— Net Worth for Retirees: How To Tell Whether You’re Poor, Middle Class or Rich (COMMENT: Since we got married in 1978, my wife and I always saved as much as we could for our retirement. We always lived on just one of our paychecks. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that and used that to justify in their minds forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. According to them, we could afford our losing $86,371/year (56%) annual income in today’s dollars. In today’s dollars, my salary was $153,151/year and my Civil Service Retirement System pension would be 44% of it or $66,780/year. They knew my wife’s salary, how much we had saved for our retirement, and how much more we were on track to save. They knew we had no dependents or debts. They knew we owned 915 Cove Court in Wheaton. They knew we owned three collector cars. They knew that the federal government would continue to pay 72% of our health insurance.)
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/net-worth-retirees-tell-whether-155106510.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poor retirees: Poor retirees are in the lower 20th percentile, and may have a net worth of around $10,000. This is often without property ownership, forcing many to rely mainly on Social Security or minimal pensions. Middle-class retirees: Making up the 50th percentile, with a median net worth of approximately $281,000, this group usually includes home equity, retirement savings and a 401(k) plan. Upper-middle-class retirees: These retirees possess a net worth between $201,800 and $608,900. They have diversified assets and enjoy a comfortable retirement cushion. Rich retirees: In the 90th percentile, with net worth starting at $1.9 million, this group has much more financial freedom and is able to afford luxuries and legacy planning.)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— A slightly more sanguine view of the Department of Government Efficiency
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/2024/12/a-slightly-more-sanguine-view-of-the-department-of-government-efficiency/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Absolutely. And that’s why Ramaswamy saying we’re going to eliminate 75% of federal employees is absurd, and frankly, won’t save much money. If you really do an efficiency examination of every agency you will find certain agencies that are actually understaffed. Like you mentioned, the IRS. Try calling the IRS and getting through. It’s nearly impossible. The IRS is likely understaffed and may need more employees. On the flip side, I would argue the Department of Agriculture is overstaffed with about 100,000 employees. So really you have to go agency by agency. You can’t just start out with a goal: I’m going to get rid of this many employees and do a good job. You really have to determine after reforming each agency. Do we need more or fewer people to do this work?)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Former Naperville Councilman Kevin Coyne named new DuPage County GOP chair
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/02/naperville-city-council-dupage-county-republicans-election-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage Republicans, though, are actively rebuilding, Coyne says, and shaping up to “run better campaigns and turn things around.” A part of that rebuilding process is defeating “this narrative out there that we are a deep-blue, progressive county,” he said. “We clearly are not. We have Republican mayors in virtually every notable city in DuPage, even after these terrible November elections. … If you’re truly a progressive county, you don’t have Republicans getting elected at anything.” Another focus will be “finding good people that are willing to give their time and energy to the cause here” despite the party facing strong headwinds “outside of our control,” Coyne said. He pointed, for instance, to Republicans being outspent at the state level. As chairman of DuPage Republicans, Coyne is tasked with working with township leaders across the county to execute “really well-done campaigns in November cycles,” he said. To that end, he says the party needs to modernize and “improve everywhere.” “The Republican Party for many, many, many decades in DuPage County really didn’t have competitive November races to worry about. This whole blue wave thing came about fairly fast,” he said. “I don’t think the campaign infrastructure, whether it be in everything from social media to email distribution to small donor bases and all these kind of grassroots and nuts and bolts campaign considerations, has been effectuated to the degree that they should.” Revamping how Republican candidates run and execute campaigns will be the priority, Coyne said. As the party rebuilds, changes will likely entail a larger presence on social media and a more aggressive approach to events and outreach, he said. Now’s an opportune time to rebuild, with Republicans taking back the White House and Senate in November, he added. “(There’s) a lot of national momentum that we’ve got to figure out how we capture and bring home here,” he said.)

— Democratic U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen, who represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, says DOGE has ‘no validity’ to enforce budget cuts. (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. They use Republican-led budget cuts first to get rid of their employees who are Republican 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. I would not have survived for almost 18 years at GAO if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981, earned more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

— University of Illinois Accounting Professor Li Zhang is under fire this week after warning students about their “unconscious and unintentional biases” against women and minorities before they completed their evaluations.
https://jonathanturley.org/2024/12/14/unconscious-and-unintentional-biases-university-of-illinois-professors-issues-discrimination-warning-to-students-before-they-complete-her-evaluations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A student objected to the “passive-aggressive” nature of the email: [T]his announcement can be interpreted in two ways: 1) It implies that I am a bigot, incapable of providing honest feedback without my opinions being negatively influenced by the professor’s race or sex. It suggests that any negative feelings I have towards the professor or the course are more influenced by personal, subjective feelings regarding race and sex than by any objective facts. 2) It suggests that I should provide high evaluation scores, regardless of my actual feelings, in order to atone for past actions taken by others. Both interpretations are unacceptable and represent a passive-aggressive method to artificially inflate course evaluation scores. This approach is highly unprofessional and creates an “othering” effect, implying that white males are incapable of making objective decisions that are not influenced by race or sex.)

FORD FOUNDATION
— For generations, the United States of America has been built on a pact: secure a job, commit to it, and ensure a stable life. Yet for millions of workers, this promise is dissolving. (COMMENT: I was a wage earner 1964-1997. My critics/opponents look down on wage earners, if not despise wage earners. They have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a Job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college degree, and who got them jobs.)
https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/stories/fighting-for-a-just-economy-workers-lead-the-way/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across every sector, jobs are becoming increasingly precarious. Gig work, temporary positions, and subcontracted roles are replacing traditional employment, leaving workers with unpredictable incomes, erratic schedules, and a lack of benefits. This instability breeds anxiety, disrupts families, and creates a sense of expendability, ultimately destabilizing entire communities and creating a race to the bottom economy. This rise of precarious work is no accident. Decades of policies prioritizing corporate profits over worker protections have eroded job security and weakened worker power. By design, this uncertainty leaves workers vulnerable and less likely to demand their rights, individually and collectively.)

https://abc7chicago.com/post/towering-concerns-arise-aurora-air-traffic-control-center-staffing-effect-travel-chicago-airports-after-hearing/15648283/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Government Accountability report says things are getting worse, not better. “This is completely unacceptable. Air traffic facilities and radars need improvements,” Texas Senator Ted Cruz said. “Based on FAA data, the reliability of the FAA’s radar fleet is declining. The United States should be a leader in aviation technology. Sadly, this is often not the case.” “The modernization of existing air traffic management infrastructure in the United States continues to fall behind peer countries and is straining from the continued operations and growth of conventional airspace users,” said Marc Scribner, Senior Transportation Policy Analyst for the Reason Foundation. “There is no easy answer or quick fix. A snap of Iron Man’s fingers cannot fix this,” said Kevin Walsh with the Government Accountability Office. “This will be the work of many years and billions of dollars.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/12/senate-social-security-expansion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Senate is pushing toward a vote on legislation that would provide full Social Security benefits to millions of people, setting up potential passage in the final days of the lame-duck Congress. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday he would begin the process for a final vote on the bill, known as the Social Security Fairness Act, which would eliminate policies that currently limit Social Security payouts for roughly 2.8 million people. Schumer said the bill would “ensure Americans are not erroneously denied their well-earned Social Security benefits simply because they chose at some point to work in their careers in public service.” The legislation passed the House on a bipartisan vote, and a Senate version of the bill introduced last year gained 62 cosponsors. But the bill still needs support from at least 60 senators to pass Congress. It would then head to President Biden.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Whatever Happened at West Point, It’s Not Good (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. Based on how my Democrat GAO superiors treated me, my Democrat IRS superiors demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me. Of course, they stressed that they had a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I had a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/whatever-happened-at-west-point-its-not-good/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As I see it, there are only two explanations for West Point’s having falsely informed a journalist that Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, not only didn’t get in to West Point but never “even applied there.” Those options are that West Point lied or that West Point is incompetent. Neither is good. I find it hard to believe that West Point would deliberately lie about such a thing. I also find it hard to believe that its staff would be so lazy or inept as to screw something like this up by mistake. This was not some random inquiry; it was connected to an extremely consequential political decision, and related to the reputation of a high-profile figure who, if he is accepted by the Senate, will soon occupy one of the most important jobs in the United States. That being so, how is it possible that West Point did not make one hundred percent sure that it was correct in its denial? Frankly, I’d be somewhat surprised if at least someone at West Point hadn’t preemptively looked into this after the nomination was made public. If I worked there, I think I would have. At the very least, a higher-up ought to have instructed all staff to make absolutely sure they were correct when dealing with inquiries of this sort. In all likelihood, we’ll never know what happened. What we can say, however, is that this incident has probably helped Hegseth’s chances of being confirmed.)

The races are: Milton Township Supervisor, Clerk, Assessor, and Highway Commissioner and 4 Trustees; Wheaton City Council West District; Wheaton Park District Commissioners; Education Service Region Trustee; School District 200 Board Members; and College of DuPage Trustees.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3206644/political-affiliation-divided-along-racial-lines-among-churchgoers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)

WGN News obtained videos of Chicago police officers trying to stop dozens of young people from fighting near State and Monroe Friday evening, just after the Christmas tree lighting at Millennium Park. At least two people were put into handcuffs and one person was one a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance.)

Trump can and will defend and advance that platform. Needless-to-say, the aforesaid Trump-hating Trump-haters should resign their offices.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jonathan Baron, founder of Baron Public Affairs and host of “The Political Risk Brief,” said the emergence of this powerful conservative media ecosystem allowed Trump to bypass traditional outlets. His firm analyzed more than 16,000 references from Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and 40 key advisers to identify the top influencers who make up this pro-Trump network. Baron’s firm then separated them into three groups of influencers—amplifiers, specialists, and mavericks—who are categorically anti-establishment. He spoke with The Daily Signal about his firm’s groundbreaking research and how these powerful influencers will shape campaigns and policymaking in the future.

I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
— What Trump’s Win Means For Labor And Employment Law (COMMENT: How has EEOC impacted you? When I was 22 years old in 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)
https://chiefexecutive.net/what-trumps-win-means-for-labor-and-employment-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump will likely tap current EEOC commissioner Andrea Lucas to serve as chair. As with the NLRB, however, Lucas will find herself outnumbered by Democratic members on the Commission, three to one – a situation that will likely continue for some time. Upon attaining a Republican majority, the Commission may seek to roll back the collection of workplace demographic data and limit the agency’s interpretation of Title VII regarding protection for LGBTQ+ workers. An EEOC under Trump likely will also take a narrower view of what’s permissible under DEI initiatives.)

(FROM THE POSTING: What if the employer claims its challenged action was not motivated by retaliation? In many cases, an employer will present a non-retaliatory reason for the challenged action. The employer may assert that it acted for a legitimate and unrelated reason such as poor job performance, misconduct, or the individual’s lack of qualifications for the job. An employee may respond to these assertions by providing evidence that the employer’s explanation is actually a pretext for retaliation. If an employer’s explanation is shown to be false, a factfinder may infer retaliation.)

— Senate confirms April Perry, former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, to be a federal district judge
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/12/april-perry-illinois-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In April, Biden nominated Perry to be a federal district judge after Sen. Richard Durbin had recommended her for the judgeship. Perry’s nomination to be a judge — a position that carries a life tenure — came in a roundabout way. She was nominated last year to be the first female U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Her nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate — despite being voted out of committee — after Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who now is the vice president-elect, objected to her nomination. He also said he held up all other nominations in the federal Department of Justice because of federal indictments of former President Donald Trump. Vance later added that he also was opposed to Perry’s nomination to be U.S. attorney because of her role in the Jussie Smollett case, where the “Empire” actor falsely claimed he was the victim of a hate crime. Vance accused Perry of rubber stamping unethical decisions made by the office of Perry’s then-boss, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. . .Tuesday’s 51-44 vote was largely — though not entirely — along party lines. Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski both supported Perry’s nomination. Three Republican senators, including Vance, missed the vote.)

That is a big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. But the Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

CHICAGO MAROON
— How Do Democratic and Republican Students Feel About Election Results?
https://chicagomaroon.com/44616/news/how-do-democratic-and-republican-students-feel-about-election-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Second-year Akshay Kirthi, a self-identified Republican, expressed a sense of validation from the results of the presidential election, which he believes demonstrated that the Democratic Party is out of touch with the American majority. He believes the strength of Trump’s results reflected the domestic and economic priorities of the American people. “[Democrats] have denigrated the American people for their choice in this election. They called the majority of this country sexist, bigoted, homophobic, deplorable, ignorant, and worse,” Kirthi said. Similarly, fourth-year Hank Hyatt, who is a part of the leadership of College Republicans, felt the election results matched his prediction. “I definitely did believe Trump was going to win,” Hyatt said. “Personally, I’m very excited for the future.” Both Chaudhry and Kirthi commented on the nationwide change in voting this election cycle. “In comparison to 2020, I think it shows there has been a large Republican shift,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi saw this trend in a more optimistic light. “Fundamentally, the American people want change. They want a vision to grow the economy, close the border, end the wars around the world, and control the federal bureaucracy,” Kirthi said. While much of the focus of this election season has been on the presidential race, both sides identified positive results in the smaller, more localized races, such as state Senate elections. For Chaudhry, Democratic Senate victories in Michigan (Elissa Slotkin) and Wisconsin (Tammy Baldwin) have helped her remain hopeful. “Sometimes, zooming in, it’s validating to know that there are smaller areas of hope and impactful elections that happened this season,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi believes that with a Republican-controlled House, Senate, and presidency, there are more opportunities for Trump to follow through with his policies. Although the House majority has not been set yet, many project that Republicans will hold on to their majority. “Trump will be able to take his agenda far further in 2024 because he knows who the bad actors are [in Washington], understands more clearly what his agenda has to be, and knows the personnel and the transition team [he needs] to help him achieve this goal,” Kirthi said. “Trump clearly will be able to implement a much more defined America First agenda. The next presidential cycle provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to either realign or reaffirm their party’s goals and promises. Chaudhry highlighted the necessity for the Democratic Party to look internally and identify the priorities of young and working-class voters. “Aligning the Democratic Party with working-class people in America is really important,” Chaudhry said. “Democrats need to refocus on issues like the economy and immigration that are very winnable. ”Kirthi, too, sees this as a learning opportunity for the Democrats. “Look into the mirror and acknowledge why the American people didn’t buy into their vision this time,” Kirthi said. “The American people have given the Republican Party a mandate of trust to fully implement their vision, but this trust is contingent on good governance and delivering on promises.”)

The aforesaid brings forth poverty and crime. 477 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton voted for Democrat Harris and between 430 and 349 voted for the other Democrats on the ballot.

— Trump’s election is a referendum on DEI (COMMENT: My critics/opponents reject meritocracy, except that they credit meritocracy for all their successes in life.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2024/11/07/trumps-election-is-a-referendum-on-dei-1501077/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America has flourished because we are a meritocracy. The Biden/Harris administration has endorsed the replacement of meritocracy with the phony banner of diversity. Meritocracy and diversity are opposites. Instead of promoting people based on competence, advocates of diversity want promotions to be based on race and gender. With the ascendancy of identity politics, said Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, “skin color trumps merit—as long as that skin isn’t white.” “The rejection of objective standards of accomplishment is nihilistic,” said Heather Mac Donald in When Race Trumps Merit. “The diversity movement deems color-blind measures of competence to be unjust instruments of racial exclusion.” The entire basis of American exceptionalism—competence—is being outlawed. Evidence of the trend is everywhere. The majority of top-25 medical schools are supporting equity and critical race theory. “Medical schools are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession,” says Heather Mac Donald. The physician performing your brain surgery could be the product of affirmative action. Going in for surgery would become an act of suicide, as surgeons are no longer held to standards of excellence. United Airlines has thrown merit to the winds by announcing that 50 percent of all new pilots will be chosen from among minorities and women. Eligibility for an Academy Award will no longer be based on merit. Nominees must adhere to a quota of minorities and women in both cast and crew. Thanks to the Democrats, diversity has been applied to candidates for high office. Enter Kamala Harris—a vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views—who on Tuesday came within a hair’s breadth of the presidency. How could we allow that to happen? . . The day we repudiate merit is the day America crumbles. Happily, that day has not arrived and Harris is not the president-elect. Never forget how close we came.)

— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly discourage use of E-Verify, that is, Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. My critics/opponents cannot say that because their parents were wealthy, they bought them cars, they paid for their college expenses, and they got them jobs. I should write about my critics/opponents.
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/what-illinois-employers-using-e-verify-1352993/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An amendment to the Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act going into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, imposes many new obligations on employers regarding the use of E-Verify – some that go beyond federal E-Verify requirements. The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has published guidance on the law that also clarifies that the law does not ban the use of E-Verify in Illinois. The new law includes strict deadlines for employer notifications and attestations, among other requirements. In addition to clarifying that E-Verify can be used in Illinois, the new guidance: Urges employers using E-Verify to familiarize themselves with information on the IDOL website about the accuracy of E-Verify; Prohibits misuse of E-Verify, including for pre-screening; Encourages employers to review and understand their legal responsibilities regarding posting and notice requirements; Reminds employers that employees may file complaints for alleged violations with IDOL; and Explains that any adverse action against an employee or applicant who files a complaint under the Right to Privacy Act is prohibited. Illinois employers will violate state law by: Failing to display E-Verify notices supplied by the federal and Illinois state governments; Failing to have all employees who use the system participate in the required computer-based training; Failing to prevent employees from circumventing the training requirement; Misusing E-Verify in any way including using the system for pre-screening or screening current employees; Failing to safeguard the information in the system and preventing unauthorized access; and Failing to follow the notification and attestation requirements in the law. The law imposes on employers notification and attestation requirements that are particularly detailed. Here are just some examples: Upon initial enrollment in E-Verify or within 30 days of the effective date of the amendment (Jan. 1, 2025), the employer must file an attestation that they have received all the training materials and that they will do the training, post the required notices, and retain all certifications of completion of training for possible inspection. If the employer contends there is a discrepancy in the employment verification documents provided by an employee, the employer must explain the specific deficiency to the employee, provide the employee with instructions as to how to correct the deficiency, explain that the employee has a right to representation, and, upon request, provide the original document that provides the basis for the deficiency within 7 business days. When an employer receives a notification of a discrepancy from a state or federal agency: Employer cannot take any adverse action including re-verification based on the notification. Employer must provide notification to the employee not more than 5 business days after receipt of notification. Employer must provide an explanation of discrepancy, time period to contest, and provide the original notice within 7 business days. Employer must provide notification to employee’s representative within same time frame. Notification should be by hand if possible, but if not possible, notification must be by mail and email. When an employer receives notice of an upcoming inspection by an agency of I-9 forms or other related documents: Employer must provide notice to all employees in all relevant languages within 72 hours of receipt of the notice. Employer must also provide written notice to employees’ representatives, when applicable. Notice should include details regarding the conducting agency, the date the notice was received, the nature of the inspection and a copy of the notice. (IDOL is expected to prepare a template for this notification.) If during an inspection, a problem is uncovered about a specific employee: Employer must provide written notice to the employee and employee’s representative within 5 business days. Notice should be provided in person if possible or by mail and email. Notice should include a full explanation of what was found, the time period for the employee to notify the employer if they plan to contest the finding, the time and date of any upcoming meetings on the topic, and the employee’s right to representation. If the employee contests the determination, the employer must notify the employee within 72 hours after receipt of a final determination and provide the original notice within 7 business days.)

— Elections should be run by separate standalone independent commissions. Half of those who lead those commissions and half of their employees should be real Republicans and half should be real Democrats. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do you react when voters who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican spit hatred against Trump in your face? Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump has pledged to defend and advance the 2024 Republican Party platform. Since 1999, the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization have stressed to me as a Republican Precinct Committeeman like me that we can support whichever candidates we want in Republican primary elections, but that we must support in general elections those candidates who win Republican primary elections. I have always supported those candidates who have won Republican primary elections. Trump won the Republican presidential primary in 2016, 2020, and again this year. What makes a voter a Republican? In Illinois, it is simply casting a Republican ballot. But ever-increasingly, I encounter voters, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, etc. who say that they are Republican, but who are filled with hatred not only against Trump, but against all those who do not share their hatred against Trump and they hint/imply/argue/shout that they are not only not going to vote for Trump, but that they are going to vote for Harris and for all the other Democrat candidates on the ballot to punish those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. Needless-to-say, in Illinois, the aforesaid Trump-haters should cast a Democrat primary ballot next year, run as Democrats instead as Republicans, officially change their party affiliation to Democrat, resign as Republican party leaders, etc. instead of destroying those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. – Dave Diersen

— My Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party since 2000 have always done everting they could to get rid of me. Because they know that I would not take the following advice, they never gave it to me: a) help them get rid of their Republican Precinct Committeemen who were conservative, and especially those who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time and b) help them give preference to their Republican Precinct Committeemen who were Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO, and especially to those who were liberal, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

(COMMENT: The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, or younger person who would take the job. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.)
