— Democrats say “Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter visit Georgia festival ahead of former president’s 99th birthday.” How active do you see yourself being when you are in your 90s? I will soon be 75. I wonder how long I will be able to spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, because I was a White male non-veteran Republican who had not made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year), my Democrat IRS superiors wrote me off as being too old to promote any more. Nevertheless, I did make GS-13 in 1986 after I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.

— GOP Candidates Head to Reagan’s Library as Party Drifts From His Ideas. Republican 2024 hopefuls, sans Trump, will debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library this week. – John McCormick (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997. They were furious that Reagan got elected and reelected. They took their hatred against Reagan out on me, one of their few employees who were Republican. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. It is called political affiliation discrimination.)

— MARCH 4, 2020 FLASHBACK: Presidential candidates drive Chevys – Henry Payne (COMMENT: What vehicles do you own? The vehicles that you own say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself. I own a 1972 Corvette, 1996 Thunderbird LX, 2005 Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2018 Cruze LT (daily driver), 2019 Escape Titanium, 2021 Malibu Premier, and 2023 Mustang GT Premium.)
https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/03/04/presidential-candidates-car-choices-make-statement/4863616002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The personal vehicles of political candidates have always been fraught with meaning as politicians express their empathy for the state that put America on wheels — and the United Auto Workers union employees who built them. Candidate choices are complicated by Democratic platforms that declare autos a threat to the planet, even as the Detroit Three automakers butter their bread with hulking sport utility vehicles and trucks coveted by consumers. Few consumer items express your personality like a car. You are what you drive. Truck owners are different from sports car owners are different from hybrid owners. During the last presidential election, a CarTalk.com/National Public Radio poll found that 86% of electric car owners were for a Democrat and 14% supported Republicans.)
