NBC5
— Chicago scrambles to house migrants as winter approaches. City and state officials are looking to get migrants off the streets and out of shelters more quickly, but advocates say new restrictions will only make things harder. – Daniella Silva

— Illinois Walmart employee’s sign-off message after 10 years on the job goes viral. Video of Gail Lewis’ farewell has been seen more than 20 million times since it was uploaded to TikTok on Nov. 16 – Matt Stefanski (COMMENT: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors, superiors, coworkers, and subordinates who left or retired early were overwhelmingly Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. Overwhelmingly, those who stayed were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Overwhelmingly, discrimination was why those who left or retired early and getting preference was why those who stayed. The aforesaid is patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— No pay for elected school board members shuts out underrepresented communities. Those who pursue elected office do so to serve the public and, in the case of many Latinos, to be a voice for underrepresented communities — at a considerable personal cost, the leader of a nonprofit writes. (COMMENT: I continue to serve as a voice for grossly underrepresented conservatives, that is, as a voice for grossly underrepresented platform Republicans as a) a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and b) the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as that voice as the following until RINOs got rid of me: a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021, b) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, d) the webmaster for the Milton Township Republican Organization 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, and f) a member of the Association of American Political Consultants Midwest Chapter 2001-2004. I should write a book about the aforesaid RINOs who got rid of me.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Ready, set, line up: Monday is the start of candidate filings for the March primary – Patrick M. Keck (COMMEMT: What offices will be on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Which potential candidates are circulating nominating petitions for those offices? In my opinion, the leaders of Republican county, ward, and township organizations in Illinois should have long since provided their Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains that information in flyers for them to hand-carry to the Republican residences in their precinct. Failing that, I nevertheless hand-carried my precinct letter to the 370 registered Republican voters in the 228 residences in my new DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton in four batches that announced a) my candidacy for Precinct Committeeman, b) that the Republican primary would be March 19, 2024, c) that I would support those candidates who won the primary, d) etc.)

(COMMENT: My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $5,262/month a) because I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, b) because I worked for IRS for almost 9 years before that, c) because I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years before that, and d) because I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. 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.)

— 15 Career Ideas for People Who Love Cars – Aalon Widmar (COMMENT: My quest for a successful career in the automotive industry ended abruptly in 1971 when I was 22 years old when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I needed money to help support my mother and brother in accordance with the financial hardship draft deferment that I had. 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.)

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.

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.

There are 370 registered Republican voters in that precinct. So far, I have gotten signatures on my nominating petitions from 22 of them. So far, I have hand-delivered my precinct letter to the residences that have at least one Republican voter in the northern half of the precinct and to about half of those residences in new southern half. Of the residences in the northern half, about half of them were in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and about half were in that precinct 1999-2015. A much higher percentage of the residences in the new more affluent southern half have at least one registered Republican voter.)

(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.)

— Dog bites hit South and West Sides hardest — same areas that lack dog parks, pet shops, other resources. While dog bites since 2019 have taken place all across the city, the communities with the highest number of complaints are largely on the West Side of the city where there are fewer resources for dogs and their owners. – Phyllis Cha (COMMENT: I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post 1966-1969. While I was never bit, I had many close calls. Neither my parents nor my grandparents on my father’s side owned dogs. My grandparents on my mother’s side owned dogs, but only because they operated a farm and abandoned dogs came to their farm looking for food.)

(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.)
— Liberal Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) blame conservative Republicans for all problems. The liberal 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 promote poverty and crime.

— Historic public transit investment will transform Far South Side, south suburbs. – Kirk Dillard (COMMENT: Needless-to-say, my entire life would have been different/better if Crete had public transit to the Loop. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I commuted by car to classes at UIC west of the Loop 1966-1968. Wheaton’s public transit to the Loop was a very big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984. I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997. My wife worked in the Loop 1970-1992.)

DAILY HERALD
— Private schools lament end of state’s Invest in Kids tax credit for scholarships – Marni Pyke (COMMENT: How much money did your parents have? My father and his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had lots less money because they all sent their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. 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%).)

— Volunteers blindsided by new 60-day limit on migrant stays in Chicago shelters. Advocates wonder where people will stay once their time in Chicago shelters runs out. (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.

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 )

BLAZE
— 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.)

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.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— During the last two days, I took time out from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and hand delivered my precinct letter to the homes in the newly drawn DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 that have at least one registered Republican voter. In that letter, I announced my candidacy for Republican Precinct Committeeman. So far, I have delivered to the homes that have been in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and those homes west of the Illinois Prairie Path that were in that precinct 1999-2015. I had great political conversations with voters who were out raking leaves. So far, I have 17 signatures on my nominating petitions. The new Precinct 59 extends to the south and has 370 registered Republican voters in it. I am discouraged from circulating nominating petitions for Republican candidates because far too many of them have blamed me for their defeats. I should write a book about those candidates who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

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.)

— Chicago police under scrutiny for alleged racist and transphobic incidents (COMMENT: Typically, the more racist and/or sexist that an employer has been, the more pressure that there is on that employer to hire, retain, and promote minorities and females. I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. There were no charges of racism or sexism against those employers. But nevertheless, there was tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials on those employers to hire, retain, and promote minorities and females. The Democrats who ran those employers responded by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of their White male Republican employees.)

— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)
