My brother continues to live in a house in downtown Crete that I lived in 1954-1972 that my grandfather on my father’s side had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864 after he sold a farm that he had homesteaded in southeast Crete in 1854. My outstanding parents 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.)

— Nasdaq’s diversity rule rankles GOP states – Thomas Barrabi
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, who promote reverse discrimination and who promote age discrimination. The more of the following that you are, the harder that the aforesaid work to get rid of you: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://nypost.com/2021/12/31/nasdaqs-diversity-rule-rankles-republican-states/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of Republican-led states slammed Nasdaq’s implementation of a diversity disclosure rule for corporate boards this week, arguing in a court filing that the requirement is illegal and unconstitutional. The states outlined their position in a legal brief supporting a lawsuit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which seeks to block the rule. In the filing, the GOP administrations argued that Nasdaq rule “violates both the Constitution and exceeds the SEC and Nasdaq’s statutory authority.” “It is unconscionable to see discrimination so blatantly put on display by requiring these companies to hire employees based solely on race, sex, and sexuality,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “The SEC’s quotas violate the Constitution and federal civil rights laws by requiring that companies overlook a person’s relevant qualifications under the guise of promoting diversity,” he added. The rule requires companies listed on the exchange to publicly disclose diversity statistics for their boards of directors in a standardized format. The companies are urged to have at least two diverse directors, including one who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+ — and if not, they must explain why they did not meet the recommended standard.)

(COMMENT: Only about 20% of those who take the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations pass them on their first attempt. According to Democrats, if Republicans are more successful at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against Democrats. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was a 30 year old IRS employee and the CIA examination on my first attempt in 1981 when I was 32 year old GAO employee. Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was successful because I had benefitted from discrimination against Democrats, and especially against Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, LGBTQ, moderate, liberal, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time, and those who had less money than I had.)

I would focus on those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— 4 Best Practices for New Employee Onboarding
(COMMENT: After I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about what my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates immediately did to destroy me. They stressed that I was Republican, conservative, draft avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, Corvette owner since 1971, GAO had forced me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, IRS disallowed my education deductions in 1978, IRS got rid of my mentor in 1975, IRS disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974, the Post Office forced me to resign in 1969, the Post Office disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968, etc. They stressed that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They stressed all the negative stereotypes that Money Magazine had foisted on me in its February, 1978 issue on me. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Their demonizing me, their denigrating me, and their condemning me motived me a) to complete the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) to become a licensed CPA in 1981, and d) to serve on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996.)

IRS Revenue Officers enforce federal tax laws. IRS hired me as a GS-7 Step 1 (currently $49,738/year) Revenue Officer in 1971 when I was 22 years old because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In 1980, when I was a GS-12 Step 5 (currently $88,229/year) Revenue Officer, I transferred to GAO. GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors treated my knowledge of IRS as if it was worthless. I should write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my IRS employment the most.)

— It’s time for more equality in the legal field – ALICE SETRINI
(COMMENT: In 1979, when I was 30 years old, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, a) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and b) became a licensed CPA.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/judicial/587536-a-higher-bar-its-time-for-more-equality-in-the-legal-field
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In fact, I would argue, it’s time to abolish the bar exam altogether. The typical path to practice law requires a person to be accepted to law school, graduate law school and pass the bar exam after an unlimited number of tries (in most states). For someone with ample wealth and resources, like Kardashian, multiple attempts to pass the bar are possible. However, each registration for the baby bar costs $624; the actual bar exam costs $670 per try. This is aside from the thousands of dollars spent on prep courses and tens, if not hundreds, of thousands to attend law school. A passing score on the bar is set to ensure that a significant percentage of test-takers fail. This does not ensure competency as much as it ensures that those with the most resources have the best chances of passing. In February of 2020, California saw a record low pass rate, with only 38 percent of first-time test takers passing, and just 26 percent overall. A better alternative to the bar exam or baby bar exam — one that looks to address systemic inequities and promotes competent attorneys — is diploma privilege. The concept of diploma privilege, or automatic licensure upon graduation from law school, is not new. Before the 1870s, people who wanted to practice law would serve as legal apprentices. Abraham Lincoln famously never went to law school, and is rightfully revered as one of our country’s greatest lawyers. The bar exam was so informal at the time, he once administered one from his bath. After the civil war, new law schools emerged, offering automatic admission as an incentive to attend. As historically black colleges and universities were established and law schools proliferated, opportunities for students of color to earn degrees increased; in response, the ABA rejected diploma privilege in favor of written examinations. However, these exams exclude minorities from passage, and do not test real lawyering capacity. At first this barrier to entry was by design. The ABA and the legal profession in general have a well-documented history of excluding women, African Americans, immigrants, and religious minorities.)
