CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Getting retroactive Social Security benefit payments. Because of the repeal of GPO and WEP, my Social Security increased from about $3,000/year to about $6,000/year. Also, I got about $3,200 in backpay. Further, because the repeal, I am now eligible to claim 50% of my wife’s Social Security, but I will only get 43% because I took Social Security when I was 62.
https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/the-savings-game-getting-retroactive-social-security-benefit-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q. I receive a significant pension from work I have done outside of Social Security. I have not worked enough hours under Social Security to receive a benefit based on my work record. My spouse is retired and receives a generous Social Security benefit. A few years ago, I contacted Social Security and asked if I was eligible for a spousal benefit. I was informed that because two-thirds of my pension exceeded the spousal benefit I would otherwise be entitled to, that I shouldn’t even apply for a spousal benefit because of the regulations related to the Government Pension Offset (GPO). So I did not apply. When the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and GPO were repealed at the end of 2024, I filed for a spousal benefit because I was told that the two-thirds reduction was no longer in effect. After I applied, I was told that because I never applied for a spousal benefit prior to the repeal of GPO, I was not eligible for retroactive payments. I am now receiving a spousal benefit, but why am I not entitled to retroactive payments? A: More than one reader has written to complain about this situation. There is no logical reason why you should not be entitled to retroactive benefit payments. Many individuals who are now receiving a spousal benefit for the first time because of the repeal of GPO also receive six months of retroactive benefit payments.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Illinois adding more electric vehicles than ever before, but not enough to meet goal of 1 million by 2030. I own one of the 21,961 registered EVs in DuPage County. I bought a new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Plus earlier this year. Because the MSRP was more than $55,000, it did not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. But I did get the $4,000 State of Illinois rebate.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250726/news/illinois-adding-more-electric-vehicles-than-ever-before-but-not-enough-to-meet-goal-of-1-million-by/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .As part of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of a new electric vehicle ends Sept. 30. The $4,000 tax credit for purchasing a used electric vehicle is going away as well. . .Walton said the goal of rebates was to help lower prices for electric vehicles, which has occurred. New entry-level EVs run about $30,000, he said. The average price for any new car in the U.S. is about $50,000. Illinois charges electric vehicle owners an additional $100 per vehicle as part of the annual registration fees. The fee is intended to cover the loss of motor fuel tax revenues that go to pay for road construction and repairs statewide.)

— Pritzker’s vow to put Illinois Republicans on hit list rings hollow
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-pritzkers-vow-to-put-illinois-republicans-on-hit-list-rings-hollow/article_f7e91c5f-9f5b-43f8-97e9-ed56bcb71edf.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to government, there are few things more unattractive than nakedly partisan power politics, as reflected by a ruthless process called gerrymandering. Too many people don’t understand the concept, but it’s as simple as it is basic. Gerrymandering is the drawing of legislative district boundary lines — both state and federal — to give one political party an advantage over the other on Election Day. The typical tactics used are called “packing” — diluting the minority party’s strength by placing most of its voters into a few select districts — and “cracking” — splitting up a geographically compact group across multiple districts in order to reduce their electoral influence. Presto, chango, legislative elections are won and lost before a single vote has been cast. In Illinois, Democrats have gerrymandered state and federal districts to give themselves a super-majority in the state House and Senate and 14 of 17 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

https://www.breitbart.com/news/calif-illinois-may-fight-new-texas-congressional-maps-with-their-own/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the Texas Legislature plans to redraw congressional maps in an effort to increase Republican members in the U.S. House, the governors of California and Illinois may devise their own new borders. . .As the most populous state in the nation, California has 43 Democratic members of the house and nine Republican members, while Illinois is represented by 14 Democrats and three Republicans. “Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said. The Illinois governor said he doesn’t want to redraw the maps but “if they’re going to take this drastic action, then we might also take drastic action to respond.” “We want the country to understand [that] what’s going on in Texas is a national battle,” State Rep. Richard Pena Raymond, a Democrat from Laredo, said. Raymond told Pritzker that redistricting is “clearly aimed at affecting the entire country.” Responsibility for determining Congressional district maps differs from state to state. In California, an independent commission approved by voters in 2010 works on the maps. Illinois maps, on the other hand, are put together by the state lawmakers have been drawn strongly to favor the Democrat Party in the state.)

Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly fight deportation of their illegals. Illegals take bad jobs. Employers want cheap labor. All my employers would have hired illegals instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs because their parents had lots of money. Because my parents lacked money, I had to take bad jobs. I did yard work for 2 summers. I delivered newspapers for 4 years. I washed dishes for 18 months. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during 1 summer. I delivered mail for almost 3 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money. They look down on people like me, if not despise people like me.

— Is Decapitation a Job Americans Won’t Do?
https://prescottenews.com/2025/07/27/opinion-is-decapitation-a-job-americans-wont-do-ann-coulter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oh look, another American’s been beheaded by a Mexican. This week’s beheader is Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, an illegal alien who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, decapitated 37-year-old Megan Bos, then stashed her body in a bleach storage container. Arrested for the crime in April, Mendoza-Gonzalez was promptly released from custody by Illinois judge Randie Bruno, who is the same physical type — chubby, short-haired, white woman — as the Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal sneak out of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents. Illinois: sanctuary state for Mexican decapitators. Because they’re not busy enough rounding up the 20 million pillars of society Joe Biden allowed to sneak into America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to devote time and resources this week to recapturing Mendoza-Gonzalez. Otherwise, you never would have heard about it, and liberals could keep pretending not to know that Mexican drug cartels decapitate people.)

Who do you think washes your dishes?’ While I never was a maid, I was a dishwasher for 18 months, yard worker for 6 months, newspaper deliverer for 48 months, golf shoe cleaner for a month, slag chipper for 3 months, gasoline pumper for 23 months, and mailman for 34 months. The aforesaid totals 133 months or 11 years.

A waiver granted by the president allows Ricky Buria, a top adviser to the defense secretary, to bypass federal law and depart the Marine Corps at a rank he held only briefly. Hegseth held the military rank of Major in the U.S. Army National Guard. IRS promoted me to GS-12 when I was 25. The military equivalent is Captain. GAO promoted me to GS-13 when I was 38. The military equivalent is Major. My critics/opponents have always been furious about that. When I was 25, I had worked for IRS for 3 years and I had completed 10 graduate evening business courses. When I was 38, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 7 years. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had earned an MBA and a master’s degree in accounting. I had become a licensed CPA.  My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I never would have made GS-12 let alone GS-13.

MUDDY RIVER NEWS
— World Population Review’s 2025 rankings for the “Most Hated States” lists Illinois No. 1.  Yikes.  World Population Review reports Illinois is one of the fastest-shrinking states in the U.S. in terms of population, and has experienced a 0.54 percent (more than half a percent) decrease in population in recent years. And it gets worse. Roughly 25 percent of Illinoisans say their state is the worst in the nation. This negativity could be partially attributed to animosity between politically liberal Chicago and the heavily conservative rural portions that make up the rest of the state. The “Most Hated” rankings were determined by compiling three indicators: The percentage of each state’s own residents who believe their state is the worst. The number of other states that hate each state the most. Each state’s population decline, the logic being that population decline reflects the flow of residents moving to another state.

https://www.bnd.com/news/state/illinois/article310956495.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It found that educational attainment is still a strong predicter of a person’s future earnings as an adult. So too is the industry that a person chooses for a career. Other factors can also influence a person’s ability to complete a higher education degree, including their race, ethnicity and gender. Class-based barriers The study also found that a person’s own economic background – whether they grew up rich or poor – also strongly influences their future earnings. Students who grew up in higher-income households tended to earn more than those who grew up in lower-income families, in part because students from higher-income families were more likely to complete a college degree than lower-income students. But perhaps most surprisingly, the study found that even among those who earn similar degrees and go to work in similar industries, a student’s own economic background influenced their future earnings. That is, students from lower-income families tend to earn less than those from wealthier families, even after they went on to earn similar credentials. Further, the study found, among students from lower-income families, Black and Latino students and women tended to earn less than their white and male counterparts.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— GAO falsely claims to be nonpartisan. The House Republican Appropriators Committee recently tried to slash GAO’s funding nearly in half. Because I was one of GAO’s few remaining Republican employees, my Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich GAO funding cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE and I might still be a GAO employee. In any event, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

— Former State Department Bureaucrats Show Why Trump Fired Them. My critics/opponents side with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination the most.
https://freebeacon.substack.com/p/former-state-department-bureaucrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Proving the point: Nearly a half dozen disgruntled former bureaucrats gathered before a crowd (if you can call it that) outside Foggy Bottom on Friday. They attempted to rally support for themselves and other “recently fired State Department employees.” They failed. Organizer Michael Duffin, who was fired from State despite holding three graduate degrees, promoted the rally by asking for former U.S. ambassadors and other “senior officials” to attend and speak. Apparently nobody was interested—a Free Beacon reporter was one of the only people in attendance. Speakers instead included Steven Ramsey, a former USAID contractor and Fulbright alumnus who read a version of the Nazi-era “First They Came” poem that he “adapted for the context we’re in right now.” “First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant,” he said after noting that the original poem came “from 1930s Germany.” Several individuals eventually applauded. Duffin did not read a poem, but he did post a screenshot of his farewell email to colleagues in the buildup to the rally. It too made a Nazi comparison: “In the musical ‘Sound of Music,’ the Von Trapp family escaped the Nazis while performing ‘So long, farewell,'” wrote Duffin. “As the curtain descends on my State Department career I feel like it’s strangely appropriate to share with you some lyrics to that song.” Bravo.)

REAL CLEAR MARKETS
— The $100,000 Retiree Club Is Growing Way Too Fast In Illinois. My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $66,780/year. My critics/opponents have always decried my CSRS pension. In my defense, while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. During that time, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2025/07/17/the_100000_retiree_club_is_growing_way_too_fast_in_illinois_1122603.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now, there are nearly 32,000 in the $100k club. An extra 20,000 government retirees making that much is a sign Illinois’ public pension systems are out of control. Plus, there are many more state retirees getting close to that benchmark: the state’s 239,384 pensioners now average $93,558.)

ROLL CALL
— Bill backed by House Republican Appropriators Committee would slash funding for GAO nearly in half. My Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that.
https://rollcall.com/2025/07/10/appropriators-advance-legislative-branch-bill-without-gao-cuts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The smallest of the 12 spending bills, the legislative branch bill is also typically the least controversial. But the House’s proposed cuts to GAO funding have put it in the spotlight, drawing the condemnation of Democrats and outside groups, who characterized the move as a political attack after the watchdog found on at least two occasions that the Trump White House illegally barred the release of appropriated funds. More than 100 House Democrats this week joined a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson and Appropriations Chair Tom Cole, R-Okla., arguing the funding reduction to the independent watchdog would “significantly weaken its ability to deliver future savings throughout the government.” Also this week, dozens of outside groups signed on to two separate letters similarly calling for the restoration of funds. “No federal agency is perfect, but the GAO’s more than 100-year history is a success story overall, with an average return on investment of $123 for every $1 expended,” said one letter, led by the R Street Institute and signed by about a dozen other center-right groups. “As Congress’s fiscal watchdog, the GAO has identified hundreds of billions of dollars in savings along with opportunities to reduce duplication and mismanagement.” The Library of Congress, which was targeted by the White House in May when President Donald Trump fired its director Carla Hayden and Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter, also would avoid a deep cut. Perlmutter filed a lawsuit challenging her firing, which is ongoing, and Democrats have floated changing the process by which directors of legislative branch agencies, like the Library of Congress, Government Publishing Office and the GAO, are appointed. Murray briefly spoke about her draft amendment regarding the positions, but it was not put to a vote. She said she wanted to continue to discuss the issue with Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine. “Right now, the appointing process for the heads of these agencies involves the executive branch. That does not make a lot of sense, no matter who the president is. And I do believe it’s time to modernize this process and make sure that agency heads are appointed by the legislative branch,” Murray said.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/inside-congress/2025/05/27/the-gop-vs-the-gao-00369890
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans are declaring war against the Government Accountability Office. GOP lawmakers and White House officials are ramping up public criticism of the nonpartisan watchdog arm of Congress as it complicates President Donald Trump’s efforts to remake the federal government and grab power from the legislative branch. GAO investigates bad behavior at federal agencies and issues recommendations for how they can improve. A flurry of conflicts, including a run-in with DOGE, are inflaming tensions as GAO chief Gene Dodaro makes the rounds on Capitol Hill to defend the agency. Trump doesn’t have the power to remove Dodaro, as he did former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, but he could make Dodaro’s tenure at the office unpleasant by calling on Republicans to impeach or remove him through a joint resolution. At stake, as Jennifer Scholtes, Jordain Carney and Katherine Tully-McManus report this morning, is GAO’s independence — which some Republicans are openly attacking. “GAO has lost credibility as an independent body,” Sen. Mike Lee wrote on X last week. Lee’s criticism got at the heart of the right’s current frustration with GAO. The Utah Republican was responding to an earlier X post from OMB Director Russ Vought, who blasted the agency for finding the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funds approved by Congress. It was one of at least 39 GAO inquiries into whether the White House has flouted the 51-year-old Impoundment Control Act, which prevents presidents from circumventing lawmakers’ “power of the purse.” The impoundment questions aren’t the end of it. GAO rejected an attempt by Elon Musk’s DOGE to land a team at the agency, arguing GAO wasn’t subject to DOGE or executive orders. And GAO faced tensions with Senate Republicans in recent weeks after the agency advised that they couldn’t use the Congressional Review Act to fast-track the termination of a California emissions standard. They decided to anyway. GAO is standing its ground. At a recent hearing, Dodaro stressed the agency’s desire to stay out of political crosshairs. “We’re just responding to help Congress,” Dodaro said. “We’re not trying to influence things one way or the other. We’re nonpartisan. We’re asked a question; we give an answer. It doesn’t matter who it is.”)
— GAO is targeted by House Republicans in new spending bill. My Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that.
The Legislative Branch appropriations subcommittee aims to cut Congress’ own budget by $51 million.
(FROM THE ARTICLE: House Republicans are aiming to slash funding for the nonpartisan watchdog for waste, fraud and abuse within the federal government by nearly half in the next fiscal year, according to spending bill text released Sunday night. The House Appropriations subcommittee funding Congress and its support agencies, led by chairman David Valadao (R-Calif.), is set to mark up their fiscal 2026 measure Monday evening, with the full committee set to act Thursday. The Legislative Branch bill would provide $6.7 billion — $51 million below the current funding level, which was set in fiscal 2024. Per tradition, the House bill does not touch any Senate funding. “Chairman Valadao’s bill puts the American people first — in strengthening the institutions that represent them, protecting effective governance, and safeguarding taxpayer dollars,” said House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) in a statement. The deepest cuts in the bill are to the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress that would see a $396.5 million reduction from current levels to $415.4 million. GAO has served as the nation’s chief investigator of wrongdoing at federal agencies for more than a century, but has been fighting for months as Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration have attempted to undercut its legal conclusions and independence. Now, they are attempting to shrink the agency into submission as it pursues nearly 40 investigations into whether the White House is illegally withholding, or “impounding,” money Congress had previously approved. Also tucked into the bill is a major policy change that would eliminate the GAO’s ability to bring civil action against the executive branch over impoundments of funds. “GAO’s work makes it possible for the legislative branch to hold government accountable,” said Daniel Schuman, executive director of the American Governance Institute. “Congress needs independent expert advice, which is exactly what GAO provides.”)

— Did your father earn enough money so that your mother could stay home and raise you? Because my father did, my critics/opponents have always used that to paint me as being filthy rich. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Because of that, I had to work my way through college. What was your mother’s earning potential? My mother’s earning potential was very limited because she never attended high school.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A rowdy crowd of 5,000 Gen Z Republican organizers rattled the Tampa Convention Center Saturday night with their support for President Donald Trump’s deportation policies. While the president’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation split the event’s lineup of MAGA media stars, the young adults gathered for Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit were united in their enthusiasm for their favorite Trump Cabinet celebrities. Border czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem received what can only be called a hero’s welcome, with fans from across the country pressing to take a selfie, straining to get a MAGA hat signed and screaming as the White House’s top deportation authorities took the stage amid pyrotechnics and pounding music. “We’re on a mission to make this country safe again,” Homan shouted over the applause. “President Trump was elected for this issue.” And this is the issue Trump must continue to deliver on for the political grassroots if he hopes to keep his team of advisers and his most fervent supporters on board, said Turning Point president Charlie Kirk in an interview with the Deseret News.)

When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. GAO audits IRS. They had unofficially thrown me off audits of IRS in 1988 because I had complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. To punish me, they officially threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, gave me a very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay for performance. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

I was eligible because I had 25 years of federal service – 13 with GAO, 9 with IRS, and 3 with the Post Office. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 just before their “offer” expired. If I had not succumbed, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250704/crime/political-payback-deputys-lawsuit-alleges-he-was-demoted-for-backing-candidate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A decorated Lake County sheriff’s deputy is suing his boss and the county’s top lawyer in federal court, alleging he was demoted for backing a candidate they opposed in last year’s election. Deputy Ari Briskman, a former sergeant, wants a return to his previous rank, as well as back pay and punitive damages from the lawsuit against Sheriff John Idleburg and State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart. Filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, the suit alleges Briskman was demoted the day after the Nov. 5 election, because he supported Republican Mary Cole for state’s attorney. Cole was hoping to unseat Rinehart, a fellow Democrat and political ally of the sheriff. Briskman also lost his special assignments, including as head of the sheriff’s Marine Unit that patrols area waterways, the suit states. His attorney, Keith L. Hunt, noted that the demotion meant not only a loss of rank, but a loss of substantial income. “To punish a man’s family simply because he didn’t support your buddy’s candidacy is wrong on every level,” Hunt told us. “It’s petty, it’s vindictive and it’s unconstitutional.” Idleburg and Rinehart gave us statements in response to the lawsuit. “The plaintiff, a current employee, has exercised his right to file a lawsuit,” Idleburg said. “We are confident in our actions and will respond through the proper legal channels.” “While we are unable to comment on this pending litigation, we look forward to fully prevailing in court,” said Rinehart.)

https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/west/2025/06/11/oconomowoc-rotary-reverses-course-nonpolitical-july-4-parade/84148448007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After intending to make this year’s Fourth of July parade a nonpolitical event, the Rotary Club of Oconomowoc reversed course after a local Republican state representative expressed outrage. The Rotary initially planned to have a parade without partisan messaging, with an opportunity for politicians to meet with constituents after the parade. In a June 11 statement, the Board of Directors clarified that all political parties and representatives may fully participate in the July 4 parade, “as has been our longstanding tradition.” In the original plan, politicians were encouraged to participate in three ways, the board said: Walking with the city’s official float, joining a community organization they’re involved in or creating a nonpolitical float with friends and family. The club also said politicians were welcome to gather at the Village Green after the parade for a “special moment of unity” featuring the University of Wisconsin Marching Band, which is still scheduled to occur. “Unfortunately, our intentions were widely misunderstood, and the proposed approach caused considerable frustration and concern within the community. We deeply regret that our message was not clear and led to any confusion or disappointment,” the statement read. The debate began June 9 when the club announced it planned to host a nonpolitical event, in part because the city is marking its 150th anniversary. A signup page for participants notes the parade isn’t hosting political acts this year, “but we look forward to inviting them for the 2026 parade.” “Our aim remains to create a universally enjoyable atmosphere where Oconomowoc’s legacy and community unity can shine brightly, unimpeded by partisan elements,” the club wrote on Facebook. The policy elicited split responses on Facebook, and the club limited comments after more than 350 responses. Some residents and conservative talk radio hosts decried exclusion of anyone from the parade, while others appreciated the Rotary’s decision and said political divisiveness would detract from the festivities. State Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a Republican who represents Oconomowoc in the state Assembly, called the Rotary’s decision “bewildering” in a June 10 statement and said it deliberately excluded state and federal elected officials. Dittrich argued her family “is a dedicated, ingrained part of Oconomowoc’s rich history, dating back to the 1950’s, a third or more of the 150 years being celebrated within this parade.” “Walking in the Oconomowoc parade is not political; It continues my personal ethos of service, greeting all of the wonderful people I serve, no matter who they are or what their personal beliefs,” Dittrich wrote in part, urging the Rotary to reverse its decision. “We have listened intently to your feedback, and we fully recognize the importance of traditional parade participation to many of our local politicians and constituents alike,” the Rotary said in the new statement. In a June 11 message to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, club president Bonnie Lewis-Tschannen said “what’s been unfolding is beyond reason.” “Perhaps the most absurd claim is that we were somehow targeting or banning only Republicans. That is simply not true, and it’s incredibly disheartening to see the narrative twisted this way,” Lewis-Tschannen wrote. Other communities have moved to limit political participation in parades, including Middleton in 2022 after Republican candidates lodged complaints that only incumbents, who were all Democrats in the area, could participate. And rules against campaigning at Waukesha’s July 4 parade drew conservative scrutiny after former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde was told he couldn’t participate, while a Democratic congressional candidate could. Oconomowoc’s Independence Day Parade begins at 5 p.m. July 4, starting at West Wisconsin Avenue and Concord Road and ending at the Oconomowoc Police Station.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Grand County Republicans are getting ready for Independence Day. The day begins with a parade down Granby’s Main Street at 11 a.m. After the parade, the Republicans will have a table at the Party in the Park at Polhamus Park for community members to stop by. On July 7, the party will hold its monthly meeting in Kremmling. The meeting is at 404 Park Ave from 6:30-8 p.m. Dinner is sponsored by Rebecca Guthrie. There is no virtual option at the meeting, and party members are encouraged to attend in person and get to know each other. This event will be less formal, with a 20-minute discussion inside (please bring a chair), then time outside to mingle. For September, the Republicans are looking ahead to Constitution Week in Grand Lake. The patriotic celebration takes place from Sept. 15-21. Volunteers are planning to participate in the parade and have a table at the event. A schedule of events will be announced.)

— Federal Hiring Office Walks Back Essay Questions for New Hires. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. 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 who was minority, female, younger, and/or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. Because of that, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

If you are a federal employee, the more of the following that you are, the less that Civil Service provisions protect you: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if you have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Because I am all of the aforesaid and because I complained about their discrimination, my Democrat superiors in the federal government were able to take many adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, 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  $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

BROOKINGS
— Pathways to the Middle Class: Balancing Personal and Public Responsibilities. What were your circumstances at your birth? Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. I had to and I did work my way through college. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/pathways-to-the-middle-class-balancing-personal-and-public-responsibilities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The defining narrative of the United States of America is that of a nation where everyone has an opportunity to achieve a better life. Americans believe that everyone should have the opportunity to succeed through talent, creativity, intelligence, and hard work, regardless of the circumstances of their birth.)

The CBS News Chicago data analysis reveals a 155% year-over-year increase in 2024 in the number of luxury Lexus vehicles being stolen. More than 400 were taken by thieves — the highest number in more than a decade. Jeeps are also becoming more popular, up 28% in 2024. The 1,700 stolen also represent the most in more than a decade. Dodge models are up 6%. More than 1,500 have been taken – similar to the number stolen in 2013 and 2016. Sport utility vehicle models of Jeeps and Dodges are especially targeted.)

By not settling my lawsuit, he promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in GAO. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, d) earning four other job-related professional certifications, and e) earning a job related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees.

— Overpaid? Did you read Money Magazine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(financial_website) )? If you read its February 1978 4-page article on me  ( https://gopillinois.com/documents/ ), you would have concluded that the magazine did not pick me for the article to give me financial advice, but a) to foist negative government employee stereotypes on me, b) to paint me as being grossly overpaid, and c) to get IRS to disallow my education deductions. The article caused me many big problems, not the least of which was IRS’s disallowing my education deductions. Ever since the article was published, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In February of 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years. I had been promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In today’s dollars, my salary was $108,978/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building. I had rented out a town home in University Park since 1976 that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. My daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.
