This is the state of the Republican Party leadership in Illinois, and it goes like this. There is 20 feet of piled dirt. Then there is 30 feet of shit piled under that dirt and then buried under it all that is an inch. That inch is the Republican Party. If the Illinois GOP was a corporation, it would have folded like a cheap chair and went out of business, filing bankruptcy on the way out. A complete failure. 

Allow me to explain to you that the Illinois GOP leadership is about power. They want complete control. They want to make decisions on who runs for office. Are you a Democrat lawyer that they can run for Representative or Senate as a Republican, sure! If you are a Conservative Trump supporter who by chance, is a plumber or a landscaper, get ready to be turned away. You see, you don't fit their profile. They created a new vision for the party, and you don't belong to it if you don't embrace Democratic ideologies or just a regular guy or gal. They want you to also look the part. 

Since the start of this publication, I have provided proof to you, in the hundreds of articles I have written, documents that the Illinois Republican Party leadership from all levels are working with Democrats to hold on to power. That is how selfish they are. Crooked. 

Remember the days of King Herod in the Bible during the life of Jesus? Israel at the time was ruled by Rome and Caesar. Jerusalem and Israel were a puppet government under the Romans. The Jewish King and the high priests were the leadership, but they were placed there by the Romans. To hold on to your power in Israel, you had to submit yourself to Rome. That's exactly what's going on with GOP elected officials and leaders in Illinois with the Democrats in control. They submitted themselves to the liberal Democrats. 

The Democrats could easily take Republicans out, but instead they leave them be to control them with some token seats. Then the backroom deals come in. I've seen this personally at the Lincoln hotel in Springfield, with Democrats and Republicans partying with each other at the Globe bar. Like they were best friends. Just last year, I crashed a get-together of these losers at a Springfield bar, and I called them out. Mind you, these Republicans are supposedly “fighting” against the Democrats, but instead they are kissing their ass buying their drinks. I called them out as treasonous traitors and told them they should be ashamed of themselves. I then told them I was going to blast what I just witnessed to other conservatives. Many left in embarrassment.

This reminded me of the scene of Jesus chasing out the money changers from the Jewish temple. Jesus was in disgust that God's sacred ground was being used as a cesspool to make money. That is what the Illinois General Assembly has become for Republicans. A house not of the people, but a place to line your pockets full of lobbyists' cash. I dare you to find a lobbyist that only deals with conservative lawmakers. Nope, they sold themselves out. Just like the Chicago Police Union Lodge 7. 

Illinois Conservatism is dead, yet the liberal ideology of the Democrats stands strong in the Land of Lincoln. The Illinois Democratic Party in the midterm elections last year won every constitutional seat in state government, including the re-election of the Governor, J.B. Pritzker.

They control 14 of 17 Congressional seats. They also control, by supermajority, both the Illinois House and Senate seats in the general Assembly. Furthermore, they actually gained more seats this election by winning, while Republicans resigned their seats in droves during and after the election. Both GOP minority leaders of the House and Senate resigned in disgrace after their humiliating losses. First, it was Jim Durkin in the House leading HRM Victory fund resigning his leadership post then later his district seat. Next was Dan McConchie, the minority leader in the Senate, heading the SRO victory fund. He, too, resigned his leadership post but in a grasp for continued power, he has refused to resign his Senate seat.

Remember, it was because of both of these fools we were left with Richard Irvin. They also supported their personal slates of anti-Trump “Republican” candidates that were really Democrats, like Patrick Sheehan in Will County that ran for Illinois Senate. Sheehan sold himself out quickly for that Democrat Irvin money. Remember he stated, "I'm the only one with balls as a Cop to support Richard Irvin for Governor '' Well, that worked out for him with him losing his race pathetically. Now his rabbi McConchie is gone from leadership, and his little lapdog Nick McNeely the SRO political Director is gone too. Nobody will back the RINO Democrat in disguise like Pat Sheehan, ever again. I'll make that promise personally. 

The Illinois Republicans lost control of the state in almost every seat challenged by a Republican.

Illinois has 59 seats in the Senate. The Democrats now have control of 40 of them. The Illinois House has118 seats. The Democrats now control 78 and the Republicans control only 39. The Democrats gained so many seats in the midterms that Democrats are being seated on the Republican side of the house because they ran out of desks on the Democrat side. Unheard of and embarrassing! 

If you are a Republican lawmaker in the Illinois House and Senate, it is nearly impossible to pass new legislation because it will never make it out of Committee or ever see the floor for a vote. The lobbyists and unions own the Democrats. Good luck getting a capital project in your town or funding for schools or the Police. Just last week the Dems passed 155 Bills signed by the Governor. Of those bills only 4 were Republican sponsored bills. 

The 2022 midterms was the most devastating loss to Republicans in Illinois history. It was a massacre. The Democrats rejoiced.

Not only did the Democrats overtake the State House, but they wiped out every Republican leadership post, including their deputies. This was thanks to 100 million dollars provided to them by J.B. Pritzker. Meanwhile, both GOP caucuses only raised a few hundred thousand dollars. Their biggest donor, Ken Griffin, abandoned them to move to Florida, and billionaire Dick Uhleine is now on the edge about reinvesting in Republican races. 

Many candidates that ran for Illinois House and Senate seats received zero help from the House Republican Majority victory fund, or its equal in the Senate Republican Organization Victory Fund. Many were recruited and baited to run with promises of financing up to a hundreds of thousands of dollars later to just be given in kind photos worth $5,000.00 that you could have taken off your Apple iPhone. Others were given just 1,000 walk cards. They were set up to secure Democratic wins. Do you think I'm lying? I have the proof! Now they want to do it again. 

This year in the School board races, not one Republican leader offered any assistance to local School board or consolidated races run by Republicans. If some did, it was nothing but a facade. What was their reason for not helping? Because these were “non-partisan” races. The Democrats never saw the races this way. It was Democrat versus GOP. The outcome of these races was horrifying. It was a sweep. The Democrats won 74% of all the School boards. Another direct loss handed to the Republicans courtesy of the Illinois GOP leadership sellouts. The corrupt money merchants that you voted into office and leadership. 

Let us look at Lake County. Right now, there is a power shift pushing liberal candidates to run as Republicans. Why is that? Well, you see, it's because they feel it's best to run as a Democrat to gain independent and Democratic votes. I swear to God, I'm not making this up. Who comes up with this bullshit? This is the so-called “New GOP Strategy” that RINO Greg Hart used to solicit votes coming out as independent and PRO-ABORTION after winning the 2022 GOP primary. He later lost his ass and was forever shunned by Republicans everywhere, marked as a traitor.

Now, Lake County is a smaller version of Cook County. The Republican Chairman there now, Keith Brin might as well be a Democrat himself like his pal Sean Morrison from Cook County. These losers are elitists. Both forever supporters of the midget RINO Richard Irvin. Just recently, Tom Devore blasted the Lake County GOP, and its former Chairman Mark Shaw for staging that sham straw poll. They actually bought voters after buying them lunch to vote in this Lake County straw poll. Now the organizer of this fiasco, Mark Shaw as Devore explains it is touring Illinois "training" GOP organizations and candidates? 

Now I just got word that this same defunct liberal Lake Country GOP organization that gave us the DEMOCRAT Mark Curran that ran for U. S. Senator and Illinois Supreme Court Justice and lost both seats, is running another DEMOCRAT for Congress in the 10th District. This is an organized effort made by the establishment, Keith Brin the Lake County GOP Chairman and a third rate consulting company to primary a Trump supporting Grassroots candidate, Joe Severino in 2024. 

Joe, if you recall, was targeted before when he ran for this seat by the Chief RINO Richard Porter, who is actively supporting and fundraising for the midget Ron Decantis. So, now they want to primary a well-loved and respected candidate for Congress, Severino? I don't think so. Good luck with that. 

So, the Illinois GOP, and its Chairman Don Tracy came out in public about the party stepping aside from endorsing and supporting GOP primary candidates and here we are again just like in 2022. They are doing it again!

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Therefore, if the Lake County GOP and other Republican leadership organizations want to play games, let's play games. Once again, these Country Club Republicans are acting like the elitists from the movie the “Hunger Games” selecting who will play the game. 

Not this time!

You see, since they pulled this crap last year and the grassroots Republicans have revolted, and they are out for blood. They were let down time and time again, and they are sick and tired of weak, ineffective leadership. The trust has been broken, and I don't believe it can ever be regained. Especially now that they are pulling this bullshit again, primarying grassroots candidates. 

So allow me to share with you a plan I have been developing to help rebuild the party without these RINO losers and get grassroots Republicans elected. 

First, DO NOT TRUST ANYONE IN ILLINOIS GOP LEADERSHIP!

They are liars. The lot of them. They wouldn't know how to win elections if they tried. If they owned a funeral home, no one would freaking die!

They have no fight in them. They have no plans in operation to win any elections with the exception of a targeted few, and they are working with Democrats on those seats. 

So, what can be done?

It's time to organize among ourselves, outside the party. We don't need their permission to do that. I'm doing it right now myself and getting out the word. Not only am I the Editor-in-chief of The Illinois Republican, I'm organizing Grassroots and offering assistance to GOP Organizations for whatever help or training they may need. I'm also running, as a consultant/ strategist, 27 Illinois political campaigns I'm managing. Most are for Congress and Illinois House and Senate seats. These candidates came to me to manage them. Nowhere in the rule book says I had to check in with the Illinois GOP for approval. Screw the GOP.

My loyalties lie with my client candidates. Like a lawyer, I'm bound to them and not the party leadership. If any GOP Chairman directed me to convince a candidate to drop out to insert an establishment candidate, I would ruin that Chairman's life. I will not be bullied or bought off. My loyalty is to my country and my family, and I'll do anything I can to put the most qualified GRASSROOTS CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN that will represent our ideologies in office. 

That's why I have the respect of my clients and many grassroots organizations. I can be trusted. 

In order to win, we must do it ourselves. We don't need to kiss the ring or worse… some GOP leaders ass's. 

Second, start a Grassroots organization, be it a PAC or a 501c3. If you don't know how, call me, and I'll show you how to do it free of charge. Make it official. We need to BANKRUPT the Illinois GOP and instead direct donations to individual grassroots candidates and organizations. 

Use these organizations to train candidates, conduct voter registration drives, precinct committeeman recruitment, fundraising and training for Conservative causes. Get yourself an email list and Facebook page to get out the word. 

Offer services free of charge for candidates and other organizations to help each other.

Third, hold meetings and rallies to get out the vote and organize. It's important that we meet to plan how we will rebuild our party from the outside. Appoint certain leaders to do just that. By the way, Illinois needs a leader of the Grassroots Republicans. Are you ready to step up?

Fourth, VOTE OUT EVERY SINGLE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN LEADER AND CHAIRMAN. Begin to attend every meeting and come election vote out every single of those sons of bitches and replace them with Grassroots leaders. The time is ours now, not theirs. They had their chance and failed.

Fifth, QUIT the infighting. We are a family now let's act like family. We are political orphans ousted by the Illinois GOP leadership. I know siblings may fight and argue, but it has to stop now. Look at the greater picture. Set the jealousy and hate aside and focus on the true enemy, the RINOs and the Democrats. Just last week I had a pathetic, old, vile, hateful, RINO, ugly ass Hispanic woman from Kane County attack me because I boasted about a candidate I'm managing. You see, until this day she hates me because I actually worked for President Trump, and she's jealous of me for that. I could have easily attacked her and ruined what's left of her life, but I became the better man and ignored her. Make no mistake, I still sting though when attacked in different situations.

Sixth and finally, RUN FOR REPUBLICAN OFFICE. It's time to take out the Democrats and win back the Illinois General Assembly and the United States Congress. This includes primarying RINO REPUBLICANS like Illinois Senators Dan McConchie and Sue Rezin. I have a list of much more, and we are primarying these losers with REAL Conservatives. Right now, we have some amazing candidates running with more calling me every day to run. 

Run, run, run! What have you got to lose? There are resources to help you financially now. There is training and support to guide you 100% of the way. You will never be alone, and I can assure you of that. We need to take back this state and country for the benefit of our children's future. Choose to become a PATRIOT to fight to defend our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. For what you do now will be the testimony of your character. What will you explain to your grandchildren years from now? That you just worked to pay bills, or did you step up and rise to get elected to be the voice of the people to defend our Freedoms that hundreds of thousands of servicemen fought to protect and direct for? 

The Democrats and RINOs are ruining this country, working together passing social activists laws that soon will make America Sodom and Gomorrah. Are you willing to fight the Democrat and RINO agenda?

I make no apologies for supporting President Trump. I respect this man and I never left his side because of the sacrifices he has made for this great nation. Impeached twice, arrested twice. He was cheated out of election and is under constant attack by the Democrats and the media, and at 78 years old, he fights. He does this because he believes he can make a difference in Making America Great Again. For no selfish reasons, just for the flag and country. To offer everyday Americans to live in better economic prosperity. 

Yesterday, Stephan Graves, a Chicago GOP Chairman of the South West side put out an email to the Chicago Republicans that their meetings were suspended until fall to take a “break” from politics. This weak kneed “leader” is taking a BREAK? No, no, and no. There is no time for breaks. The fight never ends. Why are we Republicans so complacent while the Democrats are running laps around us winning races. It's the warrior mindset that they have and we don't. 

It's time to stop playing victim and go on the offensive, no matter how many people we offend at the party. Do you wish to continue losing or want to win? For these are the things we need to get done to take back our state and country. Are you willing to take up this fight today?

Let me end with this. Illinois Republicans are thirsty for new leadership. Like thirsty horses they want to be led to the water. Let me remind you the river doesn't come to the horses. However someone needs to step up to organize this grassroots effort. A face of this new leadership of the restored party. I personally would like to see Darren Bailey as he's already making things happen unofficially. He's actually helping the grassroots even after his loss. But what if the other Governor candidates that "cared" for Illinois?

Well Gary Rabine, Jessie Sullivan, Richard Irvin and Max Solomon fell off the earth with their pictures plastered on milk cartons MIA after they lost. They didn't care. We need a leader that does care. We are 100 days from gathering petition signatures for candidates and we are a team without a coach or a playbook. 

This is why we have to organize to make this effort regardless of ourselves even if someone doesn't step up. We are all leaders individually. Now let us lead to save our state and country on our own!
