The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, Black, female, or veteran who would take the job. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

HR MORNING
— Hit with a bias claim? Here’s what you need to beat it. – Tom D’Agostino
(COMMENT: I should write a book about pretext. Because it is illegal to discriminate because of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, and/or political affiliation if you are a government employee, etc., those who discriminate use pretexts. Most commonly, discriminators foist negative stereotypes of your demographics upon you. If you are White, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Whites and you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, racist, etc. If you are male, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against women and you are a sexist. If you are older, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against younger people. If you are heterosexual, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against LGBTQers and you are a bigot. If you are Protestant, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Protestants. If you are German American, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-German Americans. If you are Republican, they hint/imply/argue/shout that you discriminate against non-Republicans. I would focus on pretexural discriminators who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. According to Pluralism ( https://pluralism.org/stereotypes-and-prejudice ), Protestants are anti-Catholic and anti-Semite. According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans ), negative German stereotypes include being Nazis and not having a sense of humor. According to Babbel ( https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/false-german-stereotypes ), negative German stereotypes include being unfriendly and loving cars.)
https://www.hrmorning.com/news/hostile-environment-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s common sense, really: Employers accused of taking action against an employee for an illegal reason must be prepared to say what the real reason was – and that it was perfectly legitimate. In a typical case, articulating a nondiscriminatory reason volleys the burden to the plaintiff to show that the proffered reason is not real but instead is just a pretext for unlawful bias. And if the plaintiff can’t show pretext, the case usually ends.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO and IRS superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against me because I did not give enough preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors painted themselves as being champions of parents.

They stressed the 4-page article about us in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue in which we stated our intent to have children and they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my wife and I had lied.

They painted themselves as being GOD-LIKE because they had children, because they had adopted, and/or because they were foster parents. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, adopted, or became foster parents a) my wife would NOT have been able to keep her job with the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and she would NOT have earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and b) I would NOT have passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, NOT gotten hired by GAO in 1980, NOT earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, NOT passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, NOT became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. The adverse actions that they took against me included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, e) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

— The Parents Right Amendment – KURT LASH
(COMMENT: My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Further, my parents were 100% German national origin. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most because of the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)
https://www.newsweek.com/parents-right-amendment-opinion-1649539

— Not Your Parents’ Career—Or Is It? Parents Exert Significant Influence On Kids’ Career Choices – Mark C. Perna
(COMMENT: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because he had brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, his doctors discouraged him from going to college because that would cause him too much stress. He frequently said his not having a college degree harmed his career opportunities. My mother never attended high school.)

(COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000; NOT the GOPUSA DuPage County Editor, NOT the GOPUSA Milton Township Editor, and NOT the GOPUSA Wheaton Editor. Ever-increasingly, government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton voters comes from anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican sources. This year, those anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican sources did NOT report that that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs had stopped DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. Last year, they did NOT report that in June, it was Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who had great success in promoting LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton.)
https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/exploiting-the-local-news-desert,207894
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent years at least 1,400 local news publications, most of them digital, have begun to fill America’s large and growing local news desert. But are they really “greening” that desert by filling it with legitimate local news? Or are they just trying to exploit it financially and politically?)

(COMMENT: Government and political reporters and journalists are either pro-conservative or anti-conservative. I am pro-conservative. Ever-increasingly, voters distrust government and political reporters and journalists who falsely deny that they are anti-conservative.)
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/november_2021/media_bias_voter_distrust_of_political_news_grows
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters increasingly distrust reporting about politics, and most think the media are less aggressive in questioning President Joe Biden than they were with former President Donald Trump. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters don’t trust the political news they’re getting. That’s up from 43% in July. Just 33% now say they trust the political news they’re getting, down from 37% in July. Another 14% are not sure.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that it was slavery that brought all the income and all the net worth that Republicans have today. Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the more of the following that you are, the more reparations that you should pay: law enforcement officer, Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.

EPOCH TIMES
— Dr. Jason Hill on Reparations, White Guilt, and the ‘Age of Post-Oppression’ – JAN JEKIELEK
(COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans. AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Reparations. Who has paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations? I should write a book about those who have determined, are determining, and will determine who paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/dr-jason-hill-on-reparations-white-guilt-and-the-age-of-post-oppression_4102379.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It befuddles me to see how someone who’s living in Appalachia in a trailer park, who has no access to water, health care, is a walking practitioner of racism, and that that person should, in some sense, participate in a reparations program for … an upper-class black person with five college degrees.”)

POLITICO
— FBI raid on Project Veritas founder’s home sparks questions about press freedom. The action against James O’Keefe has prompted concern about the Biden administration’s commitment to the First Amendment. – JOSH GERSTEIN
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I falsely claim to be a journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/13/raid-veritas-okeefe-biden-press-521307
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the center of the gathering legal storm is a pivotal question: Is O’Keefe a journalist in the eyes of the law? O’Keefe’s attorneys insist that despite his evident political bent and his unorthodox — sometimes deceptive — tactics, he qualifies as a journalist under a federal statute and Justice Department regulations aimed at sharply restricting the use of search warrants and similar steps against members of the media. Prosecutors insist they’ve complied with those requirements, but have thus far been cagey about whether or not they’re treating O’Keefe as a member of the press.)

THE HILL
— Can a new ‘anti-woke’ university make it financially? – RONALD L. TROWBRIDGE
(COMMENT: Of course, employers that are the following will not hire University of Austin graduates: anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/581333-can-a-new-anti-woke-university-make-it-financially
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Nov. 8 the University of Austin in Texas came into being. It will grant undergraduate and master’s degrees and plans to purchase property, classroom buildings, labs, dormitories and related facilities, as well as hire faculty and staff. The price tag will of course be staggering. The university says it “will not factor race, gender, or class into admissions decisions, standing firmly against that sort of discrimination.” It will be “fiercely independent — financially, intellectually, and politically.” In sum, it will be anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, and more significantly, pro-free speech — unlike virtually every other university and college in the country.)

— Gerrymandering surges as states redraw maps for House seats – DAVID A. LIEB and NICHOLAS RICCARDI
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat plants and the RINOs who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015. To get rid of me, they drew me into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives. I lost about 250 voters west of the Illinois Prairie Path or about half of my about 500 voters that I had since 1999 and gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road. Fewer of the voters I gained were Republican than those who I lost.)

— Babylon Bee makes fun of the Left in newly released ‘Guide to Wokeness’ – Michael Gryboski
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being woke and champions of the oppressed. I should write a book about them. To paint me as being an oppressor, they stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, heterosexual, married, childless, non-dog owner, gun owner, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and have owned land in America since 1854, Crete resident 1948-1972, new car owner since 1966, real estate owner since 1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, etc.)
https://www.christianpost.com/books/babylon-bee-pokes-fun-at-the-left-in-new-guide-to-wokeness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The minds behind the popular Christian satire site The Babylon Bee have released a new book that pokes fun at the ideas and actions of those who identify as “woke.” The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness was released earlier this month as a satirical critique of woke ideology. The book was dedicated to communist dictator Joseph Stalin, whom it calls a “woke hero” and “champion of the oppressed proletariat.” The book promises to help readers “take your wokeness to the next level by canceling friends, breaking windows, and burning it all to the ground.” “Wokeness isn’t a private religion you can keep to yourself,” explains the introduction. “Once you see the world through woke eyes, you’ll never be the same, and you’ll never be able to stop telling your friends about your new beliefs. Kind of like when you join CrossFit or become vegan — or get an air fryer.” The guide defines “woke” as “[f]inding your identity not in objective reality, but in your feelings,” “[w]orshiping the planet because humanity is evil,” “[f]inding the racism, sexism, and hatred in everything” and “[b]rainwashing your kids to hate life and be miserable.” “Because you don’t want to raise a generation of happy, well-adjusted kids — that’s what NAZIS do,” the guide warns.)

FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL
— Tell Congress not to draft our daughters!
(COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Racism costs Americans trillions. Biden and the Fed say they’re working to change that. – Joe Davidson
(COMMENT: What would your superiors say that they did to fight racism? My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

(COMMENT: I quit my Firestone Stores job in 1971 when I was 22 years old a) because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, b) because I saw my opportunities for advancement working for Firestone as being limited, c) because what I had learned earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 as being wasted, d) because the job did not really require a college degree – I was required to spent too much time installing tires on cars and pumping gasoline, and e) because my boss disapproved of the fact that I had avoided the draft, that I was Protestant, and that I was 100% German American – Firestone’s District office hired me – he never would have hired me. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer and that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

(COMMENT: My critics/opponents want the following to muzzle me and to muzzle my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc. In my capacity as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor 2005-2019, I raised funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republican could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, the aforesaid succeeded in muzzling me and muzzling my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters by stopping me from doing that.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/2/conservative-pundit-prager-says-he-feels-muzzled-b/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If I say the ‘wrong thing’ — whatever that might be — on my Fireside Chat podcast for PragerU, I can be yanked off YouTube or Facebook. When big business and big government work together to muzzle free speech, that’s fascism,” Mr. Prager said. The nationally syndicated talk show host’s comments came as his company PragerU continues to wage a long legal battle against Google’s YouTube. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled unanimously against Mr. Prager‘s claim of illegal censorship of conservatives. But Mr. Prager continues to allege that YouTube prevents PragerU from advertising videos due to unexplained violations of community guidelines, restricting other videos as likewise inappropriate and adding a disclaimer that the content may be factually incorrect. “Never in the history of this country has free speech been in such jeopardy. What’s even more shocking is that the threat is not coming directly from the government but from woke corporations,” Mr. Prager said.)

(COMMENT: Government is nasty. Politics are nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs are nasty.

MICHIGAN DAILY
— APRIL 12, 2021 FLASHBACK: Republicans aren’t conservative anymore – Lydia Storella
(COMMENT: What should I say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that none of following came to my defense when Wheaton and the Wheaton Park District (WPD) stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, WPD, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, f) etc.? What should I say to those who stress that none of those who contributed funds in the past came to my defense including the following: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Burke, Joe Cantore, Roger Claar, Franco Coladipietro, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, Tom Cross, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Sherry Falbo, Paul Fullerton, Bob Gibson, Amy Grant, Bob Grogan, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Bob Kleeman, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, John Millner, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Jim Oberweis, Debra Olson, Sandy Pihos, Karyn Romano, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay. Should one construe that the aforesaid will not seek a government or political office as a Republican in the future? Should one construe that the aforesaid have “moved to the left?” Should one construe that the aforesaid have become anti-conservative? Or should one construe that my critics/opponents have promised to destroy ANYONE who might come to my defense? If Wheaton and the WPD “let” me raise funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2022 Independence Day parade and fireworks like I did 2005-2019, will candidates on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County contribute? If not, why not?)
