If you are White and you seek a government office or a political office, expect that your critics/opponents will use your parents and use their parents against you. What is your hometown? What is/was your parents’ hometown and your grandparents’ hometown? Crete was my hometown. I lived there 1948-1972. Crete was my father’s hometown and his parents’ hometown. Grant Park was my mother’s hometown and her parent’s hometown. I should write a book about how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my parents, their parents, Crete, and Grant Park against me.

They hint/imply/argue/shout that Crete and Grant Park were full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I 1997, when I was 49 years old, they got rid of me. I am Republican, White, male, and non-veteran. They did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986. They forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois means little to President Donald Trump by way of electoral votes, but the state still has some eager Republican donors. Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Trump campaign’s national finance chair, made a stop at Bull Valley Golf Club in Woodstock, Tuesday afternoon. The club is about 60 miles northwest of Chicago and has been a go-to spot for Republican fundraisers. Entry to this exclusive fundraiser was pricey, ranging from a $1,000 ticket for a single, no-frills ticket to $100,000 per couple for co-chair status (and lots of access), plus some price points in between. The event was hosted by Gary Rabine, owner of a Schaumburg-based paving and concrete company. Trump and Guilfoyle then headed to downtown Chicago for another schmoozy gathering with Trump Finance Chair and Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts and philanthropist and political fundraiser Eleni Bousis (she and her husband, grocery chain owner Jim Bousis, were big supporters of former Gov. Bruce Rauner). Others rubbing elbows with Trump Jr.: Illinois Republican Committeeman Richard Porter, former Blackhawks player Jeremy Roenick, and Eloise Gerson, president of the 42nd Ward Republican Organization. Adding it all up: The Trump surrogate swing through Illinois was pulled together in just a few days and raised about $450,000. – Shia Kapos

But what I learned by working for IRS staring in 1971, by taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul starting in 1976, and by taking the Becker CPA review course starting in 1978 enabled me to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But my Democrat IRS superiors were furious that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt because that frustrated their efforts to get rid of me.)
https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/accounting-audit/news/21158181/applications-being-accepted-for-minority-accounting-internship-preparation-program
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Participants will engage in various sessions with representatives from Abbott, Crowe LLP, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Grant Thornton LLP, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, KPMG LLP, PwC LLP, Sikich LLP, and Wipfli LLP, who will also be interviewing for a variety of paid internship opportunities. Other program highlights include motivational keynotes, resume advice, interview coaching, team building exercises, LinkedIn profile development, and opportunities to network with mentors, program alumni, and other diverse students. Additionally, all scholars will receive a $500 scholarship to help with their educational expenses. “In just three days, this amazing program prepares participants to successfully make the crucial transition from student to young professional,” says Kari L.

https://www.newsweek.com/justice-thomas-wants-scotus-revisit-statute-granting-social-media-platforms-protection-users-1538790
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas, a staunch conservative, referred to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which says “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Social media companies—like Facebook and Twitter—rely on this statute to remain protected from lawsuits resulting from offensive or inappropriate content that may be published by users. “Paring back the sweeping immunity courts have read into §230 would not necessarily render defendants liable for online misconduct. It simply would give plaintiffs a chance to raise their claims in the first place. Plaintiffs still must prove the merits of their cases, and some claims will undoubtedly fail. Moreover, States and the Federal Government are free to update their liability laws to make them more appropriate for an Internet-driven society,” Thomas wrote.)
