— Marijuana drug tests in the workplace could someday follow same standard as DUI – Robert McCoppin (COMMENT: If you use pot, you impair yourself. If I had been a pot user, a) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, b) IRS would not have hired me in 1971, and c) GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had been a pot user, I doubt that a) I would have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class or got a 24 on the ACT in 1966, b) UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, or IIT would have accepted me in 1966, 1969, 1972, 1976, and 1992 respectively, c) I would have graduated from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, or IIT in 1970, 1976, 1980, or 1997 respectively, d) I would have passed the CPA examination in 1979, let alone on my first attempt, or e) I would have passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, let alone on my first attempt.)

Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously used the following against me: a) I sought and got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and b) I sought and got a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes especially shouted the aforesaid at my many Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were veterans.)

— These Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employee MBAs – SYDNEY LAKE (DIERSEN: During the 1970s, IRS encouraged its Revenue Officers to take graduate courses in business and accounting, but IRS did not pay for those courses. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980. I took graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980 and deducted what I paid for tuition and books. In 1978, disgustingly and outrageously, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those deductions. They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

WYO FILE
— Conservative group seeks to rid Wyo GOP of ‘RINOs’ – Laton McCartney (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Most commonly, RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too often, RINOs promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, wokeism, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, etc.), and/or age discrimination. I should write a book about RINOs. I would focus on RINOs who destroy a) those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) those like me who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) those like me who refuse to pander to them, d) those like me who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) those like me who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) those like me who refuse to give them money.)

PARADE
— Lights, Camera, Crime and Comedy! The 8 Most Memorable TV Shows From 1971 – Mara Reinstein (COMMENT: What did you do in 1971? I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. I started the year working as the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, taking a graduate business management course at UIC, and awaiting a decision on my application for a financial hardship draft deferment. That application was approved, and because of my draft lottery number, I was no longer subject to the draft. I believe that prompted Oldsmobile to offer me a job which I accepted. But when I told my Firestone boss, he immediately and rudely fired me. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $48,445/year) Revenue Officer in Chicago. But then, my Firestone boss offered me a part-time job pumping gasoline which I accepted. Before I started working for IRS and working part-time for Firestone, I went on a spring break vacation in the Bahamas. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in August. That directly resulted in my buying a new 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevy Bel Air for everyday use. At the end of the year, IRS granted my request to be assigned to its Harvey office.)
