VARIOUS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. They ever-increasingly reduce enforcement of pot laws. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, those around you will be stoners. I led the successful fight to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders will crow that they are stoners. I have always opposed pot. I have never used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980. If IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to a) get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, or get accepted by UIC in 1966, b) get accepted by NIU in 1969, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) pass the CPA Examination on my first attempt in 1979, f) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, g) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.  If I had used pot, I would not been able a) to buy used cars in 1964 and 1971 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and have a home built in 1984, and c) get married in 1978. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject the illegal drugs plank in the Republican Party platform, want to use pot, are using pot, have used pot, and/or want make money off of pot.

My critics/opponents want to stop me from sending out my newsletters. Failing that, they want to stop everyone from reading my newsletters.

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 wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/18/what-the-media-wont-tell-you-about-the-right-to-ivf-act-n4932632
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been actively seeking to elevate abortion as a central voting issue to drive their base to the polls. One strategy has been to merge abortion with the debate over in vitro fertilization (IVF), effectively adopting it as part of their broader 2024 election strategy by pushing claims that Republicans are attempting to ban IVF. To this effort, Senate Democrats, spearheaded by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), pushed for a second vote on the so-called “Right to IVF Act” this week. “If Donald Trump and Republicans want to protect people’s right to access IVF, they can vote yes on it,” Duckworth told CBS News before the vote. “He’s shown that it only takes one sentence from him, and the Republican Party will fall in line behind him.” The bill failed to advance, and the media promptly pushed the expected narrative. “Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would protect access to IVF on Tuesday, in a vote that Democrats held to draw attention to the issue after former President Donald Trump’s recent statements supporting the fertility treatments,” CBS reported. “For the second time in four months, Senate Democrats forced a vote on the Right To IVF Act, only to be blocked by Republicans who called it unnecessary and politically motivated as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to make access to in vitro fertilization a 2024 campaign issue,” read the lead at NBC News. The headline over at CNN read, “Senate GOP blocks IVF bill again as Democrats spotlight issue ahead of elections.” Naturally, these stories and headlines aren’t telling the whole story. This is a common election-year tactic that can be surprisingly effective if the media is on your side. Of course, the devil is always in the details, because the “Right to IVF Act,” is far more than what its name implies — as is the case with most legislation. “The ‘Right To IVF Act,’ introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lumps several radical Democrat-led assisted reproductive technology (ART) bills into one to ensure the unlimited creation, indefinite freezing, and destruction of millions of embryos,” explains Jordan Boyd of The Federalist. Boyd goes into further detail. “Included in the self-proclaimed ‘sweeping’ bill are vague language and undefined terms that would force Americans with moral objections to ART to fund the manufacturing of motherless and fatherless children, commercial surrogacy, experimental transhumanist technologies like artificial wombs, ‘gene editing,’ and reproduction without women via in vitro gametogenesis,” he explains. “Additionally, the package would make a permanent path for taxpayer-funded ART like egg and sperm freezing, IVF, and surrogacy for millions of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. It also incentivizes the promotion of babies by any means necessary above adoption and restorative reproductive treatments that address the root causes of infertility.” If Democrats were really interested in protecting the right to IVF treatments, they would, for one, push forward a clean bill that could get bipartisan support, and I suspect it would. But they won’t risk putting forward a bill that might succeed and take the issue off the table for them before the election.)

POST MILLENNIAL
— US Air Force has DEI ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ in officer ranks (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They gave all their Senior Executive Service (SES) members who they assigned to manage their Chicago office lists of employees to get rid of. Of course, I was near or at the top of all those lists. The more of the following that you were, the higher that you were on those lists: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, if your ancestors had been in America for a long time, and/or if you had not made GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,457) by age 35, and SES ($191,900) by age 40. The aforesaid is “up-or-out.” Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), in 1981 (internal auditing), in 1990 (fraud examination), in 1994 (government financial management), in 1996 (financial services auditing), and in 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).)  The aforesaid is Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump Seems to Reverse Course on SALT. His Supporters Cheer. When he was president, Trump capped a popular tax deduction that helps blue-state taxpayers. Now he is vowing to restore it. (COMMENT: SALT was enacted to discourage taxpayers from itemizing. I have always opposed the $10,000 SALT deduction cap. Because of that cap, since 2017, my wife and I can no longer pay less federal income tax by itemizing. Itemizing lowered my federal income tax bill 1972-1977 and lowered my and my wife’s federal income tax bill 1978-2017. We have deducted real estate taxes since 1978, I deducted real estate taxes 1972-1977, and I deducted education expenses 1972-1981 and 1992-1997.)
