— State program helping Illinois students save thousands on grad school. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. By then, it was too late. Why didn’t I earn an MBA sooner? My father died suddenly when I was a senior at NIU in 1969. My mother had never worked outside of the home. My brother was having troubles. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them. I needed a job. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was a job that did not really require a college degree. I started taking graduate evening business courses, but only one at a time. Because of that, I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. By then, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 4 years because again, I took only one graduate evening accounting course at a time. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, again, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in finance from IIT until I was 48. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 5 years because again, I took only one graduate evening finance course at a time. Why did I take only one graduate evening course at a time? Because that was all that I could afford in terms of time, attention, and money. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out. I should write about that.

— The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has launched an investigation into an Illinois school district based on a teacher’s allegations of racial segregation practices. The complaint, filed by the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) on behalf of teacher Dr. Stacy Deemar, alleges Evanston-Skokie School District 65 is acting in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by using “privilege walks” and other racial practices at school. “The policies and practices to which the District allegedly subjects students and teachers shocks the conscience. Amid a dismal academic achievement record, the District appears to focus on unlawfully segregating students by race, instructing students to step forward and others to step back on the basis of race, and associating ‘Whiteness’ with the devil. If true, how is this conceivable in America today?” Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in a press release on May 1 by the Trump Education Department.

— A former bartender emerges as a Trump resistance leader. Are you in politics? If so, what did you do before that? I audited federal agencies for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I collected delinquent taxes 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. I earned a CPA license. I earned professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.

In addition, they ignored, dismissed, and belittled a) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) my passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) the fact that GAO audits IRS. They outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically used the aforesaid to force me to take $23,472/year pay cut to transfer. I should write about the aforesaid.

TOWNHALL
— Trump Eliminates Another Vestige of Racial Discrimination— the Fraud of Disparate Impact. Of all the many tests that I have taken, fewer Blacks, Hispanics, and/or females a) took those tests than I did and b) fewer passed those tests than I did. According to my critics/opponents, that was because I benefitted from discrimination against Blacks, Hispanics, and/or females. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. The many tests that I took and pasted enabled me a) to earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, c) to get hired by the Post Office when I was 18, by IRS when I was 22, and by GAO when I was 31, and d) to get promoted by IRS when I was 23, 24, and 25 and by GAO when I was 38..

No one calls my tunes because I have enough motivation, time, money, ability, experience, and good health to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in the news media should fully disclose where their money comes from. The money I need to put the newsletter together and to send them out comes from my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and Social Security (SS). Previously, my money came from what I earned working for GAO (1980-1997), IRS (1971-1980), Firestone Stores (1970-1972), Chrysler (1970), Post Office (1966-1969), John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club (1966), and S.S. Kresge (1964-1966). Of course, my critics/opponents want Trump to cut CSRS and SS.

— Financial tips to help you plan post-WEP/GPO repeal. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents will be beyond furious if my application for spousal benefits is approved. Prior to the WEP/GPO repeal, my Social Security (SS) was only $3,000/year. My post-WEP/GPO SS might increase from $6,000/year to $20,000/year. Since 1978, my critics/opponents have been beyond envious of my wife’s salaries. In my defense, I paid into SS 1964-1973 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.

Further my GPA was not that great, and while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my scores on the four parts of the examination were not that great. Further, the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young females.

— Saigon fell 50 years ago. Back then, I was a 26-year-old IRS employee. Virtually all of my superiors and supervisors were Democrat veterans. They blamed non-veteran Republicans for the fall of Saigon. I was one of an extremely few non-veteran Republicans in the office. My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors who were veterans held my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

AUTO GUIDE
— Dodge Charger Daytona EV Could Get Better Batteries in 2026. Nevertheless, my 6,000-pound 2025 Dodge Charger R/T Plus does the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 135 MPH. Level 1 charging is fast enough for me. But because Dodge gave me a free $600 Level II charger, I had it installed along with a 220V 50 Amp outlet in my Iron Gate Car Condo for $1,125.
https://www.autoguide.com/auto/manufacturers/dodge/dodge-charger-daytona-ev-could-get-better-batteries-soon-44619442
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stellantis and Factorial Energy have validated a semi-solid-state battery with 375 Wh/kg energy density, offering faster charging and improved cold-weather performance, with real-world testing set to begin in Dodge Charger Daytona EVs in 2026. Weight savings could be substantial, with up to 2,000 pounds cut from total vehicle mass, improving EV efficiency, performance, and reducing manufacturing costs. Production challenges remain, with high costs and manufacturing difficulties still to overcome before the technology can be widely adopted.)

Overall Ford brand sales slipped 1.2%, highlighting growing consumer interest in EVs as traditional models like the Explorer and Expedition also saw sales declines.)
