think they are excited because it’s
not Biden. They didn’t plan properly, and now they’re cleaning up their mess,”
McCombie said. Republicans are honing their messaging around kitchen table
issues, seeing the economy as a top concern for voters. “I think it’s really
incumbent upon us right now to stop, reflect and make sure we remind people what
this party truly stands for and what this party has done,” said state Sen. John
Curran, Senate minority leader. “When you’re out doing a speech, the three Cs:
Crime, corruption, cost of living, it resonates with everyone. And you can fit
everything into those silos,” state Senate Assistant Republican Leader Terri
Bryant said.
Republicans are also hopeful about gaining a few seats in the state legislature,
and maybe even flipping some suburban congressional districts. Weather
permitting, they were expected to gather at the Director’s Lawn for a rally set
for noon.)

— Illinois Republicans aim to gain momentum in November elections. – Tahman
Bradley, Eli Ong
https://wgntv.com/politics-3/illinois-republicans-aim-to-gain-momentum-in-november-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thursday at the Illinois State Fair was a day entirely
dedicated to the Republican Party. GOP candidates across the ballot stepped up
to the lectern, making pitches to their Republican constituents. “I’m working as
hard as I can to make our state great, and to take back our country,” said Mark
Rice, GOP candidate for Illinois’ 8th congressional district. “It’s time as
Republicans we stand up and we say no! Enough is enough!” said Niki Conforti,
GOP candidate for Illinois’ 6th congressional district. Bob Fioretti, a GOP
candidate for Cook County State’s Attorney, used his time at the mic to lament
the left’s stance on crime. “The Democratic view of crime is what?” Fiortetti
said. “Well, the criminal defendant is a the good guy, the police are the bad
guys and the victims, they don’t count.” Republican hopefuls in the State of
Illinois like these three are also turning to Mundelein attorney Kathy Salvi,
who was charged with taking the helm of the Illinois GOP earlier this summer.
“Our fight, fight, fight is at the ballot box this November 2024,” Salvi said at
the state fair Thursday. While Salvi leads a rebuilding organization and aims to
unite Donald Trump conservatives with moderate Republicans, the north suburban
attorney is also working to fill up the party’s campaign coffers, which have
been left low after former Governor Bruce Rauner and Citadel chief Ken Griffin
moved out of state. “We’ve got to grow those small dollar donors that believe
the way we do and get them to invest locally first and then roll that up,” said
Jeannie Ives, a former Illinois State Representative. GOP members at the state
fair also capitalized on talking up Trump, with the Democratic National
Convention set to take over Chicago next week. “The left is so excited that they
have a candidate with a pulse, that’s a fairly lower bar,” said Mark Whitaker,
former acting U.S. Attorney General. “We have a president who not only had a
pulse, he has a fire inside of him to save this country.” To connect with
voters, Republicans have simplified their message, choosing to focus on a better
economy, a secure southern border and safer communities. With the tweak, the GOP
aims for small gains in November, with the governor’s contest in 2026 being the
real prize down the line. “This is about the Republican turnout,” said Illinois
House GOP Leader Toni McCombie. “Because for us, it’s about the next governor’s
race because if we can show we can have a great turnout, we’re going to get a
great Republican candidate.”)
— Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair began with a party breakfast and
remarks from new party chief Kathy Salvi, who just took the helm within the last
couple of months and has a big job ahead of her.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Republicans admit ‘we got lazy’ in blue Illinois — but vow at state fair to
boost GOP turnout. State Republican leaders are urging local candidates to stay
the course on issues of crime, economics and corruption to help chip away at
Democratic strongholds in the suburbs — and not to rely on a bump from former
President Donald Trump. – Mitchell Armentrout
https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2024/08/15/republicans-illinois-state-fair-kathy-salvi
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans sought to reclaim their own national convention
momentum at the Illinois State Fair before Democrats throw their big party in
Chicago next week, with GOP leaders on Thursday shrugging off positive polling
for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and warning of a generational
“train wreck” if she takes the White House. Illinois’ GOP delegation left the
Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month buzzing with optimism
around former President Donald Trump’s odds against President Joe Biden. Now
with Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, atop the ticket,
state Republican leaders are urging local candidates to stay the course on
issues of crime, economics and corruption to help them chip away at Democratic
strongholds in the suburbs. “Republicans will bring a stop to the crime in our
unsafe neighborhoods,” newly elected state GOP Chair Kathy Salvi said at her
party’s rain-soaked rally. “Republicans will attack the cost of living and this
inflation that’s gone to unprecedented levels. And, sadly to say, we have
learned how to export the culture of corruption to other states, and that’s
going to end once we have Republican control.” “We’re ready for the type of
governance that we need not only in Illinois, but in America. The Harris-Walz
administration will be a train wreck not just for us, but for all future
generations,” Salvi said. No Republicans have held statewide office in Illinois
since Gov. JB Pritzker unseated former Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2018, and the GOP
remains outnumbered by Democratic super-majorities in both chambers of the
General Assembly. Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna,
argued the party could snag several seats back from Democrats in November. But
first, she said, Republicans need to acknowledge how they’ve ceded control to
Democrats in recent years. “We are dealing with a party who wants to destroy
small business, hurt our most vulnerable and make families feel that they need
to be reliant on government for everything,” McCombie said of Democrats. “How
did they do that? We let them. We got lazy. We believed the lie that our voice
and our vote does not matter, but it matters.” “This isn’t this election isn’t
just about a presidential race,” she said. “It’s about setting the stage for the
next governor’s race. Our turnout in this race will be instrumental in
determining the future leadership for Illinois.” Earlier, Illinois Senate
Minority Leader John Curran downplayed the local impact of Harris’ entry into
the race, and he advised state candidates not to rely on Trump or his running
mate, JD Vance, to bolster turnout. “Down-ballot races are individual races,”
the Downers Grove Republican said outside a joint meeting of the Republican
Party State Central Committee and county chairs. “Candidates need to continue,
especially in the suburbs, to present themselves and not rely on national waves
or national trends. They have to build their own image in the suburbs. That’s
what we’re doing, working with the candidates that we have throughout the
state,” Curran said. Palatine Township Republican Chairman and state central
committeeman Aaron Del Mar said he expects Harris’ candidacy to boost Illinois
Democratic turnout, “but the honeymoon won’t last forever.” “Democrats are on a
little bit of a sugar high right now. I think when she actually starts taking
questions from the press and is getting scrutinized by the press, I think a lot
of that will change. I mean,” Del Mar said. “I think there’s a reason why she
hasn’t answered questions [from the media] since becoming the nominee.” Salvi
called for a renewed focus on driving early voting and mail-in balloting, both
areas in which Democrats have vastly outpaced Republicans as Trump has
consistently raised unfounded concerns about the legitimacy of the process. “We
will work hard to bank as many pre-Election Day votes as possible and overwhelm
the Democrats with Republican votes, because the political party that votes for
weeks and months will mathematically beat the party that only votes for one
day,” Salvi told central committee members, referencing her own failed 2022
campaign against Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill. “I won two years ago, the day-of
vote, but we got slaughtered in the early and mail-in ballots. So once we
compete in this way, we will win elections,” Salvi said. She called it a
critical tactic in “stopping Harris and JB Pritzker from spreading the influence
of their leftist propaganda across the nation.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: PRINGFIELD — While their political opponents may have enjoyed
the rainy weather that delayed Republicans’ annual Illinois State Fair rally,
party leaders took a different view as they sought to energize supporters. “Does
anybody feel a little thunder in the movement?” Illinois Republican Party Chair
Kathy Salvi asked supporters who attended the event on the director’s lawn at
the state fairgrounds. “We had thunder before, a little rain,” she continued,
addressing conditions that caused the proceedings to start about 40 minutes
late. “But there’s no (one gonna) rain on this parade today. In fact, I think
rain is a sign, it’s a good omen for us for our November results.” Salvi and
other party leaders remained bullish on their chances of winning back the White
House and making a dent in down-ballot races in deep blue Illinois this
November, carrying the good feelings from the Republican National Convention in
Milwaukee last month to their annual rally at the state fairgrounds on Thursday.
Party faithful were unfazed by the withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the
race and the elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party
nominee. The shakeup, days after Trump accepted the Republican presidential
nomination, has significantly boosted Democratic enthusiasm in recent weeks, and
recent polling results suggested the race will be very tight in key swing
states. At their annual rally, GOP leaders doubled down on the themes from last
month’s national convention. Salvi telling party activists that they will
“communicate door to door” and “in the grocery store line” on the issues of
crime, cost of living and Illinois’ culture of political corruption. The state
party remains firmly aligned with Trump, who has lost the state twice by 17
percentage points. Salvi remained undaunted, asserting that the past is not
necessarily a predictor of these election results and that Trump has a “winning
message.” “I think after this little tiny last two-week honeymoon is over,
people are going to be coming back and saying, ‘we have to elect Trump-Vance’
and ‘the Republicans offer solutions and hope,'” Salvi said. “And this is the
message that I’m projecting throughout the state.” In past years, Trump
represented a major fissure within the state party. Many prominent GOP leaders,
such as former Gov. Bruce Rauner and former House Republican Leader Jim Durkin,
either opposed Trump or kept him at arm’s length even while he was firmly
embraced by the conservatives grassroots. But that past ambivalence towards
Trump has been all but replaced by full allegiance within the tent of the state
party. The signs on Thursday were both subtle and obvious, from the presence of
life-sized cutouts of Trump and vice presidential running mate JD Vance in the
Republican’s tent at the state fair to the appearance of Trump ally and former
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker as keynote speaker at their rally. As a
party, Illinois Republicans are at their weakest point in a generation. They
hold no statewide offices, represent a superminority in the state legislature
and hold only three of 14 congressional seats. House Republican Leader Tony
McCombie, R-Savana, whose caucus is at a 78-40 disadvantage to Democrats, said
the reason is simple: “We got lazy.” McCombie said her aim is to win back five
seats in November, which would still leave Republicans in the superminority but
chip away at a House Democratic caucus that House Speaker Chris Welch,
D-Hillside, has coined “The Great 78.” This, McCombie said, would set the party
up to be competitive in the 2026 governor’s race. “We Republicans know that we
have a challenge in November,” McCombie said. “But we also understand that this
election is about looking forward. This election isn’t just about a presidential
race, it isn’t just about us wrecking ‘The Great 78.’ “It’s about setting the
stage for the next governor race,” she continued. “Our turnout in this race will
be instrumental in determining the future leadership for Illinois. This election
cycle is about us … it’s about us showing up.” Whitaker, from Iowa, noted that
his home state was controlled by Democrats as recently as the Obama
administration. “So this can be turned around quickly,” he said of the party’s
performance. Salvi, speaking earlier in the day to a joint meeting of the
Illinois Republican State Central Committee and the Illinois Republican County
Chairman’s Association, told party activists that turning out more voters was
the key to winning elections in the state. To do that, she reiterated the need
for Republicans to embrace early voting and vote-by-mail, saying that “the
political party that votes for weeks and months will mathematically beat the
party that only votes for one day.” When Republicans left Milwaukee last month,
many were convinced that Trump would defeat Biden in November. On Thursday, they
were confident in Trump’s ability to defeat Harris, though they acknowledged the
shift in enthusiasm. “I think they are excited because it’s not Biden,” McCombie
said. “They didn’t plan properly and now they’re cleaning up their mess. So here
we are.” McCombie added that it will be “no different campaign” against Harris
as compared to the one against Biden. “Whether it was Joe Biden or whether it
was Kamala or any Democrat at the top of the ticket, we would run a race to win,
and that’s what we’re gonna do,” she said. Joshua Loyd, the Republican nominee
taking on Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-Springfield, in the 13th Congressional
District, said he was unsure if the switch from Biden to Harris would change any
votes in races that are lower on the ballot. “In terms of down the ballot, it’s
still a little bit early to know,” Loyd said. “We have seen a little bit of an
uptick in the Democratic base reactivating, but we’re also seeing it decline as
well because Kamala Harris isn’t necessarily the brightest bulb. But she is
popular among the base.” Either way, Illinois Senate Republican Leader John
Curran, R-Downers Grove, said he is encouraging his candidates to focus on their
own races and to try to avoid national ebbs and flows. “Candidates need to
continue, especially in the suburbs, to present themselves and not rely on
national waves or national trends,” Curran said. “They have to build their own
image in the suburbs. That’s what we’re doing, working with candidates that we
have throughout this state.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politics continued taking over the Illinois State Fair
Thursday with Republican Day. In Springfield at the fairgrounds Wednesday,
Democrats during Governor’s Day said their piece on why they need more power.
Thursday, Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi said Democrats bring taxpayers “one big
hurt.” “All the mistakes in Springfield are being saddled on our poor small
businesses and residents of this state and that has got to end,” she said. Salvi
said poor policies are driving crime, excessive business regulations, high taxes
and continued outmigration. Senate Minority Leader John Curran, R-Downers Grove,
echoed that and said Democrats have delivered, but not good things. “Democrats
delivered hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to companies with ties to the
Chinese Communist Party while forcing businesses to pay more,” Curran said.
Curran also said Illinois Democrats have delivered a billion dollar tax
increase, the third highest unemployment rate in the nation, second highest
property taxes and the most corrupt state. Wednesday, House Speaker Emanuel
“Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, said Democrats aim to get even more seats for their
supermajority. Thursday, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, said
more Democrats will hurt taxpayers by allowing them to pass bigger budgets onto
taxpayers. “So, I don’t know if he wants five more progressives that can be
tax-and-spend Democrats? I know that’s what Illinoisans do not want and that’s
certainly, in the suburbs, they don’t want that,” McCombie told The Center
Square. “They’re already having high cost issues right now, inflation, high
property tax, high groceries, high gas, they don’t want that either.” McCombie
noted the most recent budget that barely passed in the early morning hours in
late May took three attempts because there weren’t enough Democrats willing to
go along with the largest spending plan in state history. Another line Democrats
used in their messaging Wednesday was to call Republicans “weird.” McCombie
responded with a phrase for Democrats. “They’re just out of touch,” McCombie
said. “They’re out of touch.” After last month’s Republican National Convention
in Milwaukee where former President Donald Trump received the official party
nomination, Democrats will gather in Chicago for their national convention to
officially nominate Kamala Harris.)

‘honeymoon period’ – JERRY NOWICKI
https://capitolnewsillinois.com/news/notes-quotes-illinois-gop-needs-a-little-mothering-as-new-chair-walks-familiar-trump-tightrope
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite a weather delay, Illinois Republicans gathered at the
state fairgrounds Thursday to hear party leaders’ plans for whittling away at
Democratic dominance. For the third straight election season, the party is
grappling with a presidential candidate that’s far more popular with the party’s
base than the Illinois electorate at large. Former President Donald Trump has
lost Illinois by roughly 17 percentage points each of the last two cycles –
roughly level with Mitt Romney’s performance as the GOP nominee in 2012. Kathy
Salvi, the GOP’s new chair, took over position last month after former chair Don
Tracy resigned. The mother of six and unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate in
2022 once again referred to the ILGOP as her “165-year-old seventh child.”  “I
think we need a little mothering in this party,” she told fairgoers. “Don’t you
agree? Well, yeah, a little or a lot, I heard someone say. Well, let’s start
with a little and work it on up.” She takes over a GOP that holds no statewide
elected offices and is relegated to superminorities in each chamber of the
General Assembly. Her message has been one of healing from the party infighting
cited in her predecessor’s resignation letter. “I just want any one of you here
to remember any recent conversation where there was a disagreement at your
family, your own family’s dinner table, okay?” Salvi said at a morning
Republican State Central Committee meeting prior to the fair. “And sometimes you
have to just rise above it all. What are we on mission for? We’re on mission to
elect Trump, Vance and everyone down ticket.” Senate Republican Leader John
Curran, of Downers Grove, focused on the GOP’s accomplishments that predate
Trump – stretching from the 1860s through the early 2000s – in his breakfast
speech. “We got to remind people that this is the party that ended slavery,”
Curran said. “This is the party that legislated and passed women’s rights to
vote. This is the party that passed civil rights. That this is the party that
fought the war on terror.” Curran briefly attended last month’s Republican
National Convention in Milwaukee, but he didn’t address the Illinois delegation.
He said Thursday that’s because he was balancing being a father of four, a
working attorney and a legislative leader who is trying to help win elections in
Illinois. Asked about the Trump campaign’s rhetoric about Vice President Kamala
Harris being a “diversity” hire and that she “became” Black, Curran said
Democrats are name-callers too. “We have a governor that has called myself and
my caucus homophobes, racists, xenophobes, all sorts of names,” he said. “And in
fact, he’s called Republicans broadly in this state, who he represents as their
elected chief executive officer, you know, all these names.” He said he tries to
make sure he and Senate GOP members “rise above it, and we stick to policy.” At
the fairgrounds, he criticized Democrats for policies that he said “prioritize
violent criminals over law abiding citizens,” provide state benefits to
noncitizens, and give tax incentives to a battery manufacturing plant in Manteno
that he said has “ties to the Chinese Communist Party” While Curran was speaking
to reporters outside of the breakfast gathering, James Marter, the Republican
candidate for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District was addressing the crowd
inside. He’s vying to unseat U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood, who is Black. “She’s
called me a white Christian nationalist. I’m not going to deal with the whatever
the race component of that was, but that makes her an anti-Christian globalist,
right?” he said. “So this is what we’re dealing with in the 14th Congressional
District. I’m an election denier. So she’s an election fraud denier, right?”  He
said Democrats “cheated” by drawing legislative maps heavily favoring their own
party’s election odds. Every 10 years, Illinois’ legislature redraws
congressional and state legislative boundaries, and in 2020 Democrats did so in
a way to cement their power. House Republican Leader Tony McCombie, of Savanna,
said Democrat-drawn maps are a contributor to the fact that Democrats hold 78 of
the 118 seats in the House. But she also said the GOP could overcome that
disadvantage “because Republicans are not afraid to work.” While House Speaker
Emanuel “Chris” Welch predicted at Democrat Day on Wednesday that his party
would pick up seats, McCombie said she expects Republicans to “bite into that
apple.” “This is about the Republican turnout, because for us, it’s about the
next governor’s race,” she said. “And if we can show that we have a great
turnout, we are going to get a great Republican candidate. Because you’re right,
that map doesn’t matter. We will turn the state around. I promise you that it
might not happen next this year, but it is going to start happening.” She said
GOP odds are “no different” with Harris atop the ticket than when President Joe
Biden was leading it, echoing Salvi and others who dismissed Harris’ polling
surge as a “honeymoon period.” Salvi said of Biden voluntarily dropping from the
race amid party pressure and endorsing Harris: “in a lot of countries, that
would be called a coup.” As for the issues the GOP will run on, McCombie and
Salvi cited migration at the southern U.S. border, inflation, taxes, crime and a
“culture of corruption” within Illinois government. The party’s two main
responsibilities are “voter integrity” and “get-out-the-vote,” Salvi said. “What
are we doing?” She said. “We’re encouraging everybody to vote in October. We
have a long election period of time, not just day-of voting.” The sentiment was
echoed by Charles “Chuck” Maher, a candidate for Will County executive. “The
month of October is for all of us to get out and vote, that it’s not something
that we’re going to do one day, one time,” he said at the breakfast. “…This is
not early voting. This is a month of election.” While Salvi noted she
experienced a “blue funk” when returning to Illinois after last month’s RNC in
Milwaukee, the guest speaker at the fairgrounds gave words of encouragement.
Matthew Whitaker, a former acting attorney general under Trump, said for periods
of time during former President Barack Obama’s administration, Iowa had a
Democratically controlled House, Senate and governor’s office. Now the state is
solidly red. “So this can be turned around quickly,” he said.)
— Illinois Republicans see Harris’ polling surge as ‘honeymoon period’ that’s
destined to end. – PETER HANCOCK & HANNAH MEISEL
https://capitolnewsillinois.com/news/illinois-republicans-see-harris-polling-surge-as-honeymoon-period-thats-destined-to-end
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans say they are still as united about the
upcoming election as they were at their national convention in Milwaukee last
month, despite surge of enthusiasm for the Democrats’ new presidential
candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris. “Republicans are ready,” state party
chair Kathy Salvi told reporters at the Illinois State Fair Thursday. “People in
general, the regular mom-and-pop independent voters, people are energized, and
they’re coming out in droves, and they’re voting. Either they’re Democrats who
are turning Republican and voting and working with us, or they’re people who
never voted before, and they’re coming out of the woodwork.” Several people
attending the Republican Day festivities at the fair acknowledged the dynamics
of the 2024 race have changed markedly since the GOP convention. At that time,
former President Donald Trump was leading in most national polls and in key
battleground states, and Republicans were euphoric after he survived an
assassination attempt just two days earlier. Meanwhile, many Democrats were
openly questioning whether their presumptive nominee, 81-year-old President Joe
Biden, was capable of serving another term in light of his weak debate
performance against Trump in June. Then, on July 21, Biden bowed to pressure
from within his own party and dropped out of the race, endorsing Harris to take
his place. Almost immediately, she consolidated support and secured enough
delegates to the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago to win the
nomination. Since then, Harris has drawn huge crowds at campaign rallies, and
polls have shown her pulling even, or even slightly ahead of Trump. But
Republicans at the fair insisted Harris’ surge in popularity will be
short-lived. Among them was the keynote speaker at the rally, Matthew Whitaker,
an Iowa native who served briefly as acting attorney general during the first
Trump administration. “We’re in a honeymoon period with Kamala Harris,” Whitaker
said. “The left is so excited that they have a candidate with a pulse. That’s a
fairly low bar. I mean, we have a president in Donald Trump that not only has a
pulse, he has a fire inside of him to save this country.” Earlier in the day, at
a breakfast meeting of the Republican State Central Committee in downtown
Springfield, Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie, of Savanna,
dismissed the idea that the switch from Biden to Harris would help Democrats in
down-ballot races. “I think you’d want to ask Cori Bush how it affected her,”
she said, referring to the Democratic congresswoman from St. Louis who backed
Harris then lost her seat Aug. 6 in Missouri’s Democratic primary. McCombie
predicted that Harris will get another bump in polling numbers after next week’s
convention, but that her popularity would fade in the fall campaign when she
comes under closer scrutiny. “Once you actually get her in front of this (a
gaggle of reporters), actually have her have the courage to do something like
this, she won’t be able to handle it, and everybody will see who she really is,”
McCombie said. Republican Day at the fair is also a traditional time for the
state party to rally support for its candidates in races further down the
ballot. That includes seats in the General Assembly, where Republicans currently
hold only 40 of 118 seats in the House and 19 of 59 seats in the Senate. Senate
Republican Leader John Curran, of Downers Grove, said in an interview he thinks
the GOP can regain seats in suburban areas where it has lost support in recent
elections. But he said candidates must focus on local issues and stay away from
national issues like abortion rights. “I don’t sense suburban voters are
one-issue voters,” he said. “Regardless of where they’re at on the topic of
abortion, they’re also vitally concerned about cost of living, economic factors,
crime and public safety, and corruption in this state. … Ultimately, we
constantly coach and manage our candidates to stick to local issues, and that’s
what we’re doing.” McCombie said it makes “no difference” to GOP chances that
Harris is atop the ticket, and she’s betting on voters wanting a change from
one-party rule in Illinois. “Are we better off under Democrat rule in Illinois?”
McCombie shouted to the crowd gathered at the GOP rally at the state
fairgrounds, who shouted “no!” in response. Though Republicans only had moderate
success in making longtime Democratic Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan
into a punching bag — until a federal criminal investigation into his inner
circle bolstered their yearslong effort in 2020 — McCombie said voters should
remember Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch when they go to vote. “I would argue that
some of the most damaging policies have come to Illinois since January of 2021,”
she said, referring to when Welch took the reins. “We are not dealing with a
Democrat party of 1992. We are dealing with a party who wants to destroy small
business, hurt our most vulnerable and make families feel that they need to be
reliant on government for everything.” During Democratic fair festivities on
Wednesday, Welch said he wanted to increase his Democratic caucus from an
already record-high 78 members. McCombie warned her fellow party faithful to
look at the past to understand how Democrats’ supermajorities got so large. “How
did they do that? We let them. We got lazy,” she said. “We believe the lie that
our voice and our vote does not matter, but it matters.” Though 2024 is a rare
election cycle with no statewide races to buoy down-ballot candidates with a
unified message — or the money and attention that comes with high-profile
contests — McCombie has said she is concentrating on five House seats she’s
hoping to flip in November. That includes races in Chicago’s suburbs, as well as
areas of the Metro East and central Illinois. GOP leaders are hopeful about
their chances in the 91st House District, which encompasses Bloomington-Normal
westward to East Peoria, where Desi Anderson is running against first-term Rep.
Sharon Chung, D-Bloomington. Anderson, who unsuccessfully ran for the state
Senate against a longtime Democratic member in 2022, told Capitol News Illinois
that her experience owning a wedding and conference venue in rural Heyworth not
only activated her as a candidate but also helps her relate to voters. But
beyond issues like high property taxes, Anderson said she’s been surprised at
how much concern she’s heard from voters about illegal immigration when knocking
on doors. “I think a lot of the communities are concerned of, ‘How do we have
safe streets? How do we provide for our own folks here in our own community,
when we (already) have a housing issue?’” she said. Republicans’ hopes of
picking up a seat in Madison County across the river from St. Louis are still up
in the air. The Illinois State Board of Elections will decide next week whether
GOP candidate Jay Keeven can appear on the November ballot against Democratic
state Rep. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville. In June, a Springfield judge blocked
state elections officials from enforcing a law passed by Democrats barring
“slated” candidates from the ballot if they did not run in their party’s
primary. But Keeven was not one of the 14 named plaintiffs on the lawsuit and
may still be excluded from the judge’s ruling. Despite the uncertainty
surrounding his race, Republican operatives say Keeven has been knocking doors
for months since he filed paperwork to run for the House seat in May.)

— Is “Up or Out” Holding Us Back? – J. Connor Stull (COMMENT: Democrats run the
federal government. They use up-or-out to get rid their employees who are
Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they do not promote to GS-13
(currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15
($160,458)  by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40.
Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My
Democrat superiors in the federal government did not promote me to GS-13 until I
was 38. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in
1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female,
and/or veteran. What if Trump, Vance, Harris, and Waltz had been federal
employees like I was for almost 30 years? Would they have made the aforesaid
promotion deadlines? But of the aforesaid, only Trump would have been subjected
to up-or-out because he is not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.army.mil/article/247749/is_up_or_out_holding_us_back
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The up-or-out system, as it is widely known, is a tenure or
partnership system that dictates when a leader must be promoted in a
hierarchical organization. If a leader is not determined to be ready for
promotion, and does not achieve a certain rank within a certain period of time,
they are removed. The Navy was the first military service to experiment with the
up-or-out system. An early version was introduced in the Naval Appropriations
Act of 1916, and was only later adopted by the Army after World War II. For over
a century, discussion of how to implement the up-or-out system has focused on
the promotion of personnel and the management of seniority. Additionally, a key
lesson learned from World War II continues to be a significant factor supporting
the maintenance of a hierarchical grade and force structure. Specifically, that
military leaders need youthful vigor and the creativity that goes with it, in
order to effectively lead. While the Army is responsible for managing the
up-or-out system, much of the system is mandated in Congressional law.
Typically, these laws have only been updated or amended when the performance of
military actions have failed to achieve the expectations of Congress. This
reactive and centrally managed approach limits the flexibility of the services
to continually improve the system and has shifted the burden of organizational
transformation to Congress.)

DAILY HERALD
— State GOP picks new leaders to ‘beat the machine,’ including Palatine’s Del
Mar. – Marni Pyke (COMMENT: Illinois Republicans anxiously await a press release
on this from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). If/when the IRP forms a
committee to reach out to conservatives, that is, to platform Republicans, that
is, to its base, I volunteer to serve on that committee. The overwhelming
majority of the aforesaid want direct election of IRP State Central Committee
members.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240814/illinois-state-politics/state-gop-picks-new-leaders-to-beat-the-machine-including-palatines-del-mar/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A northwest suburbanite is taking a leadership role with the
Illinois GOP as the party works to rebuild and end what its leader calls the
“blue funk.” State Central Committee member Aaron Del Mar of Palatine has been
chosen by Chair Kathy Salvi as an Illinois Republican Party co-chair, along with
state Sen. Jason Plummer of Edwardsville and State Central Committee member Judy
Diekelman of Thornton. Salvi also picked Joan McCarthy Lasonde of Wilmette as
vice chair. “Co-Chairs Aaron Del Mar, Sen. Jason Plummer, and Judy Diekelman as
well as Vice Chair Joan McCarthy Lasonde and all of our leaders across the state
represent the diverse opinions of our party and our state,” Salvi said
Wednesday. “This group will broaden our coalition, expand our footprint, and
will beat the machine that Democrats like (former Speaker) Mike Madigan and
(Gov.) J.B. Pritzker have built.” Salvi took office in July vowing to “make
Illinois red again,” and end the party’s “blue funk.” With a woman at the helm
of the state GOP and his background as a Filipino- American, “this is a very
historic time,” said Del Mar. “This will be the first time the Illinois
Republican Party has had a person of color in leadership. “I’m very excited.
Kathy has a different personality than I do, she brings different strengths so I
think we very much complement each other.” Del Mar, a businessman who ran for
lieutenant governor in 2022, was a Republican National Convention delegate in
July, and has served as Cook County Republican chairman and Palatine village
councilman. The Illinois GOP faces challenges in a heavily Democratic state and
recently lost Chair Don Tracy, who blamed party infighting for his resignation.
One key to success is to make sure “grass-roots organizations and grass-roots
members of the Republican Party have a voice,” Del Mar said. “They’re the people
who show up at the monthly meetings, the people that put lawn signs into the
ground, that march in the parades. I think for far too long, they’ve been
ignored and they’ve been taken for granted.” Del Mar, who campaigned statewide
in 2022, hopes to bridge divisions between rural conservative and urban moderate
Republicans. “If we can create a relationship where there’s a conversation and
people have a better understanding — that adds a lot of value,” Del Mar said,
adding he’s visiting downstate Illinois soon. “If you want buy-in from those
(rural) counties you have to show up.” Del Mar’s father, a mechanical engineer,
immigrated from the Philippines. His mother is a retired nurse of German/Swedish
descent who grew up on Chicago’s South Side. “When they start talking about
issues like immigration, those things hit home and I can give a personal story,”
Del Mar said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— ’Idiocracy’ is upon us. – J.A. Frascino
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/08/idiocracy_is_upon_us.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades America functioned as a meritocracy, the land of
opportunity with freedom of speech and limited government.  With the recent
ascent of the radical left as a political force, these values have undergone
erosion by DEI, identity politics, cancel culture, “newspeak”, and government
bureaucratic intrusion.  The radical left challenges patriotism, religion,
traditional family structure as our raison d’être, our identity.  The resulting
divisiveness drives us into ideologic rabbit holes.  Tribalism pervades the
culture.  We identify now as liberal or conservative with ideologic chips on our
shoulders.  We have evolved into a partisan ideocracy. And now, with the
presumptive Democrat ticket in the offing, we are on the brink of evolving into
an idiocracy.)

they worked in brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854, homesteaded a farm in
southeast Crete Township 1854-1964, raised and sold horses in Crete 1864-1874,

(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Social media influencers got the royal treatment at the
White House on Wednesday as President Joe Biden gave a nod to their ability to
hold sway with millions of loyal followers. The White House played host to a
group of more than 100 influencers, also known as content creators, across a
range of media platforms — from chefs and makeup artists to fitness gurus and
medical students — to talk about issues including mental health, pay equity and
the abuse of artificial intelligence. Biden stopped by to tell the influencers
gathered in the Indian Treaty Room in the White House complex: “The fact is, you
are the future.” “You’re the source of the news,” he said. “You are the new
possibilities. You are the new breakthrough in how we communicate.” Biden added,
to laughter: “And that’s why I invited you to the White House, because I’m
looking for a job.”)

DAILY HERALD
— On eve of DNC, Republicans are gathering in Woodstock for Pro-Trump rally
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240813/news/pro-trump-rally-in-woodstock-sunday-on-eve-of-dnc-caravans-of-gop-supporters-from-across-region-exp/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans from across the Chicago region and beyond are
expected to converge on the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock Sunday for a
show of support for former President Donald Trump just before the Democratic
National Conventions gets underway in Chicago. The Trump Now-Save the American
Dream Rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at the fairgrounds,
11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Tickets range from $30 for general admission
to $300 for a VIP seat, according to the Parading for Trump website. Those
supporting the former president in his reelection bid plan to caravan to the
event. Caravans of his supporters are set to arrive from Stratford Square Mall
in Bloomingdale, Petersen Park in McHenry, the Campton Township Highway
Department parking lot in Lily Lake in Kane County, Antioch’s Metra station, the
Tinley Park Convention Center, the shopping center at 2341 Sycamore Road in
DeKalb and from Halsted and Division streets in Chicago. Paraders are asked to
decorate their vehicles in pro-Trump gear. The speakers list includes
conservative commentator and Chicago-area native Charlie Kirk, GOP strategist
Roger Stone, Mike Lindell of MyPillow and retired Army lieutenant general and
former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. Entertainment for the day
will be from musicians Thompson Square, Nate Venturelli, Diva Montell and
Anthony “Frank” Cassano. There’s no indication that Trump or his running mate,
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, will appear. Gary Rabine, a Bull Valley businessman and
former candidate for Illinois governor, is hosting the rally. According to the
event website, the event is paid for by The American Dream PAC, with profits
from the event “dispersed … to organizations focused on Get out the Vote in our
communities and swing states, conservative candidates and organizations focused
on helping Trump become our 47th President.”)

NORTHWEST HERALD
— McHenry asks county GOP to find a new gathering place for Trump caravan as
park booked for festival. – Janelle Walker
https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2024/08/14/mchenry-asks-county-gop-to-find-a-new-gathering-place-for-trump-caravan-as-park-booked-for-festival/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: McHenry city officials were surprised when they read news
reports Tuesday that Petersen Park was set as a meetup point Sunday to caravan
to the Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally in Woodstock. Petersen Park is
playing host to the annual Bands, Brews & BBQ event this weekend, with its
largest day expected on Sunday, McHenry Deputy Chief Tom Walsh said. It could
see even larger crowds later in the day, as McHenry’s community fireworks show
is due to take place at the park after being was postponed because of poor
weather during Fiesta Days in July. In social media posts and emails, organizers
of the rally – in support of former President Donald Trump and other Republican
candidates on the ballot in November, and held on the eve of the Democratic
National Convention in Chicago – encouraged GOP faithful to meet up beginning at
10:30 a.m. Sunday at McHenry’s Petersen Park and convoy at 11:30 a.m. to the
McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. Caravans of supporters are also
expected to descend on Woodstock from various meetup spots across the Chicago
region and in DeKalb. The gates for Bands, Brews and BBQ are set to open at 1:30
p.m. Sunday, McHenry Area Rotary President Diana Mark said. Vendors, the band
and others will be setting up before then will be in and out of the parking area
earlier, Mark said. Following inquiries from the Northwest Herald, organizers of
the pro-Trump rally distributed a new flier saying the McHenry meetup would
instead be at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Althoff Park. The event’s
website, paradingfortrump.com , still listed Petersen Park as of Tuesday
evening, however. Prior to the location change, Walsh had said: “I am concerned
about space. I don’t know details about where they are meeting up” or whether
cars will be left at the Petersen lot during the day. “We can’t have this
conflict in the parking lot,” he said. McHenry Chief of Police John Birk asked
Walsh to reach out to the Trump event organizers. The rally is set for 12:30 to
6 p.m. Sunday at the Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Organizers
did not need a temporary use permit for the rally, as the fairground is exempt
from the permit process, Alicia Schueller, director of public affairs for
McHenry County. Food and liquor licenses have been secured for the event. The
McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has asked Woodstock Police for additional
support during the rally, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Tuesday. That’s not
unusual for large events, Stelford said, adding that two Woodstock police
officers are helping at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week.
Those same two officers also aided with the Republican National Convention in
Milwaukee, Stelford said.)

currently $97,079–$110,020/year. I had almost completed the requirements for a
master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had passed the CPA examination on
my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat
GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used my having to take
that pay cut against me viciously. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning
that master’s degree from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal
Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA
in 1981. They succeeded in a) delaying my promotions back to GS-12 until 1982,
b) assigning me to audits IRS until 1986 and then after 1988, c) delaying my
promotion to GS-13 until 1986, and d) never promoting me to GS-14.)

lot of courage” for many Republicans to publicly break with their party, but
argued it’s necessary. “You have to publicly out yourself: ‘I’m a Republican;
I’m a conservative, and I’m supporting Kamala Harris,’” Walsh said. “It takes
courage, but remember – Donald Trump is unfit to be President.” Organizers said
more than 70,000 people joined the call live, where speakers urged Republican
participants to get behind Harris through volunteering and publicly supporting
her campaign.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— The crisis at Western Illinois University and beyond. – Editorial (COMMENT: I
graduated from NIU in 1970. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives,
and their dupes, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/13/editorial-western-illinois-university-layoffs-state-equitable-funding/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Between 2010 and 2014, the number of students at the school
hovered around 12,000. But then it took a dive over several years. In fall 2023,
the university enrolled 7,023 students. Interim President Kristi Mindrup has
said she expects enrollment this fall to be between 5,500 and 6,000 students.
That might yet change, but it’s still a big drop in one year and not something
so easily blamed on demographics. We’d also wager most Illinoisans didn’t know
that some of their state universities are currently operating at 50% of previous
capacity.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has caused you the most harm? For
me, it is the Affirmative Action(AA)/DEI plank, that is, the race and gender
based preference giving plank, that is, the patronage, political affiliation
discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious
discrimination, and national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat GAO, IRS,
and Post Office superiors used that plank, up-or-out, and budget cuts to waste
my career and to get rid of me. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were
Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran and/or had
less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no
professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional
license like the one I had.  If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or
veteran, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior
Executive Service long before I was 40. They ignored/dismissed/belittled that
fact that I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT
and became a Forensic Accountant in 1997. I became a Certified Financial
Services Auditor in 1996. I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in
1994. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I passed the Certified
Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in
1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the
CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned an MBA from Loyola in
1976. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and passed the Federal
Service Entrance Examination in 1970. My critics/opponents in the Milton
Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee,
and Illinois Republican Party reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender
based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they
promote AA/DEI. – Dave Diersen

For me, it seeing how fast Democrats and RINOs invaded, infiltrated, and took

WASHINGTON RXAMINER
— Kamala has a record on immigration – Editorial
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3118647/kamala-record-immigration/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Pinning down Vice President Kamala Harris on any
substantive policy matters has been impossible since she helped shove President
Joe Biden out of the presidential race. She refuses to answer questions, and her
staff is, at best, cryptic in what little information it releases. For example,
when asked if Harris still supports her 2019 position that illegally crossing
the border be decriminalized, an unidentified campaign official told Axios,
“Unauthorized border crossings are illegal.” But this is just a statement of
current law. It doesn’t tell us what Harris believes, if anything, about whether
unauthorized border crossings should continue to be illegal or if she will
prosecute migrants who break the law. We still don’t know where Harris stands on
decriminalizing illegal immigration. As much as Democrats may wish otherwise,
Harris did not fall out of a coconut tree without a record. There are 20 years
of factual evidence about how she deals with illegal immigrants, and voters
should look at them. It will give an accurate and disturbing picture of Harris’s
ideas on immigration.)

needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just
stay more woke than less woke.” – Charles Gasparino

I am a Republican and I have always been one. I should write a book about my
Democrat and RINO superiors. I would show how my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post
Office superiors and my RINO Milton Township Republican Organization superiors
have made me pay reparations big time. In my defense, my ancestors have always
lived in northeast Illinois, they never were in a position to discriminate
against anyone, and they never did discriminate against anyone.)

education, professional certifications, and/or profession licenses. My Democrat
GAO superiors rendered worthless what I had learned a) working for GAO for
almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels,

— I protested Vietnam War at DNC 1968. – Terry Ratner (COMMENT:
Anticipate/expect that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will
ever-increasingly stress that Trump avoided the Vietnam War draft. Duckworth
will take the lead. Did the Vietnam War draft impact you? It impacted me big
time. Both those who supported the war and those who opposed the war used it
against me. I did not enlist. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a
financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. Those who supported the war
stressed that I was 1-A, that I did not enlist, and that I got draft deferments.
Those who opposed the war stressed that I was a Republican. They stressed that
while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint
in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968,
a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, a new townhome in 1972, and condos in downtown
Chicago in 1974 and 1976. They stressed that while my peers were dying in
Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and an MBA in 1976. In my defense,
I earned the money for the aforesaid by washing dishes 1964-1966, cleaning golf
shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966, delivering mail 1966-1969,
working on an automobile assembly line in 1970, selling tires, automotive
services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumping gasoline 1971-1972, and
collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980. Further, they stressed that while my
peers were dying in Vietnam, I took big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973,
1974, 1975. and 1976. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I
would not have been able to do the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam
War draft. Further, they have always stressed that because of my health
problems, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. My Democrat Post
Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam
War draft against me the most. I should write a book about that.)

— Did you get any scholarships? I did not. I only just barely made it into the
upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. My
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that
against me. Further, they have always used against me my not getting any
financial hardship scholarships to hint/imply/argue/shout that my parents were
filthy rich. They ignore the fact that to pay for my undergraduate college
expenses and for cars to get to/from classes, I did yard work 1962-1964,
delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes,
chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, and worked
on an automobile assembly line in 1970. All the time I spent doing the aforesaid

— Sonya Massey tragedy shows it’s better for municipalities to be minus police
officers than to hire the wrong ones. – Editorial (COMMENT: Why were you offered
jobs? 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, minority,
female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled that I
would become a Democrat, but they lost their gamble. Consequently, they did
everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. It is called
political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age
discrimination.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/09/editorial-sonya-massey-sean-grayson-jack-campbell-jb-pritzker/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The Sangamon County sheriff’s office is far from the only
department struggling to recruit officers and thus prone to making poor hires.
With policing under more public pressure and scrutiny than any time we can
remember, particularly in diverse, Democratic Party-controlled states like ours,
the profession clearly isn’t nearly as enticing as it used to be, even with
early retirement, good salaries and generous pensions on offer. The Chicago
Police Department, for one, is short about 2,000 officers. The temptation for
these departments, then, is to skimp on the background checks and vetting that
are necessary to weed out the unsuitable but can hamper recruiting. There were
plenty of red flags available on Grayson, including a 2015 citation for driving
under the influence and a record of working for five different police forces in
the three years before Sangamon hired him in May 2023. At a bare minimum, an
applicant bouncing around that many departments in such a short period of time
ought to compel a police chief interested in hiring him to call the chiefs of
those other departments for an honest assessment rather than relying on
applicant-provided references. The public has an interest in fully staffed
police departments. But there’s an even greater public interest in taking every
step possible to ensure those on the force are truly qualified and well trained.
Better to be undermanned than to run the risk of employing officers prone to
losing their cool in tense moments, flaws that carry with them potentially fatal
consequences. Sonya Massey’s tragic death is a cautionary tale for police chiefs
everywhere. That brings us to the matter of the police chief in this case,
Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell. Campbell has defended the process he
undertook when hiring Grayson, saying he followed normal procedures, but has
allowed there are changes he’ll make going forward. “My standard is now that ‘I
want you to figure out a way not to hire this person,’” Campbell told Illinois
Public Media News. By that, we took him to mean that every applicant will be
scrutinized as thoroughly as possible. If that’s what he meant, we agree. .
.It’s relatively easy, of course, for the Democratic governor to castigate a
Republican sheriff in a case that has garnered national headlines and reflects
poorly on the state. It wasn’t hard to detect the whiff of politics in the harsh
criticism of a GOP officeholder by a governor with national aspirations (and
demonstrated prospects) who needs to appear as tough as possible responding to a
horrific police shooting within the state’s capital city. We’d be a bit less
cynical had Pritzker, for example, been as critical when his appointees to the
Illinois Prisoner Review Board failed so starkly earlier this year to keep
convicted domestic abuser Crosetti Brand behind bars, freeing him (despite
numerous red flags) to allegedly kill the 11-year-old son of an ex-girlfriend as
she was attacked as well and badly injured. Pritzker asked two of those
appointees, including the board chair, to resign. But when it came to his own
appointees, who failed every bit as badly as Campbell did with similarly fatal
consequences, the governor publicly expressed nothing like the outrage he
leveled at the sheriff. Sangamon County is dominated by Republicans at the local
level. To date, as far as we’ve seen, no local GOPers have called on Campbell to
leave. If Campbell resigned over this tragic lapse, that would be an appropriate
acceptance of responsibility. But he’s an elected official answerable to the
voters of the county, not Gov. Pritzker. If he chooses to stick to the path of
attempting to improve the office’s personnel management and regaining the public
trust as he runs again, the voters of that county will be able to decide two
years from now on his ongoing suitability.)

for having been a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and
1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted
that because I was a union member, I was grossly overpaid and that my benefits
were far too generous. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $18.99/hour
in 1966 to $110,020/year in 1980. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in
management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the
CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in
accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

who have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. I was born
in 1948. Even though I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high
school class, my ACT score was only 24, and I had to work my way through
college, that is, I did not get any scholarships, I was nevertheless able to a)
earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27,
31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47,
and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32.  But I would not be
able to do the aforesaid today because of my bad demographics, that is, because
Affirmative Action and DEI requires educators, employers, and everyone else to
give ever-increasing preference to those who do not share my demographics.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Sheriff Jack Campbell has been forced to retire. I should write a book about
the stigma of being forced to retire. Being forced to retire makes it impossible
to get a job appropriate for your work experience, education, professional
certifications, and/or profession licenses. But far worse than that, especially
if you are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American,
and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, your
critics/opponents use your having been forced to retire to
hint/imply/argue/shout that real reason was that you are a very bad person if
not a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and
even worse things. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who have
used my having been forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 against me the most.
I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican
Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois
Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c)
Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and
activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and
their lawyers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an especially bad
person and even worse things because I had earned a) job-related master’s
degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in
1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job related professional
license in 1981. Needless to say, my Democrat GAO superiors having forced me to
retire was one of the biggest negatives in my life. I will never recover from
it. They forced me to retire to punish me because I had been an active member in
a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination,
age discrimination, and retaliation. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in
the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, b) delayed my
promotions and never promoted me beyond me GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS
for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to
take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO
in 1980. – Dave Diersen

HERALD REVIEW
— The Republican Party has become a bunch of RINOs. – Randall Limbach, Sierra
Vista
https://www.myheraldreview.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/letter-the-republican-party-has-become-a-bunch-of-rinos/article_533bdea8-5661-11ef-b3c0-27fec32bdc59.html
(FROM THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Republican party has morphed into a party of
Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs). The RINO concept has shifted over the decades,
sometimes used disparagingly and other times approvingly. Traditionally, RINO
describes a Republican deviating from conservative values. In my observation,
today’s RINO is any Republican: Who’s actions are contrary to his conservative
platform; Who not only doesn’t enforce the United States Constitution but
promotes its decay (state sovereignty; representation; personal welfare; and
state, individual, land, and water rights); Allows and even promotes tyranny
(Covid mandates); Surrenders to Democrats on common-sense conservative
principles (voter integrity, term limits, individual/land/water rights,
taxation, border control, and federal overreach). The cowardly RINO tackles
tough issues only after the door of opportunity has closed with a Republican
administrative majority, after which he feigns a sense of urgent engagement on
those same issues. Like conventional Democrats, establishment Uni-party RINOs
possess globalist, centrist, and intellectually dishonest views, shunning those
constituents who dare demand the restoration of our Constitution. The RINO
enjoys the benefits of Uni-party ‘membership’ via support from the
Grand-Old-Party and Democrat institutions, mainstream media, military industrial
complex, giant conglomerations, and Big Tech and entertainment industries. RINOs
demand “unity” throughout the party yet refuse to reverse course following
generations of continued deceit and anti-America legislation. Today’s RINO would
have supported the King of England in his efforts to defeat the original
American revolutionaries. Ultimately, as what occurred in 1776, God will shield
and promote today’s American revolutionary, regardless of political persuasion,
and will rightfully hold these counterfeit Americans accountable.)

POST GAZETTE
— Vance and Walz in a race to define themselves as champions of working-class
voters. – Steve Bohnel and Mike Wereschagin  (COMMENT: What do your
critics/opponents want to define you as being? Most of mine want to define me as
being “too conservative.” They stress that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois
Editor since 2000, that I have been a Wheaton resident since 1978, and that I
attended the Illinois Republican Party State Convention as delegate, reporter,
and vendor this year while DuPage County and Milton Township RINO leaders
boycotted it. They stress that I am White, male, older (born in 1948), baptized,
raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American.
They stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I was a
Crete resident 1948-1972. They stress that I was the fundraiser for Wheaton
Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of
Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering
Committee member 2003-2007.)

— Top companies for high school graduates to begin and advance their career. –
Matthew Euzarraga  (COMMENT: In 1966, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the
top 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class, I was a full-time UIC student, and
I lived with my parents in Crete. The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post
Office hired me in 1966 as a part-time employee because they could not find a
Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They disapproved
of, if not despised, a) the fact that I was avoiding the Vietnam War draft with
student deferments, b) the fact that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant,
German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and a Crete
resident since 1948, and c) that I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my
defense, I stressed to them that I had bought that Pontiac with money that I
earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in
Chicago Heights 1964-1966. They certainly did not want me to become a full-time
employee. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968
and1969 even though I had taken far fewer sick days than any of my coworkers.
They succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969 by falsely saying that I was not
available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays,
Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in
session.)

Harris has served in the U.S. military. Trump received a series of deferments
during Vietnam, including one attained with a physician’s letter stating that he
suffered from bone spurs in his feet. The Harris campaign statement said Walz
“would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country” and
“thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the
American way.”)

— Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly use DEI to get rid of Republicans. I
should write about RINOs who have used DEI the most to get rid of Republicans. I
would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican
Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois
Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c)
Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and
activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and
their lawyers. Of course, the aforesaid stress and paint negatively that I am
conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), non-veteran,
Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844,
I have lived in DuPage County only since 1978, etc. What RINOs do is political
affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination,
religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

MEDIUM
— Democrats and RINOs ask “Is the Idea of Meritocracy Misleading Us About

critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting
tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics,
that is, from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat,
Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran,
LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not
been in America for a long time.  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, and neither me, nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a
position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against
anyone.)https://medium.com/a-little-stoic-wisdom/is-the-idea-of-meritocracy-misleading-us-about-success-2c1bf5b6e255

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Action Items For The IL GOP – David E. Smith (COMMENT: Bailey calls for the
Illinois Republican Party to censure Edgar, Kinzinger, Ray LaHood, and Walsh for
promoting Harris. Have your critics/opponents tried to censure you? My
critics/opponents tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition
(ICRC) to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They succeed in
throwing off the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. I should write about that. I
would focus on those who are still active today and who could have and should
have come to my defense but did not. In 2006 and 2007, I was a) the chairman of
TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, b) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton
Independence Day parades and fireworks, c) a member of the Milton Township
Republican Organization, and d) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce
Government Affairs Committee. I had spent lots of my time and my money helping
elect in general elections those Republican candidates who had won primary
elections.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/07-bailey-action-items-for-the-il-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former State Senator Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) has been
posting personal video content on his Bailey for Illinois Facebook page for
years now. These updates include political commentary, campaign updates, a
Christian devotional readings and prayer. Since these video commentaries are
very informative and encouraging, I often share these postings on my own
personal social media platforms. One such recent video post deserves much
greater attention by a much greater audience. In his video post on Tuesday,
August 6th, Darren highlighted some issues that have been on the minds of
grass-root conservatives for some time regarding the Illinois Republican Party.
He highlights four points that we list below along with the transcript of his
commentary. However, the most important call-to-action item – one that will
resonate with conservative voters across the state – is the emergence of
so-called “Republicans for Harris,” – yes, extreme left-wing Kamala Harris. This
group of unprincipled politicians aim to peel away votes from Donald Trump.
Illinois mugwumps Adam Kinzinger, Jim Edgar, Ray LaHood and Joe Walsh are among
the high-profile snollygosters publicly endorsing Harris and encouraging others
to vote for her. (Read more HERE.) Their duplicity is astonishing. Darren also
brings to our attention something called “The Edgar Fellows Program” – an
initiative launched by former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar (RINO) to develop
“leadership and governing capacity in Illinois.” The program focuses on
fostering respectful and collaborative leadership to address major policy
issues, emphasizing the importance of statesmanship over partisan, ethnic, and
regional rivalries. This program is run through the Institute of Government and
Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. Darren’s is absolutely correct to
call for a censure of these traitors. Not only should township and county
Republican organizations issue resolutions to censure these individuals, so
should the Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC). Therefore, we
encourage you to take action and speak out. The corporate media is celebrating
these turncoats and giving them a platform to denigrate the Republican nominee.
We must make it clear that they DO NOT speak for us. Take ACTION: Click HERE to
send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to
censor Kinzinger, Edgar, LaHood and Walsh. Republican officials should not
ignore those who claim the “Republican” mantel but then openly disparage policy
planks, principles and publicly work against the GOP nominee for POTUS. To be
clear, we are very grateful that these things are being discussed, and for our
part, we hope you will consider these important points of reformation and speak
out to the Republican State Central Committee to encourage them to heed these
changes. The following four points, attributed to Tom DeVore, former GOP
candidate for Illinois Attorney General, are summarized here: 1.) The Illinois
GOP should stay out of primary races. 2.) The Illinois GOP should stay out of
the campaign efforts of Springfield’s House Republican Organization (HRO) and
Senate Republican Organization (SRO). 3.) The Illinois GOP should fully support
Republican nominees over Democrat nominees – especially in state-wide races. 4.)
The Illinois GOP should reject donations from groups who engage in activities
that are contrary to the Republican Party, i.e. Illinois Teachers Unions. Watch
Darren’s video commentary here or read the transcript below for more important
information.)

ROCK ISLAND COUNTY REPUBLICANS

Parchert, Chairman (COMMENT: I should write about the following who have worked

Committeeman: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican
Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois
Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c)
Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and
activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and
their lawyers. I would focus on the aforesaid who continue to take the
most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who

FED WEEK
— Auditors Made Calls to 76 IRS Taxpayer Assistance Service Lines; 2 Were
Answered (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did
during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one
of my subordinates. Back then, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year)
IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a
rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown
Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone
system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that
developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me
to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year) in 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors soon
got rid of him because they were furious that he given me that developmental
opportunity and promoted me instead of my Democrat coworkers who were minority,
female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to
get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the Vietnam War
draft.)
https://www.fedweek.com/federal-managers-daily-report/auditors-made-calls-to-76-irs-taxpayer-assistance-service-lines-2-were-answered/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The IRS inspector general’s office called all 76 local
taxpayer assistance center lines—offices whose mission is to help taxpayers
resolve problems—but just two of the calls were answered by a live person, the
IG has said. Two of the lines were not in service, while the other calls were
sent to voice mail boxes — 16 of which were full and could not accept a message.
Other issues included inconsistent recorded scripted messaging and callback time
frames, discrepancies in contact information and discrepancies in information on
recorded messages. The report said that “may discourage taxpayers from seeking
help with their tax issues, being compliant with the tax system, and not
receiving the assistance they deserve in resolving their tax issues.” The IG
said the experience — conducted in response to a hotline complaint from a tax
professional seeking help for a client due a refund who was experiencing a
financial hardship — paralleled one from last year when it called 102 IRS
customer service numbers and 21 of them placed the calls on hold for more than
30 minutes. It said that in response to an alert it issued, agency management
took steps including assuring that websites have up-to-date information posted
and that voicemail boxes are monitored prevent them from filling up. The IRS
also is “exploring technology to transcribe voicemails so employees in other
areas can help return calls and to expand the size of voicemail boxes to prevent
them from becoming full.”)

I was 25 in 1974, but I did not make GS-13 (currently $115,439) until I was 38

examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this
morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as
her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick
reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist
from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies
crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy
knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB
Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With
leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of
secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

that is $84,910 less than what my salary was ($150,975) when I was 49 years old
in 1997. That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted
my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted
what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related
master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a
job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS
for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

— JD Vance’s story an example of meritocracy. – Mike Huckabee (COMMENT:
According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my
benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my
demographics, that is, from discrimination against those who are
liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority,
female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or
have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.  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, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my
ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never
did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back
on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military
and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum
laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend
that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.”
Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in
his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot
of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and
made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)

American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, childless, non-veteran,
Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for
a long time.

Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid
of their Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older,
non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in
America for a long time.)

POLITICO
— To promote DEI is to promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination,
reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national
origin discrimination, and even worse things.

POLITICO 7 & HR DRIVE
— Democrat and RINO employers and ever-increasingly use DEI to not hire
Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees. RINO organizations
ever-increasingly use DEI to get rid of their Republican leaders and members.
Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, RINO organizations in Illinois a)
will officially require their leaders to be moderate/liberal, minority, female,
younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have
ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and b) will officially
get rid of their members like me who are conservative, White, male, older,
heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors
who have been in America for a long time.

ILLINOIS CPA SOCIETY
— CPA Pipeline Report (COMMENT: Who do you know who has passed the CPA
examination? I passed it on my first attempt when I was 30 in 1979. Only about
20% of those who take that examination pass it on their first attempt. Who do
you know who has become a licensed CPA? I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Who do
you know that passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination? I passed it on
my first attempt in 1981. Only about 20% of those who take that examination pass
it on their first attempt.)
