— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) stressed that none of my classmates were minorities and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my graduating from Crete-Monee High School in 1966 gave me extreme unfair advantages in life. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on how much education and money their parents had/have. I would focus on the high school they graduated from. I would focus on the demographics of their classmates. I would focus on their class rank. I would focus on their ACT/SAT score. I would focus on their success in life relative to their classmates.)

For how much money will they work? Beyond overwhelmingly, unfilled jobs are bad jobs. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. Employers want cheap labor.

With the money that I earned washing dishes part-time, I was able to buy a new car in 1966 when I was 17 years old. With the money that I earned delivering mail part-time, I was able to pay for my colleges expenses 1966-1970 and buy new cars in 1967 and 1968.)

The Veterans Preference Act entitles preference to veterans for jobs in the federal government.” While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency shank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. But its many employees who were veterans were specifically protected from suffering any adverse impact from that.)

Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One horrific example comes from Urbana, where just 3.5 percent of Black students are grade proficient in reading and 1.1 percent of Black students are proficient in mathematics. At the same time, 7.2 percent of Hispanic students are proficient in reading and 3.9 percent are proficient in mathematics. White and Asian students in Urbana scored at a higher level, but are nothing to brag about. Far more than half the students in both groups failed to show grade proficiency in both reading and math. Just 23.8 percent of White students and 26.5 percent of Asian students achieved at grade level in reading. In math, only 21.5 percent of White students and 31.6 percent of Asian students are grade proficient.)

Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

For how much money will they work? Beyond overwhelmingly, unfilled jobs are bad jobs. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.)

— Reasons To Consider Hiring Veterans In A Tight Labor Market – Michael Timmes (COMMENT: The biggest mistake that I made in life was avoiding the Vietnam War draft. While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2023-11-09/adam-kinzingers-new-book-chock-full-of-mclean-county-cameos
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kinzinger’s book begins — literally the Introduction — with his characterization of U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood as a “former moderate” who “raced to the unreasonable Right” and tied himself to “the most unethical and least transparent president in history.” LaHood still represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, and his father, Ray LaHood, was a famously moderate Republican figure. “Darin LaHood is your quintessential average Republican congressman. And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)

— Calls for Joe Biden not to run raise an age-old question we all face eventually – Clarence Page (COMMENT: How old were you when you got your last promotion? For me, it was late 1986, when I was 38 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that I applied for that promotion to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, and they were more furious with the GAO manager who promoted me. He had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and he had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in early 1986. They were so furious that they forced him to retire in 1987. They threatened to punish me severely if I ever applied for a promotion again. That prompted me to become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in late 1988. Because of that, they threw me off audits of IRS and gave me a very bad job assignment, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal in 1989. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint my CSRS pension as being an “entitlement.” In my defense, a) I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS and b) my CSRS pension is dramatically less because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and less than what my salary was in in 1972.)

I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my wife had worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions for almost 8 years. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $101,507/year.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After Pritzker signed the ban into law, many promised to not comply including his former gubernatorial challenger turned Illinois Congressional District 12 candidate Darren Bailey. Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Thursday that hundreds of thousands will not abide by the registry order. “It’s up to the governor and the legislature to truly decide if they are prepared to declare war on law-abiding gun owners or not,” he said during the meeting. If that holds true, gun owners would be subject to Class A misdemeanor upon the first offense and Class 3 felony for the second and subsequent offenses per the bill. A Class 3 felony could land those found in violation with up to 10 years in prison.)

I should write about those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the individual 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.

— House Passes Israel Aid Bill Funded by IRS Cuts – Arjun Singh (COMMENT: If I was still working for IRS, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would kill me. Democrats run IRS. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who they hired. They offered me a job because I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I accepted IRS’s job offer a) because Firestone Stores had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile subsequently withdrew saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, b) because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had died in 1969, and c) because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years and I would get all my seniority and sick leave reinstated. To get rid of me, because I refused to become a Democrat and because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

My many Jewish superiors and supervisors in the federal government who took many big adverse actions against me were not just liberal, they were anti-conservative and anti-Republican.)

— Antisemitism is on the rise across America–and it’s creeping into the workplace. – JONATHAN A. GREENBLATT AND CLARA HESS (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO’s Chicago office for almost 18 years 1980-1997, at least one of my superiors was always Jewish and often two. During my last 12 years, all of my superiors were Jewish. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed to them that I was conservative, Republican, Lutheran, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. During those 18 years they took many adverse actions against me. They a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, b) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and evaluations. c) assigned me to work for, work with, and supervise their most problematic employees, d) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years, f) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, g) always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and h) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In my defense, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

SALES RECRUITER CHICAGO
— Career Advice for Those Starting Late in Life (COMMENT: Did you get a late start in life? I certainly did. I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. I should have earned a master’s degree in accounting much sooner. I should have passed the CPA examination and become a licensed CPA much sooner. When I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31, all my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to me that I was much too old to have a successful GAO career.)

I should write about how the following treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and why: a) leaders of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen

November 3, 2023

Democrat and RINO elected officials ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. Sooner or later, illegal immigration will harm everyone in America big time. The lower that your income is, the sooner and more that you will be harmed. Illegal immigration will not slow down, let alone stop, until voters elect Republicans, that is, elect candidates who support the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform and will require E-Verify for all employment.

https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/democrats-quiet-campaign-succeed-biden-2024-president-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and California Rep. Ro Khanna have traveled to New Hampshire in recent months — and Khanna returned this week to debate GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. . .Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pritzker all recently launched national political groups — “Fight Like Hell PAC,” “Campaign for Democracy,” and “Think Big America,” respectively. Newsom’s group has focused on gun safety while Whitmer and Pritzker’s groups have honed in on abortion rights. . .In October, Pritzker, 58, launched Think Big America, a group that’s using his wealth to fund abortion rights ballot measures across the country. Pritzker, a billionaire businessman, personally gave $750,000 and Think Big America gave $250,000 to support Ohio’s Issue 1 amendment, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and is on the ballot in next week’s election. Think Big America also donated $1 million to Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which is behind an abortion-rights ballot measure, a Think Big spokesperson told Axios. Pritzker also landed the Democratic convention for Chicago; he and his allies are raising money for it.)

— Trump’s relationship with far-right groups under scrutiny during ‘insurrection’ trial in Colorado (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) were far-right groups. In 2012, they succeeded in ending my TAPROOT chairmanship and in destroying TAPROOT. In 2007, they succeeded in ending my ICRC Steering Committee membership and in destroying ICRC. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

DES MOINES REGISTER
— Test politicians, and surgeons, for competency. That’s better than age limits. A law requiring mandatory physical and mental testing of the president and members of Congress past a certain age would not be age discrimination, per se. – Greg Ganske (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans. Up-or-out is age discrimination per se. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be promoted to GS-13. However, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, f) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and g) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. While my Democrat GAO superiors did promote me to GS-13 in 1986, they nevertheless forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I had not made GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, or Senior Executive Service by age 40. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors enforced up-or-out only for their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 1995, I sat in the House of Representatives listening to 70-year-old Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican, give a remarkable speech against term limits. Hyde, a giant of a man at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, with a shock of white hair, still moved with grace from his Georgetown basketball days. In the 1943 NCAA semifinals, he outplayed DePaul’s 6-foot-10 All-American George Mikan. Hyde argued that multiple terms help elected officials gain institutional knowledge and build relationships needed to be effective in passing legislation. The C-SPAN cameras caught me listening on the floor of the House with a bemused look when he said, “When the dentist bends down over you with the drill whirring, don’t you hope he has done that before? When the neurosurgeon has shaved your head and made the pencil mark on your skull where they’re going to have the incision and he approaches with the electric saw, ask him one question: ‘Are you a careerist?’” Laughter filled the chamber. . .Henry Hyde would say, “just vote the mentally incompetent out!” But this is easier said than done as evidenced by aged politicians who get reelected time and again in safe districts or heavily red or blue states. The voters should at least know if elderly candidates have passed minimal physical and mental competency tests. Hyde died of complications from open heart surgery at the age of 81. His surgeon was probably one of the best, but I wonder if, as his heart surgeon approached with the scalpel, he would have been better served by asking, “Have you passed your competency tests?” instead of, “Are you a careerist?”)

I should write a book about that.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Adam Kinzinger Shares The Only Reason Why He Still Considers Himself A Republican. “I’m not going to give up that title,” the former Illinois lawmaker told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. – Josephine Harvey (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. In your precinct, in your municipality, in your township, and in your county, how many cast Republican ballots in primary elections, but then vote for Democrats in general elections? I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who run as Republicans for political and government offices in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to defeat conservatives. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he still considers himself a Republican, but only because “I don’t want to give up on that fight.” He told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, “This country needs two healthy parties: a healthy Democratic party and a healthy Republican. So I’m not going to give up that title.” He said he had voted Democratic in the 2022 midterms and would do the same in 2024 if it’s a Donald Trump-Joe Biden matchup. “I really believe it’s down to one issue on the ballot,” he said. “Not taxes, not even abortion, nothing. The one issue is: Do you believe in democracy, or do you believe in authoritarianism?” Kinzinger told the Washington Post last year that he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but he felt “dirty” doing it, and “it’s not something I can square away in my soul fully.” Kinzinger was one of the most prominent critics of the former president in the House Republican conference before he retired from Congress earlier this year. He was one of two Republicans who served on the Jan. 6 committee, and one of ten who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the insurrection. “There’s little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use,” Kinzinger said in 2021 when he announced he would not run for reelection. “It has also become increasingly obvious that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide.”)
