— Who will Trump appoint to be the next U.S. Comptroller General, that is, who will Trump appoint to be the next head of GAO? The U.S. Comptroller General’s term of office is set statutorily at 15 years and they are not eligible for reappointment. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. – Dave Diersen

(FROM GAO’S WEBSITE at https://www.gao.gov/about/comptroller-general : How the Comptroller General is Selected The Congress established the current procedure for nominating a Comptroller General when it passed the GAO Act of 1980. Under the act, the Comptroller General is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. When a vacancy occurs in the office of the Comptroller General, the Congress establishes a commission to recommend individuals to the President. The commission consists of the following: The Speaker of the House of Representatives, The President Pro Tempore of the Senate,
The majority and minority leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate, The Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and The Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The commission must recommend at least three individuals to the President, and the President may request that the commission recommend additional individuals. The President then selects an individual from those recommended to nominate as the new Comptroller General. The President’s nomination must be confirmed by the Senate. Comptrollers general are appointed for one nonrenewable 15-year term. The commission process has thus been followed three times now, leading to the President’s nomination, and the Senate’s confirmation, of the sixth Comptroller General, Charles A. Bowsher in 1981; the seventh Comptroller General, David M. Walker, in 1998; and the eighth Comptroller General, Gene Dodaro, in 2010.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Congress Approves Full Social Security Benefits for Public Sector Retirees. The popular measure gives full benefits to millions of people who currently receive them at a reduced level. Critics warn the $196 billion cost will speed up the program’s insolvency. (COMMENT: My Social Security is dramatically reduced because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension. I paid into Social Security for 10 years while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, and sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/us/congress-social-security.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill eliminates two provisions set up decades ago to shore up Social Security’s solvency. Projections show the Social Security fund will run out of money in 2038 and, if no action is taken before then, beneficiaries would see a 27 percent cut in benefits. Passage of the measure speeds up that timeline by six months. Twenty-seven Republicans joined Democrats in support. The two provisions were designed to prevent what is known as “double dipping” on retirement benefits by certain public employees and their relatives. It primarily affects two groups. One is public employees who receive pensions that are exempt from Social Security payroll taxes, but who also worked at least 10 years in jobs that required them to pay into the system. Such workers appear in the Social Security system as though they earned far less over their lifetimes than they actually did, and since the program pays out a higher proportion of low earners’ incomes in benefits, they receive a larger retirement benefit than they otherwise would. Another is people who receive public pensions but also become eligible for Social Security survivor benefits upon the death of a spouse or family member. Under the current law, both groups face a reduction in their benefits. The legislation on its way to enactment would allow them to receive the full amount. “We have spent decades working to pass this legislation, and tonight is a victory for all the public servants who will finally get the Social Security they have earned,” said Senator Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat who was a lead co-sponsor of the bill. The bill marked Mr. Brown’s final legislative achievement, after he lost a brutal and expensive re-election bid last month. “Tonight, Congress ensured that police officers, firefighters, teachers and public servants across Ohio will be able to retire with the Social Security they spent their lives paying into,” he said. Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine and a lead sponsor of the measure, framed the issue as a “long overdue” matter of fairness affecting teachers, firefighters and police officers as well as some federal employees who were hired before 1984, when the federal pension system was brought under the Social Security system. In a floor speech Wednesday, Ms. Collins cited one of her constituents, a retired female schoolteacher who had to return to work at age 72 after her husband’s death to make financial ends meet. The woman’s husband was a Navy veteran who paid into Social Security for 40 years, but since she received a public pension from the school system, her surviving spousal benefits through Social Security were reduced by two-thirds. “This is an unfair, inequitable penalty,” Ms. Collins said. Public sector workers who are currently being penalized, she said, “have earned these benefits.” Public sector retirees and their allies on Capitol Hill in both parties have pressed for the measure for decades. It has sailed through Congress over the last several weeks, bypassing the usual committee process after proponents in the House collected 218 signatures on a so-called “discharge petition” to force it to the floor. Senate leaders also skipped committee consideration. But it faced vocal pushback in the Senate from fiscal conservatives. Several senators, mostly Republicans, warned that the bill could set off a chain reaction of unintended consequences by eliminating the two provisions. “We all agree the status quo is unfair, and it penalizes millions of hardworking Americans,” said Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, an independent who railed against the federal debt. “But we also have an obligation to honor our promises to ensure that Social Security is going to be there for the people who have paid into it and have earned it, and also those generations who come after.” Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, argued that a bill affecting the financial integrity of Social Security was too important to rush through at the end of the year without debate. The nearly $200-billion setback for the trust fund, he argued, would only make it more difficult to fix the longer-term issue of Social Security’s solvency. “There’s so much riding on us getting this right and having the courage to fix Social Security over the next few years,” he said. Other Republicans said the legislation righted a wrong that should have been addressed a long time ago. “I’m just glad we’re finally getting it done,” said Senator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma and a close ally of Mr. Trump’s. “It should have been resolved years ago.” Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana, said he had pushed the issue for 30 years in Congress and has repeatedly heard lawmakers promise, “We’ll fix it next year.” “They never have,” Mr. Kennedy said in an interview Wednesday. “People are entitled to receive every penny that they earn, and the way the law works now, they’re not.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: ‘Delete’ the IRS As Trump supporters have pushed for a broad overhaul of the Internal Revenue Service — or to eliminate the tax collector entirely — Musk polled his followers on X about the future of the agency, asking whether the IRS’s budget should be increased, maintained, decreased or “deleted.” Among more than 200,000 respondents, “deleted” won handily, though the poll didn’t exactly use rigorous methodology. Eliminating the IRS would be a radical move. IRS tax collections are the primary source of federal funding. In fiscal 2023, when spending approached $6.2 trillion, the IRS collected nearly $4.7 trillion in gross taxes. So without the IRS, Washington would need a different source of cash. Like a lot of ideas Musk muses about, this change would need approval by Congress. . .shrink the federal payroll Musk and Ramaswamy have repeatedly emphasized their desire to bring federal workers back to the office full-time. Musk has long been an opponent of remote work, telling employees of his companies to report to the office or resign well before pandemic telework habits ended at many firms. “Those who farm or build or drive can’t work from home and will be very sympathetic to this requirement,” Musk posted recently. Musk and Ramaswamy have also pledged “mass headcount reductions” in the federal workforce, saying they would work to “identify the minimum number of employees” needed to carry out essential functions. The goal isn’t to save money, Ramaswamy recently told the Aspen Security Forum. It’s to align the size of government with its functions — which Musk and Ramaswamy hope to greatly reduce.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Left wing sees a silver lining in accused assassin’s actions (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate me the most because the federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, I worked for the Democrats who run the federal government for almost 30 years to get that benefit.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/11/left-wing-sees-silver-lining-accused-assassin-luig/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Images of the man accused of killing the CEO of the nation’s largest health insurance company are splashed across T-shirts, coffee cups and other merchandise being hawked online and on the streets of New York City. Meanwhile, a group born out of Sen. Bernard Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign is walking a tightrope of sympathy after the high-profile execution in Manhattan, suggesting, in this instance, that vigilante justice has a silver lining. . .“Half a million families go bankrupt each year from medical debt, and millions are harmed because their care is delayed or denied,” said the email, which included the subject headline “What Luigi Mangione means for Our Revolution.” The group has been a chief advocate for Medicare for All, taxing the wealthy and kneecapping corporations it accuses of putting “profits over people.”)

NEW YORK POST
— US immigration surge under Biden administration is biggest in US history — outpacing the days of Ellis Island (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always decried the German immigration surge during the 1840s and 1850s. All my ancestors immigrated to America during the 1840s and 1850s. My critics/opponents have always a) stressed that I am 100% German national origin and b) have foisted negative German stereotypes on me. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans In my defense, I have always stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)
https://nypost.com/2024/12/11/us-news/us-immigration-surge-under-biden-administration-is-biggest-in-us-history/
(FROM WIKIPEDIA: For Germany perpetrating the Holocaust and starting World War II, Germans are often stereotyped as Nazis. This stereotype, while now rare, persists to this day. After the war, the German people were often viewed with contempt because they were blamed by other Europeans for Nazi crimes. Germans visiting abroad, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, attracted insults from locals, and from foreigners who may have lost their families or friends in the atrocities. Today in Europe and worldwide (particularly in countries that fought against the Axis), Germans may be scorned by elderly people who were alive to experience the atrocities committed by Nazi Germans or by veterans who had fought against the Nazis during World War II. This resulted in a feeling of controversy for many Germans, causing numerous discussions and rows among scholars and politicians in Post-War West Germany (for example, the “Historikerstreit” [historians’ argument] in the 1980s) and after Reunification. Here, the discussion was mainly about the role that the unified Germany should play in the world and in Europe. Bernhard Schlink’s novel The Reader concerns how post-war Germans dealt with the issue.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— George Orwell had it right. We’ve somehow allowed a mob of degenerates guilt trip an entire society into a dystopia that rejects all morals in the name of morality. War is peace, ignorance is strength… Men are Women. “Affirming” the mentally ill is “life saving healthcare,” and with that, refusing to pay for someone’s “essential health care” is akin to murder. A cowardly thug murdering an innocent father in cold blood is therefore justified resistance. That’s who our leftist politicians, mainstream media and pop culture have celebrated for the past week. A wannabe vigilante jumping out of the dark to shoot a self-made CEO from an Iowa farm town was somehow presented as a win for the common man against the corporate empire. Except their Marxist hero, the identified suspect, turns out to be the product of privilege and money, cut from the same cloth as the Ivy League “revolutionaries” cheering him on.

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have their operative and their dupes take many big adverse actions against me.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/disgusting-ex-gop-rep-shreds-elon-musk-s-dangerous-attack-on-civil-service/ar-AA1uSZTX
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) slammed tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk for publicly naming examples of government employees he will target for elimination. “Shame on anyone who doesn’t have a problem with the wealthiest man on the planet publicly sharing the individual names of government employees he wants fired,” wrote Walsh, who went from being a Tea Party activist to one of the most outspoken conservative opponents of Trump. “Calling them out by name. Disgusting. Dangerous.” Musk, who helped Trump run critical sections of his campaign in the election and now heads up a MAGA task force on how to cut government spending, made the threats against specific employees earlier this week, according to CNN.)
— Is this the list of federal employees whom Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy may fire? Here’s the truth. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I was always on their fire lists. In today’s dollars I earned $150,075/year when I was 49, $110,020/year when I was 31, $97,079/year when I was 25, $54,728/year when I was 22, and $18.09/hour when I was 16.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The viral list stemmed from X and DOGE has not issued any such list. The information shared on the screenshot are also from government records. For example, an X post said, “Nancy Pelosi’s niece should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US Taxpayer to be the ‘Climate Advisor’ at HUD.”)

— Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies (COMMENT: Republicans ever-increasingly cut GAO while I worked for the Democrats who ran the agency 1980-1997. They ever-increasingly took their anger at Republicans out on me, one of the few Republicans in the agency. I should write a book about that. They forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They keep me off audits of IRS until 1986 when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But in 1987, they forced him to retire, and in 1989, they threw me off audits of IRS forever, gave me an very bad job assignment, gave me very unfair performance expectations, gave me a very unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. They never again assigned me to audits of IRS, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and they forced me to retire in 1997 even though I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

In 2003, all five of the announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) attended a picnic that I organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. Back then, I was the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster, and an officer of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I organized a major MTRO straw poll later in 2003 that Ryan won. The Illinois GOP Establishment wanted McKenna to win the primary and blamed me for Ryan winning it instead. Previously, the Illinois GOP Establishment blamed me for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. Also, later in 2003, and in 2004, I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremonies. I should write about the Illinois GOP Establishment. )

— Ready to vote again? Campaigns set to begin for local elections. (COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have advised candidates on ballots in my precinct to not seek my help to get elected.

I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans demanded change last week. Whether they were voting for Trump or against Harris, their rationale didn’t matter. Less government interference won. So did free speech, border control, law and order, and anti-DEI policies. The change that shook the nation was visible even in Illinois, perhaps one of the country’s most hostile media and political environments for Trump. Not only did Trump shrink the Dem margin of victory this year to nine percentage points – from 17 points in 2020 and 25 points in 2008 – he also performed better in both Chicago and the suburbs. Illinoisans’ support for Trump grew even as the media and political attacks on him, led notably by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, increased in intensity. So with 45% of Illinois going for Trump – and Latinos and blacks and virtually every demographic breaking towards him – you would have thought Gov. Pritzker would be chastened, or at least sufficiently introspective enough to temper his comments until the dust settles.)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/suburban-business-owner-faces-backlash-garners-support-for-public-show-of-support-for-president-elect-trump/3596501/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A small business in suburban Wheaton is facing controversy after showing their support for President-elect Donald Trump in wake of the 2024 election. Moveable Feast, a Latino-owned family business, put up a banner in front of the restaurant that reads “Jesus is my savior” and “Trump is my president.” “I grew up in Wheaton my whole life, so it was a little shocking to be honest because you know you can have different opinions, that’s fine, that’s what America is founded on and you’re allowed to have our own opinions,” Matthew Marquez, the restaurant’s owner, said. Marquez said he opened the business’ doors six years ago, building their restaurant on their faith. On Friday afternoon, the eatery was bustling with customers expressing their support and right to free speech. “I feel like we are who we are unapologetically, and we didn’t intend to offend anyone,” he said. “I thought maybe it would be a few people, who would walk by kinda look at the sign and frown at it or give it a thumbs up and then move on, but it came way more than that really quicky.” Two weeks before the election, the owner put up a “Make America Healthy Again” poster, and since adding the banner, the owner said they’ve received more than 500 hateful messages and comments from customers by phone and across social media. “A lot of people are saying: four letter words you lost my business, thank you for posting this, I appreciate what racist would announce themselves,” he shared. “I won’t be spending money in your establishment—I’ll let everyone know now to give money to support a convicted felon.” Marquez said longtime customers cut ties with them and cancelled catering orders. “I’ve spoken to many of these people over the past six years and they never have called me a racist, a woman-hating pig, but when I put that sign up all of a sudden, that’s what people said,” he said. “I think people know our true hearts and that’s why they’re supporting us.” The owner said business is up almost 50% since putting up the banner. Customers from different suburbs have been showing their support after hearing about the hate messages. “A lot of times people feel they have to be silent,” Jasmine Dolce, a first-time customer said. “They can’t support who they want to support, and they went out there and they put themselves out there and I’m really glad they did.” “That’s a big swing with a business to kind of take a side,” Bianca Stone, another first-time customer said. “But I realize that they’re also part of the silent majority.” The owner is overwhelmed and thankful for the support from customers from both sides of the aisles and said he doesn’t regret his decision. “Everyone can agree to disagree, that’s a phrase that seems like it’s gone out of the window,” he said. “But whether you agree politically or even religiously with what I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinions and that’s what we think and we’re proud to say it.”)

https://wgntv.com/news/dupage-county/wheaton-restaurant-signs-reaction/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxU0CO9S2f0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton restaurant owner was surprised at the reaction he received after posting two signs at his establishment. The community, however, has rallied behind him to show their support. Matt Marquez, owner of Moveable Feast + Company in Wheaton, described the backlash he’s been receiving after installing two signs outside his restaurant earlier this week. “It’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ which we strongly believe in and we put a picture of our storefront, and then we put another sign that said ‘Jesus is my Savior,’ and ‘Trump is my president,’” Marquez said. He never imagined displaying the signs would provoke hostile reactions. “We started getting tons of messages of just horrible negativity and threats and just really, really bad things and attacking my family personally,” Marquez said. He went and shared the negative feedback on social media. Although he said the criticism was intense at first, the support from customers began pouring in. “You could’ve voted for somebody else in the White House. You still have First Amendment rights. Those rights don’t end because of your feelings,” customer Kim Tameling said. “It takes courage in the world today to stand up for something you believe in and people have against. We just wanted to encourage them,” customer Alicia Piech added. According to Marquez, the beauty of this country lies in the freedom here all can express their beliefs. He believes in the power of having constructive dialogue rather than fueling division or hate. “This is the Wheaton I know, the one that rallies around people,” he said. “I’m happy to have anyone talk about it. I think it’s really something I would love to talk about.” Marquez also shared that while not everyone agrees with the signs, another positive outcome – aside from the overwhelming encouragement – is the sense of unity the signs have created among people with differing opinions, who are now dining together in the same space.)

— Migrants in Chicago might find legal help tough to get as they try to meet asylum application deadlines. More than 50,000 migrants, most from Venezuela, have arrived in Chicago since August 2022. Many fled violence, threats and persecution and are seeking asylum. With few exceptions, they have one year from arriving to apply for asylum. So those who arrived last fall have a limited time to do so. (COMMENT: Trump got 2.4 million votes in Illinois.)

— Leftists Trying to Destroy Wheaton Restaurant Over Trump Banner
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/07/leftists-trying-to-destroy-wheaton-illinois-restaurant-over-trump-banner
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The day after the election, a local and much-loved restaurant in Wheaton, Illinois put up a banner that says, “JESUS IS MY SAVIOR” on one side and “TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT” on the other side, with an image of the American flag in between. According to an Instagram post from the owners, the restaurant, Moveable Feast + Co, immediately began receiving hateful comments that included threats of lawsuits and warnings that the restaurant would be put out of business. In addition, the restaurant, owned by Matt and Ashley Marquez, was reported to the health department. It’s safe to assume that these hateful, intolerant, bigoted comments, and threats to destroy the Marquez family’s livelihood came from supporters of the joyful unifier Kamala Harris. Several years ago, I wrote about the “Hate Has No Home Here” yard signs popping up all over Wheaton to sneakily scold and condemn Trump supporters. Sadly, as Matt and Ashley Marquez, parents of four young children, are learning, hate has a home everywhere, particularly wherever leftists live. Here are a few of the ugly ignorant comments, ranging from the vengeful to the vulgar to the childish, that were sent to Moveable Feast: “Good luck! You’ll be closed in a few years.” “Fuck you. You’ve lost my business.” “Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate when racists announce themselves. It makes deciding where to spend my money so much easier.” “I won’t be spending my money at your establishment. I will also let my family and friends know not to give money to someone who supports a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist. I’ll also make sure to share on my socials, so that everyone knows what kind of people own this establishment.” “I bet you ate paint chips as a child. Why would you bring politics into your business, no wonder you’ve been struggling. No ones going to feel bad for you when you go under. And btw Trump isn’t going to bail you out.” What these moral ciphers are saying is that if their fellow citizens don’t vote the way the ciphers want, they shouldn’t be able to make a living. So filled with the milk of human kindness and a desire for unity amid diversity. #EPluribusUnum Such actions and words expose common leftist sentiments: They don’t value tolerance or diversity, and they loathe freedom to choose unless they have the unilateral power to circumscribe the choices. Nasty commenter #5, who presumes to know how all people will feel if the Nasties are successful in destroying the Marquez’s business, asks why the Marquez family would bring “politics” into their business. It’s an odd question from a leftist in that leftists have been bringing their politics into their businesses and everyone else’s for years. Leftists have culturally appropriated the entire month of June during which businesses big and small all over the country put up banners, signs, and symbols announcing their reverence for and celebration of leftist theories about sexuality and gender. Leftists have coerced corporate America to indoctrinate employees with CRT/DEI propaganda and advertise those political beliefs. Remember Target? Remember Bud Light? Leftists have coerced all of the entertainment industry to genuflect to the homosexual/trans industrial complex. Now, every streaming series, every movie, and even many children’s programs are politicized with leftist messages about sexuality and gender. I doubt that Nasty #5 objects to any of that politicization of business. Instead, he/she/ze aims his/her/zir ire, virulent hatred, intolerance, bigotry, and destructive impulses straight at a small family-owned business in a small town in the Midwest. Word to Nasty #5: Trump is your president too. Over 72 million of your fellow Americans voted for him, and he is now the president of all Americans. Or do you not accept the results of the election? Nasty #4 libelously called Matt and Ashley Marquez racists. Why would he/she level that peculiar accusation—I mean, other than that’s the go-to ad hominem of leftists these days? Marquez is a Spanish surname and common in Mexico. Maybe Nasty #4 was so busy drowning in his/her leftist tears in his/her safe space that he/she didn’t notice how many Latin and black men and women voted for Trump. Are they racists too? What about the Harris supporters who say all whites are racist? Are those Harris supporters racist? Nasty #4 is so furious at anyone who voted for “a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist” that he/she wants to destroy their ability to feed their children. Instead, Nasty #4 wanted Americans to vote for a woman, who lied to the American people repeatedly for years about Biden’s cognitive ability; who supported the corrupt influence-peddler Joe Biden; who supports the unfettered legal right of women to have their offspring—living humans with their own unique DNA and bodies—slaughtered for any or no reason until the day of their birth; who opened wide the border, allowing human traffickers and drug dealers to wreak havoc in America; who wanted struggling American taxpayers to pay to turn prisoners into eunuchs; who wants to allow men to invade women’s sports and private spaces; who has supported economic and energy policies that have left the finances of ordinary Americans in shambles; who is married to a man who knocked up his young children’s nanny and hit his previous girlfriend so hard his assault spun her around; and who opposes school choice. And Nasty #4 wants all Americans who voted for Trump to see their livelihoods go up in flames. That, my friends, is the leftist reimagining of safety, tolerance, diversity, unity, and compassion. If you are in the Wheaton, Illinois area, consider supporting Moveable Feast + Co. Word on the street is the food, service, ambience, and owners are fantastic.)

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. They ever-increasingly reduce enforcement of pot laws. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, those around you will be stoners. I led the successful fight to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton in 2019. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders will crow that they are stoners. I have always opposed pot. I have never used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, or GAO in 1980. If IRS had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If GAO had hired me, it would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had used pot, I would not have been able to a) get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, or get accepted by UIC in 1966, b) get accepted by NIU in 1969, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) pass the CPA Examination on my first attempt in 1979, f) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, g) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. If I had used pot, I would not been able a) to buy used cars in 1964 and 1971 and new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc., b) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and have a home built in 1984, and c) get married in 1978. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject the illegal drugs plank in the Republican Party platform, want to use pot, are using pot, have used pot, and/or want make money off of pot.

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://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/09/18/what-the-media-wont-tell-you-about-the-right-to-ivf-act-n4932632
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been actively seeking to elevate abortion as a central voting issue to drive their base to the polls. One strategy has been to merge abortion with the debate over in vitro fertilization (IVF), effectively adopting it as part of their broader 2024 election strategy by pushing claims that Republicans are attempting to ban IVF. To this effort, Senate Democrats, spearheaded by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), pushed for a second vote on the so-called “Right to IVF Act” this week. “If Donald Trump and Republicans want to protect people’s right to access IVF, they can vote yes on it,” Duckworth told CBS News before the vote. “He’s shown that it only takes one sentence from him, and the Republican Party will fall in line behind him.” The bill failed to advance, and the media promptly pushed the expected narrative. “Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would protect access to IVF on Tuesday, in a vote that Democrats held to draw attention to the issue after former President Donald Trump’s recent statements supporting the fertility treatments,” CBS reported. “For the second time in four months, Senate Democrats forced a vote on the Right To IVF Act, only to be blocked by Republicans who called it unnecessary and politically motivated as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to make access to in vitro fertilization a 2024 campaign issue,” read the lead at NBC News. The headline over at CNN read, “Senate GOP blocks IVF bill again as Democrats spotlight issue ahead of elections.” Naturally, these stories and headlines aren’t telling the whole story. This is a common election-year tactic that can be surprisingly effective if the media is on your side. Of course, the devil is always in the details, because the “Right to IVF Act,” is far more than what its name implies — as is the case with most legislation. “The ‘Right To IVF Act,’ introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lumps several radical Democrat-led assisted reproductive technology (ART) bills into one to ensure the unlimited creation, indefinite freezing, and destruction of millions of embryos,” explains Jordan Boyd of The Federalist. Boyd goes into further detail. “Included in the self-proclaimed ‘sweeping’ bill are vague language and undefined terms that would force Americans with moral objections to ART to fund the manufacturing of motherless and fatherless children, commercial surrogacy, experimental transhumanist technologies like artificial wombs, ‘gene editing,’ and reproduction without women via in vitro gametogenesis,” he explains. “Additionally, the package would make a permanent path for taxpayer-funded ART like egg and sperm freezing, IVF, and surrogacy for millions of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. It also incentivizes the promotion of babies by any means necessary above adoption and restorative reproductive treatments that address the root causes of infertility.” If Democrats were really interested in protecting the right to IVF treatments, they would, for one, push forward a clean bill that could get bipartisan support, and I suspect it would. But they won’t risk putting forward a bill that might succeed and take the issue off the table for them before the election.)
POST MILLENNIAL
— US Air Force has DEI ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ in officer ranks (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They gave all their Senior Executive Service (SES) members who they assigned to manage their Chicago office lists of employees to get rid of. Of course, I was near or at the top of all those lists. The more of the following that you were, the higher that you were on those lists: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, if your ancestors had been in America for a long time, and/or if you had not made GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,457) by age 35, and SES ($191,900) by age 40. The aforesaid is “up-or-out.” Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (business), 1980 (accounting), and 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), in 1981 (internal auditing), in 1990 (fraud examination), in 1994 (government financial management), in 1996 (financial services auditing), and in 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).) The aforesaid is Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

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.)

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-harris-admin-working-trump-proof-hundreds-doj-jobs-watchdog-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Administration is using an “obscure hiring authority” that bypasses normal hiring processes based on merit to secure DOJ positions that could thwart former President Trump’s agenda if he takes office in 2025. . .The administration is also using Schedule A to install immigration judges – again, outside of the normal merit-based system – who will rule on cases of those in a position to benefit from the administration’s immigration policies.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Biden-Harris administration “has deployed a little-known hiring mechanism to staff key divisions of the Department of Justice ahead of the 2024 election,” in order to “Trump-proof” the department. . .“The Biden-Harris administration and its allies have already signaled their intent to hamstring their successor and prevent a future president from reversing their agenda,” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain said in a press release. “Exploiting non-competitive hiring authorities to fill career civil service positions could be just another component of this scheme. 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.)

— The public-sector pay gap is widening. Public-sector employees earn less than their private-sector counterparts, and that pay gap has widened in recent years. (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).)
