While I was a high school student, I did yard work during my first 2 years, I delivered newspapers during all 4 years, and I washed dishes during my last 2 years. My critics/opponents have always used my high school jobs against me to paint me as being a loser. I should write about my critics/opponents.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nehemiah Narvaez, a senior at Simeon Career Academy in Chatham, is already learning how to run his own business while practicing his barber skills. “It’s been a dream,” Narvaez said. “I see what it can bring. It brings a lot of connections, a lot of opportunities. It’s like everybody gets a chance.” Narvaez, 17, of Englewood, is just one of many students enrolled in the Career & Technical Education program, a Chicago Public Schools initiative that provides students with career-focused experiential learning programs. On Thursday, Chance the Rapper visited the South Side high school to announce that his nonprofit, SocialWorks, would give $100,000 in grants to five Chicago schools to support career-focused programs over the next three years, which will include Simeon Career Academy’s barber and cosmetology program.)

— Embattled Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook hit with 2nd criminal referral from Trump housing director. All that my Democrat GAO superiors could use to justify their forcing me to retire was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance. They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. All that my Democrat IRS superiors could use to justify their never promoting me beyond GS-12 was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers and my education deductions. All that my Democrat Post Office superiors could use to justify their forcing me to resign was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my sick leave requests. They falsely claimed that I was not available to work enough part-time hours.

However, they hinted/implied that they forced me to retire because that was what Congress wanted them to do. They also hinted/implied it was a) because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, c) because they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, d) because they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) because they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and e) because they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS.

I should write about the threatened adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors would have taken against me if I had not retired when I was 49 in 1997. Previously they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) permanently threw me off audits of IRS in early 1989 and kept off audits of IRS 1980-1985, and f) forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump, Gabbard fired top CIA Russia expert days after Alaska summit. The CIA officer was due to take up a prestigious assignment in Europe approved by CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Instead, her security clearance was summarily revoked. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors acted like my Black CPA subordinate had threatened to leave GAO if they did not get rid of me. If I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. My Black CPA subordinate a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had one job-related professional certification while I had six, and d) no job-related professional license like the one I had. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

https://abc7chicago.com/post/shooting-reported-catholic-school-minneapolis-governor-says/17662514/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shooter died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, O’Hara said. The FBI identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who was born Robert Westman. Driver’s license information reviewed by ABC News described Westman as a female, born on June 17, 2002. A name change application for a minor born on the same date, June 17, 2002, was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” . . . Frey stressed at a second news conference, “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate.”)

— What to know about the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/27/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children inside before dying by suicide. He said the shooter, 23-year-old Robin Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and had legally purchased the weapons recently. O’Hara said authorities are aware of a video showing writings that the shooter had timed to be released on YouTube. The content has been taken down and is under review as investigators try to determine a motive, the police chief said. Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity wasn’t clear. In 2020, a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”)

WASINGTON POST
— FEMA employees put on leave after criticizing Trump administration in open letter. I did far more at GAO. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I was the only GAO Chicago office employee to do that. My Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career. They gave me a very bad job assignment. They gave me very unfair performance expectations. They gave me a very unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and then always ranked me in the bottom half. They forced me to retire when I was 49. I should write about the aforesaid. The more of the following that federal employees are, the fewer Civil Service protections that they have: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and if their ancestors have been in America for a long time.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250826/news/dupage-county-will-spend-up-to-147k-to-retain-springfield-lobbyists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

REAL CLEAR WIRE
— The Democrats’ hackneyed falsehood that Republican gerrymandering in Texas is racist and will end American democracy is not only hysterical – it’s hypocritical. While gerrymandering is ethically impaired, it has been part of U.S. politics for more than 200 years, and a mainstay of Democratic Party election strategy since the 1980s. When redistricting is designed to favor one group over another, it is referred to as gerrymandering. Prior to the 1960s, court challenges to congressional redistricting plans were generally considered to be political questions outside judicial purview. In 1962, however, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement of “one person, one vote” when Tennessee created districts with population variances as large as ten-to-one. Courts also hear challenges to redistricting plans based on claims of racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and until recently, also claims that a gerrymander was intended to benefit a particular candidate, ideology or party. . .The congressional map drawn by Illinois Democrats after the 2020 census transformed its congressional delegation from 13 Democrats and 5 Republicans to 14 Democrats and just 3 Republicans – in a state where Donald Trump won 44% of the 2024 vote. The respected Gerrymandering Project at Princeton University gave Illinois an “F” for its partisan gerrymander.

AXIOS
— AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers. What impacted entry-level jobs when you were in your 20s? For me, it was the Vietnam War draft. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I did not get offers for jobs that required a college degree until after my application was approved and because of my draft number, I was no longer subject to the draft. By then, my career was already behind schedule. To try to catch up, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, b) I passed the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, and c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, it was too late. The federal government uses up-or-out to rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13, currently $117,807/year, by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.

FOX NEWS
— Gianno Caldwell mulls Senate bid as Chicagoans are ‘begging for change’ on crime woes. Public safety advocate weighs run for Dick Durbin’s seat as Trump pushes federal crime crackdown. Gianno began his government relations career serving as the Director of Government Relations for Naperville Township. His primary focus was to develop strategies to cut costs relative to transportation, healthcare, taxes, pensions, and local government. In this position, he successfully lobbied the reduction of property tax rates for the whole of Naperville Township.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gianno-caldwell-mulls-senate-bid-chicagoans-begging-change-crime-woes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican public safety advocate Gianno Caldwell is mulling a bid for the open Illinois Senate seat in 2026 amid growing conversations about crime in America’s cities. Earlier this month, Caldwell was the keynote speaker at the Illinois Republican Party’s Republican Day event at the state fair, where he touted his record on law and order. Caldwell’s brother, Christian, was killed in 2022 in a Chicago drive-by shooting at the age of 18. “I’ve been about this fight for many years, public service, I’ve worked in every level of government that you can imagine and certainly I think there’s time for a law-and-order U.S. Senate candidate to come to the forefront in Illinois,” said Caldwell, a Fox News contributor and founder of the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety. “My brother’s legacy has become my mission and to save lives,” Caldwell said. “And if that’s something that I can continue in a U.S. Senate seat, that’s worth considering for the many lives that have been lost and the legacies that need to be furthered in the state of Illinois and my home city of Chicago.” Caldwell’s hometown of Chicago is getting renewed attention as President Donald Trump wants to take National Guard and federal agent deployment to lower crime nationwide following the takeover of policing in Washington DC. Both cities have dealt with violent crime woes, which have led to teens and children dying in numerous tragic cases. “My brother’s murder was something that I thought needed to have a conversation to address what has been going on in Chicago,” Caldwell said. “So this impacted me in a very deep and personal way. And when I think about what President Trump is doing by saying, ‘Look, we’re doing this in DC already. We want to take this to other places around the country, I applaud him. Why? Because people have been begging for change in the city of Chicago.” Caldwell spoke even as a backlash has grown from Democrats who have said that the heavy law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital is over-the-top. “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is #UnAmerican,” Mayor Muriel Bowser posted to X last week.)

I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. While I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, I did not do that until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. The accounting profession ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed what I had learned a) 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, b) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $99,069-$153,151/year, c) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and d) earning professional certifications in fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. But beyond that, the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities, females, and younger people.

POLITICO
— Illinois has been known for its aggressive Democratic gerrymanders, and it currently has just three Republican seats it can target. It’s also unclear Illinois Democrats have the political will to take on redrawing the congressional map — most of the redistricting talk this week has been on a whole other set of maps. Former Barack Obama chief of staff Bill Daley, a Chicago Democrat, and Ray LaHood, a Peoria Republican who served as Obama’s transportation secretary, rolled out a “Fair Maps Illinois” proposal this week that would end the process of state lawmakers drawing their own districts.

I say that because I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32 respectively and I became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

— Appeals court rules that the $515 million in fines against Trump were excessive. The adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me because I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination were excessive. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old, delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my travel vouchers. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign and disallowed my sick leave requests.

President Donald Trump says Chicago will likely be the next target of his efforts to address crime, homelessness and illegal immigration. Because of crime, I left Chicago in 1971 and my wife and I left Chicago in 1978. While I worked for IRS in Chicago, a) my 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in 1971 and b) my 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air was stolen in Chicago in 1973.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Federal Reserve official says she won’t be ‘bullied’ by Trump into resigning. My Democrat GAO superiors did far than bully me to force me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired on September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old. They made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would demote me, assign me to work for my former subordinates, give me adverse job transfers, give me bad job assignments, give me unfair performance expectations, give me unfair performance appraisals, and even worse things. If had not succumbed to their threats, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 years old in 2003. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought its protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. I should write about the aforesaid. By forcing me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working 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, b) 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, c) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, d) becoming a licensed CPA, and e) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. So far, by forcing me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced the Civil Service Retirement System to pay me $1.9 million in today’s dollars to stop me from coming to work.
