FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

— Giuliani trial: Moss says she feared for her life over fraud lies in defamation case – AP (COMMENT: Giuliani blamed Moss for Trump losing Georgia in 2020. My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses suffered by their candidates on ballots in my precinct. More than just blame me, they ended my service as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster in 2010 and 2004, and d) an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my newsletters in 2006.)
https://abc7chicago.com/rudy-giuliani-election-fraud-lawsuit-shaye-moss/14172308/
— Democrats promote their civil fraud trial against Trump. Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office, they promoted their disallowance of my sick leave request in 1968 and 1969 and b) their forcing me to resign in 1969. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS, they promoted a) their disallowance my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and b) their not promoting to GS-13 after I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. GAO audits IRS. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, they promoted a) their forcing me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) their keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) their delaying my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoting me to GS-14, d) their always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, and e) their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 and giving my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My critics/opponents have absolutely no problem with what my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors did to me, in fact, they applaud it.

— Biden seeks to preempt GOP attempts to slash federal workforce with new proposal – Kevin Liptak (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and who ran GAO 1980-1997. While I worked for GAO, Republicans slashed GAO’s workforce by 3,000, from over 6,000 to under 3,000. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me viciously for that. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoting me to GS-14. They always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they took the following adverse actions against me, but according to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, they were not adverse actions: a) they force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and they gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, b) they always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, c) they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoting me to GS-14, d) they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) they forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me because I complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, and age discrimination. Starting in 1988, they took more adverse actions against me because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

FED WEEK
— Other recently introduced bills in Congress include: HR-6581, to require that federal employees and others alleging age discrimination need to prove only that age was among the reasons an employer took an adverse action against them, overturning a court decision requiring them to prove that the employer would not have taken the action except for discriminatory reasons.

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, female, minority, or veteran. I should write a book about that. Overwhelmingly, those who side with my Democrat IRS superiors are Democrats, minorities, females, and/or veterans a) who never took job-related graduate courses and/or did not have to pay for those courses.)
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/12/06/dem-sen-coons-legitimate-case-irs-has-abused-audits-but-it-needs-more-agents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that “there is a legitimate case to be made that, in some instances in the past, the IRS has overused its audit authority” but defended additional IRS funding enacted by the Biden administration without legislative guarantees it won’t be used to audit taxpayers making under $400,000. While discussing increased funding for the IRS, co-host Joe Kernen asked, “You don’t worry about weaponizing the IRS again, Senator? You saw what happened. You were there for Lois Lerner, weren’t you? Maybe you weren’t.”)

CENTER SQUARE
— DeSantis: Trump is too old to be president – Casey Harper (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) demonized, denigrated, and condemned my federal career and b) stressed that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. In 1973 when I was 25 years old, my Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed me to be too old to ever be promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. The Navy equivalent is Commander. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. Nevertheless, I did get promoted to GS-13 in 1986 when I was 32 after I had a) worked for GAO for almost 7 years, b) worked for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. What do DeSantis supporters say about that? Unlike me, DeSantis became a veteran when he was 26. Like me, DeSantis did not earn a master’s degree until he was 27. DeSantis ended his Navy Reserve service in 2019 when he was 41 as a Lieutenant Commander. The GS equivalent is GS-12. I made GS-12 in 1974 when I was 25.)

— DeSantis goes after Trump’s age by saying president is NOT the job for ‘someone pushing 80’ – but REFUSES to say if he thinks he is ‘unfit’ to serve despite Christie’s demands he answer. Ron DeSantis, 45, said presidency ‘is not a job for somebody that’s pushing 80’. Donald Trump, 77, and President Joe Biden, 81, have face criticism for their age. Christie slammed DeSantis for refusing to say if Trump is ‘mentally fit’ to serve. – KATELYN CARALLE

— Police officers and firefighters would no longer be forced to retire at age 63 under a proposal that’s being considered by a city council committee. – Craig Wall (COMMENT: Forcing employees to retire early is not only a tremendous waste, it is age discrimination. Democrats run the federal government. They use “up-or-out” to force their employees who they did not promote into their Senior Executive Service ($183,500/year) by age 40 and who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible. I became eligible to take their early retirement “offer” in 1993 when I was 45. Because I am Republican, White, male, and non-veteran, because they never promoted me to GS-14 let alone to SES, and because in 1988, when I was 40, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the former House speaker, headlined the annual holiday party hosted by businessman and political donor Jay Bergman at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Oak Brook on Monday. This wasn’t a campaign event, but McCarthy gave a shoutout to fellow Republican Congressman Mike Bost, who was also there. His message: Bost’s opponent in the 2024 primary, former gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, has no business running for Congress, according to McCarthy. We hear the California congressman blamed Bailey for Illinois Republicans losing four congressional seats in 2022. It was some hyperbole since Democrats controlled how the maps were drawn for congressional seats last year. But he got his point across. Word got back to Bailey’s team, who called Bost a “career politician” who’s “loyal to the swamp,” according to a statement to Playbook. Also in the party room: Congressman Darin LaHood, Former Congressman Bob Dold, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin (who lost to Bailey in last year’s primary), Illinois Senate Minority Leader John Curran, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, state Sens. Sue Rezin and Jil Tracy, nonprofit and political fundraiser Lisa Wagner, Regional Transportation Authority Board Chair Kirk Dillard, former DuPage County Commissioner Greg Hart, public affairs consultant Thom Serafin, business consultant David Walsh, entrepreneur Sarah Frey and Kirkland & Ellis partner Sandy Perl, who got a standing O for his opening remarks supporting Israel. Who invited McCarthy: his friend Richard Porter, a national committeeman of the Republican Party. The holiday host: Bergman is an oil man (yes, he lives in Illinois) and an investor who has donated to Republicans and Democrats over the years, including to Donald Trump in 2016. Another boost: Bost also was endorsed this week by Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician to Trump.- SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: I used to write such articles about Republican events. I should write a book about those who organized, spoke at, and/or attended those events who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Congregational Church and Cemetery. The National Park Service added this church property and cemetery to its Network to Freedom listings in 2018. The church is the sole existing south suburban building associated with the Underground Railroad. Church members aided freedom seekers traveling through Illinois, and the area is known for having passed one of the earliest anti-slavery resolutions in the state. . .The cemetery is also part of the Network to Freedom, as key players in the abolition movement are buried in the cemetery, including Samuel Cushing. Address: 550-570 W. Exchange St. . .Since early 2022, efforts have been underway to turn the church into the Crete Historical Museum, thanks to efforts by the Crete Area Historical Society. . .While the cemetery is open to the public year-round, appointments are required to visit the church.

— The system worked during Watergate. This time around, I am not so sure. – Laura Washington (COMMENT: While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I was one of its extremely few Republican employees. Durning and after Watergate, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers, b) disallowed my education deductions, c) ignored, dismissed, and belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and d) made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.)

SPRINGFIELD NEWS LEADER
— Want to run as a Republican in Christian County? You’ll have to prove yourself first. – Marta Mieze (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. Far too many candidates run as Republicans but reject many, most, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual 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. Far too many of those candidates destroy Republicans like me who support those planks.)
https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2023/12/04/christian-county-republicans-among-committees-adopting-vetting-process/71742609007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those wanting to run for office in Christian County as Republicans are now required to undergo a vetting process. While those leading the new effort want to see it expanded state-wide, some counties and the Missouri Republican Party remain cautious. Don Carriker, chairman of the Christian County Republican Central Committee, told the News-Leader the goal of vetting candidates is to make the Republican brand stronger and gain more voters that he said the party has lost because of a lack of strength and cohesion. Without the vetting process, Carriker said candidates can simply run with an “R” by their name on the ballot to gain voter support in red counties without actually holding values that align with the party. “The job of the party is not to deceive people by letting people put an ‘R’ by their name when they’re really not a Republican,” he said. The vetting process will be proctored and include an “objective review” of each candidate’s background, a 25-question multiple choice “values survey” based on the state party platform and will require candidates to sign a statement pledging their allegiance to both the state and federal Republican Party platforms and constitutions, according to a news release. Those who refuse to go through vetting or fail the process will not have their filing fees accepted. Incumbents and those who have held office in the past will have their voting records reviewed.)

— Republicans suckered into expelling George Santos and the most conservative voting record in NY: ‘To hell with this place’ – Miranda Devine
https://nypost.com/2023/12/03/opinion/republicans-suckered-into-expelling-george-santos-and-the-most-conservative-voting-record-in-ny/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You don’t have to approve of George Santos to understand it should have been left to his constituents in Long Island and Queens to decide on his suitability to remain in Congress. Nonetheless, despite a slim majority in the House and crucial votes looming as they head into an election year, 105 Republicans were suckered by moral vanity into expelling one of their own Friday. The 35-year-old gay son of Brazilian immigrants, Santos had the most conservative voting record of the entire New York delegation, and now he is gone, taking his vote with him. “To hell with this place,” he said as he exited the US Capitol after the vote, vowing revenge on the former colleagues who had turned on him. Perfect. Just what Republicans need: more friendly fire. Who knows who will fill his place in the Democratic district he miraculously flipped last year? Gov. Hochul has to hold a special election in the next couple of months, and you can bet that Democrats will use all their wiles to regain a seat that they used to take for granted.)

— Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of ‘anti-racism’ – M.B. Mathews (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and those jobs. My critics/opponents have always stressed that the jobs I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/12/making_a_silk_purse_from_the_crimeridden_rubble_of_antiracism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism. But racism does not account for these failures. Failure accounts for these failures: Failure to educate. Failure to instill a work ethic. Failure to be good and to do good. Failure to teach respect and good manners to young children. Failure to revere and promote healthy two-parent families. Failure to discourage sexual profligacy. Failure to demand excellence. Failure to reject profanity and embrace decency and honor. Instead, too many in the Black community have embraced the dysfunction within the Black culture with pride, claiming a unique historical experience that they say no one understands but other Black people. It has been long enough making excuses for Black failures and it is past time for the respectable Black people of America to rise up against the jealous race-baiters and say “No more.” There is nothing preventing Black success that a Judeo-Christian perspective cannot address successfully. Love your neighbor means don’t steal, don’t do the crime. Be nice to each other. Respect the property and lives of others. Be on time (terribly unfashionable among “anti-racists”), work hard (ditto), have a plan to succeed, and above all get educated at a school that does not indoctrinate but educates, which excludes most urban government schools. Unasked-for advice: Do not respect, honor, or adopt the malignant principles of those who teach anti-white racism in the guise of Critical Race Theory, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, or “Anti-Racism” (anti-white racism with an oxymoronic name.) When a group blames others, they will not succeed because they are always relying on those others to change. When the blamed ones don’t change, the professional victims believe that it’s perfectly okay to steal, cheat, lie, and break other people’s stuff in the name of reparations. That is not the path to success or to a better place in life, although it is a temporary frisson of schadenfreude. Crime in Blue cities is off the charts because Soros-appointed district attorneys have banded together to excuse crime committed by Black perpetrators. This harms Black people first, then Black neighborhoods, Black aspirations and in itself is criminal. When you teach theft, you get theft. When you get theft, good businesses leave your neighborhood. When they do leave, they take the economic base with them, and who gets hurt? Innocent, freedom-loving, decent people get hurt because they’re often stuck there with the crime they tolerated. The raped businesses will leave and set up shop where they are welcomed. No one is helped by trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: The sow’s ear cannot up and leave the sow. And silk is never made from putrefying pig flesh. The time is now for decent Black people everywhere to confront those among them who are committing the crimes. Refund the police. Create deterrence to crime by actually prosecuting it, from Broken Windows to retail theft, to murder. Don’t be Chicago, LA, or NYC. And for God’s sake, stop blaming others for the failures of your own house. Blame is not a strategy that keeps very long without starting to rot.)

INC.
— Know thy enemy. – ADAM HANFT (COMMENT: I should write a book about my enemies. I would focus on why they are my enemies. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.inc.com/adam-hanft/strike-lessons-surprising-leadership-tips-for-management-from-watching-shawn-fain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, recognize reality. Just because you’re running a company doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies that are as aggressive a threat to your economic well-being as the UAW is to the Big Three. Trust me, your enemies are just as real and more diverse. You have direct competitors, existing ones, and those studying your business in search of vulnerabilities. Your enemies can also include regulators who are bent on limiting your ability to operate freely; retailers who want to crush your margins; and consumers who are badmouthing you on social media for one reason or another. Even–or especially–the trends can be your enemies. If you are in the preservative business, you know whereof I speak. Once you frame your leadership mission that way, you can develop strategies to attack and deflect your enemies, based on your strengths. As I followed Fain’s moves, it struck me that he might have hip-pocketed a copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. This legendary approach to strategy and warfare was written around 400 B.C.E. and is still followed today. Take this quote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” So my question for you, as a business leader, is: Do you really and truly know your enemies, declared and undeclared, as well as you should? I doubt it. We don’t spend a lot of time thinking about winning in a world of enemies. One reason is that the “enemy frame” is inconsistent with how we think about business today. We dream about our “why” and our purpose. We have become so mission-y and vision-y that we forget the hard-knuckled street fight that business often is. That’s why Fain’s lesson is so important. I don’t believe that business leaders spend nearly enough time thinking long and hard, about who their enemies are, what motivates them, and where their vulnerabilities lie. As a corollary, I don’t believe business leaders spend enough time, introspectively, on “knowing themselves”–the other half of Sun Tzu’s formulation.)

— Civil rights lawyers blast woke Illinois school district’s racial SEGREGATION of math and English classes in bid to boost black children’s scores – and warn it may be illegal. Evanston offers Algebra 2, pre-calculus, AP calculus and an English seminar in what’s called AXLE – Advancing Excellence, Lifting Everyone. They also offer GANAS – from a Spanish expression meaning ‘giving it all you got’ – for black and Latino students. Civil rights lawyers have come out against the programs and believe they may be violating federal law. – STEPHEN M. LEPORE

— ‘Agents are overrun and undermanned’: Arizona congressman calls for the NATIONAL GUARD to be deployed to Mexico border as Border Patrol is swarmed by nearly 10,000 migrants per day. The request, aired by Republican Congressman Juan Ciscomani Thursday, comes as the Tucson Border Sector grapples with an increase in migrant traffic. That same day, CBP reported more than 9,400 migrant encounters in a span of 24 hours – 7,700 of whom were apprehended by Border Patrol agents. In the letter, Ciscomani – a 41-year-old who was born in Mexico – called on Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to fix the ‘dire situation’ – ALEX HAMMER

Democrat leaders will not stop bringing in illegals until they are sure that they have enough voting to assure that no Republican will ever be elected in America again. RINO leaders will not stop bringing in illegals until they have all the cheap labor that they can use.

— Robert Jacobsen, DuPage County historian, canning industry executive, dies at 92 – Bob Goldsborough (COMMENT: I had the honor of serving with Jacobsen on the Milton Township Cemeteries Authority 2001-2004.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obituaries/ct-robert-jacobsen-obit-20231120-6jte4u4ygnftdpgzqad4v7k5yu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of Jacobsen’s greatest achievements started about 2000, when he became the chairman of the newly formed Milton Township Cemeteries Authority. Under state law, townships have the right to declare cemeteries abandoned and then take control of them, and in the late 1990s, Milton Township, which includes unincorporated areas just outside Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Carol Stream, formed a cemetery authority to take over and restore three abandoned cemeteries, Jewell Grove, Pleasant Hill and St. Stephen. Jacobsen recruited volunteers to help him restore the cemeteries, including clearing overgrowth, adding signage, fixing headstones and planting prairie grasses. Jacobsen also began holding annual family remembrance days at each cemetery. “Bob brought dignity and history to those families buried there,” said Wheaton Bank and Trust President Bob Hutchinson, a longtime friend and former neighbor. “He cared deeply about our local history and engaged with many stakeholders to preserve it.” “In these cemeteries are the pioneers that built our community,” Jacobsen told the Tribune in 2010. “I really believe in my heart that people in our community want to know about our history, and it’s just a question of how do you get them involved. The joy of this cemetery activity is that so many people have gotten involved, and so many people have supported a love of history. Volunteers can’t do it all, and you need institutions to lead the way for volunteers to step up.” Marty Keller, a former Milton Township trustee, called Jacobsen “a generational character who both accomplished much and inspired many.” “His dedication to preserving our history led him to write books, restore cemeteries and participate in countless Milton Township activities,” Keller said. “Bob reminded us that few things worth fighting for can be completed quickly. It takes time and commitment by many citizens to create a lasting impact. He was a warm and caring man who possessed a strength of character that will be greatly missed.” . . . Jacobsen also served as a Milton Township Republican committeeman.)

My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a 21% pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

According to my critics/opponents, all the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me were absolutely justified. Further, according to them, instead of me, GAO, IRS, and the Post Office should hired those who were minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Further, according to them, I was grossly overpaid because I should not have been promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986. Further, according to RINOs, the federal government should be and it is the “employer of last resort” and it should be and it is the dumping ground for those who lack what it takes to succeed in the private sector.)

— Evanston School District Offers Classes Separated by Race to ‘Shrink Learning Gap’ – Laura Wellington
https://www.westernjournal.com/school-district-offers-classes-separated-race-shrink-learning-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To merely exist as a white person today is to hold black people and Latino people down. That is what the liberals and progressives want everyone to believe as they blame “whiteness” as the primary cause for the educational inequality in our nation. The fallacy is being escalated by Evanston Township High School located in Evanston, Illinois. New classes are being held that are reintroducing segregation into the school and our nation in a whole new way. The goal is to “shrink [the] learning gap” that is occurring between black, Latino, and white students, The Wall Street Journal reported. The cause of this gap is being blamed on the existence of whiteness in the school. Public school officials believe that whiteness is a distraction to black and Latino students. These students need it to go away in order to perform, I guess. As a result optional courses have been set up to exclude the white element. The fact that they are optional bypasses any legal issues that could arise due to antidiscrimination laws, according to education lawyers. Called affinity classes, 200 black and Latino kids have voluntarily signed up for math classes and a writing seminar made up of kids of a single race taught by a teacher of color, according to the Journal. These classes separate white students from black and Latino students. It’s a band-aid solution, in my opinion, much easier to latch onto than the actual root causes of black and Latino students’ under performance. Black and Latino parents and kids in the school district should be furious. These children are being sold short and set up to fail under the guise of eliminating prejudice. They are being excused from reality and the very field that will challenge them to achieve in a safe environment, so they can go out and successfully conquer the real, much tougher world. Unless, that is, the intent is to keep the black population and Latino population in their own boxes, away from their white counterparts and competition. They will forever trail behind as a result, in the name of social, cultural progress — elective enslavement as a result of being sold a bill of goods. We will also begin to reverse course on cultural acceptance at the hands of heightened inequality. This new format is a far cry from offering optional programs, like African American studies, from which all can benefit. This is blatant segregation and finger pointing towards the white population of students.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Will Democrat leaders publish the names and addresses of all those whose ancestors were enslavers? Should they be the first to pay reparations? Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. None of my ancestors were enslavers, but nevertheless, because of my demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), Democrat and RINO leaders have made me pay reparations big time, that his, they have made me pay the price of AA and DEI big time.

In today’s dollars, $5,262/month is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972.)

GAO delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and never promoted me to GS-14. GAO forced me to take its early retirement “offer” when I was 49. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

To hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of foreign countries, Democrat, of one minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time is to not hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of America, Republican, of another minority, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. All those who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were most if not virtually all of the following: Black, Hispanic, Asian, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Further, all of them had less job-related work experience than I had, less job-related education than I had, fewer job-related professional certifications than I had or no certifications, and/or no job-related professional license like the one I had. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

TOWNHALL
— The Freedom to Drive – Terry Jeffrey (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been anti-car if not car-haters. I have owned cars since I was 16 in 1964, and I own seven now and a SUV. Because I could not find a job in Crete in 1964, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in Monee in 1964 with money that I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers so that could take a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in Chicago Heights. After that, I used cars that I bought to get to/from jobs a) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor, chipping slag and pumping gasoline in South Chicago Heights, delivering mail in Park Forest, working on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumping gasoline again in Chicago Heights, collecting delinquent taxes in the south suburbs, and auditing federal agencies in the Chicago area and b) classes at UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, Roosevelt, and IIT. While I own eight vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA Illinois newsletters together and sending them out.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled,” LaHood told the Associated Press in a Feb. 19, 2009 interview. “What I see this administration doing is this — thinking outside the box on how we fund our infrastructure in America,” he said. Even the Obama administration, however, did not fully embrace what LaHood was suggesting. . .The Obama administration did not pursue a vehicle-miles-traveled tax, but Secretary LaHood did advance a plan to reduce American driving. On June 16, 2009, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs held a hearing on “Greener Communities, Greater Opportunities: New Ideas For Sustainable Development and Economic Growth.” LaHood testified at this hearing on his vision for “more livable communities” and “transit-oriented development.” . . . “Transit-oriented, mixed-use development has the potential to provide efficient and convenient options for employers, developers, young professionals and families in many large and small cities around the United States,” LaHood said. “Transit-oriented development,” he said, “also has the potential to contribute significantly to the revitalization of downtown districts, foster workable neighborhoods, and offer an alternative to urban and suburban sprawl and automobile focused commuting.” On April 14, 2009, the Heritage Foundation published a report by Ronald Utt, which this writer cited in his 2010 book “Control Freaks.” Utt’s report was entitled “President Obama’s New Plan to Decide Where Americans Live and How They Travel.” “To save Americans from these alleged higher living costs,” Utt wrote, “the Smart Growth and New Urbanist movements want Americans to move into higher-density developments — such as townhouses and high-rise apartment buildings — which, the anti-suburbanists contend, can be better served by public transportation (hence the commitment to ‘transportation choice,’ a process whereby commuters are bribed or coerced into an inconvenient mode of transportation that most would not choose on their own) — thereby freeing the hapless American people from relying on their automobiles.”)

They have always stressed that while I was a union member 1966-1980, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

— 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.)
