— Here’s how much your family needs to earn to have a stay-at-home parent. DD: In Illinois, it is $79,102/year. My mother was a stay-at-home parent. The belief was that because she never attended high school, her earning potential was very limited. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21 and my brother was 16. I had to work my way through college.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— New Data Exposes Illinois GOP Crisis: Millions of Republicans Aren’t Voting, Party Leaders to Blame. DD: Illinois Republicans see how Illinois Republican leaders have treated me and have treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000. I should write about those Illinois Republican leaders who have blamed conservatives like me, that is, who have blamed platform Republicans like me, for Republican losses in Illinois the most since 2000. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform ins conservative. Far too many Illinois Republican leaders fail/refuse to defend and advance far too many planks in that platform.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/12/new-data-exposes-illinois-gop-crisis-millions-of-republicans-arent-voting-party-leaders-to-blame.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New voter-participation data circulating among Illinois conservatives is highlighting what many now argue is the real and long-running crisis inside the Illinois Republican Party: collapsing enthusiasm, shrinking turnout, and a leadership class that has failed the base for more than two decades. Illinois has 12.5 million residents, with roughly 10 million old enough to vote. About 8 million are registered. Yet only 6 million typically vote in a presidential cycle, and just 4 million show up for midterms. According to attorney Tom DeVore, who has studied the numbers closely, the picture for Republicans is even worse. . .For twenty years, the Illinois GOP establishment has presided over shrinking maps, shrinking turnout, shrinking relevance, and a stunning refusal to engage real voters on real issues. “You can complain about the Democrats all day long, but at the end of the day they just want it more badly than Republicans,” DeVore said. “We have a voter-enthusiasm problem in Illinois Republican politics. The party sucks, so Republicans don’t vote.” He argues the problem is not Democrat strength — it’s Republican failure. “Republicans not voting allows bad Republican leaders to stay in office,” he said. “It’s a vicious circle that only a group of people with real courage and talent can resolve.” And while party insiders often bristle at criticism, DeVore says the truth is simple: “They want to blow smoke and tell you it’s the Democrats’ problem, when in reality it’s Republican leadership’s failures.” Democrats already dominate every level of state government, and without a significant shift in Republican engagement, 2026 would simply reinforce the trend. The emerging data shows a participation gap, not a population gap — and unless those millions of inactive Republican-leaning voters reenter the process, Illinois’ political landscape is likely to remain exactly where it has been for the past two decades.)

— The new American dream starts with a college search. Choose a school and degree that will make you a success. DD: Choosing the right major is just as important.

I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditing examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

They used/forced my Jewish IRS superiors to disallow my travel vouchers in 1974, to disallow my education expenses in 1978, and to not promote me beyond GS-12. They used/forced my Jewish GAO superiors to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980, to keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, to delay my promotions and to not promote me beyond GS-13, to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

ROLL CALL
— Congress must become a champion guard dog to defend its watchdog. A hostile executive branch could be in charge of the legislative branch’s investigations.

They have also ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed a) my earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) my earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) my becoming a licensed CPA. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present Republican a) federal candidates and elected officials and b) Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township party leaders.
https://rollcall.com/2025/12/08/congress-must-become-a-champion-guard-dog-to-defend-its-watchdog/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Dec. 29, the 15-year term of Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro will end, leaving the Government Accountability Office without a Senate-confirmed leader. The Trump administration has made no secret of its hostility toward GAO, and this creates a dangerous opening for the executive branch to undermine or even capture the agency that exists for one purpose: to help Congress do its job. The current president and his allies in Congress have publicly targeted GAO, recognizing that a weakened watchdog means weakened oversight of executive action. GAO support to Congress extends beyond any single administration. If GAO is captured or hollowed out, the damage will outlast the current presidency. Rebuilding independent investigative capacity takes decades. Losing it takes a moment of inattention. At stake is the legislative branch authority and responsibility set forth in Article I of the Constitution to oversee the executive branch. Congress must act immediately to protect GAO during the transition. This means forming a visible, bipartisan, bicameral coalition — backed by constitutional experts—to reject any executive interference with the legislative branch agency.  Any attempt by the current president to appoint, nominate, or direct GAO leadership should be challenged publicly and legally. The message must be unambiguous: GAO belongs to Congress. Most Americans have never heard of GAO. That’s by design. The agency operates as Congress’s nonpartisan, nonpolitical right hand — conducting audits, evaluations, and investigations that give legislators the facts they need to oversee federal programs and hold the executive branch accountable. GAO doesn’t make policy or substitute its judgment for Congress’s. It provides the independent, professional analysis that makes genuine oversight possible.)

LAW AND THE WORPKPLACE
— EEOC Issues Updated Guidance on National Origin Discrimination DD: I am 100% German national origin and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my employers would have hired noncitizens and/or non-German Americans instead of me if they could have. There are many negative German stereotypes. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans  I lived in Crete 1948-1972 when it was overwhelmingly German American and Lutheran. While I was a Firestone Store employee for more than 2 years and a federal employee for almost 30 years, many, most, and at times virtually all of my supervisors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had loved ones who were killed by Germans. In my defense, I stressed that while all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany, they all immigrated way back in 1840s and 1850s. I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI. I stressed that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. I stressed that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.
https://www.lawandtheworkplace.com/2025/12/eeoc-issues-updated-guidance-on-national-origin-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The EEOC has issued a one-page technical assistance document, “Discrimination Against American Workers Is Against the Law” and updated its national origin discrimination landing page, reinforcing national origin discrimination protections with a focus on immigration-related issues.  The latest guidance follows the EEOC’s previous 2016 Enforcement Guidance on National Origin Discrimination, which remains in effect. Title VII, which is enforced by the EEOC, prohibits employment discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and applies to most private employers with 15 or more employees. Under Title VII, discrimination based on national origin with respect to compensation and other terms and conditions of employment is unlawful, and employers are prohibited from limiting, segregating or classifying employees in a way that could deprive them of opportunities based on their national origin. The new technical assistance document defines national origin discrimination as “treating employees or applicants unfavorably or favorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background.” The landing page emphasizes that Title VII protects all workers, “including Americans,” and explains that national origin discrimination can include preferring foreign workers, including workers with certain visa statuses, over American workers.  It further highlights that discrimination can occur when the victim and the person engaging in the discrimination are of the same national origin.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The GOP Can’t Agree on a Healthcare Plan. Some Republicans Are Panicking. Senate is expected to vote this week on Democratic-backed measure to extend enhanced healthcare subsidies. DD: Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my healthcare insurance premiums. They have been even more furious ever since I got married I was 29 years old and the federal government started paying 72% of my wife’s healthcare insurance premiums. That 72% subsidy is a major reason why people despise/hate federal employees, federal retirees, and their spouses. That 72% subsidy helped me withstand tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors in the federal government to waste my career and to get rid of me.
