— Illinoisans are quitting jobs in record numbers – Natalie Pierre
(COMMENT: I did not quit my GAO job even though my Democrat GAO superiors 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. I did not quit my IRS job even though 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.)

— One of world’s largest investment firms will need permission to hire White men. State Street Global Advisors previously commissioned the ‘Fearless Girl Statue’ that stared down Wall Street’s ‘Charging Bull’ sculpture. – Emma Colton
(COMMENT: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. In 1997, GAO forced me to retire so that it could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.  In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.)

— A critique of critical race theory – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/a_critique_of_critical_race_theory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Does Crappy Critical Race Theory hold that as long as there is still one white person left in the country, it is systemically, structurally racist? Are CRTers saying the only way to eliminate racism is to eliminate the white race? Because that’s what it appears they are implying. And that seems as racist—systemically and structurally racist—as it is possible to be. In fact, it would effectively be genocide. So why, then, do literally millions of people of color (POC) from around the world want to come here? Why do they go to so much trouble and effort to come to this nation? Do they hate themselves? Are they all masochists who wish to be systemically oppressed? Are they all stupid? Perhaps they are all white supremacists, too, à la Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Winsome Sears, et al? It seems odd to me that CRT states that skin color must be the primary way to identify and categorize people.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— In the era of wokeness, a white male wins a discrimination case – CHRISTOPHER TREMOGLIE
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Diersen v. GAO. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrats GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) to further punish me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) to further punish me for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) to allow them to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. Previously, they had given 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 who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) 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. In my book, I would focus on RINO federal elected officials in Illinois, their staff members, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and staff members who sided with my Democrat GAO superiors.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/in-the-era-of-wokeness-a-white-male-wins-a-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a world of woke extremism, one North Carolina man stood up to the bullies and won. David Duvall, a former Novant Health executive, was awarded $10 million after being fired for discriminatory reasons, WNCT reported. Duvall is a white male and asserted he was replaced in his job for purposes of diversity, not merit. For five years, Duvall was the senior vice president for marketing and communications at Novant before he lost his job. Luke Largess, Duvall’s attorney, stated , “he was fired and replaced by two women, one a racial minority, during a Diversity and Inclusion initiative in 2018 that included explicit goals to remake the demographics of Novant’s senior leadership.” Duvall took his case to the courts, and a jury sided with him. WNCT reported that a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina’s Charlotte Division found that Duvall demonstrated “that his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male) was a motivating factor in Novant Health’s decision to terminate him.” Furthermore, the jury decided that Novant Health did not prove “that it would have made the same decision to terminate David Duvall regardless of his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male).”)

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/lydia-switzer/2021/10/27/dem-hypocrites-cnn-still-full-panic-over-gop-redistricting
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Republicans redistrict, CNN lambasts their partisanship, but when Democrats gerrymander? Radio silence. Last week, John Avlon accused Texas Republicans of crafting a “blatantly partisan, pro-white map,” while ignoring the proposed Illinois congressional map giving even more power to Democrats; the map, according to FiveThirtyEight, would add one Democratic seat and subtract two Republican seats. This would leave only 3 out of 17 House seats to Republicans (17.6% of seats), despite 40% of Illinois citizens voting for Trump in 2020.)

— A Wealth Tax. What are the pluses and minuses? – David Leonhardt
(COMMENT: The more of your income that you spend on immediate pleasures (vacations, spectator sports, fancy restaurant meals, pets, booze, gambling, pot, etc.), the less wealth that you will have.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/28/briefing/wealth-tax-spending-bill-manchin.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans pay an annual wealth tax on their largest asset. It’s called property tax. Each year, they pay an amount equal to a small percentage of the estimated value of their house, and a house is by far the most valuable item that most families own. The very rich are different. While they pay property taxes too, their homes tend to make up a tiny share of their net worth. The bulk of their assets are not taxed. In past decades, other taxes — like the corporate tax (the burden of which falls on stockholders) and the estate tax — served almost as de facto wealth taxes. But those other taxes have declined, causing the total federal tax rate on the wealthy to plummet 🙂

— Diversity is not new to America – MICHAEL BARONE
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/diversity-is-not-new-to-america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When George Washington took command of the Continental Army in 1775, he immediately noted the differences in attitudes and behavior between New England Yankees and his fellow Virginians. In Federalist No. 60, written in 1788, Alexander Hamilton wrote of the “diversity in the state of property, in the genius, manners, and habits of the people of the different parts of the Union.” The founders lived when memory was fresh of how religious wars wore apart much of Europe and the British Isles. They knew that Massachusetts was founded by Calvinists, Virginia by Anglicans, Maryland by Catholics, and Pennsylvania by Quakers. The Articles of Confederation they drew up to govern their revolution against Britain purposely gave the states maximum autonomy. The framers of the Constitution aimed to create a more powerful federal government, but with limited powers. “No religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States,” they wrote in Article VI, fully aware of religious tests in Britain and Europe.)

NEW JERSEY 101.5
— NEW JERSEY IS OPENLY ENGAGING IN SYSTEMIC RACISM – Dennis Malloy
https://nj1015.com/new-jersey-is-openly-engaging-in-systemic-racism-opinion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The term “systemic racism” has been tossed around a lot, especially in the last few years. Most of it is just hyperbolic, overheated rhetoric used by some to gain more power or political advantage. No evidence seems to exist in the way the term is being used by many, other than affirmative action, where race is used for preferential treatment in education and employment. Now the state of New Jersey is doubling down and promoting a more aggressive and blatant form of racism. At least one state agency has told its members not to participate as a speaker in any conference that is being given by only white males. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority put out this statement in response to our newsroom. “Under most circumstances, NJEDA staff should not participate when the panel/speakers are wholly comprised of white males. If staff are asked to participate in such a panel, they should inform the requester of NJEDA’s policy and, if appropriate, may suggest additional, diverse speakers.” Of course, that kind of directive would not be acceptable directed toward any other group. But the answer to racial prejudice or unfair treatment is not more of the same poison. It’s doubtful that if a panel happens to be composed of white males that other people from other groups were excluded for their race or gender. But this kind of policy supposes so, and therefore engages in racial animus and promotes division and resentment among people, who should have one purpose in mind: to get the job done well.)

AMERICAN LAWYER
— Law Firms Are Willing to Pay for More Diverse Lateral Candidates, Raising Questions for Recruiters – Patrick Smith
(COMMENT: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $97,395) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $77,034/year) to transfer from IRS. If I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female, GAO would have given me a promotion to GS-13 (currently $102,188/year) to transfer. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels (currently $85,935-$97,395/year). I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Justice Michael Burke announced his candidacy for the Illinois Supreme Court’s vacant 3rd District seat this morning, accompanied by DuPage County public officials Former Supreme Court Justice Bob Thomas, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, and DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin endorsing his candidacy. The 50+ attendees at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton included Janice Anderson, Louis Aranda, Joe Birkett, Niki Conforti, Dan Cronin, John Dabrowski, Pete DiCianni, Tim Elloitt, Daniel Guerin, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Bill Hogan, Chris Kachiroubas, James McCluskey, John Millner, Kenneth Popejoy, Nicole Prater, Donald Puchalski, Dennis Reboletti, Mike Reidy, Kenton Skarin, Rick Veenstra, Ann Celine Walsh, Deanna Wilkins, and Jim Zay. The campaign website is at https://www.justicemikeburke.com/ Endorsements are at https://www.justicemikeburke.com/endorsements – Dave Diersen
http://gopillinopis.com
(FROM THE BURKE CAMPAIGN: Justice Burke released the following statement accompanying his announcement: “It is an immense honor to be able to run for the highest court in our state. I’ve been honored to serve in the criminal justice system for my whole life, as a prosecutor and as a judge at all levels of our state’s judiciary. I am humbly asking for your vote to continue my service to our state.” Justice Burke was accompanied by other public officials who have endorsed his candidacy. Quotes from leaders who stood with Justice Burke today: Former Supreme Court Justice Bob Thomas: “The Supreme Court was wise to appoint Justice Burke to Illinois’s highest court, and voters will be wise to elect him in the 3rd District. Justice Burke has represented the seat I once held with honor and integrity, and his commitment to justice is total. I’m proud to endorse his candidacy for the 3rd District seat.” DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick: “Justice Burke has spent his entire career in public service, and his record on law enforcement is impeccable. He has consistently sought justice as a prosecutor and a judge, and he will continue to do so on the Supreme Court.” DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin: “When electing a Supreme Court Justice, it’s important that we have someone who is independent, honest and committed to justice. No one embodies that more than Justice Michael Burke. He will represent the 3rd District with all of those values every day as our Supreme Court Justice.)

— Justice Michael Burke announces Ill. Sup. Ct. run – Rick Koshko
https://1430wcmy.com/2021/09/27/justice-michael-burke-announces-ill-sup-ct-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Supreme Court Justice Michael Burke is running for election as a Republican. He’s serving from the current 2nd Judicial District. A new district map will be in effect when the next term starts, so if he’s elected Burke will be in the newly drawn 3rd District that covers LaSalle, Bureau, and Grundy counties plus DuPage County where he’s from. Burke joined the state’s highest court last year when Robert Thomas retired. He announced his candidacy today, just three days after Gov. Pritzker signed the bill into law to create the new legislative and judicial districts that’ll be in effect for the 2022 elections. It’s the first redraw of the Illinois judicial districts in nearly 60 years. According to the 72-year old Burke’s campaign web site, people endorsing him for election include St. Sen. Sue Rezin, Illinois House members Tom Demmer and David Welter, former LaSalle County Sheriff Tom Templeton, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, and former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan. If he wins the 2022 elections, Burke would have a ten-year term toward the end of which he would be up for a retention vote if he wants to keep the job. The ballots in 2032 would ask voters if he should remain a Supreme Court Justice. But the 2022 ballots will ask voters to choose from Burke and other candidates if others run. Justice Michael Burke is not related to Ill. Sup. Ct. Chief Justice Anne Burke.)

— With Application Deadline Approaching, Duckworth Seeks Additional Student Applications For U.S. Military Service Academies
(DIERSEN: Were you an outstanding Illinois student? I was not. I just barely made it into the top 20% of my high school class in 1966. My ACT score  was only 24. Further, a) my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, b) I had partial red/green color blindness, and c) I could not run because I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease ). Further, I did not demonstrate leadership ability. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; and collected delinquent taxes for IRS 1971-1980.)
https://www.riverbender.com/articles/details/with-application-deadline-approaching-duckworth-seeks-additional-student-applications-for-us-military-service-academies-53303.cfm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Each year Duckworth, with the assistance of a nomination committee, selects from the applicants a group of outstanding Illinois students to receive Congressional nominations to attend West Point, the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, or the Merchant Marine Academy. “It takes a special kind of young person to succeed at a U.S. Military Service Academy,” said Duckworth. “The rigorous nomination process demands outstanding test scores, a high GPA, and a commitment to community service. I encourage all interested Illinois students to apply for a nomination, and I applaud their desire to serve our country.” Service academies allow young people to serve their country while receiving a full four-year scholarship. Upon acceptance of an appointment into an Academy, a student commits to five years of active duty service after graduation. U.S. citizens between the ages of 17 and 23 may receive appointments from one of the four service academies. In order to be considered, a student must get a formal nomination from their Member of Congress, Senator, or the Vice President.)

— APRIL 28, 2021 FLASHBACK: FROM THE ARTICLE: Most significantly, two landmark court cases — Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois and Shakman v. the Democratic Organization of Cook County — ended political patronage as we knew it.
(COMMENT: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in patronage and political affiliation discrimination.)

(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. But ever-increasingly, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, the more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that a candidate supports, the less help that candidate gets from the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving.)

(COMMENT: Did you apply for college aid? I did not. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that my parents were filthy rich. But neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, 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. My mother never attended high school. If my parents were filthy rich, why did I do yard work and deliver newspapers 1962-1964; wash dishes 1964-1966; clean golf shoes, chip slag, and pump gasoline in 1966; deliver mail 1966-1969; and work on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970?)

— Path to increasing minority homeownership goes through Fannie and Freddie – Zach Wichter
(COMMENT: What put you on the path to homeownership? I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. The down payment came from what I earned a) working for IRS full-time for the previous 15 months, first in Chicago, and then in Harvey and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time for the previous 18 months and full-time for the 7 months before that. That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)

— Unfair retirement cuts – James Glover, President, Chapter 1309
(COMMENT: I am one of those 99,640. My Social Security is $365 less each month because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension. I paid Social Security taxes while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210902/unfair-retirement-cuts
(FROM THE LETTER: I am a retired federal employee who loses $500 per month from my earned Social Security benefit. In 1984, Congress unfairly reduced public employee SSA pensions by two-thirds of the benefit earned and promised for no reason other than to save SSA money. No other category of pensions was reduced. We urge Congress to pass HR 82 and S1302 to remedy this unjust treatment. This unfair law adversely affects 99,640 citizens in Illinois and needs to be repealed so we can get the same benefits earned like everyone else.)
