Ever-increasingly, it glorifies and praises those who have demographics that vote for Democrats and demonizes, denigrates, and condemns those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

— Calls for Joe Biden not to run raise an age-old question we all face eventually – Clarence Page (COMMENT: How old were you when you got your last promotion? For me, it was late 1986, when I was 38 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that I applied for that promotion to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, and they were more furious with the GAO manager who promoted me. He had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and he had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in early 1986. They were so furious that they forced him to retire in 1987. They threatened to punish me severely if I ever applied for a promotion again. That prompted me to become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in late 1988. Because of that, they threw me off audits of IRS and gave me a very bad job assignment, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal in 1989. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)

— Several Illinois schools listed in Wall Street Journal rankings of best Midwest colleges (COMMENT: From which college(s) did you earn your degree(s)? According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League colleges are worthless, that is, my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT are worthless. To provide just one example, a University of Chicago MBA holder who was my superior during my last 8 years at GAO and my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years specifically and overtly treated my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT was worthless. She headed the office’s group that audited federal financial industry regulators. I volunteered to work for her in 1990 because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. While I had master’s degrees in business and accounting, I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, and I was a licensed CPA, she stressed that I had taken relatively few courses in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening courses in finance at IIT in 1992, and after completing 16 courses, earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading IIT in 1997. Even though all the courses were directly job-related and I had gotten her appointed to serve on the program’s board of advisers, she treated those courses as being worthless. Further, in September of 1997, she took the lead in successfully forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. She would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. She would not have done aforesaid if I had not been the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Events celebrating Native American Heritage Month in the Chicago area (COMMENT: Because one of my coworkers was a Native American, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated him far better than they treated me even though he shared many of my bad demographics: male, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, CPA, in a traditional marriage, homeowner, non-poor, Protestant, DuPage County resident, and someone whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he was to the left of me, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had three, he had not taken, let alone passed, the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a licensed CPA or Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.)

— Gun Owners in Illinois Are Now Required to Register Assault Weapons. What Happens if They Don’t? – Amanda Vinicky (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrats will a) publish names and addresses of AR-15-style gun owners who have not registered and b) demand that States Attorneys arrest and charge those owners. What is your State’s Attorney’s position on this? In 1978, IRS officially stated that it audited my education deductions because of requests from readers of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me that painted my deductions as being improper.)
https://news.wttw.com/2023/11/07/gun-owners-illinois-are-now-required-register-assault-weapons-what-happens-if-they-don-t
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The law itself is specific about the penalties that could face gun owners who fail to file affidavits. Failure to file an endorsement affidavit is a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense. A second, or subsequent, violation of the registration requirement would be classified a Class 3 felony. As ISP puts it an FAQ web page, “persons who violate the endorsement affidavit requirements may be arrested and charged.” Note the “may.” In response to Halbrook’s question, ISP’s Suzanne Bond said that “it will be up to each individual state’s attorney in the 102 counties to decide how they will enforce that.” If a state’s attorney declines to prosecute, there may be no charges filed, no conviction, no penalty; if a state’s attorney decides to pursue charges, a gun owner could face prison time.)

— The CPA Exam: How to prepare for new 2024 requirements (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass it on their first attempt. I had been an IRS employee for almost 8 years. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I took the Becker CPA Review. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious because none of my coworkers who they had promoted over me had taken the examination, let alone passed it on their first attempt. All of those who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, and/or had less IRS work experience than I had. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

However, I saved far less for my retirement a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, d) because they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14, e) because they always ranked me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) because they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

My Civil Service Retirement System pension would be much greater. I would not have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999.

— ‘DINK’—double income, no kids—couples say being child-free makes them richer and more successful, even if it means putting up with judgement – ELEANOR PRINGLE (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that not only that we never wanted children and that we never tried to have children, but that I lied about trying to have children. They did that even though they had full access to my medical records and they knew all about my many insurance claims for fertility treatments including surgery at Central DuPage Hospital. To punish me because I had requested and gotten assignments to local audits while we were trying to have children, they threw me off audits of IRS in 1989 and assigned me to a 6-month out-of-state audit. All of them were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had adopted, and/or complained about the high cost of raising children. All of them were beyond furious that my wife had a good job and that we went on vacations after her four business trips each year to luxury resorts across America.)

https://nypost.com/2023/11/04/opinion/mike-johnson-must-advocate-for-a-truly-color-blind-culture/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congratulations, Speaker Johnson. You were elected by your caucus to push through legislation that would benefit the American people and lift the American spirit. And you should make one of your immediate priorities the passage of a long overdue update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that enshrines colorblindness as a core American value. The problem here is simple: Race relations in the US have taken a turn for the worse. Back in 2013, 70% of Americans viewed race relations positively; today, that figure has dropped to a worrisome 42%. What happened? Have Americans truly gotten more racist Not really. The real cause of this shift in sentiment is the well-developed, educrat-enforced narrative known as critical race theory (CRT) which insists that America is an inherently racist society. Indeed, DEI, CRT and woke ideologies implant not merely awareness — but resentful awareness — against America and Americans. Point of fact: our federal government has been the leader in propagating these divisive narratives through its own hiring practices and messaging. At a time when we are living with serious challenges ranging from MS-13 gang-members to Hamas in Gaza, Joe Biden called “white supremacy” the biggest terrorist threat to our nation during a graduation speech at Howard University this past spring. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris explicitly argued for racial preferences through “equity” in every aspect of American life. Liberals would say that minority Americans have become “more aware” of systematic racism and its structures; in other words, “woke.” But awareness doesn’t necessarily result in a spate of anger and division. All signs instead point to a well-funded — and coordinated — effort to promote such division through social-justice groups such as Black Lives Matter, whose 2020 protests resulted in $1-2 billion in property damage claims. Helping #BLM along is the multi-billion DEI industry, which enriched itself from white guilt while producing little in the way of unity or even results. Congress has the power to at least put a damper to this madness via a much-needed update to one of the most important civil rights laws of our time. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly prevents the state from discriminating based on race. Read at face value, it appears to uphold a critical American principle – equal treatment for all, regardless of skin color. It is supposed to create a more unified society with greater trust and social cohesion. However, over the past 50 years, progressives have twisted the Act’s language to divisive and harmful ends. They’ve helped expand the number and scale of discrimination lawsuits, arguing that the mere existence of disparate outcomes means that discrimination must exist. This has created a bitter, litigious legal environment where everyone is able to accuse each other of racism simply for, say, not hiring enough minorities. Companies scramble to look non-racist by rushing to hire minorities — regardless of qualifications — for fear of lawsuits, harming meritocracy and stoking employee resentment. The purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should be to establish a more colorblind society where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. The Left has severely drifted from that purpose. They have opted to label color blindness as an evil, while guilt-tripping white Americans into viewing minorities as helpless victims. And this ultimately benefits no one. Worse yet, the Left regularly pushes non-discrimination to the opposite extreme – ignoring colorblindness for the sake of blatant reverse racism. For years, I fought against discrimination against Asian Americans at Harvard University – discrimination that occurred, in part, because Harvard wanted to admit members of other minority groups despite their lower grades and standardized testing scores. We took our case all the way to the Supreme Court where we prevailed early this year and ended race-based admissions at America’s elite higher learning institutions. But our work is far from done, and we still need stronger enforcement mechanisms from Congress to hold universities accountable to the Court’s decision. An update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would do just that by explicitly stating that it cannot guarantee equal outcomes. It would need to say that discrimination of all forms is wrong, even if the race being discriminated against is white or Asian. It would drop all racial quotas and preferences from government hiring and contracting, as these quotas only serve to feed the victimhood industry. Such an act would not ignore the reality of race. Speaker Johnson, you are the de facto adoptive father of an African-American child. You said that “it’s a reality” that your African-American child faces greater obstacles than your other children. This may be true. But you also rejected the idea that “institutional racism” is the sole cause here, citing his family upbringing, and you explicitly said that “socialism is a dead end” towards solving this and other social ills. Speaker Johnson, a National Colorblindness Amendment would reject racial socialism while encouraging Americans to look at your son and every human far beyond just his skin color. At the same time, your Congress can tackle many of the core issues holding minorities back, namely the decline of the traditional family structure and failure of our education system. Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker: America needs healing — and a National Colorblindness Amendment can help that healing begin. )

https://amac.us/newsline/elections/six-questions-gop-candidates-should-ask-nbc-moderators-at-this-weeks-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before I answer your question, Mr. Holt, let me ask a question of you. What do you and your network’s corporate leadership say to the millions of voters watching this debate who believe that NBC is a singularly left-wing organization committed to advancing the agenda of the Democrat Party and progressive activist class while turning virtually every political story into an attack on Republican candidates or conservative views? What do you say to conservatives who view you as far more powerful than the Democrat Party and think of you as the real opposition party?)

DES MOINES REGISTER
— Test politicians, and surgeons, for competency. That’s better than age limits. A law requiring mandatory physical and mental testing of the president and members of Congress past a certain age would not be age discrimination, per se. – Greg Ganske (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans. Up-or-out is age discrimination per se. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be promoted to GS-13. However, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, f) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and g) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. While my Democrat GAO superiors did promote me to GS-13 in 1986, they nevertheless forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I had not made GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, or Senior Executive Service by age 40. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors enforced up-or-out only for their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 1995, I sat in the House of Representatives listening to 70-year-old Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican, give a remarkable speech against term limits. Hyde, a giant of a man at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, with a shock of white hair, still moved with grace from his Georgetown basketball days. In the 1943 NCAA semifinals, he outplayed DePaul’s 6-foot-10 All-American George Mikan. Hyde argued that multiple terms help elected officials gain institutional knowledge and build relationships needed to be effective in passing legislation. The C-SPAN cameras caught me listening on the floor of the House with a bemused look when he said, “When the dentist bends down over you with the drill whirring, don’t you hope he has done that before? When the neurosurgeon has shaved your head and made the pencil mark on your skull where they’re going to have the incision and he approaches with the electric saw, ask him one question: ‘Are you a careerist?’” Laughter filled the chamber. . .Henry Hyde would say, “just vote the mentally incompetent out!” But this is easier said than done as evidenced by aged politicians who get reelected time and again in safe districts or heavily red or blue states. The voters should at least know if elderly candidates have passed minimal physical and mental competency tests. Hyde died of complications from open heart surgery at the age of 81. His surgeon was probably one of the best, but I wonder if, as his heart surgeon approached with the scalpel, he would have been better served by asking, “Have you passed your competency tests?” instead of, “Are you a careerist?”)

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-kinzinger-still-republican_n_6540e179e4b032ae1c9c986d
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he still considers himself a Republican, but only because “I don’t want to give up on that fight.” He told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, “This country needs two healthy parties: a healthy Democratic party and a healthy Republican. So I’m not going to give up that title.” He said he had voted Democratic in the 2022 midterms and would do the same in 2024 if it’s a Donald Trump-Joe Biden matchup. “I really believe it’s down to one issue on the ballot,” he said. “Not taxes, not even abortion, nothing. The one issue is: Do you believe in democracy, or do you believe in authoritarianism?” Kinzinger told the Washington Post last year that he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but he felt “dirty” doing it, and “it’s not something I can square away in my soul fully.” Kinzinger was one of the most prominent critics of the former president in the House Republican conference before he retired from Congress earlier this year. He was one of two Republicans who served on the Jan. 6 committee, and one of ten who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the insurrection. “There’s little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use,” Kinzinger said in 2021 when he announced he would not run for reelection. “It has also become increasingly obvious that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide.”)

Many have traded freedom for illusionary security, free will for promise of more “free” stuff to come.)
— Republican Disarray on the House Speakership Nothing New – Bill Hansmann (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. For more than any one person, GAO works for the Speaker of the House. Democrat Tip O’Neill was the Speaker while I worked for GAO 1980-1987, Democrat Jim Wright 1987-1989, Democrat Tom Foley 1989-1995, and Republican Newt Gingrich 1995-1997. While O’Neill was Speaker, GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and delayed my promotions to GS-12 and GS-13. While Wright was Speaker, GAO threw me off audits of IRS. While Foley and was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. While Gingrich was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old; my Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious that Gingrich dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1995-1997. Gingrich was the Speaker while my lawsuit against GAO was pending 1998-1999 and Republican Dennis Hastert 1999-2005. My critics/opponents have always used against me that neither Gingrich nor Hastert ever came to my defense. Further, my critics/opponents have used against me that since 1980, with one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Representatives and my Republican U.S. Senators have never come to my defense.)

They stress the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me.)
