“Don’t be stupid, be a shmahtee, come and join the Dazi party.”

Word to my bolshevik bastard former comrades:

Shabbat Shalom, motherf*ckers.

May 22 proved to be a timely moment to remind my Facebook and anti-social cesspool X audience that I fracked out of the DSA on April 6, 2023.

I’ll take DSA GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL for 500, Alex.

The struggle for ecology, feminism, and a more democratic control of resources getting replaced by the enraged and homicidal Lefty Jihad.

What is the influence of Russian, Iranian, Saudi, or Qatari Petro-dollars and organized crime on the American Left?

Since it’s not AIPAC money we’re talking about, I guess we’ll never know.

Shoeless Joe, Pete Rose, That Guy, and My Old Man.

Today would have been my dad’s 84th birthday had he not died in a hospital not long after his 80th. Since he is not here to give his opinion, let me share it with you: He told me many times that the lifetime ban from baseball for Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose should only apply to the span of their mortal time on Earth. He believed Shoeless Joe belonged in the Hall of Fame and he believed that Pete Rose ought to be posthunously inducted there. I agree with Pops. Pete’s lifetime ban is expired.

He also insisted that you not mention the name of that guy that is now running against Vice President Kamala Harris.

My dad was a proud independent conservative. He served in Vietnam and he was weirdly proud to have voted for Barry Goldwater. He was not so proud about Vietnam, though he made his peace with it and started wearing his Vietnam Veteran cap later in life… and he started displaying his medals on a plaque on the wall. Prior to that, he kept them in a drawer for a couple decades.

But he never made his peace with that guy. In his last year, he opened up considerably about the war. It was more than I wanted to know. Like I said, he made his peace with it. He said the one thing that never made sense was being with a buddy talking to him one minute and then a minute later he’s gone, because of a small hole. He got over Vietnam somewhat, made his peace with it, but it took almost half a century and there wasn’t that much time for that guy that insulted the gold star parents of a fallen soldier and got away with it and became President, anyway… my dad didn’t live to see Joe Biden elected, nor see that other guy behaving like a disrespectful clown at Arlington Cemetery.

You couldn’t mention that guy’s name around my dad, so I won’t mention it, but f*ck that guy.

If you vote for that guy, I respect your right as an American to vote your conscience, but as my father’s son, I must say again, f*ck that guy. He deserves a lifetime ban more than those other guys did.

Friends, colleagues, fellow citizens… support Gloria Witt for Congress in southside Virginia.

The Coordinated Dream Team in southside Virginia… Kamala Harris (Tim Walz), Tim Kaine, and Gloria Witt.

When I came to Danville, Virginia in 2008, we pulled off one of the biggest upsets in decades. We won the deep red 5th District by about 800 votes. The record turnouts in Danville had a lot to do with it. Barack Obama at the top of the ticket had a lot to do with it, but that’s not the whole story. Me and Marcus Hughes having conversations in Cardinal Village (walking into the middle of a gun battle one time) had a lot to do with it. Bryant Hood and Steph Spissu getting out at midnight in the 6th Ward to make sure the right door hangers were in place after a report about Republicans switching them up… that had a lot to do with it.

We met many new voters and people that hadn’t voted in a long time. They were excited about Barack Obama, but they didn’t know that Tom Perriello was going to help Barack in the Congress until we had those conversations.

Volunteers walking their home turf in every part of Danville. That had everything to do with it. Felicia King and her crew of teenagers in 11. Ms. Virginia in 6. Ms. Gloria working the front desk. The ladies that ran the Danville Voter Contact Machine phone bank… that had more than a lot to do with it.

But we also had conversations with Republicans and won their votes. They thought Barack was going to raise taxes. They didn’t know he was raising the top rate and was going to give them the largest payroll tax cut in history. They found out Barack was running to put money in their pockets, just as Kamala, Tim Kaine, and Gloria Witt are fighting for working people today.

We brought people together and pulled off an upset and we’re getting the band back together to do it again.

I’m down here helping my friend Joshua Norris. I met him while he was volunteering in 2008 and now he’s campaign manager for Gloria Witt. We’re both doing whatever we can to build back the Danville Voter Contact Machine. At minimum, we will get extra votes for Kamala and the Tims (Walz and Kaine) but it would be especially meaningful to win this Congressional seat again.

The Dems haven’t won it since 2008, but we have a good candidate that can draw a broad coalition and pull off the upset. We want Kamala to win but we also want to make sure she has the people in Congress that will help give working families a #BetterDeal.

Help us help them. I have phone calls to make and doors to hit, so please pass this blog around your personal network and help us support the organizing work that will make this deep red seat blue… again.

We have a chance to make history and do what’s best for our country.

Elected offices held: Vernon Township Trustee since May

Questions Answers

Regardless of whether this is a problem, what can the clerk do to reduce harassment, especially sexual harassment against women, in the office? Are new policies needed?

First, the clerk must absolutely follow state-mandated policy. Second, As Vernon Township Trustee, I contributed to implementing a new, strict policy against harassment before it was mandated by the state and I am currently being sued for contributing to the enforcement of this policy. It is a matter of public record that the threats and execution of legal action against me, along with concurrent smears about my motivation and character, do not deter me from standing up for workers. If the current policy of the Clerk is not as strict as the one we implemented in Vernon Township, I will make it so. If it already is, I will hold myself accountable to it, not only to the public, but to my co-workers. Accountability is a vital part of a positive work place culture and it is a two way street. I must be accountable to my co-workers in any office and I will gain respect by giving it.

Do you believe same-sex couples should be able to marry? Regardless of that personal belief, will you support the legal right of same-sex couples to marry if elected?

I do. And I do.

How will you ensure the security of ballots and guard against hacking efforts?

Recruiting, training, and deploying volunteers for massive Get Out The Vote efforts was part of my work as a campaign and voting rights organizer. This managerial skill can be applied for having a larger roster of better-trained election judges. Through my volunteer Voter Protection work and otherwise being active in local politics, I know we have many excellent judges. They are a great resource. Some could use more training and help. Poll watchers, with the right training and supervision, can be a great resource matching the number of voters with ballots cast. Cross-checking, rather than purging voters, might be a method for providing numbered paper receipts not only confirming tabulation, but as a way for voters to verify online that the numbered receipt matches the record. Admittedly, cyber-security is not an area of expertise for me, but as a first step, my friend of over 40 years, Dan Dagher, a retired USAF Colonel formerly assigned to the Pentagon currently working as a cyber-security analyst, thoughtfully prepared research for me to study. I intend to complete that and build on it. Aside from education and diligence, if elected, networking with relevant experts and agencies to discover options and policies would supplement my duties as clerk.

Are there additional measures the county should take to allow for fair and equal access to voting for all residents?

Greater access to early voting might increase election integrity through greater participation and a larger timeframe for properly resolving discrepancies. Long lines and inconvenient access is discriminatory against citizens who work long hours and those who have limited options for childcare.

What are your thoughts on consolidating the county clerk’s and recorder’s offices? How would this benefit/hurt the county?

I am open to reviewing a cost-benefit analysis and would attend public hearings on this matter. I am currently involved in a consolidation effort within Vernon Township. The hearings are ongoing and I have not yet cast my vote on that matter though I am finding compelling reasons for consolidating our highway department into the Township government, mainly because it’s inefficient to disburse public funds carte blanche with no system of accountability in place. In principle, consolidating government sounds attractive as a matter of reducing bureaucracy, but in practice there is the danger of eliminating one unit to create a larger, less accountable unit. The devil is in the details.

What other issues, if any, are important to you as a candidate for this office?

I want to learn the full effect of the crosscheck purge in Illinois and I want to prevent it from happening again. I do not know the exact impact of the crosscheck purge on Lake County, but as a volunteer with the Tenth Dems Voter Protection Team I did see an example of a scrubbed voter in Lake County being turned away from the polling place and being treated rudely by an election judge and then leaving rather than casting a provisional ballot. To me, one voter in the county illegally denied the right to vote, or being denied the vote because of bureaucratic imposition that, in effect, suppressed the vote, is unacceptable. This sort of thing: votes “legally stolen” has a tendency to breed cynicism and further erodes democracy. Rather than being disillusioned, I am now compelled to make a difference to end such practices.

Please name one current leader who most inspires you.

Barack Obama, not just nostalgia for basic competence and dignity. He personifies HOPE many of us continue to realize.

What is the biggest lesson you learned at home growing up?

War has a price that can’t be calculated by counting killed or wounded in action or lost treasure.

If life gave you one do-over, what would you spend it on?

I’d give it to someone who really needed it.

What was your favorite subject in school and how did it help you in later life?

History. It brought me to progressive politics.

If you could give your children only one piece of advice, what would it be?

Don’t be a hero fighting in a war. Be a hero that prevents a war.

Thinking of the fallen, those that mourn, and a prayer for peace.

The legacy I inherited from my father included a hand-me-down Dick Butkus jersey and the last gifts he gave me just before he died: a book by Abraham Rabinovich, The Yom Kippur War (The Epic Encounter That Transformed The Middle East), and a vintage Panasonic Radio.

I wore the jersey to work this past Friday to honor Butkus, whose death was announced the previous day.

Friday was also the anniversary of my dad’s death. October 6, 2020. Six days after he turned 80 in the hospital, and also the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

Anyone close to me knows Pops was a Vietnam veteran. He was also a US military advisor to Israel.

In addition to books like Ethics of Our Fathers, or My People, the Story of the Jews by Abba Eban, he gave me The Tanks of Tammuz by Shabtai Teveth. The book was personally inscribed to him by an Israeli General.

When my dad’s family fled what is now Ukraine, Some went to the British colony formerly controlled by Turkey that became the modern state of Israel. We had cousins in the Irgun. Other family came here. The rest disappeared.

My last name comes from a city in modern Ukraine called Brody (pronounced Brawd-dee). 9,000 to 10,000* Jews lived there before the Nazi invasion. Most** of them were murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian auxiliary.

I’ve been trying to write about all this for the past few days, but I’ve been pretty blocked up until I started using my Facebook status as a composition platform.

I was hoping to make some sort of grand statement, but right now I’m just trying to cope and get through the day. The world was really closing in on me a few weeks ago. I dealt with it responsibly and got by with a little help from my friends. My spirits lifted. Now it’s closing in on me again. This is a good opportunity to stop brooding and get out of my own head.

Here’s a prayer for those that mourn, whether they are family, enemies, strangers, or related to departed football players:

Shalom.

The Righteous of all Nations will have a share in the World to Come.

(*Broad note 9/1/2025: I originally cited over 100,000 off the top of my head. Further research indicated that I unintentionally exaggerated the Jewish population of Brody just prior to WW2. Over a decade prior to the original post of this blog, I started a research project on Brody. My error was based on faulty memory of what I had read years earlier. When I resumed studying the history of Brody I realized I made a terrible mistake.)

Wiki: History of the Jews in Brody https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Brody

Holocaust Historical Society UK: Brody https://www.holocausthistoricalsociety.org.uk/contents/ghettosa-i/brody.html

(** Broad note 9/1/2025: Originally I stated “less than 20 survived” There’s a report of hundreds that survived in the woods as partisan fighters. Again, faulty memory and not fact-checking myself while writing off the top of my head. A simple google search would have given me pause.)

Paul Vallas for public safety and holding the line on taxes

Photo by Maritza #2, different from the Maritza that appeared in my other blog.

Community policing reduced homicide and crime in Chicago in the past. Paul Vallas was part of that, and now, after spending time with my candidate and hearing his plans and motivation in greater detail than a vast majority of voters can tolerate, I have good reason to think Chicago united with Mayor Paul Vallas can have the best version of community policing and be the safest city in the country. The answer isn’t left, right, or center solutions, it’s combining the best versions of all of those being managed by the budgetary discipline of Paul Vallas. The alternative is a candidate who has repeatedly lied about his plans for the Chicago Police and his vast array of tax plans that will hurt everyone and likely push Chicago from the tipping point into an economic nose-dive.

Brandon Johnson is a class warrior supported by my comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America. They are launching their revolution in a city that depends on private investment, corporate jobs, conventions, tourists, professional sports, and world class restaurants. Like it or not, Illinois has a billionaire Democratic Governor. Speaking as someone that has been a card-carrying Democratic Socialist for over 37 years, this city and the Brandon Johnson coalition are not a good fit. Crime is impacting the economy and if getting rid of the cops was part of the solution, the under-staffed CPD would be producing better results for the Chicago Commune, instead of just making half the riders too scared on the EL and most former riders opting to remain former riders. Let’s shake that empty fare box and shout slogans and idealistic goals at it and see if the budget magically grows. Even Richard M Daley buying the magic bean turned out to generate more revenue than anything Elgin Branding Brandon is likely to come up with.

The Mayor of Chicago will need to collaborate with the Governor, a diverse Chicago city council and the moderate democratic super majority in Springfield. Paul Vallas is more closely aligned to the moderates than Johnson. Like it or not, you cannot have reform without collaboration. Johnson blaming unsolved problems and broken promises on his enemies will not be a fun thing to watch while the city implodes.

Paul Vallas has a winning message to unite the city: Public Safety and Holding The Line on Taxes. But wait, there’s more…

https://www.paulvallas2023.com/

We need CPD on the EL, on regular beats in the communities, in the parks, and we ought to build the next generation of CPD from the neighborhoods for the neighborhoods. Vallas wants all that and knows how to do it.

My Defund the Police comrades insist more police is more fascism and more heads getting busted open. That’s fine for protest politics people who don’t manage a city, but a Chicago Mayor with that kind of contempt for police officers that risk their lives for the city is unacceptable to me. Under Johnson I expect we will lose a lot of experienced cops who also find it unacceptable.

Tearing down yard signs is old school Chicago politics kid stuff that had gone out of style, but it has been passionately brought back by the Johnson campaign.

Some people in the Johnson camp are openly celebrating the possibility of an already understaffed CPD being more understaffed under Johnson.

Most of the comrades are not cop haters but a few of them are not too shy or ashamed to celebrate when cops get killed. Brandon Johnson condemns a moderate Democrat getting votes from Republicans that want public safety and don’t want higher taxes, but Brandon Johnson is not turning away any support from people that say “There is no such thing as a good cop.”

Johnson went from strongly advocating #DefundThePolice to saying he would cut well over 100 million from the police budget and leave 1100 vacancies in the ranks.

Until a few days ago, Brandon Johnson advocated a Defund The Police agenda as candidate for Mayor while claiming he did not support Defunding the Police. There’s proof, right there, that Brandon Johnson plays fast and loose with the truth.

Brandon Johnson is the Black Trump in this race and he’s getting away with it. Remember, Brandon Johnson said Barack Obama is a Republican, too. It’s a Bernie Bro position I’ve expressed in a more nuanced way, but stated bluntly, it’s a lie. It sets a terrible example for the kids. Pretending Obama did nothing good is the sort of thing Donald Trump did when he systematically rolled those things back.

Brandon Johnson disrespects Barack Obama, just like Trump, and he does the same thing to Paul Vallas, because an honest comparison between the two leaves Brandon at the County Board fetching Toni Preckwinkle’s coffee or defunding the Sheriff’s office like he did.

If Brandon Johnson had the ability to cut through waste and corruption to fund political reform he would have done it already at the Cook County Board.

Brandon Johnson’s four years with seventh and eighth graders must’ve made him a little too comfortable thinking he was the smartest guy in the room. Now, after entering the race a Defund The Police hero, lying about that while pushing Defund The Police agenda, he says not a penny comes out.

Brandon Johnson, Cook County Commissioner with a six figure CTU organizer salary and a 1 million dollar double pension is not the progressive champion he appears to be.

Let’s be kind and just say Brandon Johnson is being less than his best self. He walked back one of his core beliefs in order to get elected and he walked back his tax plans in order to get elected. Was he lying to the anti-cop comrades when he stood for Defund The Police or is he lying to moderates and everyone else when he walks it all back?

He’s definitely lying to one group of Chicagoans when he shouldn’t be lying to any of us.

This is a personal blog to answer friends that don’t understand why I support the best qualified candidate. This is a rogue production and it is not endorsed by any campaign, candidate, or committee.

Our Revolution Bullshit

Great fundraising email by Our Revolution!

We suck at organizing #M4A and #GND so let’s do culture war bullshit instead!

This is a progressive organization reinventing themselves as Brandon Johnson grifters and playing Bernie Sanders followers for chumps.

Paul Vallas is an ally. You can disagree with his lack of hard left ideology, but why lie about his stances and put out your tip jar? That’s not what Bernie would do. Does he know his voter list is being used for this garbage? Someone please tell him.

Paul Vallas is endorsed by Tom Tunney, the first openly gay alderman to serve on Chicago City Council. Strongly endorsed.

Paul Vallas is endorsed by Gery Chico, who supported gay marriage in the 2004 Senate race when every other major candidate, including Barack Obama, hedged.

This Tom Tunney ad is from the primary. Early voting is now.

My name is Adam Broad and I am the literal worst guy you know that just endorsed Paul Vallas for Mayor.

Adam Broad is one of the founding co-organizers of Our Illinois Revolution and Our Revolution Lake County. He was on the slate of 2020 delegates for Bernie Sanders in IL-10. He was an organizer for the Illinois Single Payer Coalition before launching an unsuccessful campaign for Congress which was endorsed and organized by Our Revolution Buffalo Grove.

This resolution, addressed to me, is really about all of us working together

Former Vernon Township Trustee Adam Broad “the socialist that lowered the property tax levy” became a school bus driver for three years after an unsuccessful attempt to elect Bernie Sanders and win election to Congress.

This is a re-edited Drama Queen Facebook post from Oscar Night. I prefer to think of myself as Drama King, but Lee “The Lorax” Dynamo insists I’m DQ. Wishful thinking, Lee? Kiss, kiss.

Golda Meir famously said, “Don’t be so humble. You’re not that great.” With her good advice in mind, let me share this resolution (HR 233) almost two years ago by the Illinois General Assembly that honored my public service.

HR 233 Broad jokingly referred to this as his participation trophy. Former Township Supervisor Dan Didech, later elected to Representative in the General Assembly, was recruited by Broad to join the Vernon Township Democratic slate. They met in an Obama Alumni email chain with former campaigners discussing various plans to run for office. Didech was unaware the local party reactivated after years of being dormant. The reborn Vernon Township Democrats started as a caucus of 15 people meeting at a Panera Bread. No one present wanted to run for Supervisor.

https://legiscan.com/IL/text/HR0233/id/2377807

Thanks to Dan Didech. Despite occasional disagreements and class differences, I am proud of the work he does in the General Assembly.

Also, fond thanks to our former constituency outreach director who became Lake County Treasurer, Holly Kim; the man I love and fight with like a brother, former Trustee Jon Altenberg, became Supervisor when Dan was promoted by the voters. Jon’s leadership during the pandemic proved to me he was the better Trustee to get Dan’s job. I don’t always feel that way about political battles I lose.

Shout at former Trustee Roger Addelson for his good humor and always standing up for workers, Sheila Seibor, who took Jon’s place among the Trustees and became a leader and gave friendship and respect while in disagreement to the lefty that always wanted to push the board much further than it or the voters wanted it go. Saving the best for last, Trustee Phil Hirsch, who along with Akrom Hossain, blazed a trail for there to be such a thing as Vernon Township Democrats.

Trustee Phil Hirsch.

Our Republican opponents ran unopposed four years before we challenged them. After our reforms, it was Democrats running unopposed in a conservative township.

Trustee Roger Addelson is sworn in for his second term. Vernon Township Democrats ran unopposed in 2021 eight years after Republicans ran unopposed in 2013. The Vernon Township Democrats winning all contested races in 2017 started a Blue Wave which culminated in the end of almost 100 years of Republican control in Lake County. Seated: Trustee Sheila Seibor and Supervisor Jon Altenberg.

Thanks to Gary, Barbara, and Todd, hold-overs from the previous administration that worked with us to make things better.

Retired Vernon Township Clerk Barbara Barnabee receives her own participation trophy from Township Supervisor Jon Altenberg. For decades she did the work of three people (Clerk, Office Manager, and many day to day responsibilities of former supervisor William Peterson, who simultaneously held office in Springfield).

Retired Township Assessor John Raupp watches Barbara Barnabee receive recognition for decades of public service. Raupp and the other township assessors stood up against county leadership for over-taxing property owners.

Seated next to him is Trustee Sheila Seibor (recent new leader of the Vernon Township Democrats) and Trustee Roger Addelson (now retired and living near children and grandchildren in California with his wife Susan)

An extra shout out to Phil. We started out drastically opposed and developed mutual respect. Like many progressives, I can throw slogans with the best of them. Phil knows how to read a budget. He’d be too moderate for some of the comrades, but he helped us get nicer things for the people that trusted us while reducing their financial burden.

This resolution, addressed to me, is really about all of us working together. Here’s to Broad Coalitions and the good things we can do in public service.

Also thanks to our maven Lauren Beth-Gash for suggesting that I might consider public service, Super Scott, for the ground work, Rep. Brad Schneider for giving the slate credibility. Stepson Adam for being a volunteer superstar, Deacon for helping… all the volunteers, especially the best Doctor in Lake County, Dr. Mrs. Girlfriend, who volunteered on Election Day and ran off to the courthouse with me at lunch and married me. I had no way to lose that day, and of course, she gives me most of the credibility I have in Lake County… so many others… thank you all.

Sorry, Golda, if I’m being too humble.

Dr. Mrs. Girlfriend: Dr. Lisa Peck, pictured here emerging from time travel in the late 1960s. Twice voted best doctor in Lake County. Named as one of the Top Doctors in Chicagoland by Chicago magazine. They got her name wrong, actually. They still have her listed as Peck-Rosen. They might want to consult Ira Rosen’s wife Shawna about that choice.
