— Trump takes his affordability agenda on the road. DD: What did you do to afford things? I took bad jobs that my peers would not stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. According to my critics/opponents, I was grossly overpaid for those jobs and my pension and retirement benefits are much too generous. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Ageism in the Job Market Is Real. DD: I have been fighting ageism since I was 25 years old in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be promoted to GS-13. I ultimately did make GS-13, but not until I was 38 and had a) earned an MBA when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Skeletons in your closet? No problem, you can be a GOP candidate. DD: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Voters demand more from Republican candidates than from Democrat candidates. They demand even more from Republican candidates who state that they are conservative. Candidates can always run as Independents. Should political parties have the power to stop candidates from seeking offices as a member of their party? If so, what criteria should be used? Far too many candidates have tremendous skeletons in their closets. When those skeletons come out, not only do they lose, but the party that they ran under loses. When their skeletons come out, far too many Republican candidates blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. But nothing has ever been in my newsletters that was not already in the public realm and/or was already known by the Democrats. Democrat leaders have always falsely claimed to have first learned of Republican negatives from my newsletters. Far too many who are involved in Republican activities are Democrat plants.

DESERET NEWS
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasing destroy traditional marriage and family. Under the Democrats, fewer and fewer and fewer people are marriage material. What helped make you marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $108,978/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/documents/

HEALTH INSURANCE
— Does health insurance cover IVF and other fertility treatments? DD: I should write about my critics/opponents who have used against me the most my and my wife giving up trying to have children without trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents. According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able a) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) to earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) to become a licensed CPA in 1981. The aforesaid enabled me to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and to get promoted by GAO to GS-13 in 1986. Would Duckworth agree with my critics/opponents, and if so, why? Duckworth stresses what she has accomplished since she successfully used IVF.
