— Chicago’s labor market is driving migration to the city – Jack Grieve (COMMENT: Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats.

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.)

— As unemployment in the black community climbs, Chicago Democrats hold a job fair for illegals – Olivia Murray (COMMENT: Employment is a zero-sum-game. To hire, promote, and/or retain one person is to not hire, promote, and/or retain another person. 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.”)

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.)

Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college.

Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2023-11-09/adam-kinzingers-new-book-chock-full-of-mclean-county-cameos
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kinzinger’s book begins — literally the Introduction — with his characterization of U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood as a “former moderate” who “raced to the unreasonable Right” and tied himself to “the most unethical and least transparent president in history.” LaHood still represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, and his father, Ray LaHood, was a famously moderate Republican figure. “Darin LaHood is your quintessential average Republican congressman. And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)

— 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.)

I was able to buy a new car in 1966 when I was 17 years old with the money that I earned washing dishes part-time. I was able to pay for my colleges expenses 1966-1970 and buy new cars in 1967 and 1968 with the money that I earned delivering mail part-time.)

— These are the cities people most want to move to — and Chicago is on the list.

— Several Illinois schools listed in Wall Street Journal rankings of best Midwest colleges (COMMENT: From which college(s) did you earn your degree(s)? 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. I volunteered to work for her in 1990 because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. 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. She would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. She would not have done aforesaid if I had not been the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Events celebrating Native American Heritage Month in the Chicago area (COMMENT: Because one of my coworkers was a Native American, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated him far better than they treated me even though he shared many of my bad demographics: male, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, CPA, in a traditional marriage, homeowner, non-poor, Protestant, DuPage County resident, and someone whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he was to the left of me, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had three, he had not taken, let alone passed, the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a licensed CPA or Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.)

— Gun Owners in Illinois Are Now Required to Register Assault Weapons. What Happens if They Don’t? – Amanda Vinicky (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrats will a) publish names and addresses of AR-15-style gun owners who have not registered and b) demand that States Attorneys arrest and charge those owners. What is your State’s Attorney’s position on this? In 1978, IRS officially stated that it audited my education deductions because of requests from readers of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me that painted my deductions as being improper.)
https://news.wttw.com/2023/11/07/gun-owners-illinois-are-now-required-register-assault-weapons-what-happens-if-they-don-t
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The law itself is specific about the penalties that could face gun owners who fail to file affidavits. Failure to file an endorsement affidavit is a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense. A second, or subsequent, violation of the registration requirement would be classified a Class 3 felony. 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.)

My second thought was, ‘How is that going to look?’ ” – Mariah Rush and Michael Loria (COMMENT: Of course, any Chicago run grocery store would suffer very big losses.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— The CPA Exam: How to prepare for new 2024 requirements (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass it on their first attempt. I had been an IRS employee for almost 8 years. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I took the Becker CPA Review. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious because none of my coworkers who they had promoted over me had taken the examination, let alone passed it on their first attempt. All of those who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, and/or had less IRS work experience than I had. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— How to win with a wealth management strategy – Jane Adler (COMMENT: My wife and I got married in 1978. She had worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions of the previous 8 years. We always made saving for our retirement a top priority. We always put the maximums allowed into tax-deferred retirement accounts. We always tried to limit our spending to just one of our paychecks. However, I saved far less for my retirement a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, d) because they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14, e) because they always ranked me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) because they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— ‘DINK’—double income, no kids—couples say being child-free makes them richer and more successful, even if it means putting up with judgement – ELEANOR PRINGLE (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that not only that we never wanted children and that we never tried to have children, but that I lied about trying to have children. They did that even though they had full access to my medical records and they knew all about my many insurance claims for fertility treatments including surgery at Central DuPage Hospital. To punish me because I had requested and gotten assignments to local audits while we were trying to have children, they threw me off audits of IRS in 1989 and assigned me to a 6-month out-of-state audit. All of them were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had adopted, and/or complained about the high cost of raising children. All of them were beyond furious that my wife had a good job and that we went on vacations after her four business trips each year to luxury resorts across America.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Trump Free College Plan Taps ‘Restless Discontent’ Over Higher Ed. The plan to create a national online college is a political nonstarter, experts say, but it capitalizes on concerns about price and politics in higher education. – Katherine Knott (COMMENT: I avoided woke-indoctrination while I earned four college degrees (NIU-1970, Loyola-1976, DePaul-1980, and IIT-1997) because I majored in business, accounting, and finance.)

MARIJUANA MOMENT

POLITICO
— Anti-Defamation League director: 388 percent increase in antisemitism – ANDREW HOWARD (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. Democrats have always blamed Republicans for antisemitism, and they have always especially blamed Republicans like me who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American. Because I am all of the aforesaid, and because I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and have lived in Wheaton since 1978, my Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in painting me as being antisemitic. They had great success in encouraging/forcing my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me.)

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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After Pritzker signed the ban into law, many promised to not comply including his former gubernatorial challenger turned Illinois Congressional District 12 candidate Darren Bailey. 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.)

— 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. Ron DeSantis for the Republican nomination, but to embarrass him in their shared home state. (COMMENT: Who has taken adverse actions against you? I should write about those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the 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. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who I have sued and their lawyers.)

— House Passes Israel Aid Bill Funded by IRS Cuts – Arjun Singh (COMMENT: If I was still working for IRS, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would kill me. 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. To get rid of me, because I refused to become a Democrat and because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— GOP Ties Israel Aid to IRS Cuts, Renewing Fight Over Tax Agency. Republicans take another run at paring back last year’s $80 billion IRS expansion. Richard Rubin (COMMENT: If I was still working for IRS, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would kill me. 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. To get rid of me, because I refused to become a Democrat and because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— 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. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

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.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The following text is in this week’s Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman’s Memo: “We frequently hear that this Memo is not as widely distributed as it should be. Please help us in that regard by forwarding it to your family and friends.” Compare and contrast the articles that IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRCC) draw attention to with the articles that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters draw attention to. I should write about how the following treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and why: a) leaders of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

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. However, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, f) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and g) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. 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. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors enforced up-or-out only for their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 1995, I sat in the House of Representatives listening to 70-year-old Rep. 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?”)

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. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-kinzinger-still-republican_n_6540e179e4b032ae1c9c986d
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. 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.”)

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. 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.)

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/2023/10/23/whats-off-the-table-in-springfield-00122973
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RESOLUTION REPOSE: State lawmakers aren’t expected to vote on any resolutions related to the Middle East during the veto session that starts this week. Taking a position: Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon, both Democrats, are taking the view that state lawmakers should focus on state issues — not what’s happening in another part of the world. Critics, of course, say silence speaks louder than words. Behind the scenes: Welch and Harmon have privately indicated to lawmakers they won’t call any resolutions on the issue. They know that allowing a pro-Israel resolution to pop up would prompt a pro-Palestinian resolution to follow, and vice versa, which could create party chaos as Democrats are split on the issue. The logic: Harmon and Welch want to avoid a repeat of what happened in the Chicago City Council earlier this month that saw rowdy members of the public kicked out of the chambers and aldermen leaving the building in order to avoid going on the record on a resolution supporting Israel. Not to be deterred: Republican Rep. Brad Halbrook and Senate Minority Leader Tony McCombie have offered up resolutions condemning the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel. But with Democrats in charge, those measures aren’t likely to see the light of day.)

— Crushing Dreams of Early Retirement: ‘Bidenomics’ Wreaks Havoc with America’s Soon-To-Be Retirees: Inflation Skyrockets and Savings Plummet (COMMENT: Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, in today’s dollars, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less that what my salary was in 1972.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly use Trump to promote more and more and more hatred against those who share Trump’s demographics: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about RINOs who have had the most success in promoting that hatred in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.

— Hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters call Jorden an extremist. I should write a book about hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters and their operatives and their dupes who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that I am an extremist. I would focus on a) those who ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship and destroyed TAPROOT in 2012 and b) those who ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee role and destroyed ICRC in 2007.

— To keep their jobs and to get promoted, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on destroying their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, and especially those who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. By way of dramatic contrast, to keep my job and to get promoted, I focused on a) doing my job, b) maintaining and improving my job skills by earning job-related college degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license, and c) being active in job-related professional associations. I earned job-related college degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. I was very active in a job-related professional association while was 34-47.
