NEW YORK POST
— Affirmative action in hiring must end – Vivek Ramaswamy (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasing used Affirmative Action to get rid of Republicans, that is, Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasingly used patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about that.)
https://nypost.com/2023/07/16/follow-supremes-merit-based-lead-affirmative-action-in-hiring-must-end-too/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It turns out we’ve been living in a strictly enforced aristocracy — one based on where you fall in the “intersectional hierarchy” or oppression index. We’ve replaced color-blindness with merit-blindness and left ourselves utterly in the dark as to how to find competent individuals to start fixing our most serious problems. As the Asian students who just won their case at the Supreme Court found out the hard way, your ethnic heritage can indeed work against you at America’s preeminent DEI — diversity, equity, inclusion — enforcement camp, formerly known as the Ivy League. When the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, many cheered. Finally, our sacred meritocracy would be restored! Excellence would matter again. A student’s intellectual ability would be valued again. GPAs and SAT scores might even make a comeback! It remains to be seen if the law will have any effect on the blatantly unconstitutional practices long entrenched at college-admissions offices. Backwards job quotas But make no mistake — ugly racial quotas and unconstitutional policies are in full effect at corporate America’s HR departments. Anyone who works at a large company understands this. Less-qualified people are routinely hired and promoted over others based on shallow, literally skin-deep metrics. Hiring employees from disfavored demographic groups — men, Asians, heterosexuals, whites — won’t help boost your corporate ESG (environment, social and governance) score, so why bother? Could the new Supreme Court ruling also apply to corporate America? As 13 courageous state attorneys general recently pointed out in their letter to the Fortune 100 CEOs, it sure does. “Let there be no confusion: These principles apply equally to Title VII and other laws restricting race-based discrimination in employment and contracting. Courts routinely interpret Title VI and Title VII in conjunction with each other, adopting the same principles and interpretation for both statutes,” they wrote. “Accordingly, the Supreme Court’s recent decision should place every employer and contractor on notice of the illegality of racial quotas and race-based preferences in employment and contracting practices.” It’s thrilling to see state officials take their obligations to enforce anti-discrimination laws seriously. Kudos to the AGs from Kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia. Could these 13 states forge a new meritocratic alliance? A sanctuary region where skilled and talented people of any race could flourish without kneeling to the woke DEI gods? Of course, the Trump administration deserves credit for starting this pushback; its Department of Labor launched investigations into Microsoft and Wells Fargo over racial preferences and representation goals. But starting in 2020, the newly energized equity freight train plowed through the boardroom of every big company. What will the long-term consequences of this practice be in terms of competence, reputation and profit? Incredibly, even the airlines announced they would be hiring new pilots according to strict affirmative-action guidelines. In 2021, United Airlines vowed to make sure at least 50% of its new pilots are women or people of color. In 2023, Bud Light told United, “Hold my beer.” Making corporate DEI illegal is also good for the companies. If applied, this law would prevent them from making terrible business decisions — decisions that harm qualified applicants, keep talented people from achieving success, wreck valuable brands and make flyers worry about their plane crashing. As the AG letter concludes, “Social mobility is essential for the long-term viability of a democracy, and our leading institutions should continue to provide opportunities to underprivileged Americans. Race, though, is a poor proxy for what is fundamentally a class distinction. We urge you to immediately cease any unlawful race-based quotas or preferences your company has adopted for its employment and contracting practices. If you choose not to do so, know that you will be held accountable — sooner rather than later — for your decision to continue treating people differently because of the color of their skin. Federal law is now crystal clear that these corporate policies are illegal. We will see whether the Biden administration — which has so loudly claimed to support the Civil Rights Act — will enforce it.)

My superiors in the federal government and my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have used AA against me big time. I should write a book about that. They have always stressed that I have always opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that is, that I have always opposed Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Further, they have always stressed that I am heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978.  Again, I should write a book about that. I would focus on my critics/opponents who promote AA and DEI to curry favor with those who are LGBTQ, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-rich, non-gun owner, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2023/07/14/ten-reasons-why-affirmative-action-died-n2625719
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/14/10-reasons-why-affirmative-action-died/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The end of affirmative action was inevitable. The only surprise was that such intentions went terribly wrong and lasted so long. First, supporters of racial preferences always pushed back the goalposts for the program’s success. Was institutionalized reverse bias to last 20 years, 60 years, or ad infinitum? Parity became defined as an absolute equality of results. If “equity” was not obtained, then only institutionalized “racism” explained disparities. And only reverse racism was deemed the cure. Second, affirmative action was imposed on the back end in adult hiring and college admissions. However, to achieve parity, remediation early at the K-12 school level would have been the only solution. Yet such intervention was made impossible by teachers’ unions, the rise of identity politics, and government entitlements. All opposed school choice, self-help programs, critiques of cultural impediments, or restrictions on those blanket entitlements. Third, class, the true barometer of privilege, was rendered meaningless. Surrealism followed. The truly privileged Barack and Michelle Obama and Meghan Markel lectured the country on its unfairness — as if they had it far rougher than the impoverished “deplorable” of East Palestine, Ohio. Fourth, affirmative action supporters could never square the circle of proving that racial prejudices didn’t violate the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the text of the Constitution. What they were left with was the lame argument that because long ago, the 90% white majority had violated their own foundational documents, then such past bad unconstitutional bias could legitimately be rectified by present-day “good” unconstitutional bias. Fifth, supporters never adequately explained why the sins of prior generations fell on their descendants who grew up in the post-Civil Rights era. Nor could they account for why those who had never experienced institutionalized racism, much less Jim Crow apartheid or slavery, were to be compensated collectively for the suffering of long-dead individuals. No wonder 70% of the American people in many polls favored ending affirmative action, including half of African-Americans. Sixth, there never was a “rainbow” coalition of shared non-white victimhood — a concept necessary to perpetuate the premise of white privilege, supremacy, and rage, so integral to race-based reverse discrimination. More than a dozen ethnicities earn more per capita than whites. Asians have been subject to coerced internment, immigration restrictions, and zoning exclusions. Yet on average, they do better than whites economically and enjoy lower suicide rates and longer life expectancies. The arguments for affirmative action never explained why Asians and other minorities who faced discrimination outperformed the majority white population. As a result, affirmative action ended up discriminating against Asians on the premise they were too successful! Seventh, no one ever explained when affirmative action was to apply. Blacks, for example, were vastly “overrepresented” in merit-based professional football and basketball. Yet no one demanded “proportional representation” to address such “disparate impact” despite the underrepresentation of all other demographics. Yet if Blacks were “underrepresented” in baseball, then reparatory measures were supposed to address that fact — even if Latino players were “overrepresented” and whites “underrepresented” as well. No one in our race-obsessed culture, of course, objected that white males died at twice their demographics in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Eighth, in our increasingly intermarried mass-immigration society, few could adjudicate who was what, or much less what standard gave one racial preference. In lunatic fashion, pink, blond Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren became Harvard’s first “Native American” law professor due to her “high cheekbones.” Light-skinned Latinos were considered marginalized, while some darker Italians or Greeks were not. Ninth, an odious wokeism absorbed affirmative action and changed it into something even more abhorrent — as the original spirit of the Civil Rights movement was trashed. So Americans were asked to stomach a return to distasteful segregated dorms, “separate but equal” graduation ceremonies, and racially exclusive workshops. Tenth, and finally, affirmative action was insidiously destroying meritocracy. That hallmark American value of tribally-blind inclusivity had once explained why the nation outshone the world by discarding the old class prejudices of Europe. But increasingly, this value seemed to have been abandoned. When Stockton Rush, the late captain, and inventor of the ill-fated Titan deep-sea explorer, was quoted postmortem bragging that his company had no need of “old white guys” with long military expertise in submarining, Americans realized that woke racial discrimination was not just repulsive, but could get you killed. A nation whose pilot training, medical-school admissions, and military high command promotions were increasingly adopting racial, gender, or sexual-orientation essentialism was a country headed for the sort of Third World tribalism characteristic of failed states abroad. Ultimately, the court finally stepped in to end this unconstitutional aberration, more like the old Soviet commissariat than our ideals of equality under the law. The American people concurred. And the only regret seemed to be, why not sooner?)

— ‘What struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated. – Noel Manley’
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/646021621-manley-what-struck-me-was-the-level-of-indignance-both-commissioner-tornatore-and-chairman-zay-demonstrated
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Downers Grove Township Republican Organization hosted DuPage Commissioner Sam Tornatore and DuPage GOP Chairman Jim Zay. Noel Manley, a committeeman with the Downers Grove Township Republican Organization (DGTRO), said the pair’s performance was less than desirable. “DuPage Commissioner Tornatore and DuPage GOP Chairman Zay appeared at our July 10, 2023 DGTRO Committemen’s meeting,” Manley told the DuPage Policy Journal. “Both were invited by DGTRO Chairman Jack Novak to address concerns raised by committeemen regarding their actions. Commissioner Tornatore addressed a $1,000.00 donation made by his firm to Democrat Deb Conroy.” “The commissioner reported that he was invited to the event by a trusted Republican friend. It was discovered last night that donating to Democrat events is a common practice among Republican leadership. Chairman Zay’s remarks focused on coming together as Republicans and not dwell in the past. Both justified their actions as efforts necessary to protect the budgets of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.” “However, what struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated in their explanations. Specifically, their justifications were peppered with comments such as, ‘I didn’t have to be here tonight.’ In addition, questions and comments raised by committeemen regarding the lack of support in recent elections, and contributions to Democrat events were simply dismissed or ignored. In fact, there was no effort to demonstrate any humility or contriteness regarding these matters.” “To compound this presentation, DGTRO Chairman Jack Novak referred to our group of concerned committeemen as anarchists and declared that there is no room for activism in the Republican Party. So it was clear that there was no interest in listening to our concerns, nor a willingness to understand the demoralizing impact GOP leadership’s actions are taking on the rank and file. In fact, the subtext was the exact opposite, ‘Get in line, and shut up. And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.’” Zay, chairman of the DuPage County Republican Party, has refused to criticize fellow Republicans who financially and materially supported Democratic candidate Deb Conroy in her campaign for DuPage County Board Chair. In a letter to the DuPage GOP, Zay emphasized the need for unity within the party and calls for an end to public criticism of fellow Republicans, stating that it only weakens the party and hinders its ability to expand its base. The statement came after Republican members, including Tornatore and former Board member Donald Puchalski, were outed by the DuPage Policy Journal for making campaign donations to Conroy, drawing attention and controversy within the party. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. The DuPage Republicans who have thrown in to support the campaigns of Democrats as we Zay drew the ire of former state representative and one-time gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives. Ives, now CEO of Breakthrough Ideas, criticized her fellow DuPage County Republicans for supporting the progressive Conroy’s campaign for DuPage County Board Chair, highlighting Conroy’s alignment with the Democratic Party’s platform and her controversial legislative decisions. “Democrat policies have destroyed the state of Illinois,” Ives said. “I am disgusted that any of my fellow Republicans would do so or defend other Republicans who do so, especially a fundraiser for Deb Conroy.” “Conroy is opposed to every single aspect of our Republican party platform.”)

— French riots show the future of Joe Biden’s America – William Davis
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/07/french_riots_show_the_future_of_joe_bidens_america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the U.S. deals with the consequences of mass immigration, important lessons can be learned from our oldest European ally. Over the past few weeks, France has been engulfed in riots after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. The rioting and looting have largely been centered in communities with many migrants from North African and Islamic nations. The rioting has caused more than one billion dollars in property damage, and has led to thousands of arrests. It has also led to a renewed debate in Europe about the costs of mass migration and whether or not those costs are worth it. It’s not just the U.S. that has experienced an influx of foreign nationals in recent years. France took in a record number of migrants in 2022, both legal and illegal. The European Union resettled nearly one million migrants last year, not including refugees from war-torn Ukraine. The main countries of origin for these refugees were Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey, Venezuela, and Columbia. Just as we’ve seen in the U.S., these large influxes of migrants have had a destabilizing effect on the continent’s cultural, economic, and political life. The carnage occurring in France is the result of long-simmering tensions finally coming to the surface. It’s the results of migrants from third-world, war-torn countries not assimilating into their new country, but bringing the baggage from their old countries with them. During the France riots, a group of North African migrants could be seen chanting “f*ck France,” and “We’re just here for the welfare!” The crassness of these migrants certainly isn’t representative of everybody seeking to come from the third world to prosperous western nations, but it is indicative of a larger problem with mass immigration. Many of these foreign nationals come from countries where violence and chaos has been normalized, and the importation of migrants from these types of countries can also serve to normalize the same type of disorder in their new countries. This is why what’s happening in France should serve as a warning sign for Americans. More than five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasing destroy those who do not hate Trump. Who are the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting on the recent DeSantis event in Elmhurst. I would focus on those who stopped me from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.

— Biden administration objects to merit-based military promotions – Caitlin Doornbos (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors used Affirmative Action a) to waste my career including delaying my promotions and not promoting me beyond GS-13 and b) to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://nypost.com/2023/07/11/biden-admin-objects-to-merit-based-military-promotions-no-race-quotas/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House has come out against a provision in the annual defense spending bill that would require the military to base promotion decisions on who is the best candidate for the job, regardless of their race. The Office of Management and Budget included the merit clause on a list of eight that are opposed by the administration and would reverse many of the diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility policies Biden forced on all federal agencies just hours after taking office.)

CHRISTIAN POST
— According to my critics/opponents on the left, I am far too conservative, if not a conservative extremist. What if my Lutheran parents had not stayed with the less-conservative Missouri Synod? In 1961, when I was 13 years old, to stay with the Missouri Synod, they left Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete for the Missouri Synod-run Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and transferred my brother and I to Hope Lutheran Grade School because Trinity Lutheran had transferred to the more-conservative Wisconsin Synod.

https://wcfcourier.com/opinion/letters/nation-is-under-attack-through-fentanyl/article_2c455340-1c71-11ee-90ab-0faa1a7ae780.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Illegal fentanyl is manufactured in China, shipped to Jalisco and Sinaloan cartels in Mexico. It is then shipped to our U.S. addicts and many will die of overdose. Fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than morphine and most addicts do not have a medical degree to get the right dose. Fentanyl overdoses have killed more than car accidents, gun violence, breast cancer, and suicide per year. We as a nation are under attack. We elect politicians to provide for our common defense, and they are doing a poor job of it. With the help of drugs and guns we are killing Americans quicker than new ones are born. China and other of our enemies find this easier than fighting our military. “Ask what you can do for your country, and do it now while you have time.”)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrats ask “After Supreme Court Ruling, Can the Essay Get You In?” and say “It may help to identify minority students, but experts caution against expecting essays to replace affirmative action.” I specially stated in my 1972 Loyola graduate business college application and in my 1976 DePaul graduate accounting college application that I wanted to take the courses to maintain and improve my job skills as an IRS employee. But my Democrat IRS superiors not only ignored that to disallow those courses, they outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied in those applications and that I took those courses to get a job in the private sector.

I would focus on those a) who have less job-related work experience than I have, b) who have less job-related education than I have, c) who have fewer job-related professional certifications than I have, and/or d) who do not have a job-related professional license like I have. I would focus on those who did things that disqualified themselves from being a federal employee.)

In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

It is titled “Unity in Diversity * Celebrating the Diversity of Team USA.” The calendar highlights “diversity” by assigning each month a highlight of an aspect of diversity. Starting in January, they are: World Braille Day, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Earth Day, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Disability Pride Month, Women’s Equality Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Native American Heritage Month and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As a white American, straight male who is the direct descendant of nine male veterans of the American Revolution, we get no recognition. Not even Independence Day. Without them and their fellow soldiers, there would be no TEAM US (America).)

But if Grogan does not run, who will the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) run? If the DCRCC cannot get anyone to run, will the DCRCC ask me to run? Just kidding. My qualifications include a) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, although Grogan did that and his scores were higher, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, c) I became a licensed CPA, d) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, e) I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, f) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant, and g) I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter for 13 years.

SOUTHERN
— Democrats acknowledge that “Casey DeSantis makes her solo campaign debut in Iowa.” Of course, since my wife and I got married in 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have been extremely envious of her income and of the support that she has given me and b) have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that without her, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) afford/suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, f) earn four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and g) earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. In my defense, before I met her, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I bought a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building in 1976, c) I bought a studio condo in that building in 1974, d) I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, and e) I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971.

I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. Those low-wage jobs enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC and NIU expenses 1966-1970, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and f) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Anthony Castro has not been shy about his dislike for former President Donald Trump. Once a donor—he gave $1,700 to Trump’s campaign after his shocking victory in the 2016 election—the Texas tax attorney and longshot 2024 Republican presidential candidate has since become one of his fiercest critics. He has sued Trump several times, launching his campaign with a lawsuit against Trump in his adopted home state of Florida seeking to disqualify him from the ballot. He has campaigned opposite Trump numerous times, lending support to anti-Trump groups and candidates like the Lincoln Project and former Alabama Democratic Senator Doug Jones. And he’s willing to invest millions to see Trump lose, loaning $20 million to his campaign ahead of an advertising blitz against the former president in early-voting states like New Hampshire.)

I started serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2005. But my anti-conservative and my anti-Republican critics/opponents ended that in 2021.

I should write a book about Republican participation in and sponsorship of Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978.)

WASHINGTON POST
— To give more preference to Democrats and to discriminate more against Republicans, Democrats will ever-increasingly replace objectivity with subjectivity in education, hiring, promotions, and everything else. To promote Democrats over me, the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969 ever-increasing rendered my job-related work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license worthless.

For me, because of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, because of patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, the following has frustrated my job searches: a) Democrat dominance of northeast Illinois, b) my not being a veteran and especially my being a draft avoider, c) my being conservative, d) my being Republican, e) my not being a minority, f) my not being a female, g) my being older (born in 1948), h) my being Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), i) my being 100% German American, j) my ancestors having been in America since 1844, k) my being a Crete resident 1948-1972, l) my being a Wheaton resident since 1978, m) my opposing race and gender based preference giving, that is, my opposing patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, n) my being a union member for almost 12 years, o) my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and p) the many adverse actions that my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors took against me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

WHITE HOUSE
— To promote and retain Democrats in the federal government who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors increasingly lowered promotion and retention requirements. Constructively, that rendered worthless a) my almost 18 years of GAO work experience, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, b) my almost 9 years of IRS work experience, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, c) my CPA license, d) my Accounting, Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant certifications, and e) my master’s degrees in finance, accounting, and business. I should write a book about that.
