To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They purposely wasted what I had learned about IRS working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

It brings a lot of connections, a lot of opportunities. It’s like everybody gets a chance.” Narvaez, 17, of Englewood, is just one of many students enrolled in the Career & Technical Education program, a Chicago Public Schools initiative that provides students with career-focused experiential learning programs. On Thursday, Chance the Rapper visited the South Side high school to announce that his nonprofit, SocialWorks, would give $100,000 in grants to five Chicago schools to support career-focused programs over the next three years, which will include Simeon Career Academy’s barber and cosmetology program.)

They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. All that my Democrat IRS superiors could use to justify their never promoting me beyond GS-12 was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers and my education deductions. All that my Democrat Post Office superiors could use to justify their forcing me to resign was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my sick leave requests. They falsely claimed that I was not available to work enough part-time hours.

However, they hinted/implied that they forced me to retire because that was what Congress wanted them to do. They also hinted/implied it was a) because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, c) because they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, d) because they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) because they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and e) because they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS.

— Minneapolis shooting: 8-year-old and 10-year-old killed, 17 others hurt at Catholic school
https://abc7chicago.com/post/shooting-reported-catholic-school-minneapolis-governor-says/17662514/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shooter died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, O’Hara said. The FBI identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who was born Robert Westman. Driver’s license information reviewed by ABC News described Westman as a female, born on June 17, 2002. A name change application for a minor born on the same date, June 17, 2002, was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” . . . Frey stressed at a second news conference, “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate.”)

The shooter’s mother also applied to change her child’s name from Robert to Robin in Dakota County in 2019, according to court documents obtained by FOX 9. According to the name change filing, Westman identified “as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”)

— What to know about the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/27/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children inside before dying by suicide. He said the shooter, 23-year-old Robin Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and had legally purchased the weapons recently. O’Hara said authorities are aware of a video showing writings that the shooter had timed to be released on YouTube. The content has been taken down and is under review as investigators try to determine a motive, the police chief said. Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity wasn’t clear. In 2020, a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”)

And it is a broken immigration system which both parties have failed to fix” . . . “look to the undocumented and find qualities they share in common” . . . “So many of the undocumented have for decades been connected to us” . . . “They are here not by invasion, but by invitation — an invitation to harvest the fruits of the earth that feed our families; an invitation to clean our tables, homes and hotel rooms; an invitation to landscape our lawns; and yes, even an invitation to care for our children and elders.” . . . “Looking for connections instead of differences, people can respond to this moment and thus reclaim our calling to live as authentic persons in the image of divine persons.”)

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

WALL STREET JOIRNAL
— The GOP’s SALT Deal Folly. Republicans make it easier for Democrats to raise state taxes. Before SALT, my wife and I paid less federal income tax by itemizing, both of us staring in 1978 and I starting in 1972. My critics/opponents were always furious about that. I deducted my graduate business and accounting course expenses 1972-1980 and my graduate finance course expenses 1992-1997.

— You Can Still Negotiate a ‘Best and Final’ Job Offer. Job hunters can talk their way into a better deal, even if the salary is set. Ever since I was 31 years old in 1980, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my taking a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that pay cut proved a) that IRS had grossly overpaid me, that is, that IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1983, and 1974 and b) that was an extremely bad person because 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, currently $99,069/year, because much of what I would do for GAO was similar to what I did for IRS, because GAO audits IRS, because I has almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, because I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and because I had earned an MBA in 1976. I should write about the aforesaid.
