MOTLEY FOOL
— 7 Issues to Look Out for During a Home Inspection – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: If my wife and I were to list our home for sale, we would disclose to prospective buyers and to their home inspectors all our home’s defects and what was done to mitigate those defects including the following. The foundation’s footings cracked before the foundation walls were poured, so the builder put steel reinforcement in the walls and laid interior foundation drain tiles. Many lengthy cracks formed in the basement floor, so I sealed them. The home was built on the intersection of two subterranean drainage lines, so I properly connected those lines to the city storm sewer system. Those subterranean drainage lines create drainage easements, so I had those easements recorded. The subdivision lacks adequate storm water drainage, so I paid the builder $700 to directly connect all of the home’s seven downspouts to the city storm sewer system and I installed many storm water inlets and hundreds of feet of French drains.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Foreshadowing America at the precipice in 2022. If USAID did an assessment of America today, what might it foretell? – Ron MacCammon
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/22/foreshadowing-america-at-the-precipice-in-2022/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Data collected on the U.S. using this lens shows a nation in turmoil. Some of the glaring indicators are the crumbling of cultural and civic institutions, a toxically divided populace, an economy vitiated by COVID-19 and a significant loss of international prestige. Across the spectrum, Americans are distrustful and disdainful and appear to coalesce around two camps: the aggrieved and the resilient. Data gleaned from the analysis shows America’s aggrieved is a cabal committed to radically transforming society into a liberal dystopia. They see America through a lens of oppression and victimhood, and if you disagree, you are an existential threat. This is no proletarian movement. They use identity politics, institutional racism and COVID-19 as cudgels to purposefully badger everyday Americans into compliance. They are oblivious to context and nuance and rarely consider second- or third-order consequences. The aggrieved control the universities and have increasingly pushed their indoctrination into secondary education. They exert considerable control over legacy and social media, corporate America, sports figures and celebrities. They understand the power of networks and astutely recognize them as more important than hierarchical bureaucracies. The assessment shows the resilient represent traditional societal and institutional norms. Things like freedom of speech, law and order, and our history … warts and all. They are not as organized, nor have they been as committed to defending their values in the public square. The resilient are repelled by the brazen hypocrisy of the aggrieved and have suffered years of gratuitous insults. They finally recognize tolerance has only emboldened the aggrieved.)

BLOOMBERG LAW
— A Black deputy sheriff for DuPage County, Illinois isn’t entitled to a trial on his claims that he was denied a promotion to sergeant because of his race and that the county conspired to withhold promotions from Black deputies through artificially low performance evaluation scores, a federal court in Illinois ruled. Although the deputy suffered an adverse employment action by receiving a score of 67 on his performance evaluation instead of the minimum 70 necessary to sit for the promotional exam, he could not produce any evidence leading a reasonable jury to believe that the adverse employment action was due … (COMMENT: The low performance evaluations that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave me conflicted with the fact a) that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) that I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) that I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant.)

https://www.wbez.org/stories/the-political-battle-for-illinois-counties/a2ef057e-aa35-4e06-b86a-7a4cd6fdb3cc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2018, Pritzker made easy work out of predecessor Bruce Rauner’s reelection bid, routing the one-term Republican by nearly 16 percentage points. Pritzker did so while losing 86 out of Illinois’ 102 counties, but that showing amounted to an improvement for Democrats over previous elections. Admittedly, many of those 86 counties are sparsely populated. Regardless of the margins Rauner put up in them, they weren’t enough to overcome Pritzker winning four out of five of the collar counties and taking Cook County by historic margins. Pritzker defeated Rauner in Cook County by more than 836,000 votes. No gubernatorial candidate since at least the Roaring ’20s posted a winning margin that large in Cook County.)

— Orthodox rabbis call on US universities to suspend diversity programs. A recent study suggested that the programs spread antisemitism. – Tyler O’Neil (COMMENT: In 1989, when I was 41 years old, after my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors made it clear that to get rid of me, they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, they approved my request to be assigned to their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. That group was led by a GS-15 (currently $142,041-$172,500/year) Jewish younger female of Russian national origin. Many, if not most of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want to work with her and/or to work for her because she was Jewish, younger than they were, female, more liberal that they were, Russian national origin, demanding, wealthy, and/or had more education and/or professional certifications than they had. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She accepted me into her group because I had a) become a licensed CPA in 1981, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— A Deafening Silence – Patrick Hall
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/blog/2021/12/21/a-deafening-silence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to government crime statistics, if you are a police officer, you are 361times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. Also, blacks being only 13% of the population, commit violent crimes at 7 to 10 times the rate of other Americans. Black crime is even more prevalent in our largest cities. For example, blacks committed 76 percent of all homicides in Chicago, IL, despite composing 35 percent of the city’s population. Blacks also accounted for 78 percent of all juvenile arrests. In the city of New York, even before the current chaos we witnessed following the death of George Floyd, blacks committed 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crimes, despite only composing 23 percent of the population. Here is another statistic hiding in plain sight that doesn’t fit the secular homily proselytized by the corporate media, NPR, Democratic Party, and the “only” Black-Lives-Matter bigots. Black commit over 52% of all homicides despite only 13% of the population. We can also add this data to the loud silence emanating from our nation’s racism industry entrepreneurs. In 2015 nearly 6000 blacks were murdered by other blacks.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/smith-college-ex-staffer-sues-over-anti-white-racism-ideological-struggle-sessions_4168397.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Smith College administrative employee Jodi Shaw, a white woman, is suing the elite school in federal court for retaliation and racial discrimination including forced participation in humiliating ideological indoctrination sessions. David Pitvorak, who describes himself in his Twitter biography as an “individual rights attorney taking on Critical Race Theory in the courts,” is representing Shaw in the lawsuit. “We allege that Smith forced Shaw to undergo ritual racial humiliation and tasked her with implementing policies that racially segregated and discriminated against students,” Pitvorak tweeted. The 101-page lawsuit was filed Dec. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.)

— Is inheritance tax the answer to inequality? – Prenisha Govender (COMMENT: Should everyone be required to disclose the biggest things that their parents did to help them succeed? My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) 1966-1968 while I took courses at UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)

— AS FEWER AND FEWER AND FEWER MEN EARN COLLEGE DEGREES: Benedictine University program aims to help create diverse women leaders – Madhu Krishnamurthy (COMMENT: Democrats use minority female leaders to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about what my minority female GAO superiors and supervisors did to get rid of me. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Before that, they gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair appraisals. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. Those who hired them forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nicholas-sandmann-reaches-settlement-with-nbc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sandmann became the center of attention after a viral confrontation between him and a Native American man named Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., after attending events associated with the March for Life with classmates from Covington Catholic. Sandmann, wearing a “MAGA” hat, smiled at Phillips, an attendee of the Indigenous Peoples March who sang and played a drum in front of the teenager. Video of the encounter led to a media firestorm, and the ensuing litigation highlighted the reporting as incorrectly portraying the teenager as the face of an unruly and racist mob. The defamation lawsuit Sandmann filed against NBC Universal, which sought $275 million, said NBC “unleashed its vast corporate wealth, influence, and power against Nicholas to falsely attack him despite the fact that at the time, he was a 16-year-old high school student.”)

https://news.wttw.com/2021/12/15/lightfoot-decries-segregation-city-council-defies-aldermanic-prerogative-approve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-13 vote by the Chicago City Council represents a nearly unprecedented rebuke of the decades-old tradition of giving alderpeople the final say over housing developments in their wards. Critics of that practice, which is the subject of a federal probe, contend it has created a hyper-segregated city rife with racism and gentrification. Mayor Lori Lightfoot echoed that judgment moments before the vote, which capped a more than three-year odyssey that became a major flashpoint in the high-stakes effort to combat systemic racism in Chicago.)

Members of those protected groups include Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, females, LGBTQers, younger people, Trump-haters, moderates, liberals, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, RINOs, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, non-patriotic people, non-rich people, non-gun owners, non-married people, parents, citizens of foreign countries, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

What percent of top executives share your demographics in terms of your race, gender, age group, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran status, gun owner status, renter/homeowner, liberal/moderate/conservative, Trump hater/neutral/supporter, political affiliation, patriotic/not patriotic, education level, professional certifications/licenses, health, religion, national origin, income level, net worth level, criminal record, length of time your ancestors have been in America, etc.?)

DALLAS NEWS
— In Donald Trump’s GOP, no one is too extreme (COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, the more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being an extremist: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support all of the aforesaid planks, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican (MTRO) have always done everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. This year, they stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. In 2015, the gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship. In 2011, they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership. In 2010 and 2004, they ended my MTRO webmaster service. In 2007, they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership. In 2004, they viciously ended my bid for MTRO Treasurer and ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)

HERALD TIMES
— Monroe County Indiana GOP chair resigning; young vice chair to run for post in Saturday’s caucus – Rachel Smith (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. are under pressure from Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs to recruit, to retain, and to promote precinct committeemen who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, Trump-haters, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, that is, to not recruit, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of precinct committeemen who are White, male, older, heterosexual, non-Trump haters, conservative, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs want Republican candidates to lose elections.)
https://sports.yahoo.com/monroe-county-gop-chair-resigning-112256786.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Ellis, a party chairperson can be a highly influential position as they will have the responsibility of promoting local turnout during elections and recruiting potential candidates. Elaine Thomsen, the county GOP’s secretary, will preside over the caucus, and the party’s precinct committeemen and vice precinct committeemen will be its voting members.)

CONVERSATION
— How the Native American population in the US increased 87% says more about whiteness than about demographics (COMMENT: I should write a book that compares and contrasts how the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated their Native American employees verses their White employees. I would focus on the preferential treatment, including not being forced to take early retirement, that the office’s Native American employees got.)
https://theconversation.com/how-the-native-american-population-in-the-us-increased-87-says-more-about-whiteness-than-about-demographics-170920
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Birth rates among Native Americans don’t explain the massive rise in numbers. And there certainly is no evidence of an influx of Native American expatriates returning to the U.S. Instead, individuals who previously identified as white are now claiming to be Native American. This growing movement has been captured by terms like “pretendian” and “wannabe.” Another way to describe this recent adoption of Native American identity is what I call “racial shifting.” These people are fleeing not from political and social persecution, but from whiteness.)
