CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS — Illinois is the lowest-ranking state in the country for Black wealth, employment – Donna Rolando (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrats GAO superiors did something about that.

FOX NEWS — Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action ruling excludes military academies. – Andrew Mark Miller (COIMMENT: The arguments to exclude military academies include arguments to exclude all government employers. Many, if not most, if not virtually everyone believe that governments are and should be the employers of last resort, that is, government employers should take those who are not good enough for employment in the private sector. I should write a book about that. I would focus on those who have a low opinion of if not despise/hate past, present, and future government employees, and especially federal employees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I would focus on those who despise/hate past, present, and future federal employees and who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

Supreme Court ruling rejected use of race as a factor in college admissions. – Haley Chi-Sing (COMMENT: To give more preference to Democrats, Democrats ever-increasingly replace objectivity with subjectivity. GAO hired me in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 only because the agencies could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or someone whose ancestor had not been in America for a long time who would take the job.) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-lawmaker-aims-block-colleges-using-personality-tests-wake-supreme-court-affirmative-action-ruling — Media peddles narrative SCOTUS web designer free speech ruling is ‘blow’ to LGBTQ rights: ‘This is false’ Critics slammed outlets for their framing of a Christian web designer refusing to make same-sex wedding websites. – Joseph A.

TOWNHALL — Supreme Court Ends the Last Vestige of ‘Systemic Racism’ in America – Josh Hammer (COMMENT: Affirmative Action (AA) is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write a book about that. Democrats ever-increasingly use AA to get rid of Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) https://townhall.com/columnists/joshhammer/2023/06/30/supreme-court-ends-the-last-vestige-of-systemic-racism-in-america-n2625166

Ramaswamy lauds the vote for ‘meritocracy over race-based preferences.’ (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote race and gender based preference giving, that is, they promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, they promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that is, they reject meritocracy. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.

NEWSWEEK — Democrats stress that Yale accepted Clarence Thomas because of its Affirmative Action policy. GAO works for Congress. In Diersen v. GAO, GAO constructively argued that GAO treated me exactly like Congress wanted GAO to treat me, that is, to take adverse actions against me because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and especially because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-clarence-thomas-go-yale-under-affirmative-action-policy-1810180
NBC NEWS — Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/migrants-us-mexico-border-swelter-unforgiving-texas-arizona-heat-rcna92045 — To get more votes from minorities and from females, Democrats ever-increasingly shout at them that they continue to need Affirmative Action to overcome continuing Republican discrimination against them. I should write a book about the tremendous preference a) that my Democrat superiors in the federal government gave them and b) that the following continue to give them: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization and b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to curry favor with minorities and with females. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/affirmative-action-advocates-fear-students-color-elite-colleges-may-fe-rcna92090 — Democrats say that “Asian American low-income, community college students feel unheard in affirmative action debate. In California, the state with the highest population of the racial group, 41% of Asian American freshmen in 2020 enrolled at community colleges.” Since 1966 when I was 18 years old and got accepted by UIC, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my parents were filthy rich. They would not have done that if I had applied at, had been accepted by, and had attended Prairie State College instead of UIC. SEE: https://prairiestate.edu/ I got accepted by UIC because I graduated in upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and because my ACT score was 24.) https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/asian-american-low-income-community-college-students-feel-unheard-affi-rcna92058

GOPUSA ILLINOIS — From the beginning, Democrats used Affirmative Action (AA) to get rid of Republicans. Ever-increasingly, RINOs used AA to get rid of Republicans. Because Democrats and RINOs reject the Supreme Court ruling and because they reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, they will continue to use Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about how Democrats and RINOs have used AA and DEI to get rid of Republicans. I would use as examples how my Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to get rid of Republicans. I would use as examples how the following used AA and DEI to get rid of Republicans: a) RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce. I would focus on the aforesaid who have benefited the most from AA and DEI, that is, those who have benefitted the most from patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I support the equal opportunity plank. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS — How has Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) been used against you, that is, how have you been made to pay the price of AA and DEI? All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger and who had less job-related work experience than I had, less job-related education than I had, and/or fewer professional certifications and licenses than I had. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave them preferred job assignments, easier to meet performance expectations, inflated performance appraisals, bigger pay increases, and bonuses. I should write a book about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS — Generally, to become an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman, officer, or an IRP State Central Committee member, you have to have successfully served as a Republican county party chairman. Generally, to become a Republican county party chairman, you have to have successfully served as a Republican township/ward party chairman. Generally, to be a Republican township/ward party chairman, you have to have successfully served as a Republican township/ward party vice chairman, secretary, and/or treasurer. To be a Republican township/ward party officer, you have to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain. How much preference has your Republican township/ward party organization given to its Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains who are minority, female, and/or younger? Those who are minority, female, and/or younger are more likely, if not far more likely, to reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the preference that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) has given since 2000 to its Republican Precinct Committeemen who are minority, female, and/or younger. I would focus on those MTRO chairmen who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me including a) rudely discouraging me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, b) rudely discouraging MTRO Republican Precinct Committeemen from reading my newsletters, c) rudely hinting/implying/arguing/shouting that I have caused all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, d) rudely twice terminating me as MTRO webmaster, e) rudely gerrymandering my precinct, f) rudely ending my bids to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy and to serve as MTRO Treasurer, and g) rudely discouraging MTRO Precinct Committeemen from becoming members of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and from attending TAPROOT and ICRC events. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS — What have you done to defend and advance the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, what have you done to fight political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination? I increasingly complained about the aforesaid while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. In 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid. My attorney filed Diersen v. GAO in 1998. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf I served as the Treasurer of Adversity.net SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adversity.net In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for accepting that offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS — Those who discriminate against those who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time use pretexts to hide their discrimination. I should write a book about those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and who use pretexts to hide their discrimination against those who are the aforesaid. Of course, I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
LEGAL INSURRECTION — Supreme Court: Harvard and UNC Affirmative Action “invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” Chief Justice Roberts for the 6-3 majority: “The race-based admissions systems that respondents employ also fail to comply with the twin commands of the Equal Protection Clause that race may never be used as a “negative” and that it may not operate as a stereotype” and a “student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual—not on the basis of race.” – William A.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS — Democrats say Rep. Quigley says “Partisan gap is so wide the U.S. could become ungovernable.” Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) use government to get rid of Republicans once and for all. https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/mike-quigley-warns-us-could-become-ungovernable — Democrats say “Chicago’s affordable housing gap widens.” Back in the good old days, in 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building while I continued to own a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I could afford to do that because of my $92,279/year IRS salary in today’s dollars. My IRS salary had also enabled me to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972 and to own a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. Because of promotions, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary had increased from $52,022/year in 1971 to $63,633/year in 1972 to $76.990/year in 1973 to $92,279/year in 1974. Ever since then, my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as having been promoted too fast and therefore being grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. 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.) https://www.chicagobusiness.com/commercial-real-estate/chicagos-affordable-housing-gap-widens

Adults exposing themselves to random children on the street is de jure illegal; those who do so are criminals who should receive a prison sentence and a spot on the sex offender registry. Until a few years ago, this was the obvious and unspoken consensus across America. No discussion on the issue was needed; perverts who waved their genitals at children went to jail and were viewed with scorn for the rest of their lives. Very little discussion was had on the issue, and no indecent exposure laws were really changed, but America finds itself in a place where proudly flashing a crowd full of children has been de facto legalized.)

INDEPENDENT WOMEN’S FORUM — Bidenomics Hit Families With A $5,600 Pay Cut. Due to the ravages of inflation, average family income dropped sharply in the past 30 months. – Carrie Sheffield (COMMENT: Have you suffered a pay cut? I have. GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I should write a book about my decision in 1980 when I was 31 years old to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583/year) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720/year), to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. The GAO Chicago Office Staff manager (Bill) who arranged for my transfer assured me that under him, GAO would a) quickly promote me to GS-11 Step 10 (currently $100,084/year), b) quickly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and c) quickly promote me to GS 13. But immediately after I transferred, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago Office replaced Bill with a Democrat Staff Manager (Dave) who was extremely anti-Republican, if not a Republican-hater.) https://www.iwf.org/2023/06/28/bidenomics-hit-families-with-a-5600-pay-cut/

I did yard work and delivered newspapers in Crete during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964. I washed dishes in Chicago Heights during the summer of 1965. I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights during the summer of 1966. I delivered mail in Park Forest during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.

Cops arrested three adults for aggravated battery to a peace officer, a felony. The arrestees did not appear for a bond hearing on Monday, so they will likely be in court on Tuesday afternoon. Seven adults were arrested for reckless conduct, six for misdemeanor battery, two for criminal damage to property, and one was taken in on a warrant, according to the CPD spokesperson. Two adults were charged with unlawful use of a weapon.)
WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Chicago Children’s hospital promotes sex ed material that you have to see to believe – Hudson Crozier (COMMENT: How successful have Democrats been in turning children into sexually active LGBTQers in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district?) https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/childrens-hospital-promotes-sex-ed-material-that-you-have-to-see-to-believe (FROM THE ARTICLE: Just when you thought the “progressive” dystopia of Chicago, Illinois, couldn’t get any worse with exceedingly high crime and expenses, local school districts are paying a children’s hospital thousands of taxpayer dollars to help teach children about gender confusion and “inclusive sexual health.” At least, that’s what the hospital calls it. Lurie Children’s Hospital, a top-ranked facility in the state, is providing “question-and-answer workshop[s],” seminars, and other services for LGBT-related lessons, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller.

HOT AIR — Almost everyone hates what’s happening. Too few want it to change. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2023/06/26/almost-everyone-hates-whats-happening-too-few-want-it-to-change-n560674 (FROM THE ARTICLE: If you happen to live in the United States (and several other nations, frankly), you’ve probably noticed that things seem to be increasingly going to hell in a handbasket lately. Floods of illegal aliens are being flown and bussed all over the country. The sidewalks in many cities are impassable because of massive homeless encampments littered with drug addicts who are, in some cases, literally overdosing right out on the street. Parking your car at the curb for more than three minutes in many urban areas while running errands is basically a sign that you really wanted to get a new car anyway. If you’re lucky enough to somehow find a public school where any of the children can read at grade level, the staff will probably start trying to trans your kid as soon as you pull out from the parking lot. And overseas, our former partners and allies appear to be abandoning America in droves. It’s not just your imagination. And with all of this going on, it’s no wonder that the numbers in the latest NBC News survey on the state of the nation look so dismal. When asked if the country is currently on the right track or wrong track, a shocking 74% said we were going in the wrong direction. They somehow managed to locate one in five who said that things are going well, but I assume none of them live in Chicago or San Francisco. (NY Post))

NBC NEWS & REUTERS & YAHOO — Democrats say “Slavery’s descendants: America’s family secret. More than 100 U.S. leaders — lawmakers, presidents, governors and justices — have slaveholding ancestors, a Reuters examination found. Few are willing to talk about it.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my ancestors were slave owners. Better yet, I should sue them. While all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/slaverys-descendants-americas-family-secret-rcna90826 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/more-than-100-us-political-leaders-have-ancestors-who-were-slaveholders-2023-06-27/ https://news.yahoo.com/more-100-u-political-leaders-102244558.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: They include some of the most influential politicians in America: Republican senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, and Democrats Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth and Jeanne Shaheen. In addition, Reuters determined that President Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president — except Donald Trump — are direct descendants of slaveholders: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and — through his white mother’s side — Barack Obama. Two of the nine sitting U.S. Supreme Court justices — Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch — also have direct ancestors who enslaved people.)

Leutkehans clarified anything, community members clarified much—and it was all good, very good. As an interesting aside, Leutkehans’ law partner is none other than the arrogant RINO Pat Brady, disgraced former Illinois Republican Party chairman who, before Illinois legalized same-sex “marriages,” skulked around Springfield secretly trying to convince Republicans to vote in favor of the law that recognizes non-marital unions as marriages. Once ousted from his position as chairman, the ACLU hired him to lobby Republicans to support same-sex faux-marriage.)

Starbucks’s chief executive defended the company’s commitment to the LGBTQ community and suggested advocates for the union were wrongly exploiting the situation. The company apologized to customers inconvenienced by the strikes and encouraged them to search for an operating cafe on its app. “We strongly disapprove of any person or group, seeking to use our partners’ cultural and heritage celebrations to create harm or flagrantly advance misinformation for self-interested-goals,” said CEO Laxman Narasimhan in an internal company message.

BARRON’S — Democrats say “Only Half of People Stay Employed Through Their 50s. How to Prepare.” The Democrats who run the federal government do everything that they can to force federal employees who are Republican to retire as soon as they are eligible, and especially Republican employees like me who are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I was not eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 years old in 2003. In 1997, I had been working for GAO on audits of federal financial institutions since 1990. In late 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” I should write a book about that. In early 1997, I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and I became a Forensic Accountant. In 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor. In 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager. In 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. In 1980, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1979, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1976, I earned an MBA from Loyola. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my 1997 GAO salary was in today’s dollars and b) less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars. https://www.barrons.com/articles/working-laid-off-50s-career-c527713d

On June 15, the zoo shared a message of support for Pride Month on its Facebook page. “June is #pride month. Our animals have been enjoying some rainbow enrichment in celebration,” the post stated. “Cosley Zoo is proud to be a safe and welcoming place for families all year!” The post included photos of zoo animals with pride-themed decorative items. Former Illinois state Rep. Jeanne Ives also criticized the zoo in a tweet on June 15. “Wheaton Park District is hiding behind court cases (wrongly, as actual statutory law conflicts) to allow use of locker rooms based on gender identity,” Ives wrote in the tweet. “Essentially saying the courts made them do it. Did the courts make them turn family-friendly Cosley Zoo into a sexual preference promotion site? Utter Lunacy!” Cosley Zoo is home to farm animals and native wildlife. Visitors can explore numerous exhibits that immerse them in natural habitats for white-tailed deer, red fox, Blanding’s turtles, a coyote, and more, according to the zoo’s website. The zoo is also a center for animal education and conservation, offering programs that teach young and old how to care for the world around them and give back to the communities in which they live, work, and play, the zoo’s website states. The zoo is part of the Wheaton Park District.)

Last May, the DuPage County Board failed to adopt precinct maps in compliance with an election law signed by the governor in November 2021, instructing counties to reduce (INCREASE?) the size of their election precincts to about 1,200 voters each in response to the shift to early and voting by mail. In 2020, nearly a third of DuPage County voters cast ballots through the mail. “I will be a no vote,” board member James Zay, R-Carol-Stream, said Tuesday. “I think the state law, which ultimately gives us 20 to 30 less polling places on Election Day … will disenfranchise some voters.” Voting in DuPage County is unique. Last June the DuPage County Clerk’s Office extended its “vote anywhere” program indefinitely, allowing eligible voters to cast their ballot at any polling place in the county. “I think the word disenfranchisement is perhaps not applicable here because you are now able to go anywhere which expands your voting opportunities” county board member Mary Ozog said.) — Democrats ever-increasingly push America toward Marxism and communism. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-trump-gop-attacks-20230619-xdpy2pwkmzdcbpomk5appf4u4m-story.html — Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-editorial-healthcare-undocumented-refugees-chicago-20230620-vi4aqp6hobfa3h5drt2x6lhfim-story.html

SB 602 gives Border Patrol agents who complete certain training the powers of a Texas peace officer to arrest and conduct search and seizure at ports of entry or at Border Patrol checkpoints. SB 1133 compensates landowners up to $75,000 for damages to agricultural land caused by an individual committing a “border crime.” SB 1403 creates an interstate compact without Congressional authority to allow participating states’ law enforcement agencies to share resources and intelligence for purposes of border enforcement. SB 1484 enhances the Department of Public Safety (DPS) training for border operations by creating a training program (which includes training on cartel-related activity as well as the best tactics to address border crimes) for peace officers employed by local law enforcement agencies. SB 1900 designates drug cartels and other similar groups as “foreign terrorist organizations” (FTOs) under state law and adds them to the organized crime offenses. It adds higher penalties for criminal activity associated with FTOs and allows local entities to seek public nuisance claims against them.)
JONATHAN TURLEY — The Berkeley Files: Faculty Applicants Were Ranked on Their Support for DEI Policies and Practices (COMMENT: Constructively, ever-increasingly, under the Democrats, and under the RINOs, everyone in America is ranked on their support for DEI. The lower that your DEI ranking is, the faster that Democrats and RINOs get rid of you. My DEI ranking is extremely low a) because I support the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, because I oppose reverse discrimination and b) because I oppose age discrimination. Those who are involved in Republican politics to get more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, and/or LGBTQ work extremely hard against me. I should write a book about them. 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 have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently.) https://jonathanturley.org/2023/06/19/the-berkeley-files-university-downgraded-faculty-candidates-who-did-not-support-dei-policies-and-practices/comment-page-1/
FORBES — Democrats say “Why More Workers Are Making Gutsy Career Moves.” GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I should write a book about my decision in 1980 when I was 31 years old to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583/year) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720/year), to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. The GAO Chicago Office Staff manager (Bill) who arranged for my transfer assured me that under him, GAO would a) quickly promote me to GS-11 Step 10 (currently $100,084/year), b) quickly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and c) quickly promote me to GS 13. But immediately after I transferred, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago Office replaced Bill with a Democrat Staff Manager (Dave) who was extremely anti-Republican, if not a Republican-hater. To delay my promotions, that is, to get me, Dave used Affirmative Action and up-or-out a) to give me bad job assignments, b) to give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) to assign me to supervise the office’s most problematic employees, d) to turn all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, and e) to kept me off audits of IRS. But then, in 1986, because Dave had gone on extended sick leave, Bill was finally able to get me assigned to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But then, in 1987, Dave came back and a) threatened me to never apply for a promotion again and forced Bill to retire. Dave then a) threw me off audits of IRS at the end of 1988, b) gave me an extremely bad job assignment at the start of 1989, c) got my supervisor to give me extremely unfair performance expectations and appraisals, d) turned my four subordinates against me, and e) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. That forced me to seek help from my Republican Congressman Henry Hyde. Thanks to Hyde, Dave reduced his efforts to get rid of me somewhat. But Dave still succeed in a) keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and c) forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. The aforesaid is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecastrillon/2023/06/18/why-more-workers-are-making-gutsy-career-moves/
INSIDE HIGHER ED — Democrats ask “What Could Colleges Do Without Affirmative Action?” Expect/anticipate that Democrat colleges will ever-increasingly use the subjectivity in their admission procedures to keep out Republican applicants, and especially Republican applicants who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/admissions/2023/06/20/what-could-colleges-do-preserve-diversity-without-affirmative-action
