HR MORNING
— Hit with a bias claim? Here’s what you need to beat it. – Tom D’Agostino
(COMMENT: I should write a book about pretext. Because it is illegal to discriminate because of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, and/or political affiliation if you are a government employee, etc., those who discriminate use pretexts. Most commonly, discriminators foist negative stereotypes of your demographics upon you. If you are White, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Whites and you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, racist, etc. If you are male, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against women and you are a sexist. If you are older, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against younger people. If you are heterosexual, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against LGBTQers and you are a bigot. If you are Protestant, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Protestants. If you are German American, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-German Americans. If you are Republican, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Republicans. I would focus on pretexural discriminators who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. According to Pluralism ( https://pluralism.org/stereotypes-and-prejudice ), Protestants are anti-Catholic and anti-Semite. According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans ), negative German stereotypes include being Nazis and not having a sense of humor. According to Babbel ( https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/false-german-stereotypes ), negative German stereotypes include being unfriendly and loving cars.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s common sense, really: Employers accused of taking action against an employee for an illegal reason must be prepared to say what the real reason was – and that it was perfectly legitimate. In a typical case, articulating a nondiscriminatory reason volleys the burden to the plaintiff to show that the proffered reason is not real but instead is just a pretext for unlawful bias. And if the plaintiff can’t show pretext, the case usually ends.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE

(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hate federal employees and who hate federal retirees and who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) conservative and religious leaders, and d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most adverse actions against me.)

— Big banks with history of lending inequities dominate competition for city deposits – Fran Spielman
(COMMENT: When did you first borrow money, from whom, and for what? I first borrowed money ($3,000) in October of 1971 when I was 23 years old from a big downtown Chicago bank to buy a new 1972 Chevy Corvette. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE had been stolen in Chicago in August of that year and I had gotten a $2,500 insurance settlement. I had bought a 1962 Chevy BelAir for everyday use. I had worked for IRS since June of 1971 and I was working part-time pumping gasoline for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969.)

— How to keep stress during college from sabotaging your future – Victoria Bell
(COMMENT: What caused you the most stress while you were earning your bachelor’s degree? For me, it was fearing that I would not be able to get a good job when I graduated. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Further, they were under big pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. But that job did not really require a bachelor’s degree, it did not provide me with valuable work experience, advancement opportunities were limited, and my boss, who did not hire me, disapproved of my avoiding the draft, having a college degree, being a Republican, being Protestant, and being German American.)

— Public Displays of Resignation: Saying ‘I Quit’ Loud and Proud. People aren’t just leaving their jobs. They are broadcasting it. – Emma Goldberg
(COMMENT: When I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. But that job did not really require a bachelor’s degree, it did not provide me with valuable work experience, advancement opportunities were limited, and my boss, who did not hire me, disapproved of my avoiding the draft, having a college degree, being a Republican, being Protestant, and being German American. When I accepted a job offer and gave my boss my 2-week notice, he abruptly and rudely fired me. He would not have done that if I had been a veteran, Democrat, Catholic, or Irish American.)

— COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs will discourage conservatives from being Republican Precinct Committeemen. They can stress how the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party treat conservatives like me.

FAST COMPANY
— Too many DEI plans are ineffective. Here are 3 ways companies can ensure progress. After so much change, firms must do more than make empty promises. – MICHAEL V. NGUYEN
(COMMENT: What would your superiors say that they did to promote DEI? If they were honest, my Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair 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, 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

CAMPAIGN SCHOOL
— 10 Main Reasons Candidates Lose Elections – Brian Floyd
(COMMENT: I should write a book about all the Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have lost elections and why they lost those elections. I would focus on those who blame me for their losses. I would focus on those who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses. I would focus on those who blame what I have done as a Republican Precinct Committeeman for their losses. I would focus on those who blamed what I did raising money from DuPage Republicans so that they could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019 and as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004 for their losses. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on their political consultants, their major donors, their pollsters, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)

GLOBE AND MAIL
— APRIL 1, 2021 FLASHBACK: Slowly but surely the government is gathering the media into its ghastly embrace – ANDREW COYNE
(COMMENT: I am an independent political/government reporter/journalist/editor. All the time and money needed to put together GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to send them out comes from me. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes could hint/imply/argue/shout that because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party manipulate/dominate me. But the facts show otherwise. I am elected, not appointed. Every 2 years, I continue to run for Republican Precinct Committeeman notwithstanding the many adverse actions that the aforesaid, their operatives, and their dupes have taken against me. Of course, those adverse actions have harmed my ability to get out the vote for Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. Ever-increasingly, MTRO leaders make it clear a) that they would never appoint me as a Republican Precinct Committeeman and that they blame me for all the problems that they and MTRO have had, are having, and will have.)
