But then, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) and got rid of the IRS manager who had a) promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633) in 1972, b) promoted me to GS-11 in 1973, c) got me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and d) promoted me to GS-12 in 1974.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: n Oregon widow recently filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) because officials won’t allow her to adopt children from the foster care system. Why won’t they let Jessica Bates adopt? Because she, as a practicing Christian, refuses to submit to gay and transgender ideologies. Bates’s complaint is worth reading for anyone concerned about religious freedom. According to her complaint, Bates “initially progressed through the application process without any problems” until ideological insanity reared its ugly head.)

— When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Threatens Lives – HEATHER MAC DONALD
https://www.newsweek.com/when-race-trumps-merit-how-pursuit-equity-threatens-lives-opinion-1794872
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And so medical schools and medical societies are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession. As with all disparate impact analyses, that demolition of standards rests on an a priori truth: that there is no academic skills gap between whites and Asians, on the one hand, and blacks and Hispanics, on the other. Therefore, any test or evaluation on which blacks and Hispanics score worse than whites and Asians is biased and should be eliminated.)
— Democrats say “Bud Light Boycott Tears Republicans Apart.” I should write a book about those who continue to boycott me. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research against me, against conservatives, against platform Republicans, and against all Republicans.

— Democrats say “Black history has taught us that Big Tobacco is not an ally.” Tragically, Big Tobacco had tremendous success in getting my parents to smoke. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

ECONOMIST
— Artificial intelligence is reaching behind newspaper paywalls. Publishers long accused tech firms of profiting from their content. Now they have a point. (COMMENT: www.gopillinois.com has never been paywalled and it never will be. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have always been free and free of advertising and donation requests and they always will be. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been beyond furious about that. They have always been beyond furious that since 2000 that I have had the time, money, ability, experience, and motivation to put together and send out the newsletters free of charge and without any advertising or donation requests and to post copies of them on www.gopillinois.com . I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

DAILY CAMPUS
— Don’t study political science – Nell Srinath (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I do not have a degree in political science. In my defense, I stress that GAO works for Congress and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year.)

MEDICAL NEWS TODAY
— Democrats ever-increasing a) run America and b) blame Republicans for the health problems that Blacks have. What health problems do/did you have?

OXFORD DICTIONARY

QUORA
— Productive member of society (COMMENT: What shows that you are a productive member of society? For me, it is my putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning. Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you are not a productive member of society? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who hint/imply/argue/shout that I am not a productive member of society. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, f) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, g) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or h) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have done the most to stop me from sending the newsletters out and to stop everyone from reading them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
