WASHINGTON TIMES
— Foreshadowing America at the precipice in 2022. If USAID did an assessment of America today, what might it foretell? – Ron MacCammon
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/22/foreshadowing-america-at-the-precipice-in-2022/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Data collected on the U.S. using this lens shows a nation in turmoil. Some of the glaring indicators are the crumbling of cultural and civic institutions, a toxically divided populace, an economy vitiated by COVID-19 and a significant loss of international prestige. Across the spectrum, Americans are distrustful and disdainful and appear to coalesce around two camps: the aggrieved and the resilient. Data gleaned from the analysis shows America’s aggrieved is a cabal committed to radically transforming society into a liberal dystopia. They see America through a lens of oppression and victimhood, and if you disagree, you are an existential threat. This is no proletarian movement. They use identity politics, institutional racism and COVID-19 as cudgels to purposefully badger everyday Americans into compliance. They are oblivious to context and nuance and rarely consider second- or third-order consequences. The aggrieved control the universities and have increasingly pushed their indoctrination into secondary education. They exert considerable control over legacy and social media, corporate America, sports figures and celebrities. They understand the power of networks and astutely recognize them as more important than hierarchical bureaucracies. The assessment shows the resilient represent traditional societal and institutional norms. Things like freedom of speech, law and order, and our history … warts and all. They are not as organized, nor have they been as committed to defending their values in the public square. The resilient are repelled by the brazen hypocrisy of the aggrieved and have suffered years of gratuitous insults. They finally recognize tolerance has only emboldened the aggrieved.)

(COMMENT: The low performance evaluations that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave me conflicted with the fact a) that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) that I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) that I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant.)

— How Long is a Home Builder Responsible for Construction Defects? – SHARON FELDMAN
https://www.legalreader.com/how-long-is-a-home-builder-responsible-for-construction-defects/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Worse than discovering small imperfections in your home is realizing that major construction mistakes are causing actual harm. Construction defects like leaks, mold, sinking or cracking can be detrimental to your property and to your physical health. Perhaps these errors were easy to overlook on the day of inspection, but as time has passed you realize that the mistakes are more significant than you thought. Your biggest investment is also losing value. What are Home Construction Defects? Construction defects come in various forms and produce a variety of problems for homeowners. Every state has different laws and statutes of limitation regarding construction policy.)

https://www.wbez.org/stories/the-political-battle-for-illinois-counties/a2ef057e-aa35-4e06-b86a-7a4cd6fdb3cc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2018, Pritzker made easy work out of predecessor Bruce Rauner’s reelection bid, routing the one-term Republican by nearly 16 percentage points. Pritzker did so while losing 86 out of Illinois’ 102 counties, but that showing amounted to an improvement for Democrats over previous elections. Admittedly, many of those 86 counties are sparsely populated. Regardless of the margins Rauner put up in them, they weren’t enough to overcome Pritzker winning four out of five of the collar counties and taking Cook County by historic margins. Pritzker defeated Rauner in Cook County by more than 836,000 votes. No gubernatorial candidate since at least the Roaring ’20s posted a winning margin that large in Cook County.)

— Orthodox rabbis call on US universities to suspend diversity programs. A recent study suggested that the programs spread antisemitism. – Tyler O’Neil
(COMMENT: In 1989, when I was 41 years old, after my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors made it clear that to get rid of me, they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, they approved my request to be assigned to their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. That group was led by a GS-15 (currently $142,041-$172,500/year) Jewish younger female of Russian national origin. Many, if not most of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want to work with her and/or to work for her because she was Jewish, younger than they were, female, more liberal that they were, Russian national origin, demanding, wealthy, and/or had more education and/or professional certifications than they had. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She accepted me into her group because I had a) become a licensed CPA in 1981, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— A Deafening Silence – Patrick Hall
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/blog/2021/12/21/a-deafening-silence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to government crime statistics, if you are a police officer, you are 361times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. Also, blacks being only 13% of the population, commit violent crimes at 7 to 10 times the rate of other Americans. Black crime is even more prevalent in our largest cities. For example, blacks committed 76 percent of all homicides in Chicago, IL, despite composing 35 percent of the city’s population. Blacks also accounted for 78 percent of all juvenile arrests. In the city of New York, even before the current chaos we witnessed following the death of George Floyd, blacks committed 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crimes, despite only composing 23 percent of the population. Here is another statistic hiding in plain sight that doesn’t fit the secular homily proselytized by the corporate media, NPR, Democratic Party, and the “only” Black-Lives-Matter bigots. Black commit over 52% of all homicides despite only 13% of the population. We can also add this data to the loud silence emanating from our nation’s racism industry entrepreneurs. In 2015 nearly 6000 blacks were murdered by other blacks.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/smith-college-ex-staffer-sues-over-anti-white-racism-ideological-struggle-sessions_4168397.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Smith College administrative employee Jodi Shaw, a white woman, is suing the elite school in federal court for retaliation and racial discrimination including forced participation in humiliating ideological indoctrination sessions. David Pitvorak, who describes himself in his Twitter biography as an “individual rights attorney taking on Critical Race Theory in the courts,” is representing Shaw in the lawsuit. “We allege that Smith forced Shaw to undergo ritual racial humiliation and tasked her with implementing policies that racially segregated and discriminated against students,” Pitvorak tweeted. The 101-page lawsuit was filed Dec. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.)

IOL
— Is inheritance tax the answer to inequality? – Prenisha Govender
(COMMENT: Should everyone be required to disclose the biggest things that their parents did to help them succeed? My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) 1966-1968 while I took courses at UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)

DAILY HERALD
— AS FEWER AND FEWER AND FEWER MEN EARN COLLEGE DEGREES: Benedictine University program aims to help create diverse women leaders – Madhu Krishnamurthy
(COMMENT: Democrats use minority female leaders to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about what my minority female GAO superiors and supervisors did to get rid of me. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Before that, they gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair appraisals. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. Those who hired them forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— Biden’s H-1B Conundrum. The administration’s efforts to reform the visa program could put him at loggerheads with key factions of his own party. – RIKHA SHARMA RANI
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/12/19/biden-h-1b-visa-conundrum-524254
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I spoke with current and former H-1B holders, U.S. workers, union reps, academics, lobbyists, recruiters and immigration lawyers on both sides of the political spectrum. While they differed on the specifics, many said that the program is used not to fill labor shortages, as corporations insist, but to cut costs. Critics say that businesses regularly game the system to pay H-1B visa holders below market wages, both exploiting foreign workers and stacking the deck against American job seekers.)
