— Democrat and RINO leaders want Pritzker to win in 2026. Failing that, they want an anti-Trump Republican candidate to win who is Democrat plant, Democrat Lite, RINO, if not anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican who rejects the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform.

— Chicago-area residents celebrate Labor Day 2025 with parades. I have always been big on parades. I attended Bob Doles’ rally after he walked in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade in 1996. SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/05/us/for-dole-upbeat-crowd-on-a-spirited-day.html At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I encouraged George Ryan to encourage Bush/Cheney to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. But my attending the Bush/Cheney rally before Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day Parade and my walking in that parade really got me going. SEE: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2000/09/05/no-ordinary-fling-in-naperville/ I ever-increasingly encouraged Republican candidates to walk in Wheaton Independence Day Parades. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day Parades from 2005 until my critics/opponents ended that in 2021.

I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. My critics/opponents have always used my taking the aforesaid jobs against me. They make it clear that they would never had stooped to take the aforesaid jobs. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my taking the aforesaid jobs proves that I am a loser. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)

— Trump touts ‘worker-first’ economy. I was a worker 1962-1997. My critics/opponents look down on if not despise workers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that workers cause their own problems. In my defense, while I was a worker, 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. Because of that, in today’s dollars, my salary increased from $19.37/hour in 1966 to $153,151/year in 1997.

My Democrat GAO superiors were furious about that and took their anger against Gingrich out on me. I should write about that.

BOSTON GLOBE
— My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I was a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I improperly benefitted from being a union member during that time, that is, that if I had not been a union member, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Pritzker Net Worth: How The Illinois Governor Became America’s Richest Politician
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jay Robert ‘JB’ Pritzker, the current governor of Illinois, holds the title of the richest elected official in the United States. Pritzker has an estimated net worth of $3.6 billion, according to Forbes, and comes from one of America’s most prominent billionaire families, the heirs to the Hyatt Hotels empire. A Democrat, Pritzker was elected governor in 2018 after defeating Republican incumbent Bruce Rauner. Before entering politics, he co-managed the Pritzker Group, a private equity firm, alongside his brother Anthony until stepping away in March 2017. Pritzker’s wealth primarily stems from the vast fortune amassed by his family. His uncle Jay Pritzker founded the Hyatt Hotels chain, while his father, Donald Pritzker, played a key role in developing and expanding the brand before he died in 1972. His sister, Penny Pritzker, is also a billionaire and served as US Secretary of Commerce under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017.)

— Bill Gates’ answer to ‘compulsory’ interview question: What are your salary expectations for this job. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my having to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 and that they were going to get rid of me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers and my education deductions. They had ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. The GAO Chicago office Staff Manager (Bill) who had arranged my transfer assured me that GAO would a) immediately assign me to audits of IRS, b) rapidly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and b) rapidly promote me to GS-13. But almost immediately after I transferred, his GAO Chicago office superiors replaced him with a new Staff Manager (Dave) who openly despised me if not hated me. He gave me bad job assignments. He gave me unfair performance expectations and performance appraisals. He kept me off audits of IRS. He delayed my promotions back to GS-12 Step 5. He ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981. But then, in 1985, he went on extended sick leave. That allowed Bill to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. But then, in 1987, Dave came back. Dave forced Bill to retire in 1987. He threw me off audits of IRS in 1988. He gave me an extremely bad job assignment and unfair performance expectations and performance appraisal. He ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. I should write about the aforesaid. Dave would not have been able to take the aforesaid adverse actions against me that he did if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. If GAO had been unionized, Dave would not have been able to take the adverse actions against me that he did. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.

While I was a high school student, I did yard work during my first 2 years, I delivered newspapers during all 4 years, and I washed dishes during my last 2 years. My critics/opponents have always used my high school jobs against me to paint me as being a loser. I should write about my critics/opponents.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nehemiah Narvaez, a senior at Simeon Career Academy in Chatham, is already learning how to run his own business while practicing his barber skills. “It’s been a dream,” Narvaez said. “I see what it can bring. It brings a lot of connections, a lot of opportunities. It’s like everybody gets a chance.” Narvaez, 17, of Englewood, is just one of many students enrolled in the Career & Technical Education program, a Chicago Public Schools initiative that provides students with career-focused experiential learning programs. On Thursday, Chance the Rapper visited the South Side high school to announce that his nonprofit, SocialWorks, would give $100,000 in grants to five Chicago schools to support career-focused programs over the next three years, which will include Simeon Career Academy’s barber and cosmetology program.)

All that my Democrat GAO superiors could use to justify their forcing me to retire was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance. They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. All that my Democrat IRS superiors could use to justify their never promoting me beyond GS-12 was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my travel vouchers and my education deductions. All that my Democrat Post Office superiors could use to justify their forcing me to resign was the adverse actions that they had taken against me. They had disallowed my sick leave requests. They falsely claimed that I was not available to work enough part-time hours.

— Trump has fired another official without giving a reason. GAO works for Congress. Officially, my Democrat GAO superiors gave no reason why they forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. However, they hinted/implied that they forced me to retire because that was what Congress wanted them to do. They also hinted/implied it was a) because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, c) because they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, d) because they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) because they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and e) because they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250826/news/dupage-county-will-spend-up-to-147k-to-retain-springfield-lobbyists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

Republican Gingrich’s dramatic gutting of GAO while I worked for GAO 1980-1997 not only demoralized and devastated GAO employees, it made Democrat GAO employees hate Republican GAO employees.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Democrat plants and RINOs become Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) and become leaders of Republican township, county, and state party organizations to get the Republican Party to strike its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform, that is, to destroy the Republican Party. These Democrat plants and RINOs focus on driving platform Republicans like me out of the party. I should write about them and the adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 1999. In 2000, they got one of their own to run against me for RPC. In 2004, they rudely fired me as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and rudely defeated me 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRO Treasurer. In 2006, they almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2007, they got ICRC to rudely throw me off its Steering Committee. In 2010, they again rudely fired me as MTRO webmaster. In 2012, they got TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois to rudely end my chairmanship. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021, they rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.

REAL CLEAR WIRE
— The Democrats’ hackneyed falsehood that Republican gerrymandering in Texas is racist and will end American democracy is not only hysterical – it’s hypocritical. While gerrymandering is ethically impaired, it has been part of U.S. politics for more than 200 years, and a mainstay of Democratic Party election strategy since the 1980s. When redistricting is designed to favor one group over another, it is referred to as gerrymandering. Prior to the 1960s, court challenges to congressional redistricting plans were generally considered to be political questions outside judicial purview. In 1962, however, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could ensure compliance with the constitutional requirement of “one person, one vote” when Tennessee created districts with population variances as large as ten-to-one. Courts also hear challenges to redistricting plans based on claims of racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and until recently, also claims that a gerrymander was intended to benefit a particular candidate, ideology or party. . .The congressional map drawn by Illinois Democrats after the 2020 census transformed its congressional delegation from 13 Democrats and 5 Republicans to 14 Democrats and just 3 Republicans – in a state where Donald Trump won 44% of the 2024 vote. The respected Gerrymandering Project at Princeton University gave Illinois an “F” for its partisan gerrymander.

— AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers. What impacted entry-level jobs when you were in your 20s? For me, it was the Vietnam War draft. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I did not get offers for jobs that required a college degree until after my application was approved and because of my draft number, I was no longer subject to the draft. By then, my career was already behind schedule. To try to catch up, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, b) I passed the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, and c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then, it was too late. The federal government uses up-or-out to rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13, currently $117,807/year, by age 25. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38.
