Officials connected pollution from industry and major highway traffic with the 10-year life expectancy gap between Black and white Chicagoans.” My father worked in the office of a nasty polluted chemical plant on the northeast side of Chicago Heights from 1941 until he died in 1969 at age 47. I worked in the polluted Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and 1970-1972. I worked in the polluted Harvey 1972-1973.

But if I was 18 today, USPS would not hire me today because of my bad demographics.

— Teachers’ hypocrisy – Tony Atkins, Wheaton
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20230916/teachers-hypochrisy
(FROM THE LETTER: We are told that school choice is racist. The Invest in Kids tax credit program that is expiring is fascist and racist according to teachers unions and CTU President Stacy Davis Gates yet she has school choice sending her kids to private schools. Facts are that 40% of the Chicago teachers send their kids to private school. Nationally 11% of the parents send kids to private school while it is 20% of teachers sending their kids to private school. With at least 50 schools and possibly more in Chicago not having any kids read, write or complete math at grade level no wonder CTU is sending their kids to private schools. Evidently, they can’t educate taxpayers’ kids so they want someone else to educate theirs using their over bloated tax payer-paid salary to pay tuition.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Democrats say “Florida jury pool could give Trump an advantage in classified documents case.” To get a fair trial, you need to get a jury of your peers. Trump cannot get a fair trial because hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have had far too much success in getting Trump’s peers, that is, those who share his demographics, to hate him. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. I share all of the aforesaid demographics with Trump. I should write a book about those a) who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, b) who hate Trump the most, c) who they themselves share many demographics with Trump, d) who have done the most to promote hatred against me since 2015, and e) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.

I am conservative, Republican, 100% German American, and I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I should write a book about the great success that Democrat politicians had forcing my many liberal Jewish GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors and supervisors to take many/big adverse actions against me. At GAO, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and they forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. AT IRS, they never promoted me beyond GS-12, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. At the Post Office, they forced me to resign in 1969 and they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. Further, I should write a book about the vicious 4-page article in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue that liberal Jews wrote about me.

— Biden protects the bloated bureaucracy over those they serve – Betsy McCaughey (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. Do you know any Republicans who work/worked for the federal government? In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. In 1971, I was one of last Republicans IRS hired. In 1966, I was one of the last Republicans the Post Office hired. I should write a book about what my Democrat superiors did to waste my career and to get rid of me.)
https://nypost.com/2023/09/18/biden-protects-the-bloated-bureaucracy-over-those-they-serve/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House unveiled a proposed rule Friday that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrest control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules making it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them. They overwhelmingly favor the left. A staggering 95% of unionized federal employees who donate to political candidates give to Democrats, according to Open Secrets. Only a tiny 5% support Republicans. Some federal workers in high positions slow-walk or even derail a Republican president’s agenda — and get away with it. Why bother to vote if the left-leaning deep state stays in charge no matter who wins the presidency? GOP candidates Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis are vowing to conquer this obstructionism.)

https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/18/goldman-sachs-quietly-scrubs-race-based-eligibility-criteria-diversity-program-legal-experts-concerns/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Goldman Sachs quietly scrubbed references to race from its eligibility criteria for a two-day “diversity symposium” after legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the program could run into problems with federal civil rights laws. The eligibility criteria for Goldman Sachs’ 2023 MBA Diversity Symposium previously restricted the program to students “that identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, or women,” according to a web archive from Sept. 13. The eligibility requirements no longer include race or gender, the current webpage shows, a change that follows a Saturday DCNF report on race and gender-restricted opportunities for college students offered by top Wall Street investment banking firms. The program is now open to “first-year MBA students interested in pursuing a 2024 Summer Associate opportunity,” according to the updated information page. Goldman Sachs now notes at the bottom of the page that “students that identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, or women are encouraged to apply.”)
