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.) https://www.aol.com/median-retirement-income-us-4-100000672.html
ACCOUNTANCY AGE — The evolving accounting industry now demands a more diverse talent pool (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30.

The aforesaid did not help my career because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger. IRS never promoted me to GS-13. GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31. 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.

My father and his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had lots less money because they all sent their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. My father sent me to that school 1953-1961 and then my brother 1958-1961. He sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 and my brother 1961-1968 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college.

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had lied about my wanting to have children and what my wife and I had done to have children to be assigned in in-town audits. The real reason for their punishment was my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and I had become in late 1988 the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would focus on my Democrat superiors who forced the GAO manager to resign in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, who had been finally able to assign me to audits of IRS in early 1986, and who promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in late 1986. I would focus on those who threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988.

QUAD CITY TIMES — CNN asks DeSantis if Trump is too old to run. How old are you? According to my Democrat IRS superiors, starting in 1973, I was too old to be promoted to GS-13 because I was 25 years old and because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I finally did make GS-13 in 1986, but only after I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transferred to GAO in 1980, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, and finally got assigned to audits of IRS in 1986.

The increase is even greater for cannabinoids such as marijuana — 96 to 203, a 111% leap — but there also have been more drivers testing positive for both prescription and illegal narcotics after deadly crashes.

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.

According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League colleges are worthless, that is, my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT are worthless. To provide just one example, a University of Chicago MBA holder who was my superior during my last 8 years at GAO and my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years specifically and overtly treated my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT was worthless. She headed the office’s group that audited federal financial industry regulators.

While I had master’s degrees in business and accounting, I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, and I was a licensed CPA, she stressed that I had taken relatively few courses in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening courses in finance at IIT in 1992, and after completing 16 courses, earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading IIT in 1997. Even though all the courses were directly job-related and I had gotten her appointed to serve on the program’s board of advisers, she treated those courses as being worthless. Further, in September of 1997, she took the lead in successfully forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program.

As ISP puts it an FAQ web page, “persons who violate the endorsement affidavit requirements may be arrested and charged.” Note the “may.” In response to Halbrook’s question, ISP’s Suzanne Bond said that “it will be up to each individual state’s attorney in the 102 counties to decide how they will enforce that.” If a state’s attorney declines to prosecute, there may be no charges filed, no conviction, no penalty; if a state’s attorney decides to pursue charges, a gun owner could face prison time.)

Ever-increasingly, those who move into DuPage County have less income. My wife and I could afford to buy a home in Wheaton in 1978 because of our income and her savings. I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my wife had worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions for almost 8 years. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $101,507/year.

Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Thursday that hundreds of thousands will not abide by the registry order. “It’s up to the governor and the legislature to truly decide if they are prepared to declare war on law-abiding gun owners or not,” he said during the meeting. If that holds true, gun owners would be subject to Class A misdemeanor upon the first offense and Class 3 felony for the second and subsequent offenses per the bill. A Class 3 felony could land those found in violation with up to 10 years in prison.)
WAND TV — The Trump-DeSantis rivalry grows more personal and cruder as the GOP candidates head to Florida. Donald Trump wants not only to beat Florida Gov.

Democrats run IRS. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who they hired. They offered me a job because I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I accepted IRS’s job offer a) because Firestone Stores had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile subsequently withdrew saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, b) because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had died in 1969, and c) because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years and I would get all my seniority and sick leave reinstated.

FORTUNE — Antisemitism is on the rise across America–and it’s creeping into the workplace. – JONATHAN A. GREENBLATT AND CLARA HESS (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO’s Chicago office for almost 18 years 1980-1997, at least one of my superiors was always Jewish and often two. During my last 12 years, all of my superiors were Jewish. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed to them that I was conservative, Republican, Lutheran, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. During those 18 years they took many adverse actions against me. They a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, b) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and evaluations. c) assigned me to work for, work with, and supervise their most problematic employees, d) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years, f) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, g) always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and h) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In my defense, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

SALES RECRUITER CHICAGO — Career Advice for Those Starting Late in Life (COMMENT: Did you get a late start in life? I certainly did. I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. I should have earned a master’s degree in accounting much sooner. I should have passed the CPA examination and become a licensed CPA much sooner. When I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31, all my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to me that I was much too old to have a successful GAO career.) https://www.salesrecruiterschicago.com/career-advice-for-those-starting-late-in-life/

DES MOINES REGISTER — Test politicians, and surgeons, for competency. That’s better than age limits. A law requiring mandatory physical and mental testing of the president and members of Congress past a certain age would not be age discrimination, per se. – Greg Ganske (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans. Up-or-out is age discrimination per se. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be promoted to GS-13.

While my Democrat GAO superiors did promote me to GS-13 in 1986, they nevertheless forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I had not made GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, or Senior Executive Service by age 40.

Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican, give a remarkable speech against term limits. Hyde, a giant of a man at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, with a shock of white hair, still moved with grace from his Georgetown basketball days. In the 1943 NCAA semifinals, he outplayed DePaul’s 6-foot-10 All-American George Mikan. Hyde argued that multiple terms help elected officials gain institutional knowledge and build relationships needed to be effective in passing legislation. The C-SPAN cameras caught me listening on the floor of the House with a bemused look when he said, “When the dentist bends down over you with the drill whirring, don’t you hope he has done that before? When the neurosurgeon has shaved your head and made the pencil mark on your skull where they’re going to have the incision and he approaches with the electric saw, ask him one question: ‘Are you a careerist?’” Laughter filled the chamber. . .Henry Hyde would say, “just vote the mentally incompetent out!” But this is easier said than done as evidenced by aged politicians who get reelected time and again in safe districts or heavily red or blue states. The voters should at least know if elderly candidates have passed minimal physical and mental competency tests. Hyde died of complications from open heart surgery at the age of 81. His surgeon was probably one of the best, but I wonder if, as his heart surgeon approached with the scalpel, he would have been better served by asking, “Have you passed your competency tests?” instead of, “Are you a careerist?”)

HUFFINGTON POST — Adam Kinzinger Shares The Only Reason Why He Still Considers Himself A Republican. “I’m not going to give up that title,” the former Illinois lawmaker told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. – Josephine Harvey (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. In your precinct, in your municipality, in your township, and in your county, how many cast Republican ballots in primary elections, but then vote for Democrats in general elections? I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who run as Republicans for political and government offices in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to defeat conservatives.

Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he still considers himself a Republican, but only because “I don’t want to give up on that fight.” He told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, “This country needs two healthy parties: a healthy Democratic party and a healthy Republican. So I’m not going to give up that title.” He said he had voted Democratic in the 2022 midterms and would do the same in 2024 if it’s a Donald Trump-Joe Biden matchup. “I really believe it’s down to one issue on the ballot,” he said. “Not taxes, not even abortion, nothing. The one issue is: Do you believe in democracy, or do you believe in authoritarianism?” Kinzinger told the Washington Post last year that he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but he felt “dirty” doing it, and “it’s not something I can square away in my soul fully.” Kinzinger was one of the most prominent critics of the former president in the House Republican conference before he retired from Congress earlier this year. He was one of two Republicans who served on the Jan. 6 committee, and one of ten who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the insurrection. “There’s little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use,” Kinzinger said in 2021 when he announced he would not run for reelection. “It has also become increasingly obvious that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide.”)
Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)
CENTER SQUARE — Critics watchful as IRS prepares for $78 billion influx – Brett Rowland (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the following wasted my knowledge of IRS: a) my Democrat IRS superiors, b) my Democrat GAO superiors, c) Hastert, and d) my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives and candidates for those offices and their staff members. GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year.

The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.) https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/10/25/23932077/democrats-far-left-antisemitism-problem-israel-hamas-palestinians-se-cupp — ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: Democrats ever-increasingly encourage people to take illegals into their homes. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/10/26/23919871/chicago-area-retiree-opens-home-to-migrants-new-family-members-stuck-at-police-stations
POLITICO ILLINOIS — The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.” https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/10/26/state-senates-moment-of-silence-00123697
