https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)

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 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.

— 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.)

— Navy reverses demotion of Rep. Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor under Trump and Obama. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 forced me to take a demotion from GS-12 Step 5, currently $112,280/year, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $88,808/year, a 21% pay cut, to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors used that demotion to justify their wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that. GAO audits IRS. When I transferred, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I did for GAO.

(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.”)

— Trump is slashing jobs at Voice of America and parent agency despite court challenges. GAO works for Congress. During the 1980s and 1990s, Gingrich ever-increasingly slashed jobs at GAO with congressional approval. Gingrich gutted GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious about that and took their anger against Gingrich out on me. I should write about that.

BOSTON GLOBE
— My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I was a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I improperly benefitted from being a union member during that time, that is, that if I had not been a union member, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

But because of age discrimination, my delay in my earning my aforesaid degrees cost me dearly.

If I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. My Black CPA subordinate a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had one job-related professional certification while I had six, and d) no job-related professional license like the one I had.

— Inside ICE, Trump’s migrant crackdown is taking a toll on officers. I should write about the tremendous toll that Gingrich budget cuts took on GAO. I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. I would focus on the how my Democrat GAO superiors ever-increasingly took their anger against Gingrich out on me. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

WASINGTON POST
— FEMA employees put on leave after criticizing Trump administration in open letter. I did far more at GAO. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I was the only GAO Chicago office employee to do that. My Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career. They gave me a very bad job assignment. They gave me very unfair performance expectations. They gave me a very unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and then always ranked me in the bottom half. They forced me to retire when I was 49. I should write about the aforesaid. The more of the following that federal employees are, the fewer Civil Service protections that they have: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and if their ancestors have been in America for a long time.

REAL CLEAR POLITICS
— Democrats are on the wrong side of normal. The people — they’re out of step with the norms of society. To vote for Democrats is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— FRONT PAGE: Trump’s Next Fight With Universities: Racial ‘Proxies’ in Admissions. Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action and DEI to give preference to Democrats and to RINOs, that is, to get rid of Republicans. Because Democrats and RINOs are far more of the following than Republicans, Democrats and RINOs give them preference big time: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about how Democrats and RINOs above me who have given the most preference to those who are the aforesaid since the 1960s.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In late July, Attorney General Pam Bondi warned in a memo against using “unlawful proxies” for race—such as geography or applicant essays on overcoming hardships—in admissions. 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.”)

— Advocate conservative principles I advocate conservative principles. I advocate the Republican Party platform. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write about my critics/opponents and the planks that they reject. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— Slaves built America. My critics/opponents have always stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In defense of my ancestors, I have always stressed that they always lived in northeast Illinois. That on my father’s side, they worked in a brick factory in Chicago for 10 years before they homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township. That on my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border before they bought that farm.
