According to my critics/opponents, I owe everything that I have to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics.

I bought a new townhome in University Park after my IRS salary had increased from $55,850/year to $68,315/year in today’s dollars when I was 24 years old in 1972.

When my wife and I got married in 1978, we were able to buy a home in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) a) because my IRS salary was $108,978/year in today’s dollars, b) because of my wife’s salary, and c) because my wife had saved enough for the down payment.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Senate and Trump on a Collision Course Over the Leadership of the GAO
https://www.aei.org/op-eds/senate-and-trump-on-a-collision-course-over-the-leadership-of-the-gao/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gene L. Dodaro is not a household name. He is a mild-mannered man who is rarely seen without a necktie and dark suit, and who speaks in a flat, matter-of-fact tone. He has worked for the federal government since 1973. Yet, his retirement in December may well set off a separation-of-powers battle royale between President Donald Trump and Congress. Dodaro is the head of the Government Accountability Office, which has been a thorn in the president’s side during his second term. And by law, Trump gets to nominate the next Comptroller General, as the GAO’s leader is termed. Long before there was the Department of Government Efficiency, there was the GAO, which regularly publicly exposes governmental cost overruns and failed policies that squander taxpayer dollars. Congress established the nonpartisan agency in 1921 to audit agencies and help lawmakers root out fraud and rein in the federal deficit. Today, GAO may be best known for its frequent reporting on “improper payments” flowing from executive agencies, which amounted to more than $160 billion last year. The agency’s deep-dive investigations of federal agency operations, such as the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons, often stoke congressional oversight. Trump has made it a policy to bring to heel government watchdogs his administration views as needlessly interfering in matters best left to executive branch officials. Trump has fired or demoted at least 20 inspector generals, whose job it is to uncover illicit doings by executive branch agencies, since returning to office in January. The president also canned the heads of the Office of Government Ethics and the Office of Special Counsel, both of whom set policies aimed at curbing mischief by federal officials. Earlier this year, the White House sought to embed a team of individuals from the DOGE in GAO. The agency rebuffed them and released a letter it sent to DOGE that declared, “GAO is a legislative branch agency that conducts work for Congress. As such, we are not subject to DOGE or Executive Orders.” Repeatedly, the White House has clashed with GAO over its legal opinions faulting various executive agencies for failing to spend congressionally appropriated funds. Last month, for example, Dodaro’s team deemed illegal the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s “withholding, delaying, or effectively precluding the obligation or expenditure of budget authority” for a few disaster mitigation and relief programs. Subsequently, Russ Vought, the head of the president’s Office of Management and Budget, told executive agency heads that GAO’s reports and legal opinions should be considered “non-binding” on them. In September, the clash flared up again. Vought criticized GAO, telling a conference of conservatives, “We are not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity … something that shouldn’t exist.” Dodaro defended his agency in a statement to the media. “Clearly, Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability,” Dodaro said. “GAO’s mission is to support Congress in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities. During my tenure as Comptroller General alone, GAO’s work has saved taxpayers over $1.2 trillion and resulted in tens of thousands of improvements to how federal programs work.” Dodaro’s 15-year term expires on Dec. 29, and Trump quite probably would prefer he be replaced with someone who would call off GAO’s oversight dogs. At first blush, it might appear the president is likely to get his way. The GOP-controlled Senate has shown itself willing to vote for weak or ill-qualified nominees for high positions. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for example, was made the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services despite having little management experience and some crank ideas about health. Yet, a closer look suggests the president may face an uphill battle in the Senate. Republican senators have been willing to deep-six Trump appointees, particularly to low-profile positions. Trump has withdrawn a record high of 48 nominations this year. In recent weeks, they have forced the withdrawal of nominees to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Export-Import Bank, and the Office of Special Counsel. They also appear to be rejecting Trump’s proposed ambassador to Kuwait. Many, if not most, senators value GAO’s work. Unlike, say, communications from lobbyists, interest groups, and their political parties, GAO reports and opinions are factually-based. The agency does not get more money or rewards from helping a legislator understand why fraudsters can rip off the federal SNAP food program. GAO’s value would be greatly diminished if senators approved a new comptroller general who viewed himself as the president’s advocate and defender. Nor does it appear likely that Trump could circumvent the Senate and install an acting head of GAO. The law empowers the GAO deputy director to take over the top position when Dodaro’s term ends, and it requires Congress to form a commission headed by the majority and minority leaders of both chambers to propose potential nominees for the president’s consideration. And not to be forgotten is that Congress rebuffed Trump the last time he attempted this maneuver. This spring, his acting appointees were turned away from the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office, with the support of both Senate and House GOP leaders.)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, the federal government paid 72% of my health insurance premiums. That helped me endure my Democrat superiors’ tremendous efforts to get rid of me. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn the 72% health insurance subsidy a) that I got when I was federal employee, b) that my wife got when she was a federal employee 1968-1970, c) that I will always get as a federal retiree, and d) that my wife has gotten since we got married in 1978 and will always get.

— Reclaiming America’s Story, Before Her 250th Birthday
https://townhall.com/columnists/mark-weaver/2025/11/25/ben-franklin-n2666956
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet, as America nears its 250th birthday, we’re still subjected to revisionist accounts by historians who let personal ideology guide their conclusions. Their accounts drip with presentism, fixating on flaws while ignoring the revolutionary ideals that make us exceptional. Their echo chamber rings with the same off-key refrains about slavery and purported systemic racism. Let’s be clear: to all their shame, nearly every country in the world saw slavery within its borders. Some still do. Yet America is the only major country that ever fought a civil war to end it. Chattel slavery in southern states doesn’t define America; how we ended it — and that we ended it — does. Those who falsely allege systemic racism here ignore our constitutional provisions that guarantee equal protection of the law. It took more than a century for those promises to be kept, but they’ve never been stronger. Instances of racism exist because sin exists, and no country has done as much as America to quell it. Immigrants of every skin color seek to come here because they recognize that racism doesn’t define America — the muscular body of law that redresses individual cases of it does. No nation populated by imperfect humans can ever be perfect, but America stretches closest to that unreachable goal.)

(FROM THE NEWS RELEASE: U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling applauded the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission today for taking action to help prevent discrimination against American workers. The EEOC released new and updated educational materials to reaffirm and emphasize legal protections against national origin discrimination, which can include preferring foreign workers by advertising job openings as only available to H-1B visa holders. The EEOC’s efforts were a result of the department’s recently announced H-1B enforcement initiative Project Firewall, which aims to safeguard the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers. The ongoing project ensures employers prioritize qualified Americans when hiring and includes enforcement actions to hold employers accountable if they abuse the H-1B visa program.)

The Democrats who ran GAO kept off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats.
https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/gao-says-irs-hasnt-implemented-most-their-recommendations-improve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hasn’t implemented most of the Government Accountability Office’s “priority recommendations” and is still struggling with deep-rooted operational problems, according to a new report ( https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-25-108066.pdf ) released publicly this week. “GAO identified 30 priority recommendations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Since then, IRS has implemented five of those recommendations by designating a dedicated unit for addressing business identity theft fraud and assessing how online services may reduce taxpayer burden, among other things,” the GAO said. “In addition, GAO removed one recommendation related to reporting by third-party service providers, because it no longer warrants priority attention.” In a letter to Acting IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro highlighted urgent areas in need of attention, including the widening tax gap, taxpayer services, and cybersecurity. The GAO flagged 26 open high-priority recommendations and 204 other open recommendations that remain unresolved.)
