— A few questions for those conservatives so eager to cut the pensions of government employees. If all you’re doing is cutting costs at the expense of lives and futures, I don’t see public sector workers accepting that. Nor would it have my support. – Jeffrey Taylor, Irving Park
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout at those who have financial, health, and/or other problems a) that I have had a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance since I was 49 years old in 1997 and b) that the aforesaid are far too generous. In my defense, a) I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, b) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. Further, my Social Security is only 1/3 of what it should be because I get a CSRS pension.)

— Equity Elementary: “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Staff in Public Schools – Jay Greene, Ph.D. and James Paul
(COMMENT: How soon, if not already, will the following have Chief Diversity Officers: your employer if you are still employed, the organizations that you are a member of, and the governments that you are under?)
https://www.heritage.org/education/report/equity-elementary-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-staff-public-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An analysis of student test-score data shows that employing a chief diversity officer (CDO) in K–12 school districts does not contribute to closing achievement gaps and is even likely to exacerbate those gaps. If CDOs are not accomplishing their stated goals, what is accomplished by creating these positions? CDOs may be best understood as political activists who articulate and enforce an ideological orthodoxy within school districts. They help to mobilize and strengthen the political influence of one side. The creation of CDOs tilts the political playing field against parent and teacher efforts to remove the radical ideology of critical race theory and other illiberal ideals from school curricula and practices.)

PRESS HERALD
— COMMENT: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, the Republican Party lets those who reject some, most, if not all of its platform, that is, it lets Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs a) serve as Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, b) hold leadership positions in Republican township/ward/county/state organizations, and c) run for government offices. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) stop me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, c) end my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) end my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, e) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, f) try to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and g) end my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

CHICAGO BOOTH
— Why progress on the racial wage gap has stalled – DEE GILL, EMILY LAMBERT
(COMMENT: What did your superiors do to narrow the racial wage gap? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and b) gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. My federal pension a) is only 41% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972 in today’s dollars.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— JANUARY 22, 2014 FLASHBACK: What is a Precinct Committeeman? – Doug Ibendahl
(COMMENT: I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I should write a book about how the following treat Republican Precinct Committeemen: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders, d) religious leaders, and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRO meetings and events. I served as the MTRO webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. I have attended all the IRP state conventions since 2000. Between 2005 and 2019 I raised many thousands of dollars from many scores of Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. All five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct in 2003. I organized Wheaton’s 2004 and 2005 9/11 ceremonies. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.)

My great great grandfather on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854 and bought land just northeast of downtown Crete in 1864. My grandfather had a house built on that land in 1926 which I lived in 1954-1972 and which my brother continues to live.)

FEDERAL TIMES
— Federal retirees to see record high cost-of-living increase for Social Security – Jessie Bur (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension the most. My CSRS pension a) is only 41% of what my GAO salary was 49 years old in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.federaltimes.com/management/pay-benefits/2021/10/13/federal-retirees-to-see-record-high-cost-of-living-increase-for-social-security/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The change affects the COLA for both Social Security recipients and federal retirees under the Civil Service Retirement System, which is only available to feds that started their federal employment before 1987.)

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— Illinois CPA Society seeks minority interns – Sean McCabe (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

— Biden’s Failed ATF Nominee Admits He Torpedoed Black Agent’s Promotion Track, But He’s Not a Racist – Matt Vespa
(COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government did everything that they could to promote their employees who were Democrats, and especially those who were minority and/or female. That is, my Democrat superiors in the federal government did everything that they could to get rid of their employees who were Republicans, and especially those who were White and/or male.

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
