DAILY HERALD
— University of Illinois settles federal civil rights complaint (COMMENT: When I was 22 years old 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. Because I had accepted that job offer, my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me. Because I had to have a job to help support my mother and brother, I accepted a job offer from the Democrats who ran IRS. They offered me a job because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. They had given weight to the fact that I had been a union member for almost 3 years while I worked my way through college.)

It is called religious discrimination. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— After saying goodbye to kids heading off to college, Chicago-area parents look forward to their next chapter (COMMENT: My outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 so that I could keep my part-time Park Forest Post Office job, and the summer of 1969. My father died suddenly in October of 1969.)

WTTW & CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. Pot is poison. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, everyone around you will be pot users who will crash and burn. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

They all complained about the high cost of raising children. They all punished me for my wife and I for our not trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)

— ‘Horrific, heinous and inexplicable’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/09/04/horrific-heinous-and-inexplicable-00177278
(FROM THE ARTICLE: SHOCKING DETAILS have emerged about how four people were killed while sleeping on a Blue Line train in the early morning hours of the Labor Day holiday. Heading to court: A man identified as Rhanni S. Davis will appear before a judge today on charges he murdered four train passengers in what Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told reporters was a “horrific, heinous and inexplicable” act of violence. It’s seldom we write about crime at the top of Illinois Playbook, a newsletter you’ve come to recognize for its focus on government and politics. But this isn’t just any crime. It’s senseless. Authorities say no one was robbed. And there appear to have been no arguments leading up to it.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Up-or-out (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used up-or-out against me the most. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($180,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I never made GS-14. However, I did make GS-13 Step 10 ($150,075) when I was 49 in 1997. I would focus on my critics/opponents in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who did not earn the aforesaid salaries by the aforesaid ages.)

I might still be worked for the postal service if my Democrat superiors had not forced me to resign in 1969 by falsely claiming that I was not available to work enough hours.

Further, they were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire/retain/promote Democrat minorities, females, and veterans.

I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. My superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Because I was none of the aforesaid, my superiors wasted my career, forced me to retire in 1997, and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who was a CPA. However, he had far less work experience than I had. He had far less education than I had. He had only one professional certification while I had six. He was not a licensed CPA.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senate Minority Leader John Curran, R-Downers Grove, said Republicans are in a growth phase with a big tent. “Voters are moving towards us,” Curran told The Center Square. “They have had enough of the constant corruption in Cook County and the city of Chicago all run by Democrats.” Frederick Walls, a Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, said the state Republican party needs to put in resources to advertise for his and other Republican races in Democratic districts. “In 2022, I ran, and I was knocking on doors that where they had already mailed in their ballot because they didn’t know … me, but I could only reach so many houses walking door to door,” Walls told The Center Square. Curran said outreach and support to such candidates is a work in progress. “The city of Chicago, Cook County, this is an area where we are growing more of a presence, we need to, that work is ongoing right now,” Curran said. The Democratic Party of Illinois has $1.4 million cash on hand after Gov. J.B. Pritzker donated half a million earlier this month. The Illinois Republican Party has $745,000. Early voting for the Nov. 5 election begins Sept. 26.)

— The Democrat Party succeeds because its leaders defend and advance its platform. The Republican Party fails because far too many of its leaders fail/refuse to defend and advance far too many planks in its platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about those leaders of the following who have failed/refused to defend and advance the most planks since 2000: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

In his scathing 277-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta noted that Google has an 89.2 percent share of the overall search market and a 94.9 percent share of searches conducted on mobile devices. Fixing the problem is trickier. Next month, the judge will start deliberations on how to fix an industry that is so thoroughly dominated by one player. It is not going to be easy to jump-start competition in a market where Google has spent decades and billions of dollars quashing rivals.)

— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blagojevich — backed by his influential father-in-law, 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell — later ran for governor as a reformer, looking to succeed Republican Gov. George Ryan, who went to federal prison for corruption. In that case, underlings from Ryan’s tenure as secretary of state were found to have sold driver’s licenses for bribes, with some of that money being funneled into Ryan’s campaign fund. The fund became the first in American history to be indicted for racketeering.)

— Is Illinois a swing state this year? When it comes to presidential elections, Illinois has voted Democratic in the eight elections since 1988. However, in 1988 and the five presidential elections prior, Illinois voted Republican. (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government and they discriminate against their employees who are Republican. Starting in 1992 with Clinton’s election, because I was one of their extremely few employees who were Republican, my Democrat Chicago GAO superiors took even more adverse actions against me. Of course, they did not promote me. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) my earning job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They ever-increasingly treated me like I had not done any of the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

The Illinois Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that tossed out a law barring political parties from choosing candidates for the General Assembly when they had no one run in a primary election.” (COMMENT: Would Republican organizations slate you to run for an office? Because I am much “too conservative” for the leaders of Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, they would never slate me to run for an office.)

— Democrats say they “once strove to ‘go high’ against Trump. Not anymore. This year’s convention culminated recent efforts to needle Trump on topics known to strike a nerve in the former president, with some Democrats saying they are tired of being polite.”

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— ‘I Cannot Understand Putin’s Hold on Trump’ Like his predecessors George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Trump was overconfident in his ability to improve relations with the dictator in the Kremlin. In an exclusive excerpt from his new memoir, H.R. McMaster details the clashes over Russia that led President Trump to fire him as national security adviser.

NAPOLITAN INSTITUTE
— The majority of respondents in a poll published Friday said they believe a large amount of people who are in the country illegally will actually vote in November’s general election. The poll, conducted by the Napolitan News Service, found that 54% of respondents said they believe illegal immigrants will vote in November, and 75% of respondents said they do not support allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections. An even larger percentage of the survey takers (87%) support requiring voter ID in order to vote in federal elections, according to the poll.

They took many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that.)

(FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES ARTICLE: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — also is scheduled to address the DNC this week.)
USA TODAY
— American patriots put America’s national interests ahead of the interests of those who share their demographics, that is, they put America’s national interests ahead of those who share their political affiliation, race, gender, sexual orientation, age group, religion, national origin, length of time their ancestors have been in America, financial status, etc. But Democrats and RINOs put the interests of those who share their demographics ahead of America’s national interests, that is, they put the interests for those who are the following ahead of everything: Democrat, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have less money than others, are in America illegally, etc.

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1973 in today’s dollars. Since then, I earned three job -related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981). If my Democrat superiors had not wasted my career and had not forced me to retire early, my CSRS pension would be $153,600/year.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES
DAILY HERALD
— The way out of the circus on display in Chicago – Kathy Salvi
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240820/columns/the-way-out-of-the-circus-on-display-in-chicago/
(FROM THE LETTER: Well, here we go: the circus is in town. No, I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey — at least they’re entertaining — but rather the Democratic National Convention. This week we will be force fed speeches from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and endure the woke primping and preening spewed from the Democrat mouthpieces on stage. Chicago is a fitting city for the Democrats to hold their convention: it is a great city in slow decay due to backward leftist and authoritarian policies. Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. Cost of living is sky high because Illinois is among the most-taxed states in the nation. All of these problems are due to blue rule, and they will be on full display for everyone visiting Chicago for the circus. The Democrats have had a tough act to follow this year. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a sight to see and an emotional event in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It was a display of unity that has been downplayed by the media across the country, and Republicans are united behind our ticket up and down the ballot. And I should mention — our top of the ticket candidate was actually voted for by the members of our party. We call that “democracy.” Conversely, the Democrats’ convention will be one filled with what we’ve come to expect from Democrats here in Illinois: false promises, gaslighting and manufactured hype behind a candidate who won’t do interviews. We’re seeing the Democrat propaganda machine whirring in full force propping up Kamala Harris after she unceremoniously ousted her boss from his candidacy without a single vote from the people. Anywhere else, that’s called a coup. Kamala Harris has yet to give an interview since being installed without a single Democrat vote. She chose a radical leftist VP who misrepresented his record. Stolen valor. Ask his own chaplain. The only candidate worse than Walz — and even Harris rejected the idea — would have been Illinois’ own failed governor, J.B. Pritzker. Sadly, we have not heard about any of the real issues and how Democrats will attempt to fix them. They have not talked about fixing the open southern border that has festered under Kamala Harris’ watch. The Democrats won’t touch the high cost of living imposed on people in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the country. They won’t give any concrete or real solution to the crime plaguing communities across the country or the corruption within their own Democratic Party from the United States Senate to Dolton, Illinois. Truth be told, there is a silver lining to the Democratic National Convention being in town here. Voters are seeing that there is no real plan coming from the Democrats. There are no real policies they’re running on. Americans are choking on their progressive nightmare, and the Democrats keep doubling down. Make no mistake, we here in Illinois are hurting. Workers are hurting. Families are hurting. Children are hurting, small businesses are hurting. No matter your political persuasion. We are one big hurt under the supermajority, Democrat domination in Illinois. And what has it delivered? A flight from Illinois, an unbearable tax burden on ordinary people, an unsustainable pension crisis, crime-ridden neighborhoods, unaffordable food & gas prices. All of this brought to us by the Illinois Democratic Party. Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the two U.S. Senate seats, 14 out of 17 congressional seats and a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate as well as the mayor’s office here in Chicago. Their only use for the Republican Party is to ridicule its sound policies and trigger hatred in those from whom they seek money to pursue even more power. We Republicans are scrappy and will fight, fight, fight our battle at the ballot box. In an analysis of those cities in Illinois run by Republican mayors here in Illinois, the air is fresher and the people happier. As I pen this commentary, most families, workers and small businesses in Illinois are awakening to host of problems brought on by the mistakes of our political leaders, mistakes that have increased our tax burden, dumbed down our public educational institutions and made our streets unsafe in which to travel. During the rest of the Democratic National Convention, open your ears to the truth and ask yourself: does the carnivalesque display I am watching reflect the America that I know and love? Illinois, there is a way out of this nightmare: wake up — Vote Republican.)

I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because we did not have children. They knew full-well that both of us had serious fertility problems. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. I would focus on my GAO superiors who adopted, whose spouse had little or no income, who complained about the tremendous amount of time and money it costs to raise children. I would focus on my GAO superiors who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that I lied about our efforts to have children and that if my wife and I had children, I never would have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.

— Democrats say “Duckworth at DNC gets personal about IVF journey.” I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who had children and who used against me the most a) that my and my wife gave up trying to have children with trying IVF and b) that we did not adopt or become foster parents. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because we did not have children. They knew full-well that both of us had serious fertility problems. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. I would focus on my GAO superiors who adopted, whose spouse had little or no income, who complained about the tremendous amount of time and money it costs to raise children. I would focus on my GAO superiors who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that that I lied about our efforts to have children and that if my wife and I had children, I never would have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.

— Democrats say “Michelle Obama, Thrashing Trump, Suggests the Presidency Is a ‘Black Job.’ The former first lady enthralled a packed arena on Tuesday evening with one of the Democratic National Convention’s most emphatic takedowns of Donald J. Trump.” I should write a book that compares and contrasts Michelle Obama with me. I would compare and contrast the opportunities that she has had with the opportunities that I have had. I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. All my coworkers who my IRS and then GAO superiors promoted over me where Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)
