They crowed that they had children. They stressed that their wives had little or no income and that it cost lots of money to raise children. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981. They were furious a) that I went with my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, b) that we had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984, c) that I bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, and d) that we saved lots of money for our retirement.

— Democrats say “Trump facing questions about age, mental acuity.” All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination big time. They all promote up-or-out to promote age discrimination. According to them, federal employees like I was for almost 30 years who are Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time and who did make the following promotion deadlines like I failed to make are disgustingly bad persons and even worse things: GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $136,414/year) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $160,4567/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) by age 40. They stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and that I never made GS-14. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I did the following and still did not make the aforesaid promotion deadlines, I must be an extremely bad person: a) I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32.

NEW YORK MAGAZINE
— Democrats ask “Who’s the Kamala Harris VP Pick?” and say “Odds for Every Shortlist Candidate.”
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/who-kamala-harris-vp-pick-candidate-odds.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker  PROS: J.B. Pritzker is the popular second-term governor of Illinois. He has been an outspoken defender of abortion rights, and his nonprofit group, Think Big America, has funded abortion-rights efforts across the country. Pritzker has also been an active Biden campaign surrogate and is known for aggressively attacking Trump. Perhaps most important, Pritzker is loaded: The Hyatt Hotels heir has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion. He has self-financed campaigns in the past and could help ensure that money is not a problem for the Democratic ticket. CONS: Illinois is a blue state, so a Pritzker pick won’t really help Democrats in the Electoral College. He’s not very well known nationally, and putting the richest U.S. politician on the ticket may not go over well with some voters. PRITZKER’S STANCE: He endorsed Harris, saying, “She represents our party’s best chance to defeat Donald Trump in November, and I will work my heart out to help her do that.” He has yet to comment on potentially being her VP. AUDITION CLIP: Here’s Pritzker telling everyone what he really thinks about Trump:)
