Anticipate/expect that college graduates who are the aforesaid will ever-increasingly leave Illinois. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, only those who are the following will be hired/retained/promoted in Illinois: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/recent-changes-to-illinois-employment-7119691/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2. Protecting Employees Making Reproductive Health Decisions. Doubling down on protections for reproductive freedom, Illinois added a new category to its list of protected groups under the IHRA. Illinois already has a large set of protected groups. Besides the federally protected groups, which include race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin and mental and physical disability, Illinois also protects employees based on their ancestry, sexual orientation, including gender-related identification, pregnancy, military status, unfavorable military discharge, order of protection status, marital status, citizenship status, work authorization status, language, conviction record and arrest records. Starting on January 1, 2025, Illinois will also prohibit discrimination against employees based on their “reproductive health decisions,” including the use of contraception, fertility or serialization care, assisted reproductive technologies, miscarriage management care, healthcare related to the continuation or termination or pregnancy or prenatal, intranasal or postnatal care. 3. Protecting Employees with Family Responsibilities. Illinois also amended the IHRA (effective January 1, 2025) to prohibit discrimination, harassment or retaliation against employees based on their “family responsibilities” or providing “personal care” to a “family member.” “Personal care” includes an employee providing transportation to or attending a covered family member’s medical appointment or even staying home from work to care for a sick child or parent. This amendment expressly does not require employers to accommodate an employee’s request for time, etc. to provide this personal care or require employers to modify their existing policies and rules. It simply restricts employers from treating these employees differently because of their family responsibilities to provide personal care to family members.)

GAO
— IRS Workforce: Actions Needed to Address Barriers to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, they used Affirmative Action and DEI big time to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees. All my coworkers who they promoted over me a) were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, and/or had no professional certification like the one I had and/or b) were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. I earned an MBA in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. Because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors not only did not promote me after 1974, they a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, and c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrats ever-increasingly shout that minorities have to be given preference forever to succeed.

They forced me to retire and gave him my job and my preferred corner office. 26 years earlier, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of 1966 class. My ACT score was only 24.)

FULCRUM
— My critics/opponents attribute all their successes to meritocracy, but they attribute all my successes my benefitting from discrimination against those who share their demographics. Their demographics include liberal/moderate, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither or my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents have/had way more money than mine did.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/09/fight-dei-in-higher-ed-with-grades/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To contest a worldview whose ultimate goal is to destroy merit, schools should double down on objective measurements of student success. Reports of DEI’s decline are greatly exaggerated. That’s the sad truth as college and graduate students head to campus for the 2024–25 school year. While a growing number of states are removing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” from the classroom and campus experience, most schools still admit students for ideological and racial — not academic — reasons. State and federal policy-makers should push for meritocracy, and they can start by bringing back testing and grading. DEI’s most practical impact on higher education has been the lowering of standards. The end goal is to get more black and brown students into the classroom.)

— My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action and DEI a) to not hire Republicans and b) to get rid of their Republican employees. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me a) because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job and b) because they gambled (and lost) that I would become a Democrat. My taking undergraduate management courses at UIC and NIU helped me survive for almost 3 years at the Post Office. My taking graduate business and accounting courses and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt helped me survive for almost 9 years at IRS. My taking graduate accounting and finance courses, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, my becoming a licensed CPA, and my earning four more job-related professional certifications helped me survive for almost 18 years at GAO.

In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I earned an MBA from Loyola, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

It is called religious discrimination. I would focus on those 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. Better yet, I should sue them.)

Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. – Dave Diersen

All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time and/or had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)

FORBES
— Overqualified? As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly had more education and more professional credentials than my supervisors and superiors had. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (1976), 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. The head of GAO during that time, Charles Bowsher, was not a CPA and he was not a licensed CPA like I was. While my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years with GAO had a master’s degree and had passed the CPA examination, she had no other professional certifications and she was not a licensed CPA like I was.)

They did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 years old. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled/rejected the fact that I had earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Trump’s plan to slash government could hurt Republicans in a key House race. For nearly a decade, former president Donald Trump has rallied voters around a cry to cut the size of the federal government and “drain the swamp.” (COMMENT: When Republicans slash federal agency budgets, the Democrats who run those agencies get rid of their Republican employees first and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) earned a master’s degree in Financial Markets and Trading from IIT in 1997.)

They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980) and they hint/imply/argue/shout that because of that, I was grossly overpaid. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress a) that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my passing on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and e) my earning more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.

That rendered ever-increasingly worthless my job-related a) 1970 bachelor’s degree, b) 1976, 1980, and 1997 master’s degrees, c) 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 professional certifications, and d) 1981 professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrat and minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) no professional license like the one I had.)

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

The ‘forgotten generation,’ born between 1965 and 1980, launched their careers at the start of a massive shift in how Americans work. – Hannah Miao (COMMENT: Everyone should save for their retirement like they might be forced to retire sooner than they had planned. Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1973 in today’s dollars. Since then, I earned three job -related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981). If my Democrat superiors had not wasted my career and had not forced me to retire early, my CSRS pension would be $153,600/year.)

They were furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974 and when GAO promoted me in1986.

POLITICO
— State delegations won’t stay at the Trump hotel. The Illinois delegation took the hotel that had a prime view of the former president’s property. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/08/19/dnc-live-updates-coverage/hotel-politics-00174668
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nearly 5,000 delegates who are visiting Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention are staying in eight hotels in the city’s downtown. We’ve got the list. ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-2fcf-d62b-a7df-ffeff6860000 ) Convention organizers have contracted with about 40 hotels to accommodate all the entourages and guests connected to the delegates and their state parties. But one hotel isn’t in the mix: Donald Trump’s Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. It’s not just that it’s a nonunion hotel — a requirement for the Democratic Party when it was looking for a convention town — it’s because of Trump. “Our party stands for unity, hope, and freedom — values that stand in fundamental opposition with everything the Trump name and brand represent,” Emily Soong, a spokesperson for the convention said. When it came time to assign delegations to the different hotels, Illinois picked the Royal Sonesta Chicago Hotel, which looks right at the river — and across from Trump hotel. The Illinois Democrats decided they would “take it on the chin” so that other delegations wouldn’t have to look out their windows to see the giant T-R-U-M-P sign on the side of the building, according to one Democratic insider. That also gives them a clear view of the trolling messages Democrats are projecting onto the building. Last night, my colleague Adam Wren spotted “PROJECT 2025 HQ,” among other messages, being beamed onto the building above that TRUMP sign.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: TONIGHT: Governor Pritzker Soft-Launches 2028 Presidential Campaign. CHICAGO — Last night, Americans heard from Joe Biden, whom elite Democrats unceremoniously removed from the ticket in an undemocratic process. Tonight, voters will listen to presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker, who will use his prime-time speech at the DNC as a stepping stone for a future presidential run – just as he used his time as governor to position himself as a viable national candidate. FIRST: Pritzker traveled to New Hampshire in 2022 to raise his profile and set up a future presidential run. THEN: Pritzker refused to quash rumors that he would leave Illinois to run for president when Democrats launched their soft coup against Joe Biden. THEN: When Kamala Harris was announced as the Democrats’ preferred choice, even though she never received a vote outside of California, Pritzker launched a full-court press campaign to become her vice president. NOW: After failing to earn the nod as the vice-presidential nominee, Pritzker immediately pivoted, making an effort to become the Democrats’ choice for president in 2028. Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement on Pritzker: “JB Pritzker failed Illinois as its governor allowing our state to be overrun by illegal border-crossers, out-of-control crime, billions of dollars in new taxes, and as a result, our great state is in slow decay. Illinois’ residents are leaving in unprecedented numbers due to Illinoisans being the overall highest taxed people in the nation. Businesses are taking flight leaving and Illinois’ citizens and taxpayers are left paying the check. As Pritzker soft-launches his campaign for president, Illinois families are hurting, and Pritzker doesn’t care – our state is just another stepping stone for him to advance his ambition while we are saddled with the heavy effect of his administration’s failed policies. One thing is clear from Pritzker’s prime-time speaking slot — the only way our state will have actual representation is by voting Republican in November.”

Starting in 1980, they successfully used DEI to delay my promotions. After 1986, they successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June, several weeks before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the campaign hired former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s former chief of staff in June to focus on Republican outreach. . .Last week, a “Republicans for Harris” affinity group gathered online to hear from several high-profile Republicans including Kinzinger, former Rep. Denver Riggleman, former Republican White House officials and others. Additional Republican leaders are expected to speak at the Democratic convention in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the plans. Kinzinger is among them, according to a report by CNN.)

The civilian equivalent of Walz’s military rank of E-8 is GS-7 (currently $54,728/year). I was a) a GS-7 in 1971 when I was 22 years old, b) GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, c) GS-11 ($80,094) in 1973, d) GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974, and e) GS-13 ($115,439-$150,075) 1986-1997.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/18/fact-check-sen-tammy-duckworth-falsely-claims-tim-walz-is-a-retired-command-sergeant-major/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Tim Walz received his notification of eligibility for retirement on August 3, 2002. He was promoted to sergeant major (E-9) on September 17, 2004, and immediately began serving as the command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery while his packet was submitted to the National Guard Bureau to appoint him to command sergeant major (E-9). Once approved by NGB, he was laterally appointed to command sergeant major (E-9) on April 1, 2005. He retired from the Minnesota National Guard on May 16, 2005. Our records do not indicate when he made his request to retire. Leadership reviews and approves all requests to retire. He was administratively reduced to master sergeant (E-8) on May 15, 2005, because he did not complete all required U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy coursework.)

They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. When I was 49 years old in 1997, they forced me to retire and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/marclittle/2024/08/19/the-gops-black-wall-n2643561
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blacks, who comprise 18.2% of the federal bureaucracy run by Democrats, are not known for voting against the bureaucracy that feeds them. The fight to garner greater Black support cannot be left to influencers and rappers. An army of Black messengers must take the fight to the streets. Black voters are likely to elect the next president of the United States, so there must be a specific strategy and plan to get their votes. I fear no one has told Trump.)

— DNC comes to ‘Little Palestine’ as Gaza deaths top 40,000. – Michael Loria (COMMENT: To elect Harris/Walz, how anti-Israel will the Democrat Party become?)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/18/dnc-little-palestine-chicago-protest/74805536007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The decision to host the DNC in Chicago was made before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel killed 1,200 and sparked the brutal military campaign in Gaza. Since then, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died − and Chicago was transformed into a hotbed of anti-war activity ahead of Biden and Harris’ arrival. The region’s anti-war activism, which has included parades of pro-Palestinian truckers in the suburbs and encampments at the city’s top universities, has been led predominantly by local Palestinian Americans. In addition to calling for a ceasefire, many Chicago Palestinians are also motivated by a fear that Democrats’ lackluster opposition to the Gaza war has encouraged the kind of anti-Muslim vitriol that sparked crimes like the murder of 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume in an alleged hate crime in neighboring Will County.)

— How Biden Raised the Profile of the Free College Movement. – Katherine Knott (COMMEMT: Unlike me, my critics/opponents did not have to work their way through college. Many of them have degrees from Ivy League universities. My having to work my way through college harmed my GPA big time. I spent far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying while I was in high school 1964-1966. Consequently I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class and my ACT score was only 24. I spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying while I took classes at UIC 1966-1969 and NIU in 1969. Nevertheless, I 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, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.)
