(COMMENT: What put you on the path to homeownership? I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. The down payment came from what I earned a) working for IRS full-time for the previous 15 months, first in Chicago, and then in Harvey and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time for the previous 18 months and full-time for the 7 months before that. That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)

(COMMENT: Anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about those anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes who have done the most a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Strange Tale of the Freedom Phone, a Smartphone for Conservatives. A 22-year-old Bitcoin millionaire wants Republicans to ditch their iPhones for a low-end handset that he hopes to turn into a political tool. – Jack Nicas
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/technology/freedom-phone-smartphone-conservatives.html
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who do not promote wearing masks.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/opinion/coronavirus-masks-school-board-meetings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public schools have long been an irresistible battleground for America’s culture warriors. On issues ranging from sex education to desegregation, public prayer to evolution to the Pledge of Allegiance, cultural cage matches are frequently fought on the backs of local schools, with board members, educators and students too often caught in the fray.)
— Dawn Turner Looks Back on Her ’70s Girlhood, and Those Who Got Left Behind – Linda Villarosa
(COMMENT: Did you seek admission to the University of Illinois in Urbana? I did not. Neither my parents nor I could afford it. But UIC did admit me in 1966. I could afford UIC a) because my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete, b) because I owned a new car to commute to/from classes and work that I had paid for with money that I had saved washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, and c) because I worked as many hours that I could part-time for the Park Forest Post Office.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/books/review/dawn-turner-three-girls-from-bronzeville.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Driving Turner’s narrative is a vexing question that continues to haunt her: How did she manage to accumulate the signifiers of success — a college degree, a career, a husband, a home outside the city — while Kim lost a baby as a teenager, sank into alcoholism and died of a heart attack at 23; and Debra battled drug addiction and eventually shot a man to death? . . . Dawn, Debra and Kim all had a leg up in life, as so-called children of the dream: the first generation to realize the hard-won freedoms of the civil rights movement. But only Turner was able to grab hold of the advantages, entering the University of Illinois at Urbana on the early tide of affirmative action, one of just a thousand African American students in a sea of 34,500.)

NEW YORK POST
— Why most Americans no longer honor unions on Labor Day – Editorial
(COMMENT: What is your attitude toward union members? I should write a book about those who have used my almost 12 years of union membership while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980 against me the most. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because of federal unions, I was grossly overpaid and my benefits were far too generous. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $48,445/year in 1971 to $97,395/year in 1980. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-management) when I was 21 in 1970, a job-related master’s degree (Loyola- MBA) when I was 27, a job-related professional certification (CPA) when I was 30, and I had almost completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree (DePaul-Accounting).)

From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that you promote masking: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

DAILY HERALD
— What is the first word you use to describe yourself? – Editorial
(COMMENT: For me, between 1980 and 1997, it was GAO employee. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. Between 1983, and 1996, I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. In 1986, GAO promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. In 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, in 1994, a Certified Government Financial Manager, in 1996, a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and in early 1997, a Forensic Accountant. In early 1997, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. But in September of 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors made all of the aforesaid worthless by forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

They stress that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. I transferred to GAO in 1980. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

The more that you call for equal opportunity, that is, the more that you oppose race, gender, and age based preference giving, the more that you are canceled by those who promote race, gender, and age based preference giving.

(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.)
https://www.dailylocal.com/2021/09/04/eck-find-out-where-school-board-candidates-stand-on-crt/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the head of a political party in Chester County, one of my duties is to help candidates get elected. But as a Republican, the responsibilities go much further. Our stated mission is to “serve the community of Chester County by promoting and growing the Republican Party and the values upon which it was founded.” These values are crystalized in our vision statement, derived from the Declaration of Independence, “to make the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness a reality for all.” It is rare that my responsibility to one of our candidates conflicts with our mission and vision. But when it does, principle takes priority over politics.)

In 1997, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black Democrat subordinate, which they did. Previously, to give preference to my Democrat coworkers and subordinates who minority, female, and or younger, they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Combating Whistleblower Retaliation: How to Maximize Your Recovery
(COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, nation origin discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/combating-whistleblower-retaliation-how-to-maximize-your-recovery
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All too often, whistleblowers who disclose fraud to their employers, law enforcement, or government agencies suffer retaliation by their employers. Whistleblower retaliation takes a serious toll on whistleblowers both financially and emotionally, including an inability to pay living expenses, reputational harm, alienation, blacklisting, and emotional distress. Whistleblower protection laws can provide a potent remedy, but before bringing a retaliation claim, it is crucial to assess the options under federal and state law and develop a strategy to achieve the optimal recovery. Key issues to consider include the scope of protected whistleblowing, the burden of proof, the damages that a prevailing whistleblower can recover, the forum where the claim would be litigated, and the impact of the retaliation claim on a whistleblower rewards claim.)

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/569882-the-political-tides-are-turning-against-the-biden-presidency
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The recent decline in support for President Biden and his administration likely means that the Democratic Party will lose control of the House and potentially the Senate in 2022 — and makes it increasingly likely that Biden will be a one-term president. Just 41 percent of registered voters now approve of Biden, while 55 percent disapprove, according to a USA Today-Suffolk University survey released last week. President Biden’s approval rating has markedly deteriorated, having dropped 16 points since this spring.)

(COMMENT: According to Democrats, Republicans have too much money and government should take money away from Republicans and give it to Democrats.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s newfound emphasis on promoting “common prosperity” to deal with the large wealth gap in the ostensibly communist nation has led to tough times for some of China’s billionaires. Jack Ma, formerly the richest person in the country, is among those whose net worth has fallen as a wave of new state controls and regulations drove down share prices for some of China’s hottest companies. The government’s campaign is about more than reducing inequality, however. There’s also increasing concern in Beijing about great wealth translating into political power separate from the Communist Party.)

WASHINGTON POST
— We Can’t Educate Our Way to Racial Economic Equity – Michael Collins
(COMMENT: I worked for GAO’s Chicago office group that audited federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997. In 1992, IIT started a master’s degree program in financial markets and trading. (SEE: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/08/04/IIt-offers-new-financial-markets-graduate-degree/1463712900800/ ) The courses in that program were directly related to the work that the group did. Sadly, I was the only member of the group that took those courses. I earned a master’s degree from IIT in financial markets and trading in 1997. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.)
