The more of the following that employees were, the higher that they were on those lists: Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. I never would have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned three job-related master’s degrees, b) earned six job-related professional certifications, and c) earned a job-related professional license.
https://www.opm.gov/news/secrets-of-opm/everyone-has-a-plan-until-you-step-into-the-ring/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For most of this year, the government has been operating under a series of hiring initiatives. Most notably, the president set a target of four reductions for every one new hire into government. We exceeded this goal – the government hired roughly 68,000 people this year, while approximately 317,000 employees left the government. . .First, we want to make sure the government has the right talent focused on the key priorities of the administration and that we are eliminating wasteful taxpayer expenses in areas that are inefficient, no longer required, or in direct contradiction of administration priorities. Simply put, we want agencies to focus their headcount resources on the most critical objectives that deliver maximum value to the taxpayer.)

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/news-from-outside-disappears-in-north-korea/ar-AA1R50NS
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For two hours every day, Lee Si-young and her colleagues broadcast uncensored foreign news into authoritarian North Korea. Her radio audience could go to jail if caught listening. Lee’s Seoul-based Free North Korea Radio station has tried for two decades to give real-time news to North Korea’s 26 million people. But Lee says she now feels a sense of crisis about her work as big government-funded broadcasters in the United States and South Korea have fallen silent this year because of major funding cuts and policy changes. “Our frustrations with the U.S. and South Korean governments are growing over their suspensions of radio broadcasts,” said Lee, a defector who heads the small, nongovernmental FNK radio station. “We’re afraid that they’ve abandoned North Korean residents.” Major channels broadcasting into North Korea fall silent. In North Korea, all radio and TV sets are fixed to state-run channels. But defectors have testified that they modified their radios or used smuggled ones to covertly tune in to foreign broadcasts at night for news their government didn’t want them to hear. That includes outside perspectives of the North’s ruling Kim dynasty, more affluent and freer Western lifestyles, and success stories about defectors.)

— John Fogerty ‘troubled’ by President Trump’s use of ‘Fortunate Son,’ issues cease and desist. DD: Since 1966, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. I was classified 1-A for the draft in 1966, but I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. But I was not a fortunate son. I had to work my way through college. To have money for college and for cars I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I did not appeal my 1-A draft classification, but what if I had done that? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had red/green color blindness.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2020/10/16/john-fogerty-troubled-president-trump-fortunate-son/3686095001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fogerty went on to explain that “Fortunate Son” is ironically an anti-war-movement anthem that criticizes privileged people who used their money and status to defer from the Vietnam War draft. The song has been treated as a patriotic working-class anthem, but listen past its star-spangled opening lines — “Some folks are born made to wave the flag/Ooh, they’re red, white and blue” — for Fogerty’s anti-establishment storytelling about how the poor were sent to fight and die in Vietnam while the wealthy were spared.)
— DD: Not all Americans agree on free speech. My critics/opponents certainly do not. According to my Democrat superiors in the federal government, I was not free to speak out against their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. According to RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, I am not free to speak out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, illegal drugs, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— Disobeying Military Orders Is Full of Risk. The military code strongly favors obedience. Orders are presumed to be lawful. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, I never disobeyed their orders to give preference to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not good enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes starting in 1971. But according to my critics/opponents, I was only able to accomplish the aforesaid starting when I was 18 in 1966 because I avoided the Vietnam War draft.

— EEOC Issues Technical Assistance on Protecting US Workers. DD: How bad are your demographics? My demographics are very bad. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.
https://www.shrm.org/advocacy/eeoc-issues-technical-assistance-on-protecting-us-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued a technical assistance document titled “Discrimination Against American Workers Is Against the Law.” Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is unlawful to discriminate against people based on race, color, sex, national origin, or religion — collectively known as protected characteristics. This is part of the EEOC’s continued focus on bias against U.S. workers. On Feb. 19, Andrea Lucas, then-acting chair of the EEOC, stated, “The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop.” The EEOC’s new technical assistance highlights that anti-American national origin discrimination is prohibited under Title VII. The document outlines that employment policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if motivated, in whole or in part, by people’s national origin, even that of U.S. citizens. Examples include discriminatory job advertisements that favor certain visa holders; unequal treatment in hiring, firing, promotions, or assignments; and workplace harassment that creates a hostile or abusive environment. For HR professionals, this technical assistance document reinforces the agency’s focus on enforcing national origin discrimination under Title VII, even though the underlying law has not changed. Employers should review policies and practices that may previously have gone unnoticed. The EEOC’s updated materials provide an opportunity for HR professionals to revisit policies, training, and communications to mitigate compliance risk.)

I became licensed CPA while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO when I was 32 in 1981. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid because I am a Republican, White, male, older, and non-veteran, that is, because I am not a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Further, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid because I am conservative, White, male, older, and non-veteran, that is, because I am not a RINO, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certifications like CPA and CFA require rigorous exams and experience, but can lead to career advancement. . .Mastering the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) License. Though technically not a certification, the certified public accountant (CPA) license is a powerful differentiator in tax preparation, business planning, and financial analysis. A CPA can represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), typically a privilege reserved for attorneys or enrolled agents. Additionally, certified public accountants often pursue significant operational roles in companies. These roles may be the chief financial officer (CFO) or the chief operating officer (COO). Finally, CPAs are well-versed in the double-entry system of accounting, making them highly proficient in financial statement analysis.)

I never refused orders to give them preference. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— How millions of illegal immigrants got jobs in the US. DD: All my employers would have hired noncitizens instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs like I had to because their parents had lots of money. Their parents bought them cars, paid their college expenses, and got them good jobs.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/3897219/how-millions-illegal-immigrants-got-jobs-us/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millions of illegal immigrants residing in the United States have managed to get jobs despite their immigration status. The fact that 8.5 million illegal immigrants have obtained work in the country is a result of employers paying workers under the table, unknowingly hiring workers who have committed document fraud, and hiring non-U.S. citizens whom the government authorizes to work temporarily. The largest number of illegal immigrants work in construction, followed by accommodation, food services, and manufacturing. Immigrants who are paid under the table are the most difficult for the federal government to track because they are often employed in person-to-person gigs. These include workers hired at home improvement stores or as house cleaners who offer their services on social media marketplaces, as well as businesses such as landscaping companies and restaurants. All employers in the U.S. are legally required to verify that new hires have completed an I-9 form, which requires the applicant’s Social Security number, proof of identity, and work authorization documentation. Select immigrants navigating immigration proceedings in court or who are temporarily protected from deportation may be issued a Social Security card for the purpose of working legally in the U.S., but this document does not confer U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. The Bipartisan Policy Center defended workers who are illegal immigrants and said many choose to file federal taxes on their own at the year’s end despite working off the books. In this case, workers without Social Security numbers use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS to report income and pay taxes on what they earn. “Many undocumented immigrants find ways to legally pay both federal income and payroll taxes even if they don’t have a Social Security number (which is normally required) and even if their income was earned by working illegally,” the BPC wrote in an analysis on illegal immigrants in the workplace. “Though there are many undocumented immigrants who are paid ‘under the table’ for their work and do not pay taxes on their income, many others do pay in the hope that it will someday help them become citizens,” the BPC analysis reads.)

NEW YORK POST
— Empowering New Yorkers through affordability. DD: What did you do to afford things? I took bad jobs that my peers would not stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. According to my critics/opponents, I was grossly overpaid for those jobs and my pension and retirement benefits are much too generous. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Alive and Ambulatory? Let’s Be Thankful for These Blessings. DD: I am thankful that my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have let me serve as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I am thankful that they let me serve as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-20210 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I am thankful that they let me stop video gambling in Wheaton in 2009 and the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Obviously, the aforesaid is sarcastic. I should write about my critics/opponents. According to my critics/opponents, I have never been thankful enough. According to them, I did not really earn what I have and I certainly do not disserve what I have. They stress that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments and a financial hardship deferment 1966-1971; that my parents provided me with room and board while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969; that I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE; that S.S Kresge hired me in 1964, the Post Office in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980; that IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974; that GAO promoted me in 1986; that I earned master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a professional license in 1981; that I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc.; that I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, and 27; that I got married in 1978 and we bought a home that year and had one built in 1984; and that we gave up trying to have children and we did not adopt or become foster parents. According to my critics/opponents, I owe everything that I have to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

Virtually all federal employees are Democrats. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997, all of my subordinates were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, and/or had major performance problems. I never refused orders to give them preference. I gave them lots of preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— Are Boomers Really To Blame for Our Money Struggles?

My critics/opponents stress that we would not have been able to save as much for our retirement if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft and if we had children.
https://www.aol.com/articles/rachel-cruze-boomers-really-blame-161605313.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because baby boomers have lived more within their means, avoiding overly expensive vacations and things like home remodels, and sometimes staying at the same jobs for years or even decades, Cruze calls them a very “content generation.” Millennials, on the other hand, are “trying to keep up with the Joneses” and often lead unsustainably expensive lifestyles, she said. Boomers may have been more content because when they turned 30, jobs were stable and housing was affordable. Millennials reached that age amid soaring costs, student loans and fewer long-term guarantees regarding the job market. Although the U.S. today is harder to afford for young people, millennials are leading the renovation trend, with 60% planning projects in 2025, according to Housing Wire. Millennials also are one of the biggest groups that were planning to increase their spending on travel at the end of 2024, according to Deloitte. Millennials’ spending habits have landed them deeper in debt, and there has been a huge increase in members of the generation entering debt consolidation, as per USA Today. Their debt can’t be directly attributed to the boomer generation, though. Instead, it may simply be that millennials are making costlier choices than their parents, along with, of course, living in a costlier world in general.)

I became eligible for early retirement when I was 45 years old in 1993. I survived until I was 49 in 1997.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Senate and Trump on a Collision Course Over the Leadership of the GAO
https://www.aei.org/op-eds/senate-and-trump-on-a-collision-course-over-the-leadership-of-the-gao/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gene L. Dodaro is not a household name. He is a mild-mannered man who is rarely seen without a necktie and dark suit, and who speaks in a flat, matter-of-fact tone. He has worked for the federal government since 1973. Yet, his retirement in December may well set off a separation-of-powers battle royale between President Donald Trump and Congress. Dodaro is the head of the Government Accountability Office, which has been a thorn in the president’s side during his second term. And by law, Trump gets to nominate the next Comptroller General, as the GAO’s leader is termed. Long before there was the Department of Government Efficiency, there was the GAO, which regularly publicly exposes governmental cost overruns and failed policies that squander taxpayer dollars. Congress established the nonpartisan agency in 1921 to audit agencies and help lawmakers root out fraud and rein in the federal deficit. Today, GAO may be best known for its frequent reporting on “improper payments” flowing from executive agencies, which amounted to more than $160 billion last year. The agency’s deep-dive investigations of federal agency operations, such as the use of solitary confinement in federal prisons, often stoke congressional oversight. Trump has made it a policy to bring to heel government watchdogs his administration views as needlessly interfering in matters best left to executive branch officials. Trump has fired or demoted at least 20 inspector generals, whose job it is to uncover illicit doings by executive branch agencies, since returning to office in January. The president also canned the heads of the Office of Government Ethics and the Office of Special Counsel, both of whom set policies aimed at curbing mischief by federal officials. Earlier this year, the White House sought to embed a team of individuals from the DOGE in GAO. The agency rebuffed them and released a letter it sent to DOGE that declared, “GAO is a legislative branch agency that conducts work for Congress. As such, we are not subject to DOGE or Executive Orders.” Repeatedly, the White House has clashed with GAO over its legal opinions faulting various executive agencies for failing to spend congressionally appropriated funds. Last month, for example, Dodaro’s team deemed illegal the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s “withholding, delaying, or effectively precluding the obligation or expenditure of budget authority” for a few disaster mitigation and relief programs. Subsequently, Russ Vought, the head of the president’s Office of Management and Budget, told executive agency heads that GAO’s reports and legal opinions should be considered “non-binding” on them. In September, the clash flared up again. Vought criticized GAO, telling a conference of conservatives, “We are not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity … something that shouldn’t exist.” Dodaro defended his agency in a statement to the media. “Clearly, Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability,” Dodaro said. “GAO’s mission is to support Congress in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities. During my tenure as Comptroller General alone, GAO’s work has saved taxpayers over $1.2 trillion and resulted in tens of thousands of improvements to how federal programs work.” Dodaro’s 15-year term expires on Dec. 29, and Trump quite probably would prefer he be replaced with someone who would call off GAO’s oversight dogs. At first blush, it might appear the president is likely to get his way. The GOP-controlled Senate has shown itself willing to vote for weak or ill-qualified nominees for high positions. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for example, was made the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services despite having little management experience and some crank ideas about health. Yet, a closer look suggests the president may face an uphill battle in the Senate. Republican senators have been willing to deep-six Trump appointees, particularly to low-profile positions. Trump has withdrawn a record high of 48 nominations this year. In recent weeks, they have forced the withdrawal of nominees to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Export-Import Bank, and the Office of Special Counsel. They also appear to be rejecting Trump’s proposed ambassador to Kuwait. Many, if not most, senators value GAO’s work. Unlike, say, communications from lobbyists, interest groups, and their political parties, GAO reports and opinions are factually-based. The agency does not get more money or rewards from helping a legislator understand why fraudsters can rip off the federal SNAP food program. GAO’s value would be greatly diminished if senators approved a new comptroller general who viewed himself as the president’s advocate and defender. Nor does it appear likely that Trump could circumvent the Senate and install an acting head of GAO. The law empowers the GAO deputy director to take over the top position when Dodaro’s term ends, and it requires Congress to form a commission headed by the majority and minority leaders of both chambers to propose potential nominees for the president’s consideration. And not to be forgotten is that Congress rebuffed Trump the last time he attempted this maneuver. This spring, his acting appointees were turned away from the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office, with the support of both Senate and House GOP leaders.)

— Reclaiming America’s Story, Before Her 250th Birthday
https://townhall.com/columnists/mark-weaver/2025/11/25/ben-franklin-n2666956
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet, as America nears its 250th birthday, we’re still subjected to revisionist accounts by historians who let personal ideology guide their conclusions. Their accounts drip with presentism, fixating on flaws while ignoring the revolutionary ideals that make us exceptional. Their echo chamber rings with the same off-key refrains about slavery and purported systemic racism. Let’s be clear: to all their shame, nearly every country in the world saw slavery within its borders. Some still do. Yet America is the only major country that ever fought a civil war to end it. Chattel slavery in southern states doesn’t define America; how we ended it — and that we ended it — does. Those who falsely allege systemic racism here ignore our constitutional provisions that guarantee equal protection of the law. It took more than a century for those promises to be kept, but they’ve never been stronger. Instances of racism exist because sin exists, and no country has done as much as America to quell it. Immigrants of every skin color seek to come here because they recognize that racism doesn’t define America — the muscular body of law that redresses individual cases of it does. No nation populated by imperfect humans can ever be perfect, but America stretches closest to that unreachable goal.)

The EEOC released new and updated educational materials to reaffirm and emphasize legal protections against national origin discrimination, which can include preferring foreign workers by advertising job openings as only available to H-1B visa holders. The EEOC’s efforts were a result of the department’s recently announced H-1B enforcement initiative Project Firewall, which aims to safeguard the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers. The ongoing project ensures employers prioritize qualified Americans when hiring and includes enforcement actions to hold employers accountable if they abuse the H-1B visa program.)

According to them, without her income and if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981.

— Pair of Democratic senators press for information on hiring, training standards for ICE agents. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, to hire, retain, and promote more young Democrat minorities and females, they ever-increasingly lowered standards. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my a) my job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my three job-related master’s degrees, c) my six job-related professional certifications, and d) my job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had.
https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news/2025/11/21/pair-of-democratic-senators-press-for-information-on-hiring–training-standards-for-ice-agents
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey are pressing the Department of Homeland Security for information on its standards and practices for hiring and training new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, warning the administration’s full-force effort to surge the number of officers it employs suggests it may be “cutting corners” and “loosening” requirements.)

But if I was young today, I doubt that I could find that motivation.

JUST THE NEWS
— GAO warns that IRS hasn’t implemented most recommendations to improve agency operations. DD: The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, I brought with me the knowledge of IRS operations that I had gained by working 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. The Democrats who ran GAO kept off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats.
https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/gao-says-irs-hasnt-implemented-most-their-recommendations-improve
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hasn’t implemented most of the Government Accountability Office’s “priority recommendations” and is still struggling with deep-rooted operational problems, according to a new report ( https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-25-108066.pdf ) released publicly this week. “GAO identified 30 priority recommendations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Since then, IRS has implemented five of those recommendations by designating a dedicated unit for addressing business identity theft fraud and assessing how online services may reduce taxpayer burden, among other things,” the GAO said. “In addition, GAO removed one recommendation related to reporting by third-party service providers, because it no longer warrants priority attention.” In a letter to Acting IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro highlighted urgent areas in need of attention, including the widening tax gap, taxpayer services, and cybersecurity. The GAO flagged 26 open high-priority recommendations and 204 other open recommendations that remain unresolved.)
GAO
— Surveillance: Potential Effects on Workers and Roles of Federal Agencies. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they monitored me very closely to find things to use against me, that is, to get rid of me. To make my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates envious of me, my Democrat GAO superiors stressed what I had including a) three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license, b) my wife’s income and job benefits, c) our having no dependents, d) our home in Wheaton, e) our cars, f) our being debt-free, g) our retirement savings, h) etc. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always painted themselves as being grossly underpaid. They always stressed the tremendous cost of raising children.

All of my subordinates were minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, and/or had major performance problems. I never defied orders to give them preference. But that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they ever-increasingly wasted my career, ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me, and ultimately forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— ‘Robbing Peter to pay Paul’. Poverty tough to overcome for some DuPage County residents. DD: The cost of living in DuPage County is very high. I bought a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my salary had just increased from $55,850/year to $68,315/year in today’s dollars. But if that townhome had been built in DuPage County, I could not have afforded it.
https://www.shawlocal.com/my-suburban-life/2025/11/24/robbing-peter-to-pay-paul-poverty-tough-to-overcome-for-many-dupage-county-residents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is a broad misconception that there is no poverty in DuPage County,” said Kara Murphy, president of the DuPage Health Coalition, a nonprofit that connects essential healthcare services to low-income individuals. It is true that “on balance” DuPage County is a more affluent community, “but it is also a populous community with just under one million residents,” she said at the Nov. 20 event. “There are more low-income families living in DuPage County than the entire population of 89 of the 100 counties in Illinois,” Murphy said. Murphy added that DuPage County communities must support “individuals at every income level.” “The strongest and most thriving communities create space and opportunities for people who are low-wage, medium-wage and high-wage earners. Communities that are only accessible to individuals at the highest income levels will experience incredible deficits in their ability to provide all the services that all the community needs. We need a diversity of opportunities for people in different places in their life cycles.” To determine income eligibility for assistance programs, many organizations in DuPage County utilize income levels that are 250% or even 300% of the federal poverty level. “Because the reality is the federal poverty level is dramatically inadequate to be able to meet basic needs,” Murphy said. Based 2023 data, using the 200% mark of the federal poverty level, there are 142,000 individuals living in poverty and that number is dramatically increasing, said Amy Van Polen, CEO of Bridge Communities, a nonprofit that provides transitional housing to families facing homelessness. “Those are the fastest growing numbers of our community,” Van Polen said. “Forty-four percent of renters in this county are rent burdened, meaning that they pay more than 30% of their income toward rent. That is not sustainable.” Many college educated individuals who are “20 something or 30 something” are finding it difficult to find affordable housing, she said. “Lots of $3,000-a-month, one-bedroom apartments are being built.”)

— Trump’s fight with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a warning sign for Republicans. DD: My Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party leaders vehemently disagreed with my supporting Pat O’Malley instead of Jim Ryan in the Republican gubernatorial primary in 2002. I led O’Malley’s campaign in Milton Township. Even though I did everything that I could to help Ryan win the general election, they not only have never forgiven me, they continue to punish me big time. They blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Ryan’s defeat. I should write about that.
https://foxillinois.com/news/armstrong-army-strong/donald-trumps-fight-with-marjorie-taylor-greene-is-a-warning-sign-for-republicans
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican Party under Trump has always been a coalition held together by energy, grievance, and a sense of shared purpose. But coalitions — even fearsome ones — require space for internal disagreement. They require room for ideological variance, strategic differences, and the occasional intra-party critique. Without that space, a movement begins to cannibalize its own allies, mistaking loyalty for uniformity and criticism for betrayal. . .There is also a deeper strategic issue. Disagreement, when handled well, strengthens a movement. It forces reflection. It sharpens arguments. It prevents blind spots. In a party that is trying to build a durable America First agenda with real policy depth, suppressing dissent is a recipe for stagnation. Trump’s greatest strength has always been his ability to break political orthodoxies; he should not now create a new orthodoxy that is just as brittle as the one he once shattered. Republicans need a healthy internal dialogue, not a chorus line. If Trump wants a party that will govern successfully — not merely idolize him — he must recognize that even loyal supporters will occasionally challenge him. And sometimes, they should. A strong leader does not see disagreement as betrayal. A strong leader sees it as proof that the movement he built is maturing, thinking, and preparing for the responsibilities of lasting power. . .If the GOP becomes a party where dissent is punished and loyalty is the only ideology, it will implode not because of Democrats — but because of its own refusal to let its members say, “We support you, but here’s where we disagree.”

— EEOC Releases Materials on National Origin Discrimination. DD: My critics/opponents have aways stressed that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I have always stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWI if he had not been 4-F. FROM WIKIPEDIA: “For Germany perpetrating the Holocaust and starting World War II, Germans are often stereotyped as Nazis. This stereotype, while now rare, persists to this day. After the war, the German people were often viewed with contempt because they were blamed by other Europeans for Nazi crimes. Germans visiting abroad, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, attracted insults from locals, and from foreigners who may have lost their families or friends in the atrocities. Today in Europe and worldwide (particularly in countries that fought against the Axis), Germans may be scorned by elderly people who were alive to experience the atrocities committed by Nazi Germans or by veterans who had fought against the Nazis during World War II.)

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, the federal government paid 72% of my health insurance premiums. That helped me endure my Democrat superiors’ tremendous efforts to get rid of me. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn the 72% health insurance subsidy a) that I got when I was federal employee, b) that my wife got when she was a federal employee 1968-1970, c) that I will always get as a federal retiree, and d) that my wife has gotten since we got married in 1978 and will always get.

KNIGHT KRIER
— What does your future hold? The pressures of choosing future careers in high school. DD: My father often decried his not having a college degree. That put me on track to getting one. I majored in management at UIC, NIU, and Loyola. But in retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting. I did not because I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— The Chinese military is here and ready. Are we?
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/the_chinese_military_is_here_and_ready_are_we.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those of us paying attention noticed that among the illegals flowing over our borders during Biden’s Handlers’ term were thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of military aged, fit Chinese men. We also took note that no one enters or leaves China without the commie’s consent, and the people showing up at our borders didn’t walk across the Pacific. The Biden DHS was eventually forced to grudgingly admit that at least some of those guys just might be members of the Chinese military. They didn’t inform us what they did with them, so we can reasonably believe most, if not all, remain in American and we have no idea of their locations or identities. We also know China, through various cutouts, has been buying up large swaths of American farmland, and plenty of that adjacent to military installations. The Bidenites were unconcerned, even helpful to the commies. Sure, a few congressmen raised alarms, but our number one international “competitor” undergoing a massive military buildup to include intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, continues to buy land in places that allow them to spy on our military installations—and worse. In Terrorist attacks in America: just a matter of time? in July of last year I noted then tens or hundreds of Islamist terrorists in America would be most likely to carry out close range attacks on civilians, while the Chinese military would likely focus on sabotage of our water, electric and communication hubs and our military capabilities. Commander Salamander points out one highly likely target: Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri. Why Whitman? It’s our sole B2 Stealth Bomber base, housing our 19 remaining B2s. One would think our CONUS–Continental US—military installations would be very secure. Most aren’t. Security consists largely of a few entrance facilities/gates guarded by a few military police officers and huge expanses of land secured only with tall chain link fences and reaction forces of military police in lightly armored vehicles. Some facilities have motion detectors and video cameras, but that’s not universal.)

FEDERALIST
— Disparate impact is equal outcome. DD: Equal outcome is the opposite of equal opportunity. To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat and RINO leaders fight for equal outcome instead of for equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and few females have done that, Democrat and RINO leaders have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. That my mother never attended high school. That I had to work my way through college.

I would not become a postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment test with him. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me because 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. I would not have become a GAO employee in 1980 if my Democrat superiors had not made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I never imagined that after graduating from college and working in the offices of a respected consulting firm in the Midwest, one day I would walk away from what looked like a secure and enviable path. But after months spent helping companies squeeze out higher profits, I began to wonder, like Leo Tolstoy, whether a life devoted entirely to success could ever feel meaningful. So I left. I traded corporate perks for the uncertainty of a spiritual vocation and committed myself to religious leadership, social entrepreneurship, adult education, academia and activism. In the years since, I have founded nonprofits, launched incubators, taught thousands of students and worked alongside people confronting some of the most pressing injustices of our time. Such decisions are rare, exposing an unsettling moral decline in American life. The issue isn’t talent but moral guidance. Many capable youths chase high pay, influenced by peers, families and looming debt. Fields such as tech, finance and medicine are vital, but fewer opt for work that benefits the human spirit, such as teaching, supporting vulnerable populations or advocating for justice.)

They used my and my wife giving up trying to have children without trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to hint/imply/argue/shout that I lied about our trying to have children. Since 1980, I had requested to be assigned to in-town audits to help our trying to have children. In 1989, to punish me, they threw me off in-town audits, assigned me to a bad 6-month out-of-town audit, gave me unfair performance expectations, gave me an unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

GLOBE AND MAIL
— To get more votes from minorities and from women, Democrat leaders fight for equal outcome instead of equal opportunity. To fight for equal outcome is to fight against equal opportunity. According to Democrats, if Whites and men do better at something, it is because they benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. Because few minorities and females have done that, Democrats have especially shouted at minorities and at females that I was able to do the aforesaid because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. That my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison ends reelection bid, leaving Republican primary uncontested
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/21/cook-county-sean-morrison-drops-out/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison, a Republican, announced Thursday he will not run for reelection next year, leaving former Commissioner Elizabeth Doody Gorman as the only Republican candidate for his seat. Morrison has represented the 17th District, which includes a wide swath of the southwest suburbs including Orland Park, Palos Heights and Lemont, since 2015. He was appointed to replace Gorman, who held the position from 2002 to 2015 before resigning to accept a job at an accounting firm in the private sector. Gorman supported Morrison as her successor. . .Morrison was reelected in 2018 and 2022. Gorman ran to unseat Morrison once before in 2022, but lost in the primary. With Morrison dropping out and the filing deadline past, she will run uncontested in the primary. Gorman has been on the Regional Transportation Authority board since 2021, and was formerly executive director of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority. “I was probably just as surprised as anybody else, and, you know, wish him and his wife and kids well in their next chapter,” Gorman said Friday.)

DD: According to my critics/opponents, the federal government grossly overpaid me, my employment benefits were far too generous, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is far too generous, and my federal retirement benefits are far too generous. In today’s dollars, my federal salary increased from $19.37hour when I was 16 in 1966 to $153,151/year when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, during that time, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new report from a government watchdog group begs the question of why — with nearly 800,000 federal bureaucrats drawing six-figure salaries and the average payroll of the federal workforce far outpacing its size — is Washington still unable to fund the basics of government? Open The Books, a project of American Transparency, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, nonpartisan charitable organization, closely tracks government spending and released an expansive report Wednesday ahead of a looming agreement between Republicans and Democrats to reopen the government, showing the swamp has gotten bigger, richer and more secretive since 2020. The report, which analyzed all publicly disclosed federal salaries for fiscal year 2024, found a total of 2.9 million civil service employees with a total payroll of $270 billion, plus an additional 30% for benefits. While the total number of employees rose by 5% since 2020, payroll grew nearly five times as much. The current federal workforce is costing American taxpayers $673,000 per minute, $40.4 million per hour and just under $1 billion per day, according to Open The Books. This includes almost 1,000 workers who are making more than the president’s $400,000 per year salary, 31,452 non-War Department federal employees who made more than every governor of all 50 states and 793,537 people making $100,000 or more. Those making $300,000 or more have seen an 84% increase since 2020, while there has similarly been an 82% increase in those earning $200,000 or more, the report points out. During Open The Book’s investigation, the fiscal watchdog group also found that the names of 383,000 federal workers across 56 different agencies were redacted, amounting to a total of $38.3 billion in pay. According to Open The Books CEO John Hart, “You can’t have accountability without visibility.” “The Trump administration has a historic opportunity to bring much-needed transparency to the administrative state. While federal employees don’t add as much to the debt as safety net programs, defense and overall agency spending, they are an indicator of government’s growth,” Hart said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Our investigators found far too many redactions and blind spots that DOGE should have already fixed. You can’t have accountability without visibility. Taxpayers need a much clearer picture of the federal workforce than they have today.” U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has been working with Open The Books to fight for greater transparency. In a letter sent in September to Scott Kupor, the director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Ernst said she had identified “numerous examples” of full-time federal employees earning two salaries while moonlighting for other agencies or government contractors, something typically prohibited under the law. Ernst pointed out that this was being done without the approval or knowledge of these workers’ managers. “The Trump administration has a historic opportunity to bring much-needed transparency to the administrative state.

Ernst pointed out that this was being done without the approval or knowledge of these workers’ managers. “From 2021 to 2024, a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) employee held multiple other full-time government contractor jobs, frequently billing taxpayers for more than 24 hours of work in a single day,” Ernst chronicled in her letter. “In addition to HUD, she was paid by AmeriCorps and the National Institutes of Health. Since she teleworked in all three positions, she was able to hide her overlapping jobs and get away with billing taxpayers $225,866 for hours she never worked. She claimed she worked 26 hours on 13 of the 21 workdays in a single month.” Ernst also described a second example of a human resources official at the Peace Corps who was caught falsifying time cards submitted to different agencies, which led to the employee double-billing taxpayers for tens of thousands of dollars. She laid out several other examples in the letter as well. “Until recently, outside of death and taxes, the expanding Washington bureaucracy was one of the few certainties in life,” said Ernst. “I am proud to have partnered with the Trump administration and DOGE to successfully downsize the bloated bureaucracy, but there is much more work to be done to make Washington more efficient.” One can “look no further” than the “failed Schumer shutdown,” Ernst said, pointing out that taxpayers will be on the hook for more than $12 billion in back pay for 750,000 non-essential federal employees who did not work for a month and a half. In October, Ernst introduced the Non-Essential Workers Transparency Act, aimed at providing the public with an exact accounting of how much back pay the government will be required to fork over in the case of a shutdown. The bill would require executive agencies to submit detailed reports to Congress within 30 days of a lapse in appropriations that must include the total number of employees and contractors employed by the agency at the time of the shutdown, the total salaries paid by the agency during the prior fiscal year, the number of furloughed during the lapse and their annual pay, the number of employees not furloughed and the sum of their pay and a requirement that all this information be posted publicly on the agencies’ websites.)
