DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTO: Bartlett Library board censures trustee. DD: I should write about my critics/opponents who in 2006 almost succeeded in getting their operatives and their dupes in the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They ever-increasingly blamed me and blamed my newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct had suffered since 2000. I would focus on my critics/opponents who still have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. My critics/opponents blame conservative Republicans for Republican defeats, and especially conservative Republicans like me who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. On who/what do you blame Republican defeats. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

— Know when to ask for help. DD: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have always been a Republican. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should asked for help from federal Republican elected officials much sooner than I did. To get rid of me, my Democrat Post Office superiors a) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and b) forced me to resign in 1969. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978,, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

I would start with candidates for federal offices, then for Illinois offices, then for DuPage County offices, then for Milton Township offices, and then for Wheaton Offices. I would focus on the aforesaid candidates who had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

OKLAHOMA COUNCIL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
— Envy. The Tenth Commandment and the rise of socialism. As socialism gains influence in American culture, parents and pastors must teach with renewed clarity that envy, jealousy, and covetousness are not political virtues—they are sins.

DD: To turn my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government against me, my Democrat superiors promoted envy big time.

— An illegal alien from Honduras was sentenced earlier this week to 96 months in prison for his role in operating a years-long off-the-books cash payroll scheme that facilitated the employment of illegal aliens working in the United States. The scheme caused a total loss to the United States of more than $38 million. DD: While I worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year, I increasingly collected delinquent payroll taxes. For 3 years while I worked for GAO at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $118,984-$126,917/year, I worked on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division.

INDIAN EXPRESS
— A strong woman is not marriage material. 95% of men want women who are helpless. Most men do not like strong women, especially those who have independent thoughts and are deeply committed to their work. DD: If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married when I was 29 in 1978. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/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 Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
