(DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, I would have presented a jury with many examples in which my Democrat GAO superiors promoted over me their Democrat employees who were female, minority, and/or younger and who had less job-related work experience, less education, and/or fewer professional certifications and licenses than I had. If I had been a Democrat, a female, and/or a minority, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)

(COMMENT: I should write a book about Diersen v. GAO. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrats GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) to further punish me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) to further punish me for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) to allow them to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. Previously, they had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In my book, I would focus on RINO federal elected officials in Illinois, their staff members, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and staff members who sided with my Democrat GAO superiors.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— In the era of wokeness, a white male wins a discrimination case – CHRISTOPHER TREMOGLIE
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Diersen v. GAO. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrats GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) to further punish me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) to further punish me for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) to allow them to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. Previously, they had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In my book, I would focus on RINO federal elected officials in Illinois, their staff members, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and staff members who sided with my Democrat GAO superiors.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/in-the-era-of-wokeness-a-white-male-wins-a-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a world of woke extremism, one North Carolina man stood up to the bullies and won. David Duvall, a former Novant Health executive, was awarded $10 million after being fired for discriminatory reasons, WNCT reported. Duvall is a white male and asserted he was replaced in his job for purposes of diversity, not merit. For five years, Duvall was the senior vice president for marketing and communications at Novant before he lost his job. Luke Largess, Duvall’s attorney, stated , “he was fired and replaced by two women, one a racial minority, during a Diversity and Inclusion initiative in 2018 that included explicit goals to remake the demographics of Novant’s senior leadership.” Duvall took his case to the courts, and a jury sided with him. WNCT reported that a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina’s Charlotte Division found that Duvall demonstrated “that his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male) was a motivating factor in Novant Health’s decision to terminate him.” Furthermore, the jury decided that Novant Health did not prove “that it would have made the same decision to terminate David Duvall regardless of his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male).”)

— Dem Hypocrites at CNN Still In Full Panic Over GOP Redistricting – Lydia Switzer
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/lydia-switzer/2021/10/27/dem-hypocrites-cnn-still-full-panic-over-gop-redistricting
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Republicans redistrict, CNN lambasts their partisanship, but when Democrats gerrymander? Radio silence. Last week, John Avlon accused Texas Republicans of crafting a “blatantly partisan, pro-white map,” while ignoring the proposed Illinois congressional map giving even more power to Democrats; the map, according to FiveThirtyEight, would add one Democratic seat and subtract two Republican seats. This would leave only 3 out of 17 House seats to Republicans (17.6% of seats), despite 40% of Illinois citizens voting for Trump in 2020.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— A Wealth Tax. What are the pluses and minuses? – David Leonhardt
(COMMENT: The more of your income that you spend on immediate pleasures (vacations, spectator sports, fancy restaurant meals, pets, booze, gambling, pot, etc.), the less wealth that you will have.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/28/briefing/wealth-tax-spending-bill-manchin.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans pay an annual wealth tax on their largest asset. It’s called property tax. Each year, they pay an amount equal to a small percentage of the estimated value of their house, and a house is by far the most valuable item that most families own. The very rich are different. While they pay property taxes too, their homes tend to make up a tiny share of their net worth. The bulk of their assets are not taxed. In past decades, other taxes — like the corporate tax (the burden of which falls on stockholders) and the estate tax — served almost as de facto wealth taxes. But those other taxes have declined, causing the total federal tax rate on the wealthy to plummet 🙂

WALL STREET JOURNAL

(COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat plants and the RINOs who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015.

Previously, they had a) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, b) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, c) ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, d) ended my Illinois Center Right Center (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, e) tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, f) viciously ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and g) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

(COMMENT: I should survey the following to determine who they consider the worse right-wingers are in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc. Those who consider me to me a right-winger a) stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans this year so DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, c) ended my WCC Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, e) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, f) tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, g) viciously ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and h) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

https://suburbanchicagoland.com/2021/10/27/illinois-quickly-becoming-a-one-party-tyranny-as-bad-officials-drag-it-down/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Failed Democrats like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx are not only dragging Cook County down the tubes but they are also dragging the state down with it. Failure of officials like Gov. J.B. Pritzker to speak out against Lightfoot and Foxx tend to aggravate the state’s dysfunctional policies as businesses and homeowners flee to other states. Among those leaving are Chicago Police officers who are being chased out by Lightfoot’s failed policies. The Chicago mess is reflected in the tightening grip Democrats have on the congressional seats as diversity in views vanishes and undermines the public understanding of issues.)

(COMMENT: Because Biden is a Democrat, no one uses his avoiding the draft against him. My biggest mistake in life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1971 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997.)

(COMMENT: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a 21% percent pay cut ($20,361/year in today’s dollars) to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me. They had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They had ignored/dismissed/condemned the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, a) GAO would not have forced me to take a pay cut to transfer and b) IRS would not have taken the adverse actions against that it did.)

The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republican candidates reject, the more discouraged that conservatives are to help elect those candidates. But wait, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, more and more and more Republican candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that they are “moderate,” that is, that they reject many planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican.)

— Journalists Fret as Hong Kong Civil Society Buckles – Austin Ramzy
(COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, conservative-hating RINOs, their operatives, and their dupes can crow about their a) success in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks and b) harming the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. So far, conservative-hating RINOs have not been able to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/world/asia/hong-kong-civil-society.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unions have folded. Political parties have shut down. Independent media outlets and civil rights groups have disappeared. The Hong Kong government, its authority backed fully by Beijing, is shutting down the city’s civil society, once the most vibrant in Asia, one organization at a time. But one group, the Hong Kong Journalists Association, has refused to fold, even as Hong Kong’s security secretary repeatedly singles it out for public criticism. “We will try to fight to the last moment,” said Ronson Chan, the association’s chairman. “But honestly, it’s a gamble. How cruelly will the Beijing government treat us? We know the history of journalists in the People’s Republic of China.” The authorities have used a national security law, which was introduced last year after months of widespread antigovernment protest, to silence dissent. Dozens of groups have been forced to disband.)
