— Can We Do Anything About America’s Decline? The remedies are agreed upon, but the needed medicine is feared more than the disease. Because today, the government is the cause of our many crises. – Victor Davis Hanson (COMMENT: My outstanding parents did not have enough money to send me to college. Neither of them attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. While I was able to take college preparatory courses, to get an ACT score of 24, to get accepted by UIC, to work my way through college, and to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, my GPA suffered.)
https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/16/can-we-do-anything-about-americas-decline/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Race is no longer an accurate barometer of either victimhood or legitimate grievance. If “affirmative” action were to continue, it should be based entirely on class considerations, not the current system of Elizabeth Warrenesque fakery or delusions that the elite children of Eric Holder, the Obamas, the Duchess of Sussex, or LeBron James are in some need of compensatory privilege for college admissions, appointments, or hiring.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thus far, the tragic shooting in Dadeville appears to not involve an “angry white man,” which the left is quick to blame for mass shootings, though as I’ve reported, this is not the norm. We can expect the usual responses from the libs that guns, not criminals who use them to kill, are bad. The left will call for the end of “gun violence” even as big, blue cities refuse to punish the people causing so much chaos. It’s all a ruse to take your guns. Leftists will gladly sacrifice thousands of lives to disarm We the People.)

NBC NEWS
— Democrats say “Alarming rise in youth gun deaths breaks down very differently by race” and “A closer look at the numbers reveals even more alarming trends, especially among young African Americans.” What percent of African Americans are killed by African Americans?
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/data-download/alarming-rise-youth-gun-deaths-breaks-differently-race-rcna79916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And even more remarkable than the jump in gun deaths was the racial breakdown. In the 2021 data, the Pew Research Center found that Black children were hit much harder than other young people. Among African American children, the rate of gun deaths per 100,000 people was 11.8. That was more than five times the figure for other racial and ethnic groups. For white children and Hispanics, the figure was 2.3 per 100,000, and for Asian children, it was even lower, at 0.9. The difference in the 2021 numbers suggests a very different problem and challenge among Black children, which is confirmed when look at what drove gun deaths by race. For Black youths, the numbers were driven, heavily, by homicides. Among young African Americans, more than 8 in 10 gun deaths were homicides, while fewer than 10% were suicides. The numbers were flipped for white youths. Two-thirds of all gun deaths among that group were suicides, while fewer than a quarter were homicides. Such numbers may help explain why different lawmakers see the gun problem so differently.)

My critics/opponents a) argue that IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO should have the power to do the aforesaid because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC), b) argue that MTRO made a big mistake when it appointed me as a RPC in 1999, and c) argue that MTRO would never have appointed me as a RPC since then.

When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 (currently $37,537/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $67,046/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $21,863/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)
