— Taliban’s Promises of Tolerance in Afghanistan Often Don’t Match Reality.

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— A national debt: Should government compensate for slavery and racism? (COMMENT: Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are reparations. Democrats make Republicans pay the price of reparations. How much reparations have the Democrats made you pay? In 1997, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black Democrat subordinate, which they did. Previously, to give preference to my Democrat coworkers and subordinates who minority, female, and or younger, they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Combating Whistleblower Retaliation: How to Maximize Your Recovery (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, nation origin discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/combating-whistleblower-retaliation-how-to-maximize-your-recovery
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All too often, whistleblowers who disclose fraud to their employers, law enforcement, or government agencies suffer retaliation by their employers. Whistleblower retaliation takes a serious toll on whistleblowers both financially and emotionally, including an inability to pay living expenses, reputational harm, alienation, blacklisting, and emotional distress. Whistleblower protection laws can provide a potent remedy, but before bringing a retaliation claim, it is crucial to assess the options under federal and state law and develop a strategy to achieve the optimal recovery. Key issues to consider include the scope of protected whistleblowing, the burden of proof, the damages that a prevailing whistleblower can recover, the forum where the claim would be litigated, and the impact of the retaliation claim on a whistleblower rewards claim.)

— Staggering US wealth inequality heaps long-term harm on to minority children. Black children have access to just 1 cent for every dollar enjoyed by their white counterparts, new research shows, and Hispanic kids fare little better. – Ed Pilkington (COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats will call for government a) to take more and more and more opportunities, income, and wealth away from White Republican males and b) to give those opportunities, that income, and that wealth to Democrat minorities, Democrat females, Democrat young people, Democrat LGBTQers, illegals, Democrats who are not married, Democrats who have financial, health, and/or other problems, Democrats who are not Christian, Protestant, Italian American, and/or German American, and/or Democrats whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/569882-the-political-tides-are-turning-against-the-biden-presidency
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The recent decline in support for President Biden and his administration likely means that the Democratic Party will lose control of the House and potentially the Senate in 2022 — and makes it increasingly likely that Biden will be a one-term president. Just 41 percent of registered voters now approve of Biden, while 55 percent disapprove, according to a USA Today-Suffolk University survey released last week. President Biden’s approval rating has markedly deteriorated, having dropped 16 points since this spring.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s newfound emphasis on promoting “common prosperity” to deal with the large wealth gap in the ostensibly communist nation has led to tough times for some of China’s billionaires. Jack Ma, formerly the richest person in the country, is among those whose net worth has fallen as a wave of new state controls and regulations drove down share prices for some of China’s hottest companies. The government’s campaign is about more than reducing inequality, however. There’s also increasing concern in Beijing about great wealth translating into political power separate from the Communist Party.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Biden: ‘They gave me a list here, the first person I was instructed to call on’ was NBC reporter – Victor Morton (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I should write a book about how the following have treated me: a) the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) the leaders of the Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers, and d) the leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/26/joe-biden-first-person-i-was-instructed-call-was-k/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden said at Thursday’s press conference on the fatal day in Afghanistan that he had been told by others what reporters to let question him. “They gave me a list here, the first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O’Donnell, NBC,” he said. Conservative commentators quickly took the words and the president’s halting diction as confirmation of their longstanding belief that Mr. Biden is a puppet and not really in charge at the White House. “Who instructed him? Was that also the Taliban,” asked Greg Gutfeld on Fox News Channel immediately after.)

They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

Lie No. 2: Words are violence: The First Amendment is one of America’s greatest achievements, but on campus it’s anathema. Lie No. 3: One in five co-eds will be sexually assaulted: One of the most oft-repeated higher education stats is that one-in-five women will be sexually assaulted or raped in college — a figure that’s been fully debunked. Lie No. 4: Gender is a choice: One of the first experiences students encounter is the complex and confusing world of preferred gender pronouns, such as “ze,” “hir” and “xem.” Lie No. 5: Being colorblind is racist: For the student who wants to take a stand against critical race theory on campus, the road will be difficult.)

When I was younger, I was optimistic about having a successful career in the automotive industry. But that all ended in 1971 when I was 22 years old.

In 1978, disgustingly and outrageously, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those deductions. They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

Far too often, RINOs promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, wokeism, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, etc.), and/or age discrimination. I should write a book about RINOs. I would focus on RINOs who destroy a) those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) those like me who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) those like me who refuse to pander to them, d) those like me who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) those like me who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) those like me who refuse to give them money.)

PARADE
— Lights, Camera, Crime and Comedy! The 8 Most Memorable TV Shows From 1971 – Mara Reinstein (COMMENT: What did you do in 1971? I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. I started the year working as the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, taking a graduate business management course at UIC, and awaiting a decision on my application for a financial hardship draft deferment. That application was approved, and because of my draft lottery number, I was no longer subject to the draft. I believe that prompted Oldsmobile to offer me a job which I accepted. But when I told my Firestone boss, he immediately and rudely fired me. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job 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 to be a GS-7 (currently $48,445/year) Revenue Officer in Chicago. But then, my Firestone boss offered me a part-time job pumping gasoline which I accepted. Before I started working for IRS and working part-time for Firestone, I went on a spring break vacation in the Bahamas. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in August. That directly resulted in my buying a new 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevy Bel Air for everyday use. At the end of the year, IRS granted my request to be assigned to its Harvey office.)
