(FROM THE ARTICLE: Author and historian Thomas Sowell, who has written frequently on slavery, has pointed out that the United States was actually the first country in world history to ban the practice. “Slavery was just not an issue, not even among intellectuals, much less among political leaders, until the 18th century – and then it was an issue only in Western civilization,” Sowell wrote. “Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th century were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other American leaders,” Sowell said. “You could research all of the 18th century Africa or Asia or the Middle East without finding any comparable rejection of slavery there. But who is singled out for scathing criticism today? American leaders of the 18th century.”)

ALTON TELEGRAPH
— County board trims 34 precincts. State-required change will save election costs. – Scott Cousins
(COMMENT: I only learned of precinct consolidation in Illinois this morning. I erroneously relied on the following to advise me of such things: the DuPage County Election Division (DCED), my representative on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee, the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization. I understand that at its January 11, 2022 meeting, the DuPage County Board will vote to consolidate DuPage County’s 930 precincts into just 607, a loss of 323 precincts. That includes consolidating Milton Township’s 130 precincts into just 83, a loss of 47 precincts. I have asked DCED to email me the new map for Milton Township and the map for the new precinct that I am in. I should write a book about the 2015 Gerrymandering of my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton.)
https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Board-reduces-precincts-in-response-to-new-state-16729105.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Madison County Board has approved a new precinct map that reduces the number of precincts to 191 from the current 225. The board took the action after new state laws were signed in mid-November by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The changes were approved at a special Madison County Board meeting Thursday night. The new map was approved unanimously 21-0, with seven members absent, two participating remotely and one open seat. The changes are the last to be completed as part of the decennial census. In November the board approved a new Madison County Board district map cutting the board size by three to 26 members. “Reducing the total number of election precincts by consolidating 225 into 191 will save taxpayers 15 percent on every election held in Madison County,” said Madison County Board Member Chris Guy, R-Maryville, who chairs the Government Relations Committee. “Not only will a reduction result in cost-savings to the taxpayers, a reduction will also bring more efficiency and integrity to the election process.” The new law requires precincts to be “as near as may be practicable, 1,200 registered voters,” according to information provided by Guy. Prior to that the number was 500 registered voters per precinct. The new state law also requires precinct maps to be approved by Jan. 14, the day after candidates are allowed to begin collecting signatures to get on the 2022 ballot. The full county board took the precinct action after a special meeting by the Government Relations Committee, which approved the new precinct maps.)

Their top priority is demonizing, denigrating, and condemning Republicans as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)

— What top priorities do your critics/opponents have? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

All my critics/opponents have the following top priorities:


— Stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, but failing that, stop everyone from reading those newsletters
— Destroy those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that they cannot manipulate/dominate, that refuse to glorify and praise them, that refuse to pander to them, that refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, that refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or that refuse to give them money
— Destroy those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that support planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject including the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks

I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the success that they have had destroying the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, me, etc.

I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton

I would focus on those who succeeded last year in stopping me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

I would focus on the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

— 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.)

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.)

(COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. To better help them hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority and/or female, the Democrats who run the federal government have dramatically lowered and made more subjective federal hiring, federal retention, and federal promotion standards. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I should write a book about my Democrat IRS and GAO coworkers and subordinates who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or fewer job-related professional certifications and licenses.)

FORBES
— Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Retirement Pay Will Exceed $350,000 Per Year – The Largest In U.S. Federal Government History – Adam Andrzejewski
(COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my GS-13 Step 10 GAO salary was $132,845/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $54,864/year today a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-13, and d) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and had worked for the federal government for almost 30 years and had almost a year of unused sick leave. Generally, you reach the 80% limitation when you have worked for the federal government for 42 years not including accumulated sick leave; that would have been 2010 for me. 80% of GS-13 Step 10 salary is $106,276/year. 80% of GS-14 Step 10 salary is $125,583/year. 80% of GS-15 Step 10 salary and Senior Executive Service salary is $138,000/year.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/12/28/dr-anthony-faucis-retirement-pay-will-exceed-350000-per-year–the-largest-in-us-federal-government-history/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fauci has 55 years of service as a federal employee. For the second year in a row, Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee and out earned the president, four star generals, and roughly 4.3 million of his colleagues. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Fauci earned $434,312 in 2020, the latest year available, up from $417,608 in 2019. . .Federal employees with Fauci’s length of service can retire to earn “80 percent of [their] high-3 average salary, plus credit for [their] sick leave,” according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. . .So, at this point, we can use only the last three published years of his salary — 2018: $399,625; 2019: $417,608; and 2020: $434,312 — to calculate his potential retirement earnings. Dr. Fauci earned a total of $1.252 million from 2018-2020 in salary as a federal employee. If he’d left federal service at the end of FY2020, figuring 80% of his highest three-year average, would mean a federal pension of $333,745 a year, plus cost-of-living increases (($1,251,545/3) x 80% = $333,745). However, Fauci’s unpublished FY2021 and FY2022 salaries are likely commensurate, if not higher than his 2020 salary. Therefore, his retirement pay would be closer to $347,500 a year. (($1,302,936/3) x 80%).

My 2022 Civil Service Retirement System pension will be $58,101/year. That is a) $2,739/year less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars and b) only 43% what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)

CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY
— MAY 19, 2014 FLASHBACK: A wealth of advice. Nearly $2 billion flowed through consultants in 2003-2004 federal elections. – Sandy Bergo
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have acted like they took advice from my critics/opponents a) to not read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to blame me and my newsletters for all their problems, for all your problems, for all my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, my critics/opponents blamed what I did raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that they could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019 and my serving as a) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, b) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010, d) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and e) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2000-2004.)
https://publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/campaign-consultants/a-wealth-of-advice/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the 2004 federal races, more than $1.85 billion flowed through a professional corps of consultants whose influence plays an important, though largely unexamined, role in the unrelenting escalation of campaign spending, a groundbreaking Center for Public Integrity study has found. The money going to these consultants amounted to more than half of the total spending by presidential candidates, national party committees, general election candidates for Congress, and so-called “527”s — independent political groups. The high cost of running for office raises concerns because fundraising demands can ultimately bind elected officials to special interest donors and lobbyists who help with fundraising — deepening the widely held perception that politicians serve the interests of large contributors over those of constituents. Potential candidates who can’t meet the fundraising demands are shut out.)
