— Friends worried about Charlie Kirk’s safety
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/11/friends-worried-about-charlie-kirks-safety-00557077
(FROM THE ARTICLE: THE ASSASSINATION of Charlie Kirk — the Wheeling native who rose from Illinois politics to become one of Donald Trump’s closest conservative allies — is reverberating through the state’s political circles, with friends saying they had feared for his well-being. “Those of us who love and care about Charlie have been worried about his safety,” Illinois businessman Gary Rabine said in a text statement. Rabine was an early backer of Turning Point USA, which Kirk cofounded in 2012 to bring conservative ideas to college campuses. “I have watched him over the past 13 years become the greatest leader behind positive change in our college universities and our country,” said Rabine, who ran for governor in 2022. “Terrible tragedy,” said former Gov. Bruce Rauner, another early donor to Turning Point noting Kirk was part of his 2014 rise to Springfield. Rauner described the young activist as “bright, talented and charismatic.” What we know: Kirk, 31, was killed by a single gunshot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in the conservative town of Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. No one is yet in custody, according to The Associated Press. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican, called the murder “a heinous act of political violence that has become too common in our country. Charlie did not deserve to die because of his ideological views.” Though they rarely saw eye to eye, Gov. JB Pritzker condemned the shooting and drew a wider lesson. “We’ve seen other political violence occur in other states, and it’s got to stop. There are people who are fomenting it in this country,” Pritzker told reporters upon first hearing of the shooting. He pointed to Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 protesters as having “tripped a new era of political violence.” Trump himself broke the news, posting on Truth Social: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Later, Trump signaled his anger, blaming the media and “radical left” in a video address from the Oval Office. Kirk got to know Trump while handling social media during his 2016 presidential. From there, he built a national profile as a sharp-tongued defender of the president and his MAGA movement — and a fixture on the conservative speaking circuit. But it was Illinois where Kirk got his political start. He worked on Rauner’s 2014 campaign for governor. In his book, Kirk wrote that he and Turning Point members “barnstormed the state and mobilized students in every county to help Bruce defeat the Chicago political machine.” Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi issued a statement saying, “Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable.” And the Illinois Freedom Caucus echoed that, adding, “We are devastated and horrified by the news.”)

— Left-wing social media ideologues celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk and say he ‘deserved’ to be shot
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086259/Disgusting-comments-left-wing-lunatics-Charlie-Kirk.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk’s murder – with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he ‘deserved’ his fate. Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump’s ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties. But left-leaning ideologues made light of it, with one writing: ‘I’m not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, but I think enablers to pedophiles should be shot, too.’ Some TikTokers also reacted casually to Kirk’s death, with one mock crying while a dramatic song played, with the caption: ‘Charlie Kirk got s**t? Awwww.’ Another liberal posted: ‘Hitler giving Charlie Kirk a tour in hell’, adding a GIF from a TV show. Another called Kirk ‘a f***ing Nazi. And you know what kind of Nazi is the best Nazi? A dead one. Thank God that s***stain of a person is no longer in this world’. Others mocked Kirk’s steadfast commitment to open debate and exchange of ideas: ‘Why didn’t Charlie Kirk just debate the bullet? he would have easily deflected.’ Many unearthed clips of Mr. Kirk defending incidents of gun violence as ‘unfortunately’ worth maintaining the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.)

The enormous impact Charlie Kirk has made on our country cannot be understated. His tremendous impact will be lasting. The hate and intolerance that led to Charlie’s shooting needs to end. It’s incredible that we’ve reached a point in America that you have to consider one’s personal safety before entering into politics. Intimidation, bullying, and threats – whether overt or veiled – need to end. You do not truly have a free society if people are left afraid to openly express themselves. We cannot thank Charlie enough for his great work and devotion to our country. He was a true patriot. God bless Charlie Kirk and his family during this terrible time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the trans folks arrived in Austin earlier this year to protest an incoming legislature that was bent on keeping men out of women’s sports and predators in skirts out of girls’ bathrooms, they held signs that read, “It was never about the bathrooms.” Now, those chickens have come home to roost. Their fight was never about freedom to pee next to the gender of your choice, but to indoctrinate the masses who would then forfeit enough power to make a difference. We see this struggle over and over in capitols across the United States. Sometimes the evidence is obvious, with drag queens reading stories of a misgendered crayon that finds its true identity with the help of a friend. (Grooming, anyone?) Sometimes, though, the devil is in the tangled web of university course catalogue details. This is where I have spent a few hours this week, combing through the files most academic advisors wouldn’t expect anyone to actually read if they’re not a current student.

— Conservative political activist and author Charlie Kirk has died, President Trump said. Kirk was shot Wednesday while on stage speaking at an event at Utah Valley University, law enforcement officials said. He was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings involving transgender people when he was shot, according to videos of the attack. The Justice Department is investigating the shooting, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said, calling it a “senseless act of violence.” No suspect is in custody at this time, authorities say.

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote student loans. If I had gotten a student loan instead of working my way through college, my GPA would have been higher.

I did not get a job that required a bachelor’s degree until 1971 and it paid only $55,850/year in today’s dollars. But my salary increased to $68,315/year, $82,655/year, and $99,069/year in today’s dollars when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. That enabled me to a) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) pay for graduate evening courses starting in 1972, c) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, and e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton and buy two new cars in 1978.

— Hyundai plant raid was a part of something much worse. Pooler today, your municipality tomorrow?
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/09/09/hyundai-plant-raid-was-a-part-of-something-much-worse-1583446/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A story published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday revealed how the illegals were, in fact, part of a quickly growing community of South Koreans who’ve been taking over the Georgia suburb of Pooler. “The population shot up 22% between just 2020 and 2024, according to census estimates, to around 31,000,” the Journal noted. “Demographic data lags behind, but community leaders estimate half of that growth has come from Koreans. “Suddenly, the single Korean restaurant in town had to compete with around half a dozen others. The newly opened Costco, locals said, started carrying Kimchi, dried seaweed, and mandu dumplings. New homes sprang up by the dozens, and Korean families moved into planned neighborhoods with streets named Blue Moon Crossing and Harvest Hill,” the Journal’s reporting continued. Here’s the key: “Many of the newcomers worked at the factory.” As in the same factory where hundreds of Korean immigrants were found to have immigration violations last Friday, to the point that most of them were outright illegal aliens. Days later, on Sunday, the South Korean government announced it’d be repatriating most of the factory workers. Not every South Korean in the community is an illegal alien. The Journal noted that the legal ones were not happy with the illegal workers for bringing undue scrutiny on them. “We were doing great until that incident happened,” citizen Robin Kim said. “Now, there’s a risk that people will make assumptions or generalize unfairly.” . . . Zeigler told the Journal that 65 union members were hired by the factory for some brief work and then let go several months ago, only to be permanently replaced by the South Koreans. “We went out there and did a great job, no fatalities, no injuries, and then we just got replaced by the undocumented workers,” he said. “It was a kick in the knee.” Tori Branum, who’s reportedly running in a Republican primary for a Georgia congressional seat, questions the $5.5 billion manufacturing deal with Hyundai that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2022. The deal purported to give Hyundai $2 million in tax breaks in exchange for an economic boost to Georgia’s Savannah region. “We gave tax cuts for jobs for Georgians that never happened,” she said. Critics say all this points to a system that is being unfairly used to benefit foreigners at the expense of American citizens. “Americans are being taxed to subsidize foreigners from all over the world moving directly into their own neighborhoods to compete for jobs with their children and grandchildren,” one critic tweeted. “Our ancestors fought a revolution over less.” “Americans have just been subsidizing a new foreign-born enclave in a red state, led by a foreign corporation and American politicians,” another critic accurately pointed out.)

All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government 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. They all 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.

USA TODAY
— According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if Whites and men do better than minorities and females, it is because Whites and males benefitted from discrimination against minorities and females. From the beginning, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that. From the beginning, they have used that to ever-increasingly give more preference to minorities and females. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government 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. They all 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.

POLITICO
— Judge blocks Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board. Federal law gives Trump the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors “for cause,” which typically means serious misconduct or malfeasance on the job. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills. What special skills do/did you have? GAO audits IRS. I had a special skill to audit IRS’s Collection Division. I had worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and then 1989 until they forced me to retire in 1997. While they did let me work on audits of IRS 1986-1988, they were audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. Democrat IRS and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit IRS. Further, I had a special skill to audit federal financial industry regulators. I had worked for GAO on audits of federal financial industry regulators for 8 years 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 Levels, currently $125,661-$153,151/year. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. Democrat federal financial industry leaders and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit federal financial industry regulators. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets my aforesaid special skills when they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— IT’S ON — AGAIN: Watch for petitions on the street for former state Sen. Darren Bailey as he gets closer to announcing a second run for governor, setting the stage for a potential rematch with Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker in 2026. Joining him on the GOP ticket will be Cook County Republican Chair Aaron Del Mar. It’s a strategic pivot for Bailey, who struggled to gain traction in the Chicago suburbs during his 2022 campaign. By aligning with Del Mar, a prominent figure in northern Illinois GOP circles, Bailey hopes to broaden his appeal and galvanize support beyond his downstate base. Bailey is already positioning himself around kitchen-table issues like public safety, property taxes and rising costs, he told KSDK’s Mark Maxwell in a recent interview. The GOP primary would pit Bailey — the most recognizable contender in the field — against a handful of Republicans who have already announced, including policy wonk Ted Dabrowski and DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick.

WASHINGTON POST
— Chief justice allows Trump to fire a Democratic FTC commissioner for now. The ruling comes after an appeals court last week found that Rebecca Slaughter could be reinstated because the president had fired her “without cause.” Of course, in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), my Democrat GAO superiors argued that they had done nothing to force me to retire. But they had told me that if I did not retire, they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, and take even bigger adverse actions against me. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. They forced me to retire a) because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because my Black CPA subordinate talked and acted like he would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. I was not a licensed CPA like I was. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

DAILY HERALD
— Geneva group’s plan to host January 6 organizer draws pickets, protests. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) were hate groups. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that ICRC and TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served on ICRC’s Steering Committee 2003-2007 and as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy ICRC and TAPROOT.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Geneva group’s plan to host the Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers and a convicted Jan. 6 organizer, has stirred a hornet’s nest of protest on social media, a petition of more than 1,000 signatures and pickets in front of a local country club. The conservative Three Headed Eagle Alliance’s Sept. 23 gathering at Eagle Brook Country Club was scheduled to feature Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 18 years in prison, as its guest speaker. However, the Three Headed Eagle’s website now states the venue for Rhodes’ appearance has been changed and will be announced closer to the date.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— America’s Black On White Crime Problem
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/09/america_s_black_on_white_crime_problem_captured_in_full_color_video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: George Floyd was a criminal and a sometime thug. By the time he died of a drug overdose in 2020, he had spent at least the last 23 years committing crimes. Over that 23-year period, he was arrested at least nine times for everything from drug possession and distribution to theft to aggravated assault. He was stopped for a wide variety of other activities that required him to do community service or did not result in an arrest. Nine arrests over 23 years might not sound like a lot, but for more than eight of those years, he was in prison and not able to prey on people. Although arrested and jailed for aggravated assault, the crime that was the catalyst for his death was his decision to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. When the police arrived, he refused to comply, fought the police, and then died from natural causes when he was pinned down to the ground, as the police were surrounded by an angry mob that made it impossible for them even to try to address Floyd’s health. Then suddenly, George Floyd became a saint. Across the country and around the world, there was gnashing of teeth, protests, and riots about his death. The Black Lives Matter grifters monetized it, politicians made speeches using it to demonize police and America, and the draconian regulations meant to protect us from a supposedly extinction-level virus were conveniently suspended so long as people were busy protesting and burning down cities. However, only with a fuller understanding of the circumstances leading up to the events captured on video does one understand that Floyd’s death was not murder or even police brutality, but rather a very unfortunate circumstance brought about by Floyd himself. But then it wasn’t George Floyd’s death itself that caused half the country to rally around the fiction of police brutality and systemic racism; it was the videos. While the videos are indeed difficult to watch, they don’t change the fact that it was Floyd’s choices that were responsible.)

— Why the United States Leads the World in Millionaires. Roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. Why do you have less money? I have less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/why-the-united-states-leads-the-world-in-millionaires/ar-AA1M401a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is a global leader in wealth accumulation, boasting the highest number of millionaires and billionaires. By 2024, an estimated 23.8 million Americans will have a net worth of at least seven figures. This means that roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. . .One of the keys to this massive wealth accumulation lies in the characteristics and mindset of those who achieve it. Millionaires in the U.S. are typically goal-oriented and patient. Rather than pursuing ostentatious lifestyles, they focus on building a mix of financial assets that grow over time. Their wealth often stems from consistent contributions to retirement accounts, prudent use of credit, and avoiding unnecessary liabilities.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/01/naperville-parade-end-to-summer-families/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attending the parade was perhaps an act of instinct for Roger Schaeffer, who has watched the festivities for three decades. The 73-year-old’s children have moved away. The crowd has gotten bigger and the politicians — a campaigning George W. Bush one year — come and go, he said. . .It’s a surprise that so few labor groups show up, a far cry from the union-dominated festivities held in Chicago, he noted.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Mayor Johnson slams Trump’s plan to target Chicago, vows to ‘defend our democracy’ at Labor Day rally. Mayor Brandon Johnson began his speech on Monday with a chant: “No federal troops in the city of Chicago! No militarized force in the city of Chicago!” Demonstrators said immigrants make America stronger and called for protections for working people over billionaires. Pritzker is a billionaire.

— 16 Careers for Car Lovers. My goal of having a career in the automotive industry ended when I was 22 in 1971 a) when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint and b) when my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I started with almost 3 years of federal seniority and lots of reinstated unused sick leave because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years while I earned my bachelor’s degree.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250826/news/dupage-county-will-spend-up-to-147k-to-retain-springfield-lobbyists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

These Democrat plants and RINOs focus on driving platform Republicans like me out of the party. I should write about them and the adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 1999. In 2000, they got one of their own to run against me for RPC. In 2004, they rudely fired me as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and rudely defeated me 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRO Treasurer. In 2006, they almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2007, they got ICRC to rudely throw me off its Steering Committee.

REAL CLEAR WIRE
— The Democrats’ hackneyed falsehood that Republican gerrymandering in Texas is racist and will end American democracy is not only hysterical – it’s hypocritical. While gerrymandering is ethically impaired, it has been part of U.S. politics for more than 200 years, and a mainstay of Democratic Party election strategy since the 1980s. When redistricting is designed to favor one group over another, it is referred to as gerrymandering. Prior to the 1960s, court challenges to congressional redistricting plans were generally considered to be political questions outside judicial purview. In 1962, however, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement of “one person, one vote” when Tennessee created districts with population variances as large as ten-to-one. Courts also hear challenges to redistricting plans based on claims of racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and until recently, also claims that a gerrymander was intended to benefit a particular candidate, ideology or party. . .The congressional map drawn by Illinois Democrats after the 2020 census transformed its congressional delegation from 13 Democrats and 5 Republicans to 14 Democrats and just 3 Republicans – in a state where Donald Trump won 44% of the 2024 vote. The respected Gerrymandering Project at Princeton University gave Illinois an “F” for its partisan gerrymander.

I qualified myself for the postal job by passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in business.

AXIOS
— AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers. What impacted entry-level jobs when you were in your 20s? For me, it was the Vietnam War draft. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I did not get offers for jobs that required a college degree until after my application was approved and because of my draft number, I was no longer subject to the draft. By then, my career was already behind schedule. To try to catch up, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, b) I passed the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, and c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, it was too late. The federal government uses up-or-out to rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13, currently $117,807/year, by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.
