— FEBRUARY 23, 2015 FLASHBACK: My family served, Giuliani did not. Talk is cheap when questioning Obama’s patriotism. What about Giuliani’s draft deferments? – DeWayne Wickham
(COMMENT: Because Biden is a Democrat, no one uses his avoiding the draft against him. My biggest mistake in life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1971 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997.)

— 3 Times It Pays to Take a Pay Cut – Maurie Backman
(COMMENT: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a 21% percent pay cut ($20,361/year in today’s dollars) to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me. They had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They had ignored/dismissed/condemned the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, a) GAO would not have forced me to take a pay cut to transfer and b) IRS would not have taken the adverse actions against that it did.)

— In TV shows and films today, journalists are bad news – Don Aucoin
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have slandered me the most since 2000 for what I have done as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/10/21/arts/how-tv-shows-films-portray-journalists-today-is-bad-news/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: To many conservatives, the mainstream media are essentially an arm of the Democratic Party. To many progressives (who see Fox News as an arm of the GOP), reporters adhere to a misguided notion of “objectivity” whose on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand approach often obscures the truth about issues. So the news business is leaking support from both sides of the vessel, as it were. There’s no way to know how much any of that factors into the findings of a new Gallup poll on media credibility, but the numbers are dispiriting for anyone who understands that journalism is vital to the functioning of democracy. Gallup found that Americans’ trust in the media to “report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to 36 percent, the second-lowest on record. Breaking down that number, only 7 percent of respondents told Gallup they have “a great deal” of faith in the reporting done by newspapers, TV, and radio. The other 29 percent said they have “a fair amount” of trust.)

(COMMENT: My critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican want them to be your ONE AND ONLY SOURCE for government and political news and commentary.

(COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I frustrated their efforts to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, moderate, liberal, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.
