— Are the Rulers of Dearborn ‘American’?
https://townhall.com/columnists/scottmorefield/2025/09/29/are-the-rulers-of-dearborn-american-n2664092
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A video of an Islamic march featuring thousands of black and hijab-clad Muslims chanting “Allah” and a bunch of gibberish through the streets of Dearborn, Michigan that looks like it could have been filmed in any random Middle Eastern Muslim country went viral and drew outrage on X last week. The account that posted it included a call for Tom Homan’s ICE to deal with the problem by going in and deporting illegals. It’s a justifiable sentiment, but good luck with that. Shockingly, almost 60,000 of the approximately 105,000 residents of Dearborn are of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. Almost all of those are Arab American Muslims. The problem for the poster, and for anyone else who thinks deporting illegals is the solution to what ails us, is that almost all of them are lawful citizens of the United States, a product of Arab immigration that began almost 100 ago and intensified by waves of refugee resettlements from decades of Middle Eastern conflicts caused in no small part, ironically, by American intervention overseas. Given the numbers, it should be no surprise to find the city run by Muslims. As conservative commentator Matt Walsh pointed out in another viral post: “The mayor of Dearborn, Michigan is Abdullah Hammoud. The guy running against him in the mayoral race is Nagi Almudhegi. The mayor’s chief of staff is Zaineb A. Hussein. The police chief is Issa Shahin. He oversees the commander of the patrol division, Madou Bazzi. The public health director is Ali Abazeed. Don’t forget city council members Kamal Alsawafy and Mustapha Hammoud.” If you are one of the tens of thousands of non-Muslim residents left in the city, you will still be greeted at 6 am in the morning and four other times throughout the day by the Muslim call to prayer broadcast on loudspeaker. For now at least you can complain, like this lady did, but the Muslim-run city council will tell you to pound sand. If you don’t like that a street was renamed after a Hezbollah terrorist, you will not only be told to pound sand, you will be called an Islamaphobe and told you aren’t welcome in the city you grew up in. Yes, technically the rulers of Dearborn are ‘American.’ They and most of their co-religionist voters have the citizenship and naturalization papers saying so, and thus are just as much a citizen of this country as you or me. But is this what the founders envisioned for the country they birthed through blood almost 250 years ago? If Thomas Jefferson could have looked into the future and seen Arabic flags and Islamic chants and hijab-clad women marching through an American street, would he have set things up differently? Trying to normalize a situation ordinary people rightly are disgusted by, ‘Republican’ pollster Frank Luntz embarrassingly quoted part of a letter penned by George Washington as proof that the founders wanted Muslims to, according to Luntz, “find welcome in America.” “If they are good workmen, they may be of Asia, Africa, or Europe,” Washington wrote. “They may be Mohammedans, Jews, or Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists.” Luntz’s contention was easily ripped to shreds by anyone who bothered to post the entire letter, which was simply correspondence from Washington to a friend in Baltimore asking him to facilitate the purchase of some skilled labor that was purportedly on a ship headed there. Indeed, the idea that our founders – the ones who in 1790 when immigration policy was first discussed limited naturalization to only “free white persons” of “good moral character” who had lived in America for at least two years – would applaud the streets of Dearborn being overrun with chanting Muslims carrying Arabic flags is laughable on its face. On the contrary, if the dead could move they would be turning over in their graves. Still, the founders did recognize the need for immigration, and since 1790 there has been plenty of it. Interestingly, the massive waves from Europe that happened in the 1840s and the 1880s-1920s were opposed by nativists who argued that the Irish, the Germans, the Poles, and the Italians were going to ruin the country. In hindsight, it wasn’t really much of a concern though, because those people had enough in common with the original Anglo-Saxon stock to completely assimilate in a generation or two at most, which is exactly what happened. (We fought against Germany in two world wars, but have you heard anyone complain about ‘those damned Germans’ lately?) Leftists like to cite opposition to these European waves as evidence that conservatives are stupid to oppose the current non-white immigration from Third World hellholes we’re experiencing today, but, as Dearborn has proven, it’s apples and oranges. Extrapolate that over the next few decades at the immigration rate Democrats would have us endure and you’ll get hundreds if not thousands of places just like Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Somalis have their own country within a country. The Great Replacement Theory isn’t just a theory, it’s a fact. Leftists hate white people and want them to become a minority in every place they are currently a majority. You may think race doesn’t or shouldn’t matter at all, but they certainly think it does. Now, I’m not in any way arguing for a white nationalist state or the removal or persecution of legal minorities. America should always include minority populations who assimilate, love this country, and want to contribute to its success. However, there is something to be said for an immigration policy, one similar to the one that helped America prosper right up to 1965, that keeps whites from becoming a minority in the country their ancestors founded. An immigration and naturalization policy that allowed Dearborn, Michigan to become what it is now is inherently flawed and should be scrapped and reworked from the ground up. The future of Western Civilization, the vehicle that gave the world most of the progress, freedom, and standard of living it enjoys today, absolutely depends on it.)

DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government targeted me for my opposition to their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/retirement/retirement-after-75-finances-life-b21410b9
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost 9% of Americans 75 and older were working or looking for work last year, up from 6% two decades earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the share between 65 and 74 rose to 27% in 2024, versus 22% in 2004. The government estimates those percentages will rise more along with the aging population. There are plenty of reasons people delay retirement until later in life. Some have financial worries. Many are highly educated professionals and business owners who enjoy what they do too much to stop entirely, said Nicole Maestas, an economist and professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School. Many who work longer are self-employed and might have greater control over their work hours. Others never found the right time to leave. The financial benefits of delaying retirement can be significant. A person who continues to earn some income, even on a part-time basis, is likely to withdraw less from their savings, preserving more for later in life or heirs. People who work longer may also be able to delay Social Security, which increases its payouts by up to 8% for every year they refrain from collecting a check between ages 62 and 70.)

(FROM THE POSTING: Blaming others is a defense mechanism used to avoid self-responsibility, protect self-esteem, and manage guilt or shame by deflecting personal accountability onto others. This unhealthy coping strategy, also known as deflection, prevents personal growth and creates unhealthy relationship dynamics, leading to a cycle of personal challenges. To overcome blaming, it’s important to understand its root causes, practice self-reflection, and learn to take healthy responsibility for one’s actions and emotions. )

https://www.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2025/09/27/a-revival-born-charlie-kirk-memorial-in-yorkville-darren-bailey-campaigns-for-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With antisniper security on rooftops in downtown Yorkville for the Sept. 27 Charlie Kirk memorial, one speaker remarked it’s sad this is the current state of American political discourse. Organized by Kendall Action, a conservative fundraising PAC, the event was part sermon, “a revival born in Charlie Kirk’s name,” part rally, with Darren Bailey campaigning as a Republican candidate for governor. A unifying message shared by the crowd was that the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk by a sniper’s bullet took something personal away from each of them, something that touches their faith. “When we exchange ideas as a society, we win,” State Rep. Jed Davis, R-Newark, said to the crowd. “When you start to silence that opportunity, that God-given right the founders of this nation wrote into the Constitution, that we have the right to free speech, the right to have free and open dialogue, when that is silenced, the people lose.” Kicking off his election tour, Bailey, a former Republican state senator, called Kirk’s killing a tragic loss of “a great American treasure.” He brought up Abraham Lincoln’s prescient warning. “He warned that if we as America falter and lose our freedom, it won’t happen from outside our borders, but it will happen from within,” Bailey said during the rally. “We’ve got a governor who’s using all of this as rhetoric against us to make life more unsafe for us.” In an interview, Bailey was asked what can be done to tone down political violence. “We need to focus on the people that we’re electing, because we have to bring unity to this nation,” Bailey said. “We look for a stronger and different candidate to take that position, a leader who’s bold and courageous and desires unity instead of division.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A GOP chairman was slammed as a “dork *** loser” after he criticized a gruesome political stunt that occurred at “Riot Fest” in Chicago. DuPage County, Illinois GOP Chairman Kevin Coyne went viral on Monday after criticizing a gruesome political stunt at “Riot Fest” in a now-deleted post to X. Riot Fest ’25 occurred on September 19 through September 21 at Douglass Park in the City of Chicago. According to The New York Post, during a performance by GWAR, a metal band that was first formed back in 1984, band members performed a mock beheading of Elon Musk, as well as a mock killing of President Donald J. Trump. While the band is known for its grotesque stunts, several social media users voiced criticism due to the political environment in the United States following the assassination of conversative activist Charlie Kirk. “That’s not edgy, it’s grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line,” a social media user wrote, per The Post. Screenshots of the now-deleted post appear to show that Coyne, who was in attendance at Riot Fest, wrote the following in reaction to GWAR’s stunt: “Riot Fest, it’s always so …. Interesting. Could’ve done without all the politics from the stage but it was fun nonetheless. Apparently we can’t even go to concerts now without the political divide being tossed in our faces. We’ll still go back but it was obnoxious.” The screenshot appears to show that Coyne’s post was seen more than 2.5 million times before being deleted. The message is followed by an @ to an apparent parody Riot Fest account, which boasts more than 95,000 followers. The Riot Fest parody account responded to Coyne’s criticism, writing the following, according to a screenshot: “Shut the (expletive) up you dork (expletive) loser. Seriously some of the softest dumbest people on the internet.” After being accused of “normalizing violence,” a GWAR representative issued the following statement to the publication: “Normalizing violence? Humans don’t need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous.” The Anonymous X account also chimed in on the discussion, writing the following: ““(Expletive) Elon Musk. Call the manager you (expletive) loser. It’s like you never heard of GWAR before you (expletive) p–y,” Riot Fest is a three-day festival that was first held in 2005, and is one of the largest independently-owned music festivals in the United States.)

https://x.com/DuPageCountyGOP/status/1972019256188641431
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police removed a small group of protesters Sunday night who disrupted a prayer rally in Wheaton honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The event drew about 1,500 attendees and was organized by local church leaders and Decision Point USA. The prayer rally took place under the French Market Pavilion in downtown Wheaton. Organizers said the event was held to pray for revival in the city, schools, churches, and the nation. “In this moment of grief and urgency, we believe God is our only hope,” a flyer from Decision Point USA said. “Together, we will lift our voices and ask Him to raise up courageous leaders, heal our land and pour out His Spirit on the next generation.” The meeting was organized by leaders from four churches in the Wheaton area who said they believe this time is an opportunity for community revival. The rally, structured around Christian worship and calls for unity, was briefly disrupted when several protesters, some masked and carrying signs, began shouting during a moment of prayer. “Bruha started by the few but noisy and disrespectful protestors during the prayer at the Wheaton Charlie Kirk Memorial tonight,” user Babette Holder said in a Facebook post. Wheaton police responded and escorted the protesters from the area. The rally continued as planned, ending with hymns “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” and “In Christ Alone.” Photos from the event showed protesters holding signs with messages such as “Honoring Charlie Kirk = Honoring Racism, Bigotry, Misogyny” and “I do not support what happened to Charlie but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie.” One protester wore a shirt with “Palestine” printed on it, while another’s shirt displayed a profanity directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters. . .According to reports, the protesters were allegedly affiliated with Mutual Aid Dawning (MAD), a Glen Ellyn-based group formed during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago. Those protests involved widespread property damage and arrests. MAD’s website describes the group as “intergenerational, largely non-religious and queer with sexualities and genders across the spectrum.” The group identifies with anti-capitalist and anti-colonial ideologies. The website includes political education materials referencing historical figures, including Mao Zedong. Critics have noted Mao’s legacy includes responsibility for millions of deaths and ongoing repression in China. MAD describes the suburban communities where it organizes as “highly resourced yet highly unengaged,” and states its goal is to challenge perceived complicity in systems of oppression. Though the protesters were few in number, their presence drew concern among attendees and organizers, who said the disruption highlighted a broader cultural and political divide. Breakthrough Ideas, an organization led by former state representative Jeanne Ives, responded to the event by calling for “more speech, not less,” and said Kirk’s vision based on constitutional and biblical principles must be defended publicly. “They’re hoping (Kirk’s) murder isn’t a real Turning Point in America,” the group said in a newsletter. “They hope people don’t start to evaluate the culture and realize that the Left has been feeding children, young adults, and even boomers progressive nonsense that debases society and breaks the social and constitutional contract that citizens in a free society should have with each other.”)

POLITICO
— The impending retirement that could rock Capitol Hill. The director of the Government Accountability office will step down in a few short months, leaving a void atop the agency that has found the White House guilty of violating congressional spending law. DIERSEN: GAO falsely claims to be nonpartisan. The Democrats who run GAO hate Republicans. Anyone who reads the filings in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) would see that. Because I am a Republican, the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 used the subjectivity in their job assignment and performance appraisal systems, up-or-out, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, and Gingrich budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They rudely flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that, b) earning three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), c) earning six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and d) becoming a licensed CPA.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/17/gao-trump-impoundment-spending-00569967
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than three dozen lawmakers are already planning to leave Congress next year. But there’s another impending legislative branch retirement that could have major implications in Washington. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, who heads the Government Accountability Office, hits the end of his 15-year term in late December and will be forced to vacate the post that occupies an increasingly crucial — and politically charged — oversight role. The comptroller general is uniquely empowered to call out the president for breaking the law by withholding federal cash, and Dodaro has done so repeatedly over the past eight months — putting himself at the center of a largely partisan fight over President Donald Trump’s funding moves that has exacerbated tensions between the White House and Capitol Hill. Now Trump gets to nominate Dodaro’s replacement, and key lawmakers are only just starting to take stock of a paradox: A president who continually tests the bounds of Congress’ spending powers gets to pick the legislative branch’s chief watchdog. “It sets up a very bad situation,” Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, the next Senate Democratic whip and a senior appropriator, said in an interview. “Among the things to be alarmed about, this is a new one.” The stakes are high: Whoever ends up running GAO once Dodaro’s term ends will be able to bolster, or undermine, Congress’ defenses against Trump in the separation-of-powers battle the president is stoking by terminating, freezing and reallocating hundreds of billions of dollars Congress previously approved. “When one party controls the Senate, the House and the White House, there’s a tendency to rally around the president and to do what the president wants,” said David Walker, Dodaro’s predecessor and the only living former GAO director. “But somebody’s got to be able to be the independent referee, and to try to do what they think is in the interest of the institution, the Congress and the country. And that’s what the comptroller general is.” All of this is taking place as Trump administration officials and some congressional Republicans have been trying to downsize and discredit the watchdog. That has included publicly questioning the GAO’s authority and accusing the agency of siding with Democrats in its multiple determinations that the White House unlawfully flouted Congress’ “power of the purse.” White House budget director Russ Vought said this month that GAO is “a quasi-legislative independent entity … something that shouldn’t exist. There have been other slights, too. In the Senate, the GAO told Republicans they could not skirt the filibuster in voting to override California’s pollution standards; Republicans did so anyway. In the House, GOP lawmakers endorsed cutting the agency’s roughly $800 million budget in half for the upcoming fiscal year. And Elon Musk, prior to leaving the Trump administration, attempted to send in a Department of Government Efficiency team to assess the GAO for mass staff reductions. Meanwhile, the legislative branch writ large has become more broadly vulnerable to the White House’s whims, seen most starkly in Trump’s abrupt firing of the librarian of Congress and the registrar of copyrights. It’s not yet clear what the Dodaro succession plan will look like; a White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. A 10-member panel of lawmakers is supposed to recommend at least three replacement candidates for Trump to consider. By law, that group is composed of the top leaders in each chamber, the chairs and ranking members of the key House and Senate oversight committees and the Senate president pro tempore. However, most congressional leaders have yet to start hunting for qualified contenders, and furthermore seem largely unaware they have any role to play in filling the slot. “I don’t even know the process,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in a brief interview. “It’s been a while. This hasn’t happened on my watch.” Two of the would-be commission members had kind words for Dodaro, including Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee. “I’ve always appreciated him, and I think he’s a straight shooter,” the Kentucky Republican said in an interview. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the panel’s ranking member, said he “would want somebody like Gene, who has been a really solid member.” On the House side, Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said in an interview he’s looking for the next GAO director to be “an aggressive person that looks for waste, fraud and abuse.” Comer added, “We want someone that communicates regularly with Congress, so we can kind of have an idea of what they’re doing.” But Trump could instead ask Republican senators to confirm a new watchdog of his own choosing — or forgo making a nomination altogether. It would leave a leadership vacuum at the top of the agency that not only monitors whether Congress’ spending directives are followed but is also empowered to examine the effectiveness of federal agencies on behalf of lawmakers. Further raising the stakes in confirming a new director, lawsuits are pending around the country challenging Trump’s withholding of congressionally approved funding, and a federal appeals court ruled this summer that only the GAO director can sue the administration for violating the decades-old impoundment law — not the groups that were set to receive the funding. Dodaro has so far chosen not to sue the Trump administration for withholding funding. But when he steps down, he’ll be able to pick an acting GAO director who also would have the power to file a lawsuit if they so choose. Still, said Molly Reynolds, head of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, “if you get a comptroller general in place who is Trump-friendly, that is going to foreclose that option” of GAO suing the administration. An acting director also wouldn’t be “in a position to make major transformational changes,” warned Walker, the former GAO director. When Walker resigned in 2008, he appointed Dodaro acting director, a title that stuck for more than two years because Congress and the president weren’t quick to work through the nomination process. Before that, it also took two years to formally install Walker in the post in 1998. Walker is now urging congressional leaders to recommend candidates who are willing to challenge executive branch officials regardless of who is president, as he did during his own tenure. A political independent who “leans Republican” and was confirmed by a GOP-led Senate, Walker sued the Republican vice president, Dick Cheney, for failure to provide GAO access to records. He is also agitating for lawmakers to quickly start the search for potential replacements: “There’s no reason that they shouldn’t be planning now so that they can end up trying to make a timely decision.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Pritzker’s executive order is about policy, but there’s a hint of politics, too. It allows the governor to make Trump the villain of Illinois’ looming fiscal storm while positioning himself as the steward of stability. At least that’s what Republicans say. House GOP Leader Tony McCombie criticized Pritzker’s action, saying, “Stop passing blame, governor. Illinoisans aren’t buying that recent policy changes in Washington, D.C., are to blame for the decades of Illinois financial mismanagement.” And Senate Republican Leader John Curran criticized Pritzker for “increasing state spending” during the Biden administration. “If he is serious about protecting Illinois’ fiscal solvency, he will start by making the difficult, and sometimes unpopular decisions needed to constrain state spending, reduce taxes, and improve economic opportunity for all Illinoisans, regardless of who is president,” Curran said.

— State lawmaker Terra Costa Howard to become DuPage County judge
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250923/news/state-lawmaker-howard-to-become-dupage-county-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Terra Costa Howard is giving up her seat in the state House to become a DuPage County Circuit Court judge. The Illinois Supreme Court announced Tuesday it is appointing Howard as resident circuit judge, effective Oct. 17. Her term will end Dec. 7, 2026. She fills a vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Paul Fullerton. Howard, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, has served as a state representative since 2019, first for the 48th District and then the 42nd District. A spokesman confirmed Costa Howard is resigning, but said a date has not been set. Costa Howard has had a solo law practice since 2003. Before that, she worked in the DuPage County public defender’s office and as a staff attorney for the DuPage court. “From my first days of working in the Chief Judge’s office and the DuPage County Public Defender’s office, to my current role as State Representative, I have worked to serve the people of DuPage County,” Costa Howard said in a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court. “I believe that every step of my career has led me toward this new challenge, and I look forward to the prospect of bringing my experience — in law and in life — to the bench.” The state constitution prohibits . judges from holding elected office.)

I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012.

OAK PARK
— Marijuana and traffic. Oak Park today, your municipality tomorrow.
https://www.oakpark.com/2025/09/23/marijuana-and-traffic/
(FROM THE LETTER: Oak Park residents are facing growing public safety concerns, and the situation seems to be worsening. At the intersection of Taylor and Adams, few vehicles comes to a full stop at crosswalks — just one example of how traffic laws are being routinely ignored. This puts pedestrians at serious risk, and it’s not an isolated issue. Another concern is the frequent smell of marijuana on Oak Park streets, especially from passing vehicles. While recreational cannabis is legal in Illinois, the pervasive odor — often near schools, parks, and residential areas — has become a public nuisance and, at times, a health issue. Yet Democratic leadership has shown little interest in addressing the unintended consequences of legalization. Compounding these problems is the rise in uninsured motorists. A friend of mine was recently rear-ended by an uninsured driver whose car smelled strongly of marijuana. Beyond the financial burden, the incident highlighted the danger of impaired, unaccountable drivers. The Illinois Supreme Court’s 2024 People v. Redmond decision, which ruled that the smell of cannabis alone does not justify legal action, has made it even harder for law enforcement to respond effectively.)

— Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna says Pritzker budget cut EO a ploy for IL tax increases
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_f604509a-94fe-49a9-8a4d-f88ce2ceae99.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “How about, let’s not spend $2.3 billion on health care for illegal immigrants,” McCombie told The Center Square. “That’s not even touching what we spend on the increase of costs in our schools or for housing or other wraparound programs that they are qualifying for.” McCombie said Pritzker blaming Trump and not Democratic policies impacting the economy is a smokescreen for more tax increases. “Whether it’s for transit, whether it’s for more pork projects and or, God forbid, the failing energy policies that continue to plague Illinois,” McCombie said.)

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Illinois’ Congressional Democrats reject gerrymandering – for wrong reasons. Illinois Democrats rejected a mid-cycle redistricting plan cooked up by U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to maximize Democratic partisan advantage in the state’s congressional district map. The reason? They don’t want to endanger their safe seats.

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrat leaders decry that “Charlie Kirk left young followers all over Trump’s government. A generation of young conservatives idolized Kirk. Many have since aged into Washington jobs.” I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to take the postal employment examination with him. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.
