ILLINOIS GOP
— ILGOP Statement Following Vice Presidential Debate: Following the vice presidential debate, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement:
“Tonight, Senator JD Vance exposed leftist Tim Walz’s extreme, out-of-touch agenda with our nation and showed the importance of electing President Trump in November. Tim Walz was clear that a Harris-Walz administration is nothing more than a continuation of the disastrous Biden presidency that’s seen a failed economy, open borders, and out of control crime on the rise. Illinois does not need another far-left governor serving as Vice President to help JB Pritzker raise taxes and drive families away from the Prairie State.”

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, and worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. That enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

AOL
— Are You A ‘Rich’ Retiree? Here’s The Net Worth And Income You Need To Be In The Top 10% (COMMENT: What reduces your retirement income and savings the most? For me, it is my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasting my career and forcing me to retire early. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign when I was 20 in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions, did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my bachelor’s degree (NIU-management-1970), my three master’s degrees (Loyola-business-1976, DePaul-accounting-1980, and IIT-finance-1997), my six professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997), and my professional license (CPA-1981). They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://www.aol.com/rich-retiree-heres-net-worth-213214812.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To crack the top 10% of retirees, your net worth needs to hit around $1.9 million, according to Federal Reserve Board survey data. For those aged 65-74, that figure jumps to about $2.63 million; for retirees 75 and older, it climbs even higher to $2.86 million. This sharply contrasts the average retiree, whose net worth is much lower – closer to $280,000 on average. If you’ve crossed that $2 million line, you’re likely looking at a very different retirement experience from the average.)

I should write a book about that. I would focus on my Democrat a) Post Office superiors 1966-1969, b) Firestone Store boss 1970-1972, c) IRS superiors 1971-1980, and d) GAO superiors 1980-1997. Further, I might still be a GAO employee if I had been a veteran. GAO employees who were veterans were officially protected from suffering any adverse impacts from the dramatic Republican-led downsizing of the agency.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE & CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pedro Martinez refuses to resign as Chicago Public Schools CEO (COMMENT: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should not have succumbed to my Democrat GAO superiors’ threats to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. Assuming that their efforts to downgrade me, if not fire me, had failed, I would have worked at least until 2003 when I would have been eligible for regular retirement. My Civil Service Retirement System pension and retirement savings would be much greater. I would not have had to suffer the tremendous sigma of being forced to retire early; that stigma is dramatically greater because I have three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I would not gotten involved in Republican politics, and therefore, my critics/opponents a) could not have blamed me for Jim Ryan’s defeat and for all the other defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, b) could not have rudely ended my service as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, c) could not have rudely ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster not only once, but twice, d) could not have rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer, e) could not have rudely tried to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, f) could not have rudely ended my service as an ICRC Steering Committee member, g) could not have rudely ended my service on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, h) could not have rudely ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, i) etc.)

— A divisive moment averted: Plans to bring inflammatory speaker to suburbs would only have hurt Illinois GOP (COMMENT: Political parties need to vet candidates. At least since 2000, everything would have been different politically if the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Milton Township Republican Organization had vetted candidates, and especially if they had put me on their candidate vetting committees. I would have called for full background investigations of candidates. I would have used the investigative skills that I acquired a) working for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, b) working for IRS for as a Revenue Officer almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, and c) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner, Forensic Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and Licensed CPA. I should write a book about candidates a) who never should have run because of the big skeletons that they had in their closets and b) candidates who lost general elections because the big skeletons that they had in their closets came out after they won primary elections. In 2004, in Illinois, Jack Ryan ran in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois )  His primary campaign team, which did not include me, knew that he had an extremely big scandal that would come out if he won the primary and would force him to withdraw. Nevertheless, they went forward anyway and defeated his primary opponents including Jim Oberweis, Steve Rauschenberger, and Andrew McKenna. Ryan withdrew after that extremely big scandal came out and the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced Ryan with Alan Keyes. If Ryan’s extremely big scandal had come out before the primary election, Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna would have won and everything would have been different. Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna might have defeated Obama in the general election. By way of contrast, Blair Hull might very well have won the Democrat primary if Obama’s campaign had not disclosed a far less serious marital issue that Hull had. I was involved in the aforesaid because of my roles as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and a fundraising committee member, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2003, Ryan, Oberweis, McKenna, and other candidates a) attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct and b) Ryan Oberweis, Rauschenberger, McKenna, and other candidates participated in a major MTRO straw poll fundraiser that helped organize. Ryan won that straw poll. Most of my critics/opponents wanted McKenna to win that straw poll and the primary.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— According to my critics/opponents, I cause Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose elections because I paint them in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters as being more conservative than they are. Ever-increasingly, my critics/opponents discourage Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct from asking me to help elect them. I should write a book about that. I would focus on those candidates who want/wanted to be painted as being Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. – Dave Diersen

— My critics/opponents do not want anyone to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who are past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— I am a nonprofit conservative political and government news and commentary aggregator. I promote the Republican Party platform. I am no one’s operative or dupe. No one tells me what to do. Newspaper (print & digital) subscriptions are expensive. To put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together, I pay the following yearly: Chicago Tribune – $363.48, Chicago Sun-Times – $286.00, Daily Herald – $481.00, Naperville Sun – $103.48, Crain’s Chicago Business – $225.00, New York Times – $1,040.00, Wall Street Journal – $845.00, and USA Today – $119.88 for a total of $3,463.84/year plus more for many more print and/or digital subscriptions. Many websites benefit from the traffic that I drive to them. I pay Constant Contact $680.40/year to send the newsletters out. My critics/opponents are beyond furious that I have the money, time, experience, ability, health, and motivation needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and send them out every morning free of charge and without any advertising or donation requests. They continue to do everything that they can to stop me from sending out the newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them. They do not take or return my phone calls. They read my newsletters or have their operatives and dupes read them for “opposition research.” They have their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work and destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

Biden got his 1967 Corvette as a wedding present from his father. I got my 1972 Corvette in 1971 with money that I earned collecting delinquent taxes for IRS and pumping gasoline for Firestone Stores and previously selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances for Firestone Stores, working on an automotive assembly line, delivering mail, pumping gasoline for John’s Sinclair, chipping slag, cleaning golf shoes, washing dishes, delivering newspapers, and doing yard work. My father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, he was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never attended college, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Department of Corrections has no intention of notifying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when it discharges Vicente Torres-Vasquez, an illegal alien responsible for the 2011 DUI death of a Wauconda man, from the work-release program in which he’s currently enrolled in 2028. A spokesperson for IDOC told Chicago City Wire that the Department “complies with the Illinois Trust Act and its prohibitions on most communications with federal immigration authorities.” The Trust Act, signed in 2017 by former Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, made Illinois a sanctuary state, one that “generally prohibits local law enforcement in Illinois from participating in immigration enforcement,” according to the Illinois Attorney General’s website.)

— We need more accountants. Chicago, a major center in the accounting world, has a big stake in reviving the field. (COMMENT: I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. I did major in accounting at DePaul 1976-1980 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981 at age 32. But by then, accounting viewed me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: America’s most famously boring profession is in trouble, and that’s bad news for Chicago. The city is a hotbed of professional services, including lawyers, consultants and the now-endangered species of certified public accountants. CPAs are essential for financial reporting, advanced tax preparation and other dull-but-important tasks that keep the economy going. These days, the accounting profession is in crisis as CPAs retire and the pipeline to replace them dries up. Addressing the shortage means changing the time-consuming path to becoming a CPA, without lowering the standards that make the work of these unsung financial heroes so critical. The health of the capital markets depends on breathing new life into the profession. CPAs are experts in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the complicated rules and procedures that govern the financial world. Among a CPA’s most important functions is auditing public companies to ensure their financial statements conform with GAAP. If CPAs sign off, they certify to the public that the numbers can be trusted, so in that respect these behind-the-scenes gnomes are guardians of the public trust.)

— To pull back from Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI is to put back a) from race and gender based preference giving, b) from political affiliation discrimination, c) from reverse discrimination, d) from age discrimination, e) from religious discrimination, and f) from national origin discrimination. The Democrats who run the federal government use AA, DEI, and up-or-out to not hire Republicans, to waste the careers of their Republican employees, and to get rid of their Republican employees. If I had been a Democrat, notwithstanding the fact that I was White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America for a long time, I would have made Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 years old in 1988.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, in Illinois, instead of defending and advancing the Republican Party platform, Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders paint themselves as being moderate/centrist, if not Democrat Lite, if not RINO, if not anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. That will not get Republican candidates elected. It will destroy the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— GOP primary voters knew that Mark Robinson was a terrible candidate. They just didn’t care. (COMMENT: In 2004, in Illinois, Jack Ryan ran in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois )  His primary campaign team, which did not include me, knew that he had an extremely big scandal that would come out if he won the primary and would force him to withdraw. Nevertheless, they went forward anyway and defeated his primary opponents including Jim Oberweis, Steve Rauschenberger, and Andrew McKenna. Ryan withdrew after that extremely big scandal came out and the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced Ryan with Alan Keyes. If Ryan’s extremely big scandal had come out before the primary election, Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna would have won and everything would have been different. Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna might have defeated Obama in the general election. By way of contrast, Blair Hull might very well have won the Democrat primary if Obama’s campaign had not disclosed a far less serious marital issue that Hull had. I was involved in the aforesaid because of my roles as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and a fundraising committee member, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2003, Ryan, Oberweis, McKenna, and other candidates a) attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct and b) Ryan Oberweis, Rauschenberger, McKenna, and other candidates participated in a major MTRO straw poll fundraiser that helped organize. Most of my critics/opponents wanted McKenna to win the primary.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: We know how this is going to go. The deadline for North Carolina’s Republican nominee for governor, Mark Robinson, to drop out of the race passed last night. Robinson ignored the calls from his fellow Republicans to drop out. In November, he’ll lose. And when he loses, the loudest voices in the Republican ecosystem will insist he owes his fate not to his own characterological defects but to the fact that the GOP doesn’t have the stomach to do what’s necessary to win. Not like the Democrats do.)

VARIOUS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. They ever-increasingly reduce enforcement of pot laws. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, those around you will be stoners. I led the successful fight to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders will crow that they are stoners. I have always opposed pot. I have never used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980. If IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to a) get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, or get accepted by UIC in 1966, b) get accepted by NIU in 1969, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) pass the CPA Examination on my first attempt in 1979, f) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, g) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.  If I had used pot, I would not been able a) to buy used cars in 1964 and 1971 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and have a home built in 1984, and c) get married in 1978. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject the illegal drugs plank in the Republican Party platform, want to use pot, are using pot, have used pot, and/or want make money off of pot.

— What the Media Won’t Tell You About the ‘Right to IVF Act’ (COMMENT: If I had run against Duckworth like Roskam did in 2006, she, like my Democrat GAO superiors, would have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/18/what-the-media-wont-tell-you-about-the-right-to-ivf-act-n4932632
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been actively seeking to elevate abortion as a central voting issue to drive their base to the polls. One strategy has been to merge abortion with the debate over in vitro fertilization (IVF), effectively adopting it as part of their broader 2024 election strategy by pushing claims that Republicans are attempting to ban IVF. To this effort, Senate Democrats, spearheaded by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), pushed for a second vote on the so-called “Right to IVF Act” this week. “If Donald Trump and Republicans want to protect people’s right to access IVF, they can vote yes on it,” Duckworth told CBS News before the vote. “He’s shown that it only takes one sentence from him, and the Republican Party will fall in line behind him.” The bill failed to advance, and the media promptly pushed the expected narrative. “Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would protect access to IVF on Tuesday, in a vote that Democrats held to draw attention to the issue after former President Donald Trump’s recent statements supporting the fertility treatments,” CBS reported. “For the second time in four months, Senate Democrats forced a vote on the Right To IVF Act, only to be blocked by Republicans who called it unnecessary and politically motivated as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to make access to in vitro fertilization a 2024 campaign issue,” read the lead at NBC News. The headline over at CNN read, “Senate GOP blocks IVF bill again as Democrats spotlight issue ahead of elections.” Naturally, these stories and headlines aren’t telling the whole story. This is a common election-year tactic that can be surprisingly effective if the media is on your side. Of course, the devil is always in the details, because the “Right to IVF Act,” is far more than what its name implies — as is the case with most legislation. “The ‘Right To IVF Act,’ introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lumps several radical Democrat-led assisted reproductive technology (ART) bills into one to ensure the unlimited creation, indefinite freezing, and destruction of millions of embryos,” explains Jordan Boyd of The Federalist. Boyd goes into further detail. “Included in the self-proclaimed ‘sweeping’ bill are vague language and undefined terms that would force Americans with moral objections to ART to fund the manufacturing of motherless and fatherless children, commercial surrogacy, experimental transhumanist technologies like artificial wombs, ‘gene editing,’ and reproduction without women via in vitro gametogenesis,” he explains. “Additionally, the package would make a permanent path for taxpayer-funded ART like egg and sperm freezing, IVF, and surrogacy for millions of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. It also incentivizes the promotion of babies by any means necessary above adoption and restorative reproductive treatments that address the root causes of infertility.” If Democrats were really interested in protecting the right to IVF treatments, they would, for one, push forward a clean bill that could get bipartisan support, and I suspect it would. But they won’t risk putting forward a bill that might succeed and take the issue off the table for them before the election.)

POST MILLENNIAL
— US Air Force has DEI ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ in officer ranks (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They gave all their Senior Executive Service (SES) members who they assigned to manage their Chicago office lists of employees to get rid of. Of course, I was near or at the top of all those lists. The more of the following that you were, the higher that you were on those lists: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, if your ancestors had been in America for a long time, and/or if you had not made GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,457) by age 35, and SES ($191,900) by age 40. The aforesaid is “up-or-out.” Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), in 1981 (internal auditing), in 1990 (fraud examination), in 1994 (government financial management), in 1996 (financial services auditing), and in 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).)  The aforesaid is 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.)

— Connie Chung says booze and bawdy jokes helped her break into journalism’s boys club (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I soon learned that all but one of my Chicago Office superiors were Democrats who were older, White, male, big drinkers, big smokers, and/or big spectator sports watchers and betters. Because I have always been conservative, I rejected their strong advice to join them in those activities, that is, I rejected their strong advice to join their “boys club.” Because of that, they did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They rejected my emphasis on job-related education and professionalism. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS work experience, my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They overtly rejected my efforts to recruit them to join the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. If their leader had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his very heavy drinking, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS, would never had been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote to GS-13 in 1986. But their leader came back in 1987 and forced that GAO manager to retire in 1987. He then threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an extremely bad job assignment, unfair job performance expectations, and unfair job performance appraisal. He ranked me the lowest of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. He ever-increasingly turned against me my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. His ever-increasing adverse actions against me forced me to seek help from my Congressman Henry Hyde in 1989. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought help from its union. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.)

CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY
— Illinois Right to Life urges Illinois residents to vote no on IVF question (COMMENT: If I had run against Duckworth like Roskam did in 2006, she, like my Democrat GAO superiors, would have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me for my wife and I giving up trying to have children without trying IVF. My critics/ opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259365/pro-life-group-urges-illinois-residents-to-vote-no-on-ivf-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Right to Life, a pro-life group active in the state, has expressed opposition to the question, noting that “in vitro fertilization is detrimental to the inherent value of life.” “All children are equal in the eyes of God and one of the most beautiful vocations in life is becoming a parent. Life in all its stages is precious, including embryos. This absolutely includes children born from in vitro fertilization (IVF),” the group said in a Sept. 14 emailed statement.  “However, it is important to recognize the IVF process can be harmful to new human lives, often commodifies children, and the procedure does not honor the sanctity of life.” The Catholic Church teaches that while couples struggling to have children can use certain fertility treatments, the use of IVF is “morally unacceptable.” This is because IVF involves the use of artificial means to achieve pregnancy outside of sex between a husband and wife — the marital act — a disassociation that the Church teaches is contrary to the dignity of both parents and children. In addition, to maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos during the IVF process and routinely destroy or indefinitely freeze millions of undesired embryos. “We sincerely ask and urge you to vote NO in the advisory referendum regarding in vitro fertilization on the Illinois general election ballot,” Illinois Right to Life said.)

SOUTHERN
— Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after apparent Trump assassination attempt  (COMMENT: GAO need help. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. GAO’s mission is to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. While I worked for GAO, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives used major budget cuts to dramatically reduced GAO’s ability to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. To punish me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years that I worked for them. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my having earning three job related master’s degrees (1976,1980, and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a professional license (1981). I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— The Democrat party’s unique historical opportunity
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/the_democrat_party_s_unique_historical_opportunity.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This presidential election offers a remarkable and unique historical opportunity for the Democrat party. In fact, this may be that party’s most opportune time ever to make history. The Democrat presidential candidate identifies as black, having previously identified as Southeast Asian. Becoming the first self-identified black and female president in America would be history-making. However, there is something much more history-making begging to be acknowledged recognized. In fact, it is something beyond belief—utterly inconceivable—something very few are qualified for. Kamala Harris is a rare candidate due to her genealogical background. She is the first black female candidate and second black presidential candidate descendant of a slave master (Obama was the first black descendant of a slave master.)

Because Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1980-1997, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. I was one of an extremely few Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago office. With one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense. Constructively they sided with GAO in Diersen v. GAO  (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )  My critics/opponents stressed to them that I did not give them any money and that I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination when they were “reaching out” to young minorities and women. They demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being much too conservative. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who reject the equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform.)

NEWSWEEK
— Is ‘Socialism’ No Longer a Dirty Word? (COMMENT: From what I see, the more health, financial, and/or other problems that you have, the more open that you are to socialism.  From what I see, those who have more problems than others are: liberal, moderate, non-Republican, citizens of foreign countries, minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. From what I see, those who are the aforesaid ever-increasingly blame their problems on those who are conservative, Republican, citizens of America, White, male, older, married, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— What decisions did you make that limited your career? I avoided the draft. I did not become a Democrat. I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old. I worked all the part-time hours that could instead of studying. I majored in management instead of accounting. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27.  I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I did not take and pass the CPA examination 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 and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. I became a active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. Nevertheless, I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, when I was 25, to GS-13, currently $115,439/year, when I was 38, and GS-13 Step 10, currently $150,075/year, when I was 49.
