Because of that cap, since 2017, my wife and I can no longer pay less federal income tax by itemizing. Itemizing lowered my federal income tax bill 1972-1977 and lowered my and my wife’s federal income tax bill 1978-2017. We have deducted real estate taxes since 1978, I deducted real estate taxes 1972-1977, and I deducted education expenses 1972-1981 and 1992-1997.

— Connie Chung says booze and bawdy jokes helped her break into journalism’s boys club (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I soon learned that all but one of my Chicago Office superiors were Democrats who were older, White, male, big drinkers, big smokers, and/or big spectator sports watchers and betters. Because I have always been conservative, I rejected their strong advice to join them in those activities, that is, I rejected their strong advice to join their “boys club.” Because of that, they did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They rejected my emphasis on job-related education and professionalism. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS work experience, my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They overtly rejected my efforts to recruit them to join the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. If their leader had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his very heavy drinking, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS, would never had been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote to GS-13 in 1986. But their leader came back in 1987 and forced that GAO manager to retire in 1987. He then threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an extremely bad job assignment, unfair job performance expectations, and unfair job performance appraisal. He ranked me the lowest of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. He ever-increasingly turned against me my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. His ever-increasing adverse actions against me forced me to seek help from my Congressman Henry Hyde in 1989. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought help from its union. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.)

My critics/ opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259365/pro-life-group-urges-illinois-residents-to-vote-no-on-ivf-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Right to Life, a pro-life group active in the state, has expressed opposition to the question, noting that “in vitro fertilization is detrimental to the inherent value of life.” “All children are equal in the eyes of God and one of the most beautiful vocations in life is becoming a parent. Life in all its stages is precious, including embryos. This absolutely includes children born from in vitro fertilization (IVF),” the group said in a Sept. 14 emailed statement. “However, it is important to recognize the IVF process can be harmful to new human lives, often commodifies children, and the procedure does not honor the sanctity of life.” The Catholic Church teaches that while couples struggling to have children can use certain fertility treatments, the use of IVF is “morally unacceptable.” This is because IVF involves the use of artificial means to achieve pregnancy outside of sex between a husband and wife — the marital act — a disassociation that the Church teaches is contrary to the dignity of both parents and children. In addition, to maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos during the IVF process and routinely destroy or indefinitely freeze millions of undesired embryos. “We sincerely ask and urge you to vote NO in the advisory referendum regarding in vitro fertilization on the Illinois general election ballot,” Illinois Right to Life said.)

CHALKBEAT CHICAGO
— Who attends Chicago Public Schools? Here’s an FAQ about CPS students. (COMMENT: To paint me as being a racist and even worse things, my critics/opponents have always stressed that while attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, and Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, all my classmates where White and overwhelmingly Protestant and German American. In my defense, I stress that while I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, a) many, and at times, most, of my coworkers and subordinates were Blacks and b) few, and at times, none, were Protestant or German American. Further, I stress that I worked in the south side of Chicago in 1973 and the southern suburbs 1962-1974. Further, I stress that I bought a new townhome in University Park in 1972, lived in it full-time until 1974, part-time 1974-1976, and rented it out 1976-1984. I should write about my critics/opponents who have had few interactions with Blacks, that is, a) have not worked for Blacks, worked with Blacks, or supervised Blacks like I have and/or b) have not lived near Blacks. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/09/16/cps-student-demographics-and-enrollment-faq/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The vast majority are students of color, with 47% identifying as Hispanic, 35% as Black, 11% as white, and 4.5% as Asian American. About 70% come from low-income households, 16% are students with disabilities, and 24% are learning English.

Leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party will blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct suffer. They will hint/imply/argue/shout that the candidates lost votes because I stress in my newsletters the following planks in the Republican Party platform and that by running as a Republican, they are obligated to defend/advance those planks: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving.

AMERICAN THINKER
— Illegals are drastically altering the landscape of public schools (COMMENT: How many illegals are students in your school district?)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/new_report_illegals_are_drastically_altering_the_landscape_of_public_schools.html
— No, Ohio Haitians are not legal (COMMENT: According to Democrats and to RINOs, illegals do not exist, that is, everyone who comes to America for any claimed reason is in America legally. Democrats and RINOs have destroyed America’s borders and they will soon destroy America.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/no_ohio_haitians_are_not_legal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Ohio Haitians are here under two programs, neither of which they qualify for, but of course, that has not stopped Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas. The first program being legally misused is called Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Sec. Mayorkas announced this summer a whopping 300,000 illegal Haitian illegal immigrants, no matter how they got here, can apply for TPS status because there were rains and mudslides or something back in Haiti. Hmm, tropical island and rain/mudslides — kind of goes with the territory. TPS was intended only for people here legally, whose return was delayed, if their homeland had suffered some unique disaster. Today, Democrats routinely use this law to import all manner of Third-World freeloaders. Back in 2017, Pres. Trump tried to stop this, pointing out about 400,000 illegals had been enjoying “temporary” status for an average of 20 years. The ACLU tied them up in court, then Biden reversed the order and gave up on the lawsuits. The other program Biden and Harris misuse is even worse — urgent humanitarian parole. Under this provision, people who are otherwise inadmissible may come to the United States for critical medical care, to attend a sick relative, to donate an organ, or unfortunately, for a few more vague but important reasons. Again, Mayorkas tortured the language of this statute to fly in at least 400,000 illegals the last two years, maybe more. Texas and several states are suing to stop this but the case is only in its early stages on appeal. The only way America’s illegal immigration disaster gets fixed, is if Pres. Trump wins in November. He can simply close the border and end Team Biden’s hocus-pocus to turn millions of illegals residing here into a forever limbo-status.)

— Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after apparent Trump assassination attempt (COMMENT: GAO need help. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. GAO’s mission is to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. While I worked for GAO, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives used major budget cuts to dramatically reduced GAO’s ability to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. To punish me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years that I worked for them. 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” when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my having earning three job related master’s degrees (1976,1980, and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a professional license (1981). I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Down-ballot drama. SEVEN WEEKS TO GO: The presidential candidates aren’t doing much to drive turnout in Illinois, a state they know will go blue. With that in mind, the Illinois General Assembly has passed three nonbinding ballot measures to help rev up voter interest. Otherwise, down-ballot candidates are on their own to get their messages out — and that costs money. We’ll be watching to see how much their respective parties help out in the home stretch. Here are the Illinois House races we’re watching. Financial numbers are based on the most recent quarterly reports.

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Democrat party’s unique historical opportunity
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/the_democrat_party_s_unique_historical_opportunity.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This presidential election offers a remarkable and unique historical opportunity for the Democrat party. In fact, this may be that party’s most opportune time ever to make history. The Democrat presidential candidate identifies as black, having previously identified as Southeast Asian. Becoming the first self-identified black and female president in America would be history-making. However, there is something much more history-making begging to be acknowledged recognized. In fact, it is something beyond belief—utterly inconceivable—something very few are qualified for. Kamala Harris is a rare candidate due to her genealogical background. She is the first black female candidate and second black presidential candidate descendant of a slave master (Obama was the first black descendant of a slave master.)

Because Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1980-1997, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. I was one of an extremely few Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago office. With one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense. Constructively they sided with GAO in Diersen v. GAO (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) My critics/opponents stressed to them that I did not give them any money and that I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination when they were “reaching out” to young minorities and women. They demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being much too conservative. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— What decisions did you make that limited your career? I avoided the draft. I did not become a Democrat. I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old. I worked all the part-time hours that could instead of studying. I majored in management instead of accounting. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. I became a active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. Nevertheless, I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, when I was 25, to GS-13, currently $115,439/year, when I was 38, and GS-13 Step 10, currently $150,075/year, when I was 49.

The Radical Left wants to abolish the suburbs by forcing apartment complexes and low-income housing into the suburbs right next to your beautiful house,” he said. Trump also pledged to end mortgages for illegal aliens as well as overtime pay taxes, allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4877506-laura-loomer-trump-criticism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Far-right activist Laura Loomer’s visible presence alongside former President Trump in recent days is sparking questions about her influence and a substantial amount of criticism from figures aligned with the GOP presidential nominee. Loomer is an outspoken Trump supporter who is known for spreading conspiracy theories and using racist rhetoric. She flew on Trump’s plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and was part of his entourage as he attended memorial events Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She does not have any official role with Trump’s campaign, multiple sources said. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch Trump ally, engaged in a heated and personal social media battle with Loomer over social platform X that began Wednesday night and carried into Thursday. Greene separately told reporters it would be a mistake to rely on Loomer for advice and that her rhetoric did not fit in with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters Wednesday, adding she was not privy to Trump’s conversations with Loomer. “I do know this, that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, it does not match MAGA, it does not match most Republicans I know,” Greene continued. “And I’m really denouncing it. I’m over it.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a strong ally of Trump in the Senate, on Thursday called out Loomer for racist comments about Vice President Harris, in which she used crude stereotypes to attack Harris’s Indian heritage. The remarks were also criticized by Greene. Graham said the remarks were “abhorrent” and noted Loomer also has made “disturbing” comments about Republicans. “I think that the president would serve himself well to make sure this doesn’t become a bigger story,” Graham told HuffPost. Loomer was spotted deplaning with Trump aides and family members Tuesday in Philadelphia ahead of the debate between the GOP nominee and Harris, and she was in the spin room that night. Some conservatives took note that Loomer was on the former president’s plane before the debate, during which Trump repeated a debunked claim shared by Loomer and others about migrants eating pets in an Ohio town. Loomer was again spotted with Trump’s crew when he visited a fire station in New York City to mark the anniversary of 9/11, and she posted video from his visit to Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed. When asked about Loomer’s presence at Wednesday’s events, a Trump campaign official said the day “wasn’t about anyone other than the souls who are no longer with us, their families, and the heroes who courageously stepped up to save their fellow Americans on that fateful day.” Trump attended a New York City memorial alongside President Biden and Harris that morning. Loomer was defiant Thursday as she found herself at the center of multiple articles and cable news segments. She said she does not work for Trump and claimed she was being targeted because of her work targeting politicians and media members. “I stand by everything I have said. I will not be deleting any tweets. I will not apologize for fighting for Donald Trump. I will not apologize for fighting for the truth and the American people,” Loomer posted on X. “The American people deserve people who fight instead of cowering in fear of the media,” she continued. “I don’t care about what they or any sellout member of Congress has to say about me.” This week was not the first time Trump has signaled he’s open to Loomer’s presence in his orbit. He congratulated her after she won a Florida House primary in 2020. Last year, Trump reportedly told advisers to give Loomer a campaign role for his White House bid. She ultimately did not join the campaign in any official capacity. Loomer has previously described Islam as a “cancer.” She was banned from ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft in 2017 after posting online that she “never want[s] to support another Islamic immigrant driver.” She was banned from then-Twitter after a series of anti-Muslim posts and was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform. Democrats, including the White House, blasted Loomer’s recent comments and argued Trump’s association with her should be a red flag for the American people. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday ripped Trump as a “conspiracy theory-peddling, racial arsonist and pathological liar.” He said Trump’s willingness to bring a conspiracy theorist like Loomer to a 9/11 event “should shock the conscience of all decent Americans.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Loomer’s most recent comments about Harris “repugnant” and “un-American.” “No leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness. This kind of racist poison … and who continues to fan these kinds of dangerous and insulting conspiracy theories,” she said.)

— Don’t Scrap Standardized Tests. Make Them Fairer (COMMENT: What tests have you passed? My critics/opponents have always been furious that I passed all the tests needed a) to become a licensed CPA and Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, b) to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) to get hired by GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed tests because my demographics gave me big unfair advantages. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents have/had lots of money.)

— Downstate group behind movement to break free from Cook County (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes oppose this.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_82a0406e-66f9-11ef-841c-7bc1592e9f99.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Growing unrest over the policies coming out of Cook County is spurring talk among downstate counties of breaking free and forming a new state. Illinois Separation revealed that seven counties will vote on separating from Cook County and forming a new state. Spokesman Eric Ivers, a member of the Jersey County Board, said he is confident that a vast majority of residents will vote to form a new state. “There are three or four counties downstate that voted blue, but the rest of us are tired of being pushed through the ringer by the folks up in Cook County,” said Ivers. The ballot question will read “Shall the Board of ____ County correspond with the boards of other counties of Illinois outside of Cook about the possibility of separating from Cook County to form a new state, and to seek admission to the Union as such, subject to the approval of the people?” The question is non-binding. Iroquois County will be the first county to vote on the issue that is not more southerly than Peoria, as the movement has been predominantly in the southern half of the state. The other counties putting the question on the ballot include Madison, Jersey, Clinton, Calhoun, Greene and Perry counties. Ivers said the possibility that downstate Illinois could become a new state increased recently when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed openness to next year ending the ability of minorities to block Senate legislation using a filibuster. It’s conceivable that Democrats could trade statehood for Washington D.C. or Puerto Rico in return for statehood for downstate Illinois. In 2020-2022, 26 and a half counties voted in favor of such questions, and none voted in opposition. The counties averaged 74% in favor. Constitutionally, any deal to make downstate Illinois into a state would require approval from the Illinois General Assembly.)

It’s no wonder that the public’s trust in its government has all but disappeared.”)

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/kamala-harris-mcjob-is-there-a-place-for-mcdonalds-in-her-opportunity-economy-7b6344a5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris and this columnist have little in common. But we do share one thing: We both had summer jobs at McDonald’s in college. It’s not that surprising, considering how many other people can say the same. According to McDonald’s, 1 in 8 Americans have worked at one of its restaurants. At the Democratic convention in Chicago, we further learned that Ms. Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, also worked under the Golden Arches, where he was once Employee of the Month. Ms. Harris features her stint at McDonald’s in a new campaign ad. It’s meant, CNN says, “to solidify her image as the middle-class candidate” and “make former President Donald Trump and the Republican ticket appear elitist and out of touch.” But some question the vice president’s claim. The Washington Free Beacon reports that she never publicly mentioned her stint at McDonald’s until she ran for president in 2019, that the job also went unmentioned in her two books and various job applications, that there’s been no confirmation from McDonald’s itself. Even the online fact-checker Snopes says it’s waiting for further evidence before it can confirm or debunk. Mr. Trump isn’t waiting. On Friday he accused his Democratic rival of making the whole thing up.)

I should write about my critics/opponents who are the most anti-union and who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as having been grossly overpaid because I was a union member. They stress that while I was a union member for almost 12 years, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress that during that time, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, an MBA from Loyola, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul and b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.)

(COMMENT: When I was 49 years old in 1997, my GAO salary was $150,075/year in today’s dollars. What would my salary have been if I had been employed in the private sector? I had three masters degrees (business-Loyola, accounting-DePaul, and finance-IIT). I had six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting). I had a professional license (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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s not unusual to find the streets of downtown Geneva filled with cars, but Sunday brought an entirely different kind of traffic jam to the city’s central district. More than 300 antique and classic cars — some of them exceedingly rare — lined South Third Street from State to South streets as thousands of spectators packed the downtown for a glimpse of them during the Geneva Concours d’Elegance. Car owners from across the country travel to Geneva for the annual event, and a chance to win one of the coveted “Benz” Trophies awarded to the top vehicles.)

— ‘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.)

— Democrats say “MIT diversity data confirms ‘worst fears’ about end of affirmative action.” While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they used Affirmative Action and DEI to promote over me my coworkers who were Democrat and minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) no professional license like the one I had.

— Commemoration of the first enslaved Africans landing hosted in Hampton. – Danielle Saitta (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly use slavery to promote hatred against Republicans. Because Democrats fought the Civil War to preserve slavery, Democrats ever-increasingly a) paint Democrats as having been the Union Army in the Civil War, that is, as having been Republicans and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederacy in the Civil War, that is, as having been Democrats.)

POLITICO
— All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are woke, that is, they all are anti-Trump, anti-heterosexual, anti-conservative, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-draft avoiders, anti-non-poor people, anti-married people, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those who have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about them. I would focus on those who are also anti-union, anti-DINK, anti-federal employees and retirees, anti-plaintiffs, anti-etc.
