— Can you be fired for not wearing a mask at work?
(COMMENT: Because Zooming allows members of organizations to participate in meetings maskless, expect that Democrat and RINO organizations will stop Zooming to get rid of their members who do not promote masking. From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that you promote masking: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

DAILY HERALD
— What is the first word you use to describe yourself? – Editorial
(COMMENT: For me, between 1980 and 1997, it was GAO employee. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. Between 1983, and 1996, I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. In 1986, GAO promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. In 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, in 1994, a Certified Government Financial Manager, in 1996, a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and in early 1997, a Forensic Accountant. In early 1997, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. But in September of 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors made all of the aforesaid worthless by forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— Labor Day to showcase working families – LAMARCUS WILLIAMS
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes look down on wage earners, and they especially look down on wage earners who are union members. They stress that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. I transferred to GAO in 1980. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

(COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs call for giving preference to those who are minority, female, and/or younger. The more that you call for equal opportunity, that is, the more that you oppose race, gender, and age based preference giving, the more that you are canceled by those who promote race, gender, and age based preference giving. I should write a book about those who promote race, gender, and age based preference giving the most in the following, that is, those who cancel me the most in the following: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc. I would focus on those who also promote giving preference to those who share their religion and/or their national origin. I would focus on those who have taken the strongest adverse actions against me.)

— Find out where school board candidates stand on CRT – Gordon Eck
(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.)
https://www.dailylocal.com/2021/09/04/eck-find-out-where-school-board-candidates-stand-on-crt/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the head of a political party in Chester County, one of my duties is to help candidates get elected. But as a Republican, the responsibilities go much further. Our stated mission is to “serve the community of Chester County by promoting and growing the Republican Party and the values upon which it was founded.” These values are crystalized in our vision statement, derived from the Declaration of Independence, “to make the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness a reality for all.” It is rare that my responsibility to one of our candidates conflicts with our mission and vision. But when it does, principle takes priority over politics.)

I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

(COMMENT: I am one of those 99,640. My Social Security is $365 less each month because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension. I paid Social Security taxes while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210902/unfair-retirement-cuts
(FROM THE LETTER: I am a retired federal employee who loses $500 per month from my earned Social Security benefit. In 1984, Congress unfairly reduced public employee SSA pensions by two-thirds of the benefit earned and promised for no reason other than to save SSA money. No other category of pensions was reduced. We urge Congress to pass HR 82 and S1302 to remedy this unjust treatment. This unfair law adversely affects 99,640 citizens in Illinois and needs to be repealed so we can get the same benefits earned like everyone else.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former employee of financial powerhouse American Express has filed a lawsuit against his former company alleging he was terminated because he is white and because he said he opposed as racist the corporate “diversity” policy of increasing the number of non-white staffers. Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has published a great deal of research involving the corporate spread of “critical race theory” policies, wrote on Twitter that the former AmEx employee, Brian Netzel, was inspired to file suit based on his reporting.)

— Evanston/Skokie School District 65 this week filed a motion to dismiss drama teacher Stacy Deemar’s federal civil rights lawsuit. – Jonah Meadows
(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors kept me in a hostile work environment and took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
https://patch.com/illinois/evanston/drama-teachers-discrimination-suit-falls-woefully-short-d-65
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The filing cited comments from the teacher’s own attorney, who, in a television interview, appeared to admit that her client had not suffered discrimination. . .In her complaint, the drama teacher failed to allege that she was harmed in any way by the district’s race-conscious curriculum, failed to state an actionable civil rights claim and failed to allege that she suffered any adverse action or a hostile work environment, according to a memorandum in support of District 65’s motion.)

MILITARY TIMES
— Dishonorable discharges for vaccine refusal would be blocked under congressional proposal – Leo Shane III
(COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, because I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they gave me a dishonorable discharge, that is, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” Previously, they had taken many other adverse actions against me. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the following side with my Democrat GAO superiors: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers side with my Democrat GAO superiors.)
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2021/09/02/dishonorable-dismissals-for-vaccine-refusal-would-be-blocked-under-congressional-proposal/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The troops could still be forced from the ranks, but would receive honorable discharges. Supporters said the idea is to ensure those individuals aren’t given a lifelong mark on their military record because of personal concerns about the vaccine. . .“However, if somebody in good faith in the military says they can’t do it, they shouldn’t be stained for the rest of their lives with a dishonorable discharge.” . . .Amendment sponsor Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn. and an Army veteran, said that an other-than-honorable dismissal “significantly impacts an individual for the rest of their lives, including future employment … We should not destroy their lives for this.” . . .Troops who refuse can face various types of punishment, including dismissal from the service. “Many Americans have reservations about taking a vaccine that has only been available for less than a year,” the bill language states. “Reports of adverse actions being taken or threatened by military leadership at all levels are antithetical to our fundamental American values.” . . . Other types of reprimand besides dismissals, such as reductions in rank, would still be allowed under the measure.)

(COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, the following can and should censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party.

(COMMENT: From what I see, ever-increasingly, leaders of the following are less tolerant of conservatives, that is, less tolerant of platform Republicans: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District.)

— Job Seekers: Make sure you know these vital tips to ensure your background check is accurate – KEVIN NEUDECKER
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress and affirm the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— A national debt: Should government compensate for slavery and racism?
(COMMENT: Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are reparations. Democrats make Republicans pay the price of reparations. How much reparations have the Democrats made you pay? In 1997, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black Democrat subordinate, which they did. Previously, to give preference to my Democrat coworkers and subordinates who minority, female, and or younger, they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Combating Whistleblower Retaliation: How to Maximize Your Recovery
(COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, nation origin discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/combating-whistleblower-retaliation-how-to-maximize-your-recovery
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All too often, whistleblowers who disclose fraud to their employers, law enforcement, or government agencies suffer retaliation by their employers. Whistleblower retaliation takes a serious toll on whistleblowers both financially and emotionally, including an inability to pay living expenses, reputational harm, alienation, blacklisting, and emotional distress. Whistleblower protection laws can provide a potent remedy, but before bringing a retaliation claim, it is crucial to assess the options under federal and state law and develop a strategy to achieve the optimal recovery. Key issues to consider include the scope of protected whistleblowing, the burden of proof, the damages that a prevailing whistleblower can recover, the forum where the claim would be litigated, and the impact of the retaliation claim on a whistleblower rewards claim.)

(COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats will call for government a) to take more and more and more opportunities, income, and wealth away from White Republican males and b) to give those opportunities, that income, and that wealth to Democrat minorities, Democrat females, Democrat young people, Democrat LGBTQers, illegals, Democrats who are not married, Democrats who have financial, health, and/or other problems, Democrats who are not Christian, Protestant, Italian American, and/or German American, and/or Democrats whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
