LANSING JOURNAL
— Thornton Township election preview: Tuesday is Caucus Day; candidates so far (COMMENT: It would be great if all township governments would issue press releases that would provide such detail.)
https://thelansingjournal.com/2024/12/02/thornton-township-election-preview-tuesday-is-caucus-day-candidates-so-far/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for what could be the most contested Thornton Township election in recent history, major political parties will each hold a caucus Tuesday, Dec. 3, to select candidates for supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner, and four trustee seats. Voters will go to the polls on April 1, 2025, to make their selections in the Consolidated Election, and the caucuses determine which candidates they will see on their ballots. A source familiar with Thornton Township politics said these are the first caucuses held in many years. . .Residents of Thornton Township may participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party caucuses, nominating a candidate and voting on their party’s nominees. By participating in the caucus, a resident is becoming affiliated with that political party. Caucus proceedings When entering the caucus room, participants will be asked to sign an affidavit stating they are registered to vote in Thornton Township and are affiliated with the established political party conducting the caucus — that they are a registered Democrat or registered Republican. The chair of the proceedings will call the caucus to order. They will introduce the caucus judges of election and announce the offices for which nominees will be selected. Then the chair calls for nominations, which can come from anyone in the caucus. The procedure continues until there are no more nominations. Participants then vote on their preferred nominees. The highest vote-getters in each race are selected as the nominee. Independent and other candidates Candidates running under non-major political parties have already filed their candidacy for Thornton Township, and do not participate in the caucus process. Four Independent Party candidates are looking to unseat Henyard: Nate Fields Jr., LaShunte’ Lollis-Walton, Stafford Owens, and Sidney Moore. Harvey Mayor Chris Clark is also a candidate for supervisor, leading a Reform Thornton Township Party ticket that includes four candidates for trustee: Harvey city administrator Corean Davis, Harvey fifth ward alderperson Dominique Randle-El, Rachel Jones, and Jacinta J. Gholston. Also running for trustee are Democrat Mary Ann Thornton and Independent Felesa Melvin. Running for highway commissioner is Independent Kenny Williams. The township Clerk’s office reported no filings for clerk or assessor. It is not clear whether other incumbents on the Thornton Township Board of Trustees, all Democrats, are seeking nominations to retain their seats.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2024/11/30/former-lauzen-employee-slams-his-expertise-treatment-of-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an email, Lauzen wrote that he fired Cain on Friday, Nov. 22. “It is now obvious to me that I made a mistake when I hired her,” Lauzen’s email stated. When there were concerns about her work, he said, he gave her a written six-month performance improvement plan. . .In his email, Lauzen denied saying he had “given up” on her, spoke to her with contempt, and justified that he wanted her log in ID and password because he is “ultimately responsible for everything that occurs in the Treasurer’s Office, both good and bad, I need to know what is going on around me.” As to his lack of computer skills, Lauzen said he depends on his staff and the IT department to assist. “There is no conceit on my part that my data processing skills are in any way exemplary,” Lauzen wrote. “I’m not shy to ask for help.” Lauzen also wrote that the Treasurer’s Office does not have to follow Government Accounting Standard Board rules regarding revenue. It also does not have statutory responsibility or authority to produce or present the county’s financial statements. “The Accounting Department does. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the applicability of any GASB regulations,” Lauzen wrote.)

THE HILL
— Redefining diversity in Trump’s second administration (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5012229-trump-dei-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory signals a turning point for our nation. As America grapples with the consequences of unchecked diversity, equity and inclusion or DEI policies, the second Trump administration has a clear mandate to restore fairness and meritocracy in employment law. . .At its core, DEI as currently practiced is antithetical to the principles of fairness and equality. Instead of leveling the playing field, it tilts it steeply in favor of select groups, creating a workplace culture where hiring and promotions are often dictated by identity rather than merit. DEI practices, though often cloaked in the language of equity, are nothing more than reverse discrimination, punishing individuals for their race or gender while undermining the very concept of merit-based achievement. . .Second, Trump can promote merit-based hiring and advancement. Meritocracy is the cornerstone of a thriving economy. Employment decisions should be based on skills, qualifications and performance — not identity. The Trump administration must make it clear that federally regulated industries and contractors will face penalties for using quotas or “diversity scorecards” as hiring criteria. Transparency in hiring and promotion processes should also be mandated to ensure fairness. . .America’s workplaces must remain places of opportunity and collaboration, not battlegrounds for ideological warfare. DEI, as it currently stands, has created an environment of division, resentment and legal uncertainty. By focusing on merit, fairness and individual rights, the Trump administration can undo the damage wrought by years of identity politics and restore a culture of excellence and mutual respect.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory (COMMENT: If American Presidents had been like Trump when I was young, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old years old notwithstanding a) my not earning an MBA until I was 27, b) my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, c) my not earning a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, and d) my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination and becoming a licensed CPA util I was 32.)

— Newly improved FAFSA student aid application released following last year’s technical woes (COMMENT: Did you apply for financial aid? I did not because my father earned too much money – $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Did you apply for an academic scholarship? I did not because my ACT score was only 24 and I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Instead, I washed dishes part-time for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights at $12.41/hour in today’s dollars and saved all the money that I could to pay for my college expenses at UIC and for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to commute to/from classes and parents’ home in Crete. Things got better financially when I started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office in November of 1966 at $18.99/hour in today’s dollars. But my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the hours that I could delivering mail.)

— Trump wants to cut federal employees. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO for almost 18 years, IRS almost 9 years, and the Post Office almost 3 years. I was always on my Democrat superiors’ lists of employees who they wanted cut. I was able to survive that long because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 29, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen

— How thankful are you? According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records.

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— How to Be More Thankful (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. They have always attributed all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take many big adverse actions against me. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money and bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, and got them jobs.)

His firm analyzed more than 16,000 references from Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and 40 key advisers to identify the top influencers who make up this pro-Trump network. Baron’s firm then separated them into three groups of influencers—amplifiers, specialists, and mavericks—who are categorically anti-establishment. He spoke with The Daily Signal about his firm’s groundbreaking research and how these powerful influencers will shape campaigns and policymaking in the future.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
— What Trump’s Win Means For Labor And Employment Law (COMMENT: How has EEOC impacted you? When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)
https://chiefexecutive.net/what-trumps-win-means-for-labor-and-employment-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump will likely tap current EEOC commissioner Andrea Lucas to serve as chair. As with the NLRB, however, Lucas will find herself outnumbered by Democratic members on the Commission, three to one – a situation that will likely continue for some time. Upon attaining a Republican majority, the Commission may seek to roll back the collection of workplace demographic data and limit the agency’s interpretation of Title VII regarding protection for LGBTQ+ workers. An EEOC under Trump likely will also take a narrower view of what’s permissible under DEI initiatives.)

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/questions-and-answers-enforcement-guidance-retaliation-and-related-issues
(FROM THE POSTING: What if the employer claims its challenged action was not motivated by retaliation? In many cases, an employer will present a non-retaliatory reason for the challenged action. The employer may assert that it acted for a legitimate and unrelated reason such as poor job performance, misconduct, or the individual’s lack of qualifications for the job. An employee may respond to these assertions by providing evidence that the employer’s explanation is actually a pretext for retaliation. If an employer’s explanation is shown to be false, a factfinder may infer retaliation.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your critics/opponents loyal to? My Democrat superiors in the federal government were blindly loyal to the Democrat Party platform. They did everything that they could to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors had been in America for a long time. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government. While I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I nevertheless carried out their direct orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, disabled, unmarried, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. But because that was not good enough for them, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about my subordinates and the preference that I gave them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do your critics/opponents frame you, that is, defame you? Mine stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. to defame me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? Mine do the following now or will do the following when the “come out” in the future: promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How vulnerable are you? According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, the more of the following that you are, the more vulnerable that you are: liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is Trump’s position on GAO? GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. During that time, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Will Trump end Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeism, that is, will Trump end race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? If he does, it will have a tremendous impact on the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Far too many leaders of the aforesaid reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

People do not view federal employees and retirees favorably. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal employees as being overpaid, lazy, incompetent, inefficient, unmotivated, overly bureaucratic, and slow and as being so bad that they cannot get a job in the private sector. The aforesaid negative stereotyping constructively rendered my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license worthless. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal retirees as people whose retirement benefits are far too generous. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

KORN FERRY
— Why Getting Promoted Is Getting Tougher (COMMENT: From what see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the following that you are, the tougher it is to get promoted: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. The following helped me get promoted in 1972 (when I was 23 years old), 1973, 1974, and 1986. I completed graduate evening business courses starting in 1972 and earned an MBA in 1976. I completed graduate evening accounting courses starting in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— More young men are struggling financially. Here’s how that helped Trump win. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, the future for young men is ever-increasingly bleak. I once was a young man. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. The aforesaid Democrats promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They erroneously anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat. But if I was a young man today, the aforesaid Democrats would not hire or promote me today because they are under even more pressure from Democrat leaders to hire and promote Democrat females. All my female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)

I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3237318/trump-steps-up-battle-media-kill-press-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Her group had already issued a statement the morning after the election, criticizing Trump for “wanton attacks on journalists” and warning that his second administration could be a turning point for media freedom in the United States. Whether wanton or not, Trump has famously feuded with the press since his political career began eight years ago. He’s dubbed the media “fake news” and “the enemy of the people” while leading chants against reporters during his many political rallies. However, Trump arguably raised the temperature higher than ever this year. He made a dark joke earlier this month that a possible assassin would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.)
NEW YORK POST
— Critics of President-elect Trump’s plan to enlist the military to help deport illegal immigrants claim it will violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But that might not be the case. The 146-year-old PCA says that “except [as] expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress,” whoever “willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus … to execute the laws shall be fined … or imprisoned.”

I would focus on those whose parents had the most money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. They never had to compete against illegals for bad jobs. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. The bad jobs I had enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970.)

I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who punished me the most because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. They all had children and spouses who had little or no income. They all decried the time and money that it cost to raise children. They all had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. They all hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— What a National School Choice Program Under President Trump Might Look Like. His pick for education secretary has spoken favorably of school choice for years, and there’s more GOP support for it than ever. (COMMENT: My parents sent me to Missouri Synod Lutheran Grade Schools and that had a tremendous impact on me. That put me on a track to take college preparatory courses in high school, to get an ACT score of 24, to graduate in the upper 20% of my class, to earn a bachelor’s degree, to earn three master’s degrees, to earn six professional certifications, to earn a professional license, etc. But my parents had less money because they sent my brother and me to Missouri Synod Lutheran Grade Schools. I had to work my way through college.)

Chicago posted its lowest voter turnout for a presidential election in nearly three decades as tens of thousands of Democrats stayed home. (COMMENT: What was the turnout in your precinct? There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot.

My critics/opponents reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Given that the federal government has always been run by Democrats who hate Republicans, one could ask why did I became a federal employee. I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 because I needed money to pay for my college expenses. I had taken and passed the postal employment examination because my high school friend had suggested that I join him in doing that. I became an IRS employee in 1971 because I needed a job. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination as a fallback if I could not get a good job in the automotive industry. I needed a job because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died. My Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile had withdrawn that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I became a GAO employee in 1980 because of GAO’s mission and because of its claimed nonpartisanship. I had recently earned an MBA from Loyola and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Once you become a federal employee, it is almost impossible to get a good job in the private sector.

— An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs. (COMMENT: IRS has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They never promoted me beyond GS-12. GAO has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept off audits of IRS except for 3 years, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat.)

I should write a book about my critic/opponents. Of course, I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. Better yet, I should sue them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Calling others names they do not deserve stems from insecurities, displaced aggression, or the need to dominate and/or control a partner/friend/coworker/etc. Those who do not have much ego strength build themselves up by tearing down innocent others. It’s a maladaptive pattern that could stem from learned behavior—that is, witnessing others do this in childhood. It may also arise from unresolved emotional issues.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20241113/news/candidates-line-up-for-naperville-wheaton-school-board-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: District 200 Six people — including three incumbents — already have declared their candidacies for four board seats up for election next year. Board President Rob Hanlon as well as sitting board members Angela Blatner and John Rutledge are running again. The other candidates are Katy Ebbesen, Brooke Gennaro and Amy Erkenswick. Last year, Erkenswick ran in a high-profile race with a slate of school board challengers who argued parents ought to have a greater say over their children’s education, who raised objections to graphic content in school libraries and who had green campaign signs. Erkenswick finished just 33 votes shy of winning a seat on the board. Rutledge, a former Wheaton city councilman, bested one of the slate members to secure a 2-year board position. Hanlon was first elected to the board in 2017. “Since the referendum passed, I want to see that work through,” said Hanlon, referring to voters’ approval of a plan to issue $151.5 million in bonds for significant upgrades to Edison, Franklin and Monroe middle schools. Noting the number of candidates, Hanlon said he expects “it’ll be a healthy debate.” “I think when you have more candidates involved, who are focused on kids, you have a better election, and the community benefits and the students benefit,” Hanlon said.)

— The last time that Illinois voted red in a presidential election was 1988. Politics and government are nasty and vicious. What were you doing in 1988? I was one of an extremely few Republicans working for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that George HW Bush won. They took their anger out on me. They threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me an extremely bad job assignment, they turned my subordinates against me, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an extremely unfair performance appraisal, they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they made it clear that they never assign me to audits of IRS again. Yes, there were other factors at play. I had just become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about the aforesaid and its aftermath.

They all had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.
