DD: With the Supreme Court ruling, America’s enemies will ever-increasingly use birthright citizenship to destroy America. How did your ancestors become citizens? All my ancestors immigrated legally from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. They applied for citizenship and they became citizens. They never exhibited any type of anti-Americanism. My grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. Anticipate/expect that more and more and more of America’s enemies will pay/order their female citizens to get pregnant and to give birth in America. Democrats ever-increasingly elect more anti-Americans to government offices.

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— IRS needs to hire more veterans. DD: I should write about my many Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors who were veterans and the many big adverse actions that they took against me. What was your biggest mistake in life? For me, it was my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. My many Democrat superiors who were veterans used my avoiding the draft with deferments against me viciously. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. Did you try to enlist. I did not. I have always asked myself would I have been accepted if I had tried to enlist. I was 1-A even though I could not run because I had an inherited bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. My critics/opponents have always used my health problems against me. They have always stressed that if I had been accepted, I would not have been sent into combat and that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am a disgusting unmitigated hypocritical coward. According to my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who were veterans, if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. d) earn an MBA when I was 27, e) get married when I was 29, f) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, g) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, h) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or i) become a licensed CPA when I was 32.
