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.)

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. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. 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. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

Further, I got almost 3 years of federal seniority and unused sick leave restored that I had earned working for the Post Office 1966-1969.)

— The left points to free speech platforms to distract from its own antisemitism – Tim Murtaugh (COMMENT: I should write about antisemitism in GAO’s Chicago office. In 1990, to retaliate against me for being the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. Because of the widespread antisemitism in the office, I got my second choice for group assignment – the group that audited federal financial industry regulators. Virtually none of my coworkers wanted to work for the Jewish woman who led that group. She was a GS-15, currently $152,527-$183,500/year. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago. She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was demanding. She was wealthy. She was attractive. She wanted all those who worked for her to have master’s degrees in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I got her appointed to IIT’s board of advisors for that program. But nevertheless, in September of 1997, she led GAO’s success effort to force me to take early retirement. She gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If the last couple of months have shown us anything about American politics it’s that there’s a sizeable antisemitism problem in the Democratic Party, which has been exposed and highlighted as the party fractures over the Israel-Hamas war. Some Democrats in Congress openly side with Hamas, the terrorist organization which launched a brutal assault on Israeli civilian targets on October 7. Hundreds of Democrat staffers on Capitol Hill, somehow under the impression that their opinions matter, have demanded that their bosses support a “ceasefire,” which is a different way of saying that Israel must simply absorb all Hamas attacks. Dozens of leftist agitators have laid siege to Democratic National Committee headquarters, demanding that the Biden administration side with Hamas as well. And you probably can’t be a member of the College Democrats these days unless you’ve recently marched in a protest against Israel. There is indeed an antisemitism problem in this country, and the loudest voices are coming from within the Democratic Party. It’s not surprising, then, that the political left wants to change the focus and accuse someone else of being anti-Jew for a while.)

— One Million More Jews Will Move To Israel, Israeli Official Predicts – Hank Berrien (COMMENT: Are people who disapprove of your demographics moving into your county, your township, your municipality, your school district, and/or your precinct? If so, have you considered moving because of that? If so, where have you considered moving to? Republicans create prosperity and safety. Democrats create poverty and crime. Anticipate/expect that Democrats will move into Republican areas to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. That is increasingly happening in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct. I should wire a book about that. The Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The aforesaid create poverty and crime.)

Aaron Zitner (COMMENT: From what I see, achieving the American Dream for those who share my demographics is ever-increasingly difficult if not impossible because of ever-increasingly preference being given to those who do not share my demographics, that is, because of ever-increasing discrimination against those who share my demographics. Ever-increasingly, colleges are under pressure to admit and employers are under pressure to hire, retain, and promote those who are liberal, Democrat, minority, female, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and/or citizens of foreign countries.)

Of course, they got rid of a) the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and b) the GAO manager who promoted me in 1986. I should write a book about that.)

ECONOMIST
— What survey data reveal about antisemitism in America (COMMENT: I should write about antisemitism in GAO’s Chicago office. In 1990, to retaliate against me for being the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. Because of the widespread antisemitism in the office, I got my second choice for group assignment – the group that audited federal financial industry regulators. Virtually none of my coworkers wanted to work for the Jewish woman who led that group. She was a GS-15, currently $152,527-$183,500/year. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago. She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was demanding. She was wealthy. She was attractive. She wanted all of those who worked for her to have a master’s degree in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I got her appointed to IIT’s board of advisors for that program. But nevertheless, in September of 1997, she led GAO’s success effort to force me to take early retirement. She gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. She would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/11/22/tucker-carlson-issues-a-grim-warning-for-the-us-in-2024-n2631558
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tucker Carlson is issuing a grave warning for the United States in 2024 as the presidential election looms. While speaking at the Risk On 360! Global Success Conference in Las Vegas, Carlson painted a grim picture of what the election year may bring as he revealed his concerns about the deepening division and paranoia among Americans. The 2024 election will be “like nothing we’ve ever seen,” Carlson said amid the promising look that former President Trump will be the GOP nominee— something the Democratic Party has fought long and hard to prevent. Examining the current political and cultural landscape, the conservative commentator said that there is no positive outcome in the U.S. of the progressive Leftist policies that have brainwashed and plagued millions of Americans. “There is no upside to the great trends of our age. There’s no upside to pushing transgenderism on kids. Period. None. Not for the kid, not for the society at large, not for the parents who will never have grandchildren,” Carlson said. The ominous warning Carlson gave should send shivers down every American’s spine. Alluding that the U.S. will push past its limits during the next election cycle, he urged people to stay strong and continue to speak the truth even when it is polarizing or difficult.)

— Macy’s Hit by Legal Action Before Thanksgiving Day Parade – Khaleda Rahman (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination. and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/macy-s-hit-by-legal-action-before-thanksgiving-day-parade/ar-AA1klucy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative legal group headed by Stephen Miller, a former White House advisor to Donald Trump, has accused Macy’s of implementing a racially discriminatory diversity plan. America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday, according to a press release. The complaint alleges Macy’s is “intentionally and systemically” violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s prohibition on race discrimination, citing a five-point diversity plan that the retailer released in 2019. Newsweek has contacted Macy’s for comment via email. This article will be updated if a response is received. Macy’s plan instructed management to achieve “more ethnic diversity by 2025 at senior director level and above, with a goal of 30 percent,” and create a 12-month program to “designed to strengthen leadership skills for a selected group of top-talent managers and directors of Black/African-American, Hispanic-Latinx, Native American and Asian descent,” the group said in its letter to the EEOC. AFL alleged that Macy’s quotas are “patently illegal” and that the retailer “has only reinforced its commitments to recruitment and hiring policies that likely violate federal law” in the past year. In the letter, AFL asked EEOC to file a “commissioner charge” against Macy’s. Such charges, which can be filed by any of the five members of the agency’s leadership panel, are relatively rare, with only 29 filed in the 2022 fiscal year, up from only 3 in each of the previous two years. AFL also sent a letter to Macy’s chairman and board of directors, writing it was alerting them to “apparent mismanagement that threatens the waste of company assets, institutional disregard for and violations of federal civil rights laws, and breaches of fiduciary duty.” Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions in June, AFL appears to have increasingly taken aim at corporate diversity efforts. AFL has filed complaints with the EEOC about a number of major U.S. companies, including Starbucks, McDonald’s and Anheuser-Busch, which are among those that that it has designated as “woke corporations” on its website. The EEOC has not responded to the group’s claim that diversity, equity and inclusion efforts violate Title VII. AFL shared details of the complaint on X, formerly Twitter, saying Americans should know that Macy’s “appears to maintain politicize that perpetuate illegal racial discrimination—denying career advancement to white straight men” before tuning into Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade or going Black Friday shopping. “Macy’s own public-facing materials all but acknowledge that they are engaging in personnel practices that violate federal law,” John A. Zadrozny, AFL deputy director of oversight and investigations, said in a statement. “Because of this, Macy’s is now going to have to explain to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission why they have chosen to become a civil rights violator. It is our hope that Macy’s takes this opportunity to correct its unlawful and egregious conduct as soon as possible.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— James ‘Pate’ Philip, former Illinois Senate President who once symbolized suburban Republicanism, dies – Rick Pearson
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-james-pate-philip-news-obituary-20231122-4w267fomfrd43dxn3itqcbjnxa-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: James Peyton Philip was a symbol of Chicago suburban political growth in the post-World War II era of white flight from the city, a hulking, cigar chomping retired Marine who helped build a Republican firewall against Chicago’s Democratic domination as Illinois Senate president for a decade. Philip, 93, known most commonly in Illinois statehouse politics by the nickname “Pate,” died Tuesday night at his home in Wood Dale after a short illness, with his wife of 46 years, Nancy, at his side. No cause of death was given. Philip served for 36 years in the Illinois General Assembly, eight in the Illinois House before moving to the state Senate, where he served for 28 years and climbed the ladder of leadership to become Senate president in 1993. He remained president for a decade before retiring in 2003 after Democrats gained control of the chamber. His tenure marked him as the longest serving Republican Senate president. “’Pate’ was very loyal to his members. I mean, he would really do whatever it took that he thought to help them get reelected. And of all the leaders, he probably was the most committed to the rank and file,” said former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, who served from 1991 to 1999. “The other thing about ‘Pate’ that I always thought was interesting is that there were certain things he really believed in and that’s what he’s going to do. The politics didn’t bother him as much as (it might for) somebody now,” Edgar said. Philip’s public comments could be crude and considered racist, often directed at Chicago, yet it reflected the characteristics of the white gentrified DuPage County of the 1960s and 1970s where he began to amass political power locally. He was first elected as York Township auditor in 1965 and was president of the Illinois Young Republicans the same year before his election to the Illinois House. Upon Republicans gaining the Senate majority in the 1992 redistricting year in which the GOP had won the rights to redraw Illinois’ legislative political boundaries in a drawing, Philip as Senate president-elect had what was the only large-scale news conference of his public career. Asked by a reporter about his attitude toward bilingual education amid increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the state, Philip bluntly responded, “Let ‘em learn English.” He lamented additional state funding for Chicago schools as “pouring money down a rat hole.” In the midst of a budget standoff with the still-Democratic controlled Illinois House in his first year as Senate president, Philip said he didn’t want to increase welfare benefits to poor people because they would use the money to “buy more lottery tickets.” He long posited that suburbanites helped subsidize lower-income residents of Chicago without getting their fair share of state tax dollars and labeled city residents as “eaters.” He fought efforts to require auto emission testing requirements in the suburbs because, he said, suburbanites drive newer cars. “I guess I’m not politically correct, but I never have tried to be politically correct,” Philip said after criticism over his remarks. At times, Philip resembled the outlandishness of Archie Bunker, the bigoted fictional “All In The Family” TV character of the 1970s in using rhetorical stereotypes to play to his white suburban constituency. A TV news anchor, new to Chicago, pronounced his name “Pâté,” the food most often made of liver, which political opponents used to mock him. But Philip, who retired as a district sales manager for Pepperidge Farm Inc. after 38 years, was a formidable politician who engendered loyalty from his Republican members and begrudging respect from Democrats for living up to the unwritten creed that his word was his bond. And as Senate president, one of the top four leaders in the Illinois legislature, and as DuPage County GOP chairman for more than 30 years, he was able to steer massive amounts of tax dollars, particularly in infrastructure, to the vast growing suburbs and enhance their role in Illinois’ economy, such as the creation of the North-South Tollway. “’Pate’ Philip was a giant in Illinois, DuPage and political life,” said former state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Downers Grove, a former DuPage County GOP chair who now chairs the Regional Transportation Authority. “It’s important that people understand that he came out of a different era than today’s politics,” Dillard said in a statement. “‘Pate’ Philip loved Illinois. What he should probably be most remembered for was his honor, patriotism and integrity. His word was his bond to allies as well as political opponents. He was truly one of a kind. His death marks the end of an era in Illinois.” Philip was a staunch gun-rights advocate, which led to a showdown in 1999 between himself and then-Gov. George Ryan over efforts by the governor and backed by then-Mayor Richard M. Daley to reinstate a court-overturned law that made illegal possession of a firearm a felony. After months, an agreement was reached that gave prosecutors discretion in prosecuting the offense. Philip also led the fight against Daley’s effort to create a third Chicago airport at Lake Calumet and led opposition in Hegewisch, which would have been demolished. Daley folded his third airport plan as a result. In March of 1989, while serving as leader of the Republican minority in the Illinois Senate, Philip told Illinois Issues magazine that he understood the perception most people have toward politicians. “Most people look down on politicians. I would say if you ask them the professions they distrust they’d say used car salesmen, bartenders, pimps and politicians,” he said. “I would hope people in my district have a better opinion of me.” Philip attended York Community High School in Elmhurst, Kansas City Junior College, and Kansas State College. He was drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps at the start of the Korean War and served from 1951 to 1953. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, four children and nine grandchildren. His family said that at Philip’s request, no services will be held and burial will be private.)

I should write a book about that.)

(COMMENT: Government is vicious. Politics is vicious. Democrats are vicious. During the 1980s, my Democrat GAO superiors viciously demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying in vitro fertilization. According to our doctor, success would have been extremely unlikely because we both had fertility problems — with her eggs and my sperm.)

The aforesaid promote poverty and crime.

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. My father almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, most often playing the piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs in Park Forest, and working in an A&W in Steger.)

— Chicago community organization serves as real-life example of healing power of foster care – SUZANNE LE MIGNOT (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1987, 1988, and 1989 and used as a pretext my wife and I having given up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to punish me big time. 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. I would focus on those who constructively demoted me in 1989 by assigned me to a bad 6-month out-of-town audit and by giving me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal. Better yet, I should sue them.)

https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/this-illinois-city-is-growing-but-these-7-are-shrinking-analysis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here in Illinois, only Joliet experienced growth over the last five years, albeit meager. According to SmartAsset, the city’s population grew from 147,150 in 2017 to 147,696, a less than 1% increase. . .It wasn’t all growth across Illinois, though (more than 344,000 residents did leave the state last year). According to SmartAsset’s analysis, seven Illinois cities saw their populations decrease between 2017 and 2022. The hardest hit was Aurora, which saw a 10% decrease in population over the analyzed time frame. Nearby Elgin’s population decreased by just over 4%, while Peoria saw a 5.5% dip in population. Naperville saw the lowest decrease, losing only about 80 residents between 2017 and 2022. Others shrank by less than 2%: Springfield (-1.2%), Rockford (-1.7%) and Chicago (-1.9%).)

(COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrat leaders will ever-increasingly send their illegals to your county, to your township, to your municipality, to your school district, to your neighborhood, and to your block. Will they send their illegals to residences of registered Democrats? If so, what will those registered Democrats have those illegals do? Walk their dogs? Clean up after their dogs? Take care of their children? Teach their children how to speak, read, and write Spanish? Buy groceries? Cook and serve meals? Wash dishes and clothes? Rake leaves? Shovel snow? Clean bathrooms? Take out the garbage? Will the formula be one illegal for each registered Democrat in the residence? Of course, nearby RINO employers will replace their employees who are citizens of America with illegals and pay them way less.)

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. All of my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or fewer professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications. None of them had a job-related professional license like I had.

— Biden FCC Moves to Put New DEI Controls Over Internet – Eric Mack
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fcc-joe-biden-dei/2023/11/20/id/1142976/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Despite admitting there’s ‘little to no evidence’ of discrimination by telecommunications companies, Democrats are hoping to convince the American people that broadband Internet is so racist they need to plow ahead with government-mandated affirmative action and race-based pricing,” Cruz wrote in a statement. “The only beneficiaries of this Orwellian ‘equity’ plan are overzealous government regulators who want to control the Internet.” Cruz had led 27 Senate Republicans’ letter to Rosenworcel warning against the vote later last week to authorize the Biden DEI initiative at the FCC, but she ignored it, his office lamented. “Your Draft Order, which largely follows a Biden administration diktat, will create crippling uncertainty for the U.S. broadband industry, chill broadband investment, and undermine Congress’ objective of promoting broadband access for all Americans,” the letter read. “We urge you to adhere to the will of Congress and conform to the plain meaning of section 60506 to avoid causing serious damage to the competitive and innovative U.S. broadband industry.”)

— Decertification is an underused lever for Chicago police accountability – Carlton T. Mayers II (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors did far more than decertify me. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously they a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for their pay-for-performance purposes, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, c) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, d) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, e) assigned me to work for, to work with, and to supervise their most problematic employees, f) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, and g) forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, that is, to take a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They flushed the following down their toilet: a) my job-related professional license (CPA-1981), my six job-related professional certifications (Forensic Accountant-1997, Financial Services Auditor-1996, Government Financial Manager-1994, Fraud Examiner-1990, Internal Auditor-1981, and CPA-1979), b) my three job-related master’s degrees (IIT-finance-1997, DePaul-accounting-1980, and Loyola-business-1976), and my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

— Can an employer sue a worker for leaving a bad review of the company? (COMMENT: From the beginning, my Democrat GAO superiors treated me like they wanted me to sue them, which is what I eventually did. They forced me to suffer a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. The delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. IRS had promoted me to GS-11 in 1973 and to GS-12 in 1974. 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 when I was 49 years old. They would not have taken the aforesaid actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. The way that they treated me sent a very strong message to those who share my demographics to not work for GAO. SEE: Diersen v. GAO at: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )

— Chicago felon with armed robbery convictions still has 2nd Amendment rights and cannot be charged for possessing firearm, judge rules – CORTNEY WEIL (COMMENT: When my lawsuit against GAO was transferred from Washinton DC to Chicago in 2000, it was assigned to Judge Gettleman. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.theblaze.com/news/felon-with-armed-robbery-convictions-still-has-2nd-amendment-rights-and-cannot-be-charged-for-possessing-firearm-judge-rules

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Price, now 37, had already been convicted of felony armed robbery three times in the past, federal law prohibited him from owning a gun. So officers charged Price with possessing a firearm as a felon, a federal statute with a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years. On November 2, however, the federal case against Price was dismissed after U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, a Clinton appointee, determined that the statute prohibiting felons from possessing firearms was unconstitutional. That law “imposes a far greater burden on the right to keep and bear arms than the historical categorical exclusions from the people’s Second Amendment right,” Gettleman wrote in the 22-page decision.)

— An Old Hate Cracks Open on the New Right – David French (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me as being an antisemite. They stressed to my many Jewish superiors and supervisors that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

WASHINGTON POST
— New college grads are more likely to be unemployed in today’s job market. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is higher than for the general population in an unusual shift. – Abha Bhattarai (COMMENT: When I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management, I took the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. But I soon learned that job did not require a college degree and that advancement was way too slow. Seven months after I started, my boss still had me installing tires, changing oil and filters, installing batteries, delivering major appliances, pumping gasoline, and cleaning the store’s showroom while it was open. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile to be a liaison between its factories and its dealers. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for my accepting that offer. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

Asked how many close friends they have, about half of Americans say three or fewer, according to a 2021 survey. The British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, drawing on studies of the brain sizes of humans and other primates, estimates a person can only maintain about 150 relationships. The so-called Dunbar number, he has said, “applies to quality relationships, not to acquaintances.” A Pew Research study found adults on Facebook had an average of 338 friends on the site.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20231117/whats-behind-the-surge-in-deadly-crashes-involving-drugged-drivers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois has a drugged driving problem, and it began well before the legalization of recreational marijuana in 2020. That’s among the key findings of a new analysis of the state’s crash statistics and a driver survey conducted by AAA — The Auto Club Group. According to the data, the number of drivers involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for drugs grew from 235 in 2013 to 418 in 2021, a 78% hike. 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. Experts attribute the increase to a number of causes, from easier access to recreational drugs to a lack of driver education about the effects of drugs on their abilities behind the wheel.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago’s labor market is driving migration to the city – Jack Grieve (COMMENT: Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor. RINO leaders hate unions and have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. 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.)

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.”)

— Republican FDIC Board Members Call for Broader Oversight of Allegations of Harassment and Discrimination at Agency – Rebecca Ballhaus (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. Democrats run GAO. Democrats run FDIC. The Democrats who run GAO audit the Democrats who run FDIC. During the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators including FDIC. The Democrats who ran GAO did not want me to work on audits of federal agencies. They wasted my career and they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Diversity And The Tax Bar – Sanessa Griffiths (COMMENT: In 1978, in Diersen v. IRS, the Small Claims Tax Court Judge allowed my graduate Loyola business courses, but disallowed my graduate DePaul accounting courses by creating a new rule that accounting courses cannot be deducted until you have met the requirements to take the CPA examination.)

— Biden Supports UAW’s Push To Unionize All U.S. Auto Workers – RHIAN HUNT (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hate unions. They have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. 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.)
