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.

— Connie Chung says booze and bawdy jokes helped her break into journalism’s boys club (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I soon learned that all but one of my Chicago Office superiors were Democrats who were older, White, male, big drinkers, big smokers, and/or big spectator sports watchers and betters. Because I have always been conservative, I rejected their strong advice to join them in those activities, that is, I rejected their strong advice to join their “boys club.” Because of that, they did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They rejected my emphasis on job-related education and professionalism. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS work experience, my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They overtly rejected my efforts to recruit them to join the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. If their leader had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his very heavy drinking, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS, would never had been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote to GS-13 in 1986. But their leader came back in 1987 and forced that GAO manager to retire in 1987. He then threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an extremely bad job assignment, unfair job performance expectations, and unfair job performance appraisal. He ranked me the lowest of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. He ever-increasingly turned against me my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. His ever-increasing adverse actions against me forced me to seek help from my Congressman Henry Hyde in 1989. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought help from its union. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.)

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://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259365/pro-life-group-urges-illinois-residents-to-vote-no-on-ivf-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Right to Life, a pro-life group active in the state, has expressed opposition to the question, noting that “in vitro fertilization is detrimental to the inherent value of life.” “All children are equal in the eyes of God and one of the most beautiful vocations in life is becoming a parent. Life in all its stages is precious, including embryos. This absolutely includes children born from in vitro fertilization (IVF),” the group said in a Sept. 14 emailed statement. “However, it is important to recognize the IVF process can be harmful to new human lives, often commodifies children, and the procedure does not honor the sanctity of life.” The Catholic Church teaches that while couples struggling to have children can use certain fertility treatments, the use of IVF is “morally unacceptable.” This is because IVF involves the use of artificial means to achieve pregnancy outside of sex between a husband and wife — the marital act — a disassociation that the Church teaches is contrary to the dignity of both parents and children. In addition, to maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos during the IVF process and routinely destroy or indefinitely freeze millions of undesired embryos. “We sincerely ask and urge you to vote NO in the advisory referendum regarding in vitro fertilization on the Illinois general election ballot,” Illinois Right to Life said.)

SOUTHERN
— Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after apparent Trump assassination attempt (COMMENT: GAO need help. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. GAO’s mission is to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. While I worked for GAO, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives used major budget cuts to dramatically reduced GAO’s ability to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. To punish me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years that I worked for them. 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” when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my having earning three job related master’s degrees (1976,1980, and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a professional license (1981). I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Down-ballot drama. SEVEN WEEKS TO GO: The presidential candidates aren’t doing much to drive turnout in Illinois, a state they know will go blue. With that in mind, the Illinois General Assembly has passed three nonbinding ballot measures to help rev up voter interest. Otherwise, down-ballot candidates are on their own to get their messages out — and that costs money. We’ll be watching to see how much their respective parties help out in the home stretch. Here are the Illinois House races we’re watching. Financial numbers are based on the most recent quarterly reports.

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Democrat party’s unique historical opportunity
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/the_democrat_party_s_unique_historical_opportunity.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This presidential election offers a remarkable and unique historical opportunity for the Democrat party. In fact, this may be that party’s most opportune time ever to make history. The Democrat presidential candidate identifies as black, having previously identified as Southeast Asian. Becoming the first self-identified black and female president in America would be history-making. However, there is something much more history-making begging to be acknowledged recognized. In fact, it is something beyond belief—utterly inconceivable—something very few are qualified for. Kamala Harris is a rare candidate due to her genealogical background. She is the first black female candidate and second black presidential candidate descendant of a slave master (Obama was the first black descendant of a slave master.)

I was one of an extremely few Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago office. With one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense. Constructively they sided with GAO in Diersen v. GAO (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) My critics/opponents stressed to them that I did not give them any money and that I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination when they were “reaching out” to young minorities and women. They demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being much too conservative. I should write about my critics/opponents.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— From handshakes to hand-to-hand combat: Harris and Trump spar on abortion, economy, crowd size in first debate. Harris criticized Trump for the state of the economy and democracy when he left office, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the nation and after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump went after Harris for abandoning some of her past liberal positions and said: “She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.”

— Plan for Your Child’s Success (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not. 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. I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of 1966 class. My ACT score was only 24.)

AXIOS CHICAGO
— Separatist movement heats up in Illinois (COMMENT: Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly do everything that they can to drive Republicans out of Illinois. Republicans who are considering leaving Illinois should consider what has happened in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Wheaton being overwhelmingly religious, conservative, and Republican and the prosperity and safety that comes with that was a very big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984. But Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasingly moved into and taken over DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to take advantage of the prosperity, safety, and school rankings that Republicans created there. Since 2000, as homes are sold and bought, my precinct has gone from Republican to Democrat. Because that happened in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct, it can happen wherever Republicans move to. As Democrats and RINOs move in, prosperity, safety, and school rankings decrease.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How will the November 5, 2024 election impact you? My critics/opponents who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) will a) blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for the defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct suffer, b) increase their efforts to stop me from sending out my newsletters, c) increase their efforts to stop everyone from reading my newsletters, and d) have a registered Republican voter in my precinct defeat me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2026. Previously, a) they removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) they ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) they ended my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) they gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) they ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, h) they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, i) they almost got ICRC to censure me for my newsletters in 2006, j) they ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, k) they ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and l) they tried to defeat me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000. My critics/opponents 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. They have their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

— Lewis and Grant organize senior expo in Wheaton (COMMENT: How old are you? I will soon be 76. What shows your physical and mental health? For me, it is my ability to put together and send out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning. Way back in the 1970s, in 1974 when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors used up-or-out to write me off as being too old be promoted to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). Nevertheless, I did get promoted to GS-13 by GAO in 1986 after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

— Protections sought for prison workers in closing of aging Illinois prison. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency shrank from over 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 because of Republican-led budget cuts. The Democrats who ran the agency protected their Democrat employees who were the following: minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They got rid of their Republican employees who were the following: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. When they got rid of me in 1997, I was one of the agency’s very few remaining Republican employees. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me sooner if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— At 75, staying healthy is my new career. Financial, emotional, mental, nervous and physical requirements lie ahead. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, anticipate/expect more and more and more up-or-out. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they do not promote to GS-13 ($115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900/year) by age 40.

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed tests because my demographics gave me big unfair advantages. In my defense, 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.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/09/fight-dei-in-higher-ed-with-grades/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To contest a worldview whose ultimate goal is to destroy merit, schools should double down on objective measurements of student success. Reports of DEI’s decline are greatly exaggerated. That’s the sad truth as college and graduate students head to campus for the 2024–25 school year. While a growing number of states are removing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” from the classroom and campus experience, most schools still admit students for ideological and racial — not academic — reasons. State and federal policy-makers should push for meritocracy, and they can start by bringing back testing and grading. DEI’s most practical impact on higher education has been the lowering of standards. The end goal is to get more black and brown students into the classroom.)

WTTW & CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. Pot is poison. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, everyone around you will be pot users who will crash and burn. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

— ‘Horrific, heinous and inexplicable’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/09/04/horrific-heinous-and-inexplicable-00177278
(FROM THE ARTICLE: SHOCKING DETAILS have emerged about how four people were killed while sleeping on a Blue Line train in the early morning hours of the Labor Day holiday. Heading to court: A man identified as Rhanni S. Davis will appear before a judge today on charges he murdered four train passengers in what Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told reporters was a “horrific, heinous and inexplicable” act of violence. It’s seldom we write about crime at the top of Illinois Playbook, a newsletter you’ve come to recognize for its focus on government and politics. But this isn’t just any crime. It’s senseless. Authorities say no one was robbed. And there appear to have been no arguments leading up to it.)

JD SUPRA & LEXOLOGY
— Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO employers will ever-increasingly use AI a) to not hire those who have demographics that vote for Republicans and b) to get rid of their employees who have demographics that vote for Republicans. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. In 1980, I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, c) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. GAO audits IRS. In 1971, I had a) earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) worked for Firestone Stores since 1970, and c) passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. In 1966, I had earned a high school diploma from Crete-Monee High School and passed the postal employment examination that year.

— Up-or-out (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used up-or-out against me the most.

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I never made GS-14. However, I did make GS-13 Step 10 ($150,075) when I was 49 in 1997. I would focus on my critics/opponents in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who did not earn the aforesaid salaries by the aforesaid ages.)

— To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my superiors were under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to promote Democrat women and especially those who were minority, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were the aforesaid and who my superiors promoted over me 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.

— My critics/opponents have always dismissed/belittled/badmouthed the jobs that I had while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, UIC 1966-1968, and NIU 1969-1970. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. According to my critics/opponents, my taking those jobs proved that I am a loser.

— Public higher education is essential to training our future workforce (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, because of their Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of their race and gender based preference giving, that is, because of their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, fewer and fewer and fewer high school students who are the following seek college degrees: Republican, White, male, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They see that under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the likelihood of their getting hired for jobs that require college degrees is less and less and less. After I graduated from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, it took me 10 months to get a job that required a college degree, and I got that job because the Democrats who ran IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or someone who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time who would take the job. None of my IRS coworkers had master’s degrees in business. IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. Further, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly view degrees from non-Ivy League universities as being worthless. So unless you can get a degree from an Ivy-League university, you are discouraged from trying to get one at all. My Democrat IRS and then GAO superiors ever-increasingly viewed as being worthless my aforesaid bachelor’s degree, my 1976 MBA from Loyola, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and my 1997 IIT master’s degree in financial markets and trading.)

They stress that while I was a union member for almost 12 years, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly use Vance’s wife against Republicans
https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/ap-is-usha-vances-hindu-identity-an-asset-or-a-liability-to-the-trump-vance-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Usha Chilukuri Vance loves her “meat and potatoes” husband, JD Vance. She explained to a rapt Republican National Convention audience how their vice-presidential candidate adapted to her vegetarian diet and even learned to cook Indian food from her immigrant mother. That image of her white, Christian husband making the spicy cuisine of her parents’ native state in South India is atypical for the leaders of a party whose members are still largely white and Christian. Her presence at the RNC sparked enthusiasm on social media among some Indian American conservatives, particularly Hindu Americans, although most Indian Americans identify as Democrats. But for all Usha Vance shared about their identity-blending marriage in her speech last month in Milwaukee, which was a little over four minutes, she made no mention of her Hindu upbringing or her personal faith and their interfaith relationship – biographical details that have exposed her to online vitriol and hate.)

As Democrats move in, poverty and crime increase. Of course, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters blame Trump for that.

— Trump eyes plan that may give Elon Musk role in auditing U.S. agencies (COMMENT: Just kidding, but if Trump is elected, maybe he will give me a “role in auditing U.S. agencies.” I audited U.S. agencies for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981 and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned master’s degrees in business in1976), in accounting in1980, and in finance in 1997. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— Did you get scholarships? I did not. My critics/opponents have always used that against me. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school. Further, because my parents were not poor but they lacked money, I had to work my way through college. Instead of studying, I washed dishes while I was in high school and I delivered mail while I was in college. Consequently, my ACT score was lower and my GPAs were lower. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents were wealthy and who got scholarships because their ACT score and their GPA were high.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Pot is poison. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Trump’s plan to slash government could hurt Republicans in a key House race. For nearly a decade, former president Donald Trump has rallied voters around a cry to cut the size of the federal government and “drain the swamp.” (COMMENT: When Republicans slash federal agency budgets, the Democrats who run those agencies get rid of their Republican employees first and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) earned a master’s degree in Financial Markets and Trading from IIT in 1997.)

— Here’s why we celebrate Labor Day and what you need to know about its creation. A federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September each year, Labor Day is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are vehemently anti-union. They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980) and they hint/imply/argue/shout that because of that, I was grossly overpaid. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress a) that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

(COMMENT: The importance of GAO’s mission and the importance of the work that I did as a GAO Analyst helped me deal with my Democrat superiors’ ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my passing on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and e) my earning more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. They rudely forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

— Democrats must use Labor Day to honor workers and win over union voters. (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are vehemently anti-union. They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980) and they hint/imply/argue/shout that because of that, I was grossly overpaid. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress a) that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

— FRONT PAGE: Brazil Blocks X After Musk Ignores Court Orders. The social network began to go dark in the nation of 200 million, the result of an escalating fight between Elon Musk and a Brazilian judge over what can be said online. (COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have done everything that they could to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the big adverse actions that they have taken against me.)

— Ford & Lowe’s Become Latest Companies To Scale Back Their DEI Policies (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO employers have always used Affirmative Action and DEI to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, and/or younger person who would take the job. They anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat, but they were wrong. Consequently, they wasted my career and got rid of me.)

EASTERN PROGRESS
— Stereotypes (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stereotype big time. I should write about them. I would focus on those who a) positively stereotype those who share their demographics and b) negatively stereotype those who do not share their demographics. But I would also focus on those who negatively stereotype those who share their demographics to curry favor with those who do not share their demographics. I would especially focus on those who negatively stereotype those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I would especially those who have taken many big adverse actions against me.)
