— Trump’s buyout offer to federal workers is about more than just downsizing government. Go back to 2020, when Trump signed Schedule F, an executive order to reclassify career civil servants and make them easier to fire and then replace with political loyalists. Buyouts are a back-door way of doing the same in 2025.

— Del Mar Resigns As State GOP Co-Chair Effectively Immediately. ‘Illinois Republican Party Has Long Stood For Transparency, Character, And Integrity — Values I Believe Are Being Compromised’ (COMMENT: What specific wrongdoing does Del Mar allege and what is Salvi’s specific response?)
https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/del-mar-resigns-as-state-gop-co-chair-effectively-immediately/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a letter to Illinois Republican Chairwoman Kathy Salvi, Aaron Del Mar of Palatine announced his resignation, effective immediately, as co-chair of the Illinois Republican Party. “I cannot and will not be complicit in the current course of action within the party,” Del Mar’s letter sent today (Wednesday) said. “The Illinois Republican Party has long stood for transparency, character, and integrity — values I believe are being compromised. I refuse to remain silent as these principles are undermined.” The Journal & Topics was unable to immediately reach Del Mar Wednesday to clarify what those issues were. In early December, Del Mar announced his intention to resign from his role as state party co-chair. At the time, he told the Journal he planned to explore a run for a statewide office and would step down as state party co-chair in January or February. Salvi, at the time, sent a letter to other state party officials saying, “I have asked him (Del Mar) to continue serving as co-chair until a successor is named and the transition is finalized. He has graciously agreed. I am deeply grateful for Aaron’s dedicated service to the party and look forward to working alongside him as we continue our efforts to Make Illinois Red Again.” Del Mar in his letter Wednesday said: “I can no longer, in good conscience, remain in this role while awaiting a successor and facilitating a transition. To be clear I will remain in my duly elected role as state central committeeman, (of the) 5th Congressional District.” Del Mar is also the Palatine Township Republican committeeman and is running for reelection as Palatine Township highway commissioner in the April 1 election.)

— Race and place can contribute to shorter lives, research suggests. The findings come as the Trump administration attacks equity programs. (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having tremendous unfair advantages in life because of my demographics: White, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, born in 1948, male, federal employee for almost 30 years, married since 1978, childless, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc. According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. I should write about that.)

— How the Trump administration is working to ‘combat’ DEI in the private sector (COMMENT: EEOC promoted DEI big time in 1971 when it forced Oldsmobile to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.)

— Durbin, Schakowsky Introduce Mentoring To Succeed Act (COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when my IRS mentor promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. In my defense, I was taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola at that time. None of my IRS coworkers had taken job-related graduate courses. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when my GAO mentor promoted me in 1986. In my defense, I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. None of my GAO coworkers had done anything close to that. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors got rid of my IRS and GAO mentors. Further, all my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

ILLINOIS GOP
— PRESS RELKEASE: New Year, Same Old Failures And Corruption From IL Dems  It may be a new year, but it’s the same old failures and corruption from Illinois Democrats. Between the Democrats’ lies and a new leftist official being caught red-handed in corruption schemes seemingly every week, the Illinois Democrat Party is in shambles. Take a look at some of the worst failures that have plagued Illinois Democrats to start the year: Corruption between Chicago Public Schools and Chicago’s Teachers Union: Rafael Yáñez, a Chicago Public Schools board member appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson, was found conspiring with the vice president of the Chicago’s Teachers Union regarding contract negotiations during a private meeting. The interaction highlights the suspiciously close relationship between CTU and CPS. More corruption was exposed when Johnson faced ethics concerns regarding his dual role at CPS and CTU. The situation outlines unholy alliances in Chicago’s education system under Democrat rule. Brandon Johnson hiding Chicago’s sanctuary city status: As President Trump follows through with his vow to deport dangerous illegal immigrants, Brandon Johnson, the worst mayor in America, refuses to say if he will testify before Congress about Chicago’s sanctuary city policies that hinder law enforcement and protect illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, Johnson has reaffirmed Chicago’s stance as a sanctuary city, a policy that has allowed around 50,000 illegal immigrants into the city. Given his past record, Chicagoans shouldn’t expect Johnson to step up to the plate and own his responsibilities anytime soon. Officials LIE about ICE deportations to ignite fear: Chicago Public Schools officials and Democrat politicians flat-out lied about ICE agents visiting Hamline Elementary to ignite fear and chaos in Chicago. President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan criticized Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for spreading fear instead of verifying the facts and demanded he apologize to ICE. No apologies yet. Bottom Line: President Trump has been in office for 11 days getting results while Illinois Democrats focus on infighting and continuing Chicago’s culture of corruption.

https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/29/the-view-whoopi-goldberg-karoline-leavitt-wokeness/
(FROM WIKIPEDIA: Leavitt previously served as the national press secretary for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. She was an assistant press secretary and presidential writer during the first Donald Trump administration as well as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump Super PAC. In 2022, she ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Hampshire’s 1st district, winning the Republican nomination before losing in the general election to Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas. Karoline Claire Leavitt was born in Atkinson, New Hampshire, where she was raised in the Catholic faith. Her family owned an ice cream shop and a used truck dealership in Plaistow, New Hampshire. She attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts. She then attended Saint Anselm College on a scholarship for NCAA Division II college softball. Leavitt was outspoken on campus about her support for the Trump administration. Her op-eds in the school newspaper include a defense of Trump’s travel ban and a critique of the news media.

— What to Know About Trump’s Plan to Slash the Federal Work Force. The Office of Personnel Management sought to entice civilian federal employees to resign, as President Trump seeks to reshape the U.S. government. Here are details of the plan. (COMMENT: In 1993, when I was 45 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO “offered” $25,000 buyouts and early retirement to get rid of its older White male non-veteran employees who they had not promoted to GS-15, currently $163,749-$180,974/year in today’s dollars. I was eligible because I had 25 years of federal service – 13 with GAO, 9 with IRS, and 3 with the Post Office. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 just before their “offer” expired. If I had not succumbed, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. Things that I did that helped me survive 1993-1997 include my a) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, b) my becoming a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981, and CPA in 1979, and c) my earning master’s degrees in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and in business from Loyola in 1976.)

For all the many tests that I took and passed 1966-1997 earning a bachelor’s degree (management), three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting) and a professional license (CPA), far fewer who took and passed those tests were minority or female than were White or male. According to Democrat leaders, that is because Republicans discriminate against Democrats.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of “time and experience” as the marker of whether they should be promoted or hold senior roles in companies, they leaned into impact and results. The message to employers was, “If we don’t promote, we don’t retain. If we don’t accept the rationale, we aren’t creating a culture for growth.” This also led to built-in pressure for not only millennials but Gen Z that if you are not moving up at a clipped paced and being promoted every year or two, you are not managing your career success effectively.)
