WASHINGTON POST & THE HILL
— Belief that anyone can achieve the American Dream is fading. DD: Because Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn my demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844) to get more votes from those who do not share my demographics, if I was young today, I very much doubt that I could achieve what I did. I bought new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc. I earned colleges degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48. I bought real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, 35, etc. I got married when I was 29. I earned professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a professional license when I was 32. The Democrats who ran SS Kresge when I was 16, the Post Office when I was 18, IRS when I was 22, and GAO when I was 31 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.

MADISON COUNTY JOURNAL
— Democrats take great offense at being accused of being unpatriotic — but the data don’t lie. A new NBC News poll captured the partisan gap over pride in America. Overall, 56% of Americans are extremely or very proud of the country, but only 29% of Democrats, compared to 90% of Republicans. That’s a yawning gap, and about a matter that really shouldn’t be controversial. We aren’t talking about abortion, or Donald Trump’s White House ballroom, but an elemental thing — pride in country — that in most times and places has been taken for granted. Once upon a time, that was the case here. The Gallup poll found in January 2001 that nearly 90 percent of Americans were extremely or very proud of the country. In 2017, according to Gallup, 75% of the public said they extremely or very proud of America — a low at the time — and it’s been down since. The decline has been driven largely by Democrats. Their disdain for President Trump clearly is responsible for some of the drop, but not all of it. Democrats were less proud of the country than Republicans even when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were president.

— When is a performance improvement plan (PIP) an adverse employment action?

My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and b) forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and d) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I frustrated their efforts to get rid of me by earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1981, and 1997, c) professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981.

FED SMITH
— Federal Employee Pay Has Reached Record Levels—But the Story Is More Complicated Than It Appears. Federal salaries now average $112,456, but workforce demographics, retirements, and hiring challenges reveal a more nuanced picture of federal pay. DD: My critics/opponents who are/were not union members are vehemently anti-union. According to my critics/opponents, I have always been grossly overpaid. They have always been furious that while I was a union member when I was a postal employee for almost 3 years and then an IRS employee for almost 9 years, my salary increased from $19.57/hour to $113,402/year in today’s dollars. I my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in business, I earned an MBA, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $56,409/year when I was 22 in 1971, $68,999/year when I was 23, $83,482/year when I was 24, $100,059/year when I was 25, and $113,402/year when I was 31. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $89,703/year when I was 31, $118,984/year when I was 38, and $154,682/year when I was 49. I earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. I earned four more job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a master’s degree in finance when I was 48.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DD: Democrats protest Turning Point USA Educators’ Summit; ‘they’re not welcome here.’ DD: How successful have Democrat leaders in your county, township, municipality, and school district been in promoting more hatred against Charlie Kirk, TPUSA, conservates, Republicans, Trump, and America?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/17/lake-county-protesters-turning-point-usa/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On its website, Turning Point Education isn’t shy about its Christian and conservative goals; they’re two of the group’s five pillars, and the website says they’re dedicated to “reclaiming the education of our children, reviving virtuous education focused on truth, goodness and beauty, and restoring God as the foundation of education.” The summit’s webpage lists nearly 30 speakers, including TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk, the wife of the late Charlie Kirk. Other speakers include the founder of the ACE scholarship program, several Republican politicians, and an extensive mix of conservative activists, Christian authors, Christian school officials, and professors who support a “Biblical worldview” in classrooms, as described in an online event description. The protest saw about 60 to 70 people, chanting, carrying signs, and beating drums. Some chants alternated between targeting President Donald Trump and TPUSA. . .Over the last two decades, Lake County has leaned increasingly blue, with steadily rising numbers of Democratic voters completely flipping the county government and giving Lake County to Democratic presidential candidates in the last five presidential elections. Meanwhile, the number of Republican voters has hit record lows.)

But nevertheless, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— Immigration — Rules and Reality
https://cis.org/Vara/Immigration-Rules-and-Reality
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some of the most basic of rules that apply to any person seeking to reside in another country indefinitely: 1. Assimilate. Keep your ethnic roots, but adhere to the norms of the society that you seek to join and claim to want to be a part of. 2. Contribute. Don’t look around at what other people have and expect that they will give it to you. Instead, open your eyes and see that in this country, much more so than in most countries, you have the opportunity to show what you are made of and not only get those things for yourself, but maybe even get more if you have what it takes. 3. Be Grateful. You may never be a billionaire, a millionaire, or even a high-net-worth individual. But in this country, those willing to work and realistically accept where they are at in their lives at any given moment will always have a home and a relatively good life. Certainly as compared to other countries, especially countries like Mexico and many of those in Latin America, Africa, and the non-affluent Middle East. Until and if you make it, you may have to live in a poor neighborhood. You may have to drive an old beat-up pick-up truck vs. a BMW. You might have to buy your clothes at Walmart vs. Neiman’s. And you may have to eat at Dominos, McDonalds, or a Taco Shack vs. Morton’s or Ruth’s Chris. But life will still be better than if you were back home in whatever third-world country you fled from to come here. Most importantly, in this country you will continue to have the chance to advance to an even better life. In some cases, far beyond your wildest dreams. 4. Obey the Rules. Whether you accept them or not, laws dictate. Violate the laws and risk your freedom and your ability to remain here. If you truly value the opportunity that has been handed to you, think twice before you take the risk. 5. Accept Reality. Immigration enforcement is not about racism. It is about the laws and norms of a nation and its society. Wealth and wealth-building are not dictated by racism. Neither is investment strategy. Neither is social stratification. Neither is living in a multi-million-dollar home vs. a $50,000 home. Neither is driving a very expensive car vs. driving a very inexpensive one. Neither is owning a yacht vs. owning a dinghy. . .6. Don’t Expect of Americans what Americans Should Not Expect of Others. Except for the extremely naive or foolish, Americans are not moving to Mexico or any other country and trying to get them to speak English.)

The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. GAO would not have hired me if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and earned an MBA. IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in business. The Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma.

Undergraduates pursuing a bachelor’s degree expect to earn roughly $80,000 one year after graduation — about $24,000 more than the average starting salary of $56,153, according to Clever Real Estate. Clever surveyed 769 undergraduates and found that elevated salary expectations were common across all majors, but students studying education and nursing showed a wider disconnect than others. The 10 college majors with the highest unemployment. “Although teachers have historically been underpaid, education majors still anticipate making a starting salary of $75,186 — about 62% more than the $46,526 they will likely receive,” the report said. Nursing majors expect a starting salary of $83,219 or 32% more than a “realistic salary” of $63,000 for nurses with one year of experience, according to Clever. But even students in higher-earning degree programs overestimated their starting salaries. Engineers, for example, expect to start at $92,452 — roughly 17% more than the $78,731 they will likely make one year out of college, the report noted. Starting salaries weren’t the only misjudgment – students’ mid-career expectations were off, as well. Ten years after graduation, the students surveyed expected to make around $145,000 on average, but the average mid-career salary is only $95,521, Clever said.)

DD: All my employers were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. The Democrats who ran the Post Office would not have hire me in 1966 if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma. The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 would not have hired me if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in business and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 would not have hired me if I had not earned an MBA and passed the CPA examination in my first attempt.

— Tom Homan answers how many more deportations needed to restore country. Homan confirmed the Trump administration is onboarding 10,000 more immigration enforcement agents to carry out deportations. DD: When I was 22 in 1971, I had to have a job. My father had died suddenly and I was helping support my mother and brother and my Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile withdrew because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS, the only offer that I got. But what if the only job offer that I got was to be an immigration enforcement agent?

They hinted/implied/argued that because of the aforesaid, I was a disgusting unpatriotic coward and even worse things. They took many big adverse actions against me.

By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

According to them, because I was a federal employee, I had plenty of time and money to do the following because federal employees work only 40 hours a week and because they are grossly overpaid: a) earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) get promoted when I was 22, 23, 25, and 38, c) earn job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, d) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and e) earn a job-related professional license when I was 32.

— DD: After you earned your bachelor’s degree, what harmed your job search? For me, it was potential employers seeing me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire Democrats who were minority, female, and/or veteran and I was none of the aforesaid. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. But it was for a job that did not really require a college degree.

— Mayor Mamdani’s Equity Plan Puts Group Identity Over Merit. Privileging ancestry risks dismantling the engine of opportunity that made New York City great.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/new-york-city-mamdani-racial-equity-plan
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New York City is one of the most opportunity-rich places on earth. It has attracted generations of immigrants of every race and creed, often arriving with little more than a suitcase and the firm belief that their hard work and determination would be rewarded. Yet Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly released Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan—a 375-page monument to grievance politics and DEI—treats this urban engine of opportunity as a machine of oppression, in which “systemic racism” explains every gap in wealth, health, and achievement.
Released to great fanfare alongside a True Cost of Living report that dutifully slices data by race, Mamdani’s equity plan orders 45 agencies to view every budget line, hiring decision, and service through a “racial equity lens.” The result? More than 800 strategies and 600 indicators across seven domains—including economy, housing, education, and safety—that clothe institutionalized racial preferences in the garb of justice and will cost the city untold millions of dollars. The “missions and commitments” of city agencies are described with terms like diversity, equity, inclusion (listed separately so that the plan cannot be labeled DEI or critical theory), systemic disparity, racism, racial inequities, representation, discrimination, bias, segregation, and marginal. The agencies’ goals are to reinterpret their histories as structurally biased, to conduct extensive anti-bias trainings, to disaggregate data until disparities are all but guaranteed to appear, and then to align spending and policy decisions with predetermined equity targets, such as in hiring or minority- or women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) procurement requirements. Mamdani’s equity plan is not the product of neutral analysis. It is a framework that presumes its conclusions and then operationalizes them. The result will be a city government less flexible and empirically oriented, one virtually obligated to see every outcome and process from a racial perspective. Searching keyword frequency offers insight into the plan’s identity hierarchy: “race,” including its variants “racist,” “racial,” and “racism,” appears 751 times. “Black” appears 189 times, “Latin” and “Hispanic” 97 times, “color” and “white” 49, “Asian” 27, and “Jew” or “Jewish” just once. In a sweeping, discrimination-obsessed government plan, a single, cursory mention of the group most disproportionately affected by bias attacks is striking. Jews have made up the largest share of hate-crime victims in New York City since 2000, when systematic tracking began. In recent years, even amid waves of attacks against Asians, attacks on Jews accounted for more than half of all hate-crime incidents (57 percent last year)—far in excess of the Jewish proportion of New York City residents. The word “merit” also gets but a single mention in the equity plan, relating to the New York State Civil Service Law requirement that candidates take a test to determine their qualifications for many jobs. The plan notes that this requirement reduced some groups’ “representation” in various positions. This suggests Mamdani’s readiness to favor identity-based characteristics over individual merit in civil service hiring. Dumbing down the test, for example, would align with the plan’s stated aim to produce equal employment outcomes across identity groups, reducing “gaps” without regard to actual performance in order to reach the goal of “equitable hiring.” This approach would undermine the very systems that once drove the city’s growth.)

— Twenty-somethings are drinking less, exercising more—and changing the way they socialize with others. DD: While you were working, what did you do that your coworkers did not do? While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I took job-related college courses 1966-1969, but none of my Democrat coworkers did that. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I took job-related graduate evening courses 1972-1980, but none of my Democrat coworkers did that. I took the CPA examination and passed it on my first attempt in 1979, but none of my Democrat coworkers did that. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, I took job-related graduate evening courses in 1980 and then 1992-1997, but none of my Democrat coworkers did that. I took the Certified Internal Auditor examination and passed it on my first attempt in 1981, but none of my Democrat coworkers did that. I became a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Managers in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, but none of my Democrat GAO coworkers did that. To get promoted, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on getting rid of their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates.

— Musk’s $1 trillion pay package renews focus on soaring CEO compensation. DD: Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have ever-increasingly demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, my Post Office, IRS, and GAO salary increased from $19.57/hour to $154,682/year in 1997. In my defense, during that time, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Ahead of filing season, IRS scraps customer service metric it’s used for 20 years. DD: In 1974, when I was a newly promoted 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I was responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into IRS’s new Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental opportunity and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) in 1974.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2026/01/ahead-of-filing-season-irs-scraps-customer-service-metric-its-used-for-20-years/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The IRS and the Treasury Department did not respond to requests for comment. Bisignano told the Washington Post that the new metrics will track the agency’s average speed to answer incoming calls, call abandonment rates and the amount of time taxpayers spend on the line with the agency. He told the Post that the agency’s old phone metrics didn’t help the IRS with its mission of solving taxpayers’ problems — and that the agency is investing in technology to better service its customers. “We’re constantly investing in technology. We constantly must reap the rewards of it,” Bisignano told the Post. The IRS is specifically sunsetting its Customer Service Representative Level of Service metric. The agency has used this metric for more than 20 years. But the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent watchdog within the IRS, told Congress last year that this metric is “misleading” and “does not accurately reflect the experience of most taxpayers who call” the agency. National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins wrote in last year’s mid-year report to Congress that this Level of Service (LOS) metric only reflects calls coming into IRS accounts management phone lines, which make up only about 25% of the agency’s total call volume. Using the LOS metric, the IRS achieved an 88% level of phone service in fiscal 2024. But IRS employees actually answered less than a third of calls received during the 2024 filing season — both in terms of total calls, and calls to accounts management phone lines. The agency calculates its LOS metric by taking the percentage of phone calls answered by IRS employees and dividing it by the number of calls routed to IRS staff. The IRS relies on this metric, as well as historical data on call volumes, to set targets for how many calls it has the capacity to answer, and to set hiring and training goals in preparation for each tax filing season.)

Their letter is here.)

TOWNHALL
— The November Jobs Numbers Are Here, and It’s Good News for American Workers. Since September the private sector has gained 121,000 jobs. Meanwhile, the government has lost 168,000 jobs. DD: Ever since I became a government employee when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had been a private sector employee, I never would have had the career successes that I had. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that career advancement in government is much easier than it is in the private sector, but nevertheless, I never earned more than $153, 151/year in today’s dollars notwithstanding the fact that I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. In my defense, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran

NEW YORK TIMES
— Johnson Rules Out House Vote to Extend Health Insurance Subsidies. DD: Are/were your healthcare insurance premiums subsidized? Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when was 18 in 1966, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my healthcare insurance premiums. They have been even more furious ever since I got married when I was 29 and the federal government started paying 72% of my wife’s healthcare insurance premiums. That 72% subsidy is a major reason why people despise/hate federal employees, federal retirees, and their spouses. That 72% subsidy helped me withstand tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors in the federal government to waste my career and to get rid of me.

None of my Democrat Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors urged me to earn job-related master’s degrees, job-related professional certifications, or a job-related professional license. In fact, they discouraged me from doing the aforesaid big time. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write about that.
