DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrat leaders crow about their success in defeating Republican township candidates. I should compare and contrast the eight Democrat Milton Township candidates who won with their eight Republican opponents who lost. For the April 1 election, what if Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders had promoted Trump’s policies as strongly as Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders demonized, denigrated, and condemned Trump’s policies?
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250412/news/suburban-blue-wave-hits-township-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban Democratic leaders say anger over the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration helped spur voters to action. “The best way to go against Trump and Musk is to put Democrats in office,” said Mark Guethle, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kane County. He said the township wins will help Democrats build a bench of candidates for future races for higher office. “Eventually, those people move up,” Guethle said. . .DuPage GOP leader Kevin Coyne said Republican candidates “ran good campaigns” but faced a “perfect storm of issues,” including an infusion of cash from the Democratic Party of Illinois to help bolster their candidates, the Trump factor, a demographic shift in the state as Republicans leave Illinois and being outpaced by Democrats in vote-by-mail ballots. . .McCollum, however, pointed to Election Day tallies and noted the majority of Democrats in contested races fared better when just looking at in-person Election Day vote tallies. He argued the bigger issue in the local races was Trump. . .Newly elected township officials plan to use these wins to focus on issues such as mental health care or other social assistance programs — services Democratic leaders fear may suffer under Trump’s administration.)
— Tariffs could cost them. They’re still standing by Trump. My standing by the Republican Party platform has cost me dearly. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Alumni of Wheaton College concerned about the school’s alleged leftward drift recently singled out a philosophy professor at the school as an example of liberalism seeping into the flagship Evangelical institution. Nathan Cartagena, Ph.D., who has been an assistant professor of philosophy at Wheaton College since 2018, has repeatedly exhibited “left-wing racial politics laundered through a patina of ‘Christianese,'” according to an analysis of his writings posted on the website “For Wheaton.” Educated at Grove City College, Texas A&M University and Baylor University, Cartagena’s profile asserts that he specializes in Thomas Aquinas, civil rights activist James Baldwin, Critical Race Theory, military ethics, “Evangélic@ Theology,” and Christian pedagogy.)

I started itemizing when I was 24 years old in 1972 and my wife and I started in 1978. We paid less federal income tax because of that. But SALT ended all that. My critics/opponents have been furious that we have paid less federal income tax by itemizing. They want SALT and they do not want the SALT cap to be increased.

In my defense, my parents never attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college education, who got them jobs, etc. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: ‘Mission South Africa’: How Trump Is Offering White Afrikaners Refugee Status. The United States has banned most refugees, including 20,000 people who were already ready to travel to the United States before Trump took office. But Trump is making one exception. White South Africans seeking asylum in America should be advised that when the next Democrat President is elected, they will be the first to be gotten rid of.

— The unemployment rate for college graduates has risen faster than for other workers over the past few years. How worried should they be? To hire, retain, and promote more young minorities and more young females, my superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly lowered standards. Because I am a White male, that ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license.

WASHINGTON POST
— States rush to hire federal workers out of work after DOGE cuts. As the Trump administration’s cuts to federal agencies left tens of thousands of workers in limbo, state and local governments began to recruit them. Democrat and RINO employers do not want to hire Republicans. After the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, the following did want to hire me: other federal agencies, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

— Broad Categories Of Government Workers Eligible To Lose Civil Service Protections. Because Democrats run the federal government, constructively, federal employees who are Republican have no Civil Service protections. If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat superiors would not have and could not have taken the many big adverse actions against me that they did. The more of the following that Democrat federal employees are, the more Civil Service protections that they have: minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

Since the 1980s, Democrat leaders could have highlighted how I have been harmed by Gingrich’s budget cuts. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Gingrich ever-increasingly cut GAO’s budget. GAO was almost always under hiring and/or promotion freezes. My Democrat GAO superiors used Gingrich’s budget cuts to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write about that.

Thousands of people fired then rehired by the Trump administration remain in limbo. ‘They want to get rid of us one way or another.’ All my Democrat superiors in the federal government always wanted to get rid of me because I was a Republican, but more so because I was conservative, White, male, older (born in 1948), Vietnam War draft avoider, Protestant, German American and my ancestors have been in America since 1844, but even more so because I complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, but even more so because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with some of the aforesaid discrimination when I was 40 years old in 1988.
