— What is the Purpose of the GOP? – Richard Moss
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/10/what_is_the_purpose_of_the_gop.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our
“one party” system in Washington remains profoundly corrupt and self-serving.
It consists of career politicians from both parties, special interests, donors,
and lobbyists, all of whom agree on one thing: growing the size of government.
The Republican Party, in its budgeting and voting, is a left-of-center party;
it is, as I often referred to it as, the Republican wing of the Democratic
Party. With an increasingly Marxist Democratic Party, and no serious
conservative opposition from “soft-progressive” Republicans, the trajectory of
the nation is all to the left: more spending, more programs, more socialism,
and ultimately more tyranny.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/02/magazine/ice-surveillance-deportation.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
goal of the Extreme Vetting Initiative was “determinations via automation,” ICE
explained to the attendees. It sought partners whose algorithms could scan
social media and other publicly available information and assess whether an
immigrant was likely to become a “positively contributing member of society” —
or whether he or she intended “to commit criminal or terrorist attacks.”)

— Employee recognition a vital part of workplace culture – Johnny C. Taylor
Jr. (DIERSEN: In October of 1993, when I was 45 years old, I had 25 years of
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credits, and therefore, I was eligible
to take GAO’s $25,000 buyout offer and to take early retirement. Of course, my
Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious
about that. I had worked for GAO less than 14 years. I had earned almost 3
years of full-time CSRS credits while I had worked only part-time for the Post Office
1966-1969. I had earned almost 9 years of CSRS credits while I worked for IRS
1971-1980.)
