I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents.

There will be more and more and more Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, there will be more and more and more race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and notional origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

How successful were your Republican township candidates? Ever since my wife and I moved to Milton Township in 1978, all of the Milton Township elected officials have been Republican. Since 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I have done much to help elect and reelect Republican Milton Township candidates, including hand-delivering their campaign literature to the residences in my precinct (currently 400) that have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter.

— Trump administration begins mass layoffs of federal workers. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They used Gingrich budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. The agency shrank from more than 6,000 to less than 3,000. It was almost always under hiring and/or promotion freezes. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.
