— See the articles below concerning Trump making Matthew Lohmeier an Air Force Under Secretary. Like Lohmeie, I fought Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI in the federal government. Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used AA and DEI to make the federal government a hostile work environment for Republicans, to waste the careers of Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. If Republican Presidents, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Representatives had stopped AA and DEI in the federal government, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Further, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions, and c) disallow my travel vouchers. Further, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have been able to a) force me to resign and b) disallow my sick leave requests.

— Virtually all, if not all, GAO employees are Democrats. GAO falsely claims to be non-partisan. I should write a book about that. I would use how the Democrats who run GAO treated me as an example. If I had been a Democrat, they would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have kept me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would not have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. They would not have wasted what I learned earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.

They would not have wasted what I learned to become a licensed CPA.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Getting retroactive Social Security benefit payments. Because of the repeal of GPO and WEP, my Social Security increased from about $3,000/year to about $6,000/year. Also, I got about $3,200 in backpay. Further, because the repeal, I am now eligible to claim 50% of my wife’s Social Security, but I will only get 43% because I took Social Security when I was 62.
https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/the-savings-game-getting-retroactive-social-security-benefit-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q. I receive a significant pension from work I have done outside of Social Security. I have not worked enough hours under Social Security to receive a benefit based on my work record. My spouse is retired and receives a generous Social Security benefit. A few years ago, I contacted Social Security and asked if I was eligible for a spousal benefit. I was informed that because two-thirds of my pension exceeded the spousal benefit I would otherwise be entitled to, that I shouldn’t even apply for a spousal benefit because of the regulations related to the Government Pension Offset (GPO). So I did not apply. When the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and GPO were repealed at the end of 2024, I filed for a spousal benefit because I was told that the two-thirds reduction was no longer in effect. After I applied, I was told that because I never applied for a spousal benefit prior to the repeal of GPO, I was not eligible for retroactive payments. I am now receiving a spousal benefit, but why am I not entitled to retroactive payments? A: More than one reader has written to complain about this situation. There is no logical reason why you should not be entitled to retroactive benefit payments. Many individuals who are now receiving a spousal benefit for the first time because of the repeal of GPO also receive six months of retroactive benefit payments.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250726/news/illinois-adding-more-electric-vehicles-than-ever-before-but-not-enough-to-meet-goal-of-1-million-by/

Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .As part of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of a new electric vehicle ends Sept. 30. The $4,000 tax credit for purchasing a used electric vehicle is going away as well. . .Walton said the goal of rebates was to help lower prices for electric vehicles, which has occurred. New entry-level EVs run about $30,000, he said. The average price for any new car in the U.S. is about $50,000. Illinois charges electric vehicle owners an additional $100 per vehicle as part of the annual registration fees. The fee is intended to cover the loss of motor fuel tax revenues that go to pay for road construction and repairs statewide.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to government, there are few things more unattractive than nakedly partisan power politics, as reflected by a ruthless process called gerrymandering. Too many people don’t understand the concept, but it’s as simple as it is basic. Gerrymandering is the drawing of legislative district boundary lines — both state and federal — to give one political party an advantage over the other on Election Day. The typical tactics used are called “packing” — diluting the minority party’s strength by placing most of its voters into a few select districts — and “cracking” — splitting up a geographically compact group across multiple districts in order to reduce their electoral influence. Presto, chango, legislative elections are won and lost before a single vote has been cast. In Illinois, Democrats have gerrymandered state and federal districts to give themselves a super-majority in the state House and Senate and 14 of 17 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the Texas Legislature plans to redraw congressional maps in an effort to increase Republican members in the U.S. House, the governors of California and Illinois may devise their own new borders. . .As the most populous state in the nation, California has 43 Democratic members of the house and nine Republican members, while Illinois is represented by 14 Democrats and three Republicans. “Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said. The Illinois governor said he doesn’t want to redraw the maps but “if they’re going to take this drastic action, then we might also take drastic action to respond.” “We want the country to understand [that] what’s going on in Texas is a national battle,” State Rep. Richard Pena Raymond, a Democrat from Laredo, said. Raymond told Pritzker that redistricting is “clearly aimed at affecting the entire country.” Responsibility for determining Congressional district maps differs from state to state. In California, an independent commission approved by voters in 2010 works on the maps. Illinois maps, on the other hand, are put together by the state lawmakers have been drawn strongly to favor the Democrat Party in the state.)

— U.S. Postal Service to celebrate 250th anniversary. What to know about its past, possible future. I worked for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and then NIU in 1969. My salary enabled me a) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and c) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger. In today’s dollars, my salary was $19.37/hour 1966-1967, $20,02/hour 1967-1968, and $20.67/hour 1968-1969. I earned Social Security credits and full-time Civil Service Retirement System credits 1966-1969. My critics/opponents have always been furious about the aforesaid.

They have always been furious a) that my wife has always had good jobs, b) that we could and did always spent like we had only one income, and c) that we gave up trying to have children. I should write about my critics/opponents.

All my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were partisan, and virtually all of them were extremely so. They talked and acted like the federal government existed to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more mass/illegal immigration; Democrat leaders, because immigrants vote for Democrats, RINO leaders, because immigrants take bad jobs and work for less money. If there were as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, I would not have been able to get the bad jobs that I got, and if not that, my wages would have been lower. Those bad jobs enabled me to a) buy a 6-year-old car when I was 16, b) buy a new cars when I 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, d) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, e) earn professional certifications when I was 30 and 32, and f) earn a professional license when I was 32.

— Is Decapitation a Job Americans Won’t Do?
https://prescottenews.com/2025/07/27/opinion-is-decapitation-a-job-americans-wont-do-ann-coulter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oh look, another American’s been beheaded by a Mexican. This week’s beheader is Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, an illegal alien who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, decapitated 37-year-old Megan Bos, then stashed her body in a bleach storage container. Arrested for the crime in April, Mendoza-Gonzalez was promptly released from custody by Illinois judge Randie Bruno, who is the same physical type — chubby, short-haired, white woman — as the Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal sneak out of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents. Illinois: sanctuary state for Mexican decapitators. Because they’re not busy enough rounding up the 20 million pillars of society Joe Biden allowed to sneak into America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to devote time and resources this week to recapturing Mendoza-Gonzalez. Otherwise, you never would have heard about it, and liberals could keep pretending not to know that Mexican drug cartels decapitate people.)

— How is Trump Changing DOJ? I should write about DOJ while it was under Bush 2001-2009. While it was under Bush, it sided with the Democrats who ran GAO big time. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf That is, it promoted Affirmative Action and DEI big time. That is, it promoted the following big time: race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

Because my parents lacked money, I had to take bad jobs. I did yard work for 2 summers. I delivered newspapers for 4 years. I washed dishes for 18 months.

My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

In any event, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able a) to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) to delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) to keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) to force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Because I was one of GAO’s few remaining Republican employees, my Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich GAO budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that.

If I had gotten a student loan, I would have gotten better paying jobs because my GPA would have been higher. I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying. Nevertheless, a) I graduated debt-free from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE and b) I earned enough money to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, pay for graduate evening business courses 1972-1976, buy a new town home University Park in 1972, buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, pay for graduate evening accounting courses 1976-1980, get married and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, etc.

CHICAGO DEFENDER
— I did not even try to get a student loan. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. But because I worked my way through college, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.
https://chicagocrusader.com/unsettling-accounts-illinois-confronting-growing-student-loan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With $49,000 in student loan debt, Josue Villalpando figured becoming a homeowner was a long way off. “The thought of purchasing a home was definitely floating around, however I never actually looked into it knowing that I had such a big burden with my student loans,” he said. A recent graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago, Villalpando, 29, took out private loans to pay for college. Unlike federal student loans, private loans typically have higher interest rates and fewer forgiveness programs, making them harder for borrowers to pay off. Then, his fiancé came across the SmartBuy program – an initiative set up by the state to help incentivize residents to purchase a home while paying off their student loan debt, one of the leading factors delaying homeownership among young adults. SmartBuy pays up to $40,000 in student loans and contributes up to $5,000 towards a down payment or closing costs at the time of purchase.)

Lee’s Restoring Equal Opportunity Act seeks to remove “disparate impact” on minorities in civil rights law, putting equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. According to my critics/opponents, when those who have demographics that vote for Republicans do better than those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, it because Republicans discriminate against Democrats. I should write about my critics/opponents.

https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/gop-pushes-for-policy-fix-to-border-crisis-non-governmental-organizations-faith-illegal-immigration-biden-administration-grants-work-facilitate-republicans
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a fiery House Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday, Republicans accused non-governmental organizations– many of which were faith-based groups– of incentivizing illegal immigration during the Biden administration by providing services or support to migrants, even though many of the same Republicans voted to fund grants that helped facilitate their work. During the hearing titled “An Inside Job: How NGOs Facilitated the Biden Border Crisis,” Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., accused many of the NGOs of acting as a “launching pad for mass illegal immigration.” “FEMA provided grants to numerous NGOs, many of whom were operating at the southwest border,” Guest said. “These groups spent billions of taxpayers’ dollars.”)

CHALKBEAT
— Illinois graduates who earn college degrees make more money, but racial disparities persist. To address “racial disparities,” my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me retire when I was 49 years old. They gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had. The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025/07/16/illinois-high-school-graduates-with-college-degrees-earn-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report found that students from low-income households were less likely to obtain bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, or professional licenses than their peers from higher-income households. The report also found that the state’s high school students whose parents were among the highest earners went on to earn about 48% more than those whose parents were in the lowest-earning group. Among those who came from the same socioeconomic background, Black and Latino students earned less than Asian American and white students, the report found. Students in the study’s sample from low-income families were underrepresented in high-paying careers such as computer information sciences and engineering. Most students took jobs in accommodations and food services. Regardless of whether students had the same levels of education, degrees from the same type of program, or worked in the same industry, students from high-income households earned more than their peers who came from low-income households. On average, the gap in earnings between students from high-income households and low-income households was $5,815 even if they had the same degree.)

FED SMITH
— Secrets Behind the Growing Number of Thrift Savings Plan Millionaires. TSP millionaires grew 500% in 5+ years.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/07/11/secrets-behind-the-growing-number-of-tsp-millionaires/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) provides a path to a secure retirement for federal employees. While the defined annuity under FERS is a very valuable benefit often not available to most Americans, the Thrift Savings Plan may provide the difference between a minimal retirement or one that provides many more options to enjoy your later years in life. While the argument is often made that salaries in the private sector are higher, the federal workforce has at its fingertips a way to accumulate wealth that provides a substantial retirement income—at least for those with the knowledge and discipline to take maximum advantage of this program. Here are some TSP statistics that every federal employee should keep in mind—especially those who are still relatively new to the federal workforce. In March 2020, there were 27,212 TSP millionaires, which grew to 171,023 by June 2025. This is a growth of over 500% in the number of millionaires in just over five years. The largest quarterly increase in TSP millionaires occurred between March 2020 and June 2020, with the number rising from 27,212 to 45,219 — an increase of 66%. Another significant increase was between December 2020 and March 2021, where the number of millionaires grew from 75,420 to 84,808. The number of TSP millionaires is now at its highest point, with 171,023 participant millionaires as of the end of June 2025. The average years of contributions for TSP millionaires have remained stable over the last five years, hovering around 28 years. This indicates a strong correlation between long-term contributions and achieving millionaire status in the TSP.)

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 cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

— Republicans lining up against Pritzker
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/14/republicans-lining-up-against-pritzker-00450761
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A few Republicans are looking to get in the ring. Ted Dabrowski and Aaron Del Mar are testing the waters, speaking with GOP insiders and potential donors about mounting campaigns. They would face DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who’s already jumped in, and Joseph Severino who’s posted in social media that he’s running, too. Darren Bailey, who challenged Pritzker in 2024, hasn’t made any decisions yet about 2026. Jeanne Ives, who ran in 2018, says she’s not running. And though state Rep. Dan Ugaste and Posen Park District Supervisor Phil Perez toyed with the idea, neither will run for governor in 2026. Mendrick, a law-and-order candidate, has raised just $127,000 since he announced in February, according to filings with the state. Dabrowski and Del Mar, who are better known around the state for their work in policy and politics, would likely have an easier time raising funds. Del Mar is recognized in party circles across the state as he’s a former co-chair of the Illinois GOP and current Cook County Republican chair who ran as lieutenant governor alongside Gary Rabine in 2022. Dabrowski is president of Wirepoints Corp., the conservative-leaning media company. While he lacks campaign experience, he’s a former banking executive and policy wonk whose fiscal message could resonate at a time of economic uncertainty. Severino has made two unsuccessful bids for Congress, first as a Republican and then as an Independent. Along with the money challenge, messaging will be an issue for GOP candidates as Pritzker and his Democratic Party will blame Republicans and President Donald Trump for the megabill that’s giving tax breaks to the wealthy and cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs. . .Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a fundraiser in Barrington the other day at the home of Rick and Alisa Heidner. Among the attendees were Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, political strategist Brett Corrigan, businessman and 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, possible 2026 gubernatorial candidate Aaron Del Mar, Illinois National Republican Committee member Dean White, former Chicago GOP Chair Eloise Gerson and McHenry County Clerk Joe Tirio.)

— Trump says Powell should resign immediately from Federal Reserve leadership position over economic missteps. My Democrat superiors in the federal government wanted me to resign because I refused to become a Democrat. Because I refused to become a Democrat, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me. My RINO leaders in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party want me to become a RINO. Because I refuse to become a RINO, they ever-increasingly take more and bigger adverse actions against me.

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrat and RINO leaders crow about their success in flooding the University of Illinois with foreign students. UIC accepted me when I was 17, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43. But they all would have accepted foreign students instead of me if they could have.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Cleared to Lay Off Workers, Some Federal Agencies Find Many Already Left. Thousands of workers in government jobs have taken buyouts or retired early. Many say morale is low. Ever-increasingly, after I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 year old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors made I ever-increasingly clear that they wanted to get rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. Nevertheless, to thwart their ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me, a) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. However, that was not enough. They succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

— The Federal Government Is Retreating From Student Lending. Did you get a student loan? I did not even try. Did you get any scholarships? I did not even apply. I was not viewed as being college material. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother had never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. My critics/opponents have always stressed the aforesaid.

— Tough questions to ask your boss. My Democrat superiors in the federal government made it clear that to keep your job, you not only had to be a Democrat, you had to a) defend and advance the Democrat Party platform, most importantly, its race and gender based preference giving plank and b) help them get rid of their Republican employees. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I am amazed that I survived for almost 3 years at the Post Office, for almost 9 years at IRS, and for almost 18 years at GAO. I would not have survived if I had not earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— How much money did your parents have? My critics/opponents have always painted my parents, and therefore me, as having been filthy rich a) because my father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother and b) because they sent me and my brother to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools K-8. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. I had to work my way through college.
