They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

They stress that my ACT score was only 24, that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class, and that I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. They stress that I could not run because I had a bone disease, that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and that I had partial red/green color blindness. No one thought that I would a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32.

— Success of Trump’s Agenda Hinges on Whether Unelected Leftist Judges Can Be Stopped From Hijacking the Constitution. As the president’s second term unfolds, many of the Democrats’ cherished totems are either comatose or in their death throes. All the judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. That is why they ruled in GAO’s favor.

USA TODAY
— Hegseth shuts down NFL-style ‘crown jewel’ of Army’s merit-based talent programs. The NFL Combine-style programs for evaluating prospective Army commanders started during President Donald Trump’s first term. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, because my Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, they used up-or-out to get rid of me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I finally did make GS-13 when I was 38 in 1986, but I would not have if I had not a) earned an MBA in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAP was a trial for officers seeking to command battalions and brigades, demanding roles that make or break an officer’s career. The cancellation comes as part of a Pentagon review of officer personnel processes ranging from evaluations to promotions and command selection, among other career milestones. . .Participants would complete a physical fitness test, have their body fat measured, undergo a psychological evaluation, receive leadership evaluations from former peers and subordinates, and complete verbal and written communication assessments. An interview panel would anonymously judge the candidate’s communication skills based on their performance in an interview setting. Officers deemed “ready” by the panel would then be ranked for command opportunities based on their CAP performance and a review of their personnel file. . .The program was designed to spot potentially overlooked talent while also preventing toxic and abusive leaders from assuming positions of power.)

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

But during that time, I earned a job-related a) bachelor’s degree, b) master’s degree, and c) professional certification.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrat and RINO leaders want Pritzker to win in 2026. Failing that, they want an anti-Trump Republican candidate to win who is Democrat plant, Democrat Lite, RINO, if not anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican who rejects the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform.

— Chicago-area residents celebrate Labor Day 2025 with parades. I have always been big on parades. I attended Bob Doles’ rally after he walked in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade in 1996. SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/05/us/for-dole-upbeat-crowd-on-a-spirited-day.html At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I encouraged George Ryan to encourage Bush/Cheney to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. But my attending the Bush/Cheney rally before Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day Parade and my walking in that parade really got me going. SEE: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2000/09/05/no-ordinary-fling-in-naperville/ I ever-increasingly encouraged Republican candidates to walk in Wheaton Independence Day Parades.

I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. My critics/opponents have always used my taking the aforesaid jobs against me. They make it clear that they would never had stooped to take the aforesaid jobs. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my taking the aforesaid jobs proves that I am a loser.

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)

— Pritzker Net Worth: How The Illinois Governor Became America’s Richest Politician
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jay Robert ‘JB’ Pritzker, the current governor of Illinois, holds the title of the richest elected official in the United States. Pritzker has an estimated net worth of $3.6 billion, according to Forbes, and comes from one of America’s most prominent billionaire families, the heirs to the Hyatt Hotels empire. A Democrat, Pritzker was elected governor in 2018 after defeating Republican incumbent Bruce Rauner. Before entering politics, he co-managed the Pritzker Group, a private equity firm, alongside his brother Anthony until stepping away in March 2017. Pritzker’s wealth primarily stems from the vast fortune amassed by his family. His uncle Jay Pritzker founded the Hyatt Hotels chain, while his father, Donald Pritzker, played a key role in developing and expanding the brand before he died in 1972. His sister, Penny Pritzker, is also a billionaire and served as US Secretary of Commerce under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017.)

— Bill Gates’ answer to ‘compulsory’ interview question: What are your salary expectations for this job. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my having to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 and that they were going to get rid of me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers and my education deductions. They had ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. The GAO Chicago office Staff Manager (Bill) who had arranged my transfer assured me that GAO would a) immediately assign me to audits of IRS, b) rapidly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and b) rapidly promote me to GS-13. But almost immediately after I transferred, his GAO Chicago office superiors replaced him with a new Staff Manager (Dave) who openly despised me if not hated me. He gave me bad job assignments. He gave me unfair performance expectations and performance appraisals. He kept me off audits of IRS. He delayed my promotions back to GS-12 Step 5. He ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981. But then, in 1985, he went on extended sick leave. That allowed Bill to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. But then, in 1987, Dave came back. Dave forced Bill to retire in 1987. He threw me off audits of IRS in 1988. He gave me an extremely bad job assignment and unfair performance expectations and performance appraisal. He ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. I should write about the aforesaid. Dave would not have been able to take the aforesaid adverse actions against me that he did if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. If GAO had been unionized, Dave would not have been able to take the adverse actions against me that he did. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.

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.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

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. In 2010, they again rudely fired me as MTRO webmaster. In 2012, they got TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois to rudely end my chairmanship. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021, they rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2024, the rudely ended my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. I should write about the aforesaid.

I would not have been able to do that if my parents had not provided me with room and board in their Crete home while took courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.

Soon after, the U.S. Education Department announced it would require universities to report new data on applicants, broken down by race, to “ensure race-based preferences are not used.”)

I say that because I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32 respectively and I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by the time I did the foresaid, the accounting profession deemed me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting.
