CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rhonda Belford: Democrats can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/07/opinion-illinois-gerrymandering-texas-redistricting/
(FROM THE LETTER: Gov. JB Pritzker is once again talking about gerrymandering — just not in Illinois. This week, he welcomed Texas Democratic legislators to Oakwood, Illinois, to denounce Republican redistricting efforts in that state. But while Pritzker lectures red states about fairness, he continues to ignore the glaring problems in his own backyard. Don’t forget that in 2021, Pritzker signed one of the most blatantly and aggressively gerrymandered congressional maps in the country, drawn and passed by his own party. The map created districts with lines that make my grandchildren’s scribblings look like Pablo Picasso’s. It’s a stark contrast from when Pritzker was on the campaign trail. He promised to veto any map that was “in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies.” Pritzker campaigned with a message of hope and fairness and moving past Democrats’ history of corruption. Then, at his first opportunity, Pritzker broke that promise without hesitation. “Fairness” wasn’t on Illinois Democrats’ minds. Now, as he positions himself to run for president, Pritzker is outraged. While standing on his giant soapbox and projecting his moral authority, he floated the idea of redrawing even more favorable maps in Illinois. That’s not democratic leadership; it’s partisan gamesmanship. That map gave Democrats a clear advantage in 14 of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts and earned an “F” for fairness from the nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project. The maps weren’t an accident. They deliberately cut out two Republican-leaning seats and helped lock in Democratic control. Let that sink in: The same man who signed, supported and pushed one of the worst partisan gerrymanders in the nation is now upset that other states are following his lead. Instead of looking in the mirror or pushing for national changes, Pritzker responds by threatening additional partisan moves that will continue to divide our state. Illinois families deserve better. They deserve fair representation, not districts drawn in backrooms to silence opposition and insulate power. When maps are rigged to favor one party, voters lose faith in our elections and our country’s founding principles. The truth is, with Democratic supermajorities in Springfield, there’s no one who can force Illinois Democrats to do the right thing and clean up partisan games — they need to do it themselves. If Pritzker truly wants to lead on voting rights and gerrymandering, he should start by honoring the promise he made to Illinois voters: to support an independent redistricting commission and end partisan gerrymandering in our state. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Until then, his speeches about fairness will continue to ring hollow. You can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Before our governor lectures Texas on fairness, he should take a long, hard look at his own record — and start living up to the promises he made to the people of Illinois. Rhonda Belford is an Illinois Republican national committeewoman and president of the Republican County Chairmen’s Association of Illinois. She leads the 12th District State Central Committee.)

— Homeland Security removes age limits for ICE recruits to boost hiring for Trump deportations. Currently, ICE applicants must be 21 years old and no older than 37 or 40, depending on what position they are applying for. I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors used “up-or-out” to deem me too old to ever be promoted to GS-13. I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

Grant did not return a phone call from The Illinoize, but we’re told she has informed many of her colleagues of her plans. She was elected in 2018 to the Wheaton-based district and has overcome hard charging Democrat challenges in the past three election cycles. After being vastly outspent in 2024, she won re-election by 292 votes. No word yet on who Republicans hope to see the seat. Democrats appear high on their candidate, Wheaton Village Trustee Erica Bray-Parker.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/documents/ That article made me very well-known to the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO. They used everything in that article against me that they could. They used the article mainly to paint me as being a grossly overpaid draft avoider. That helped them force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

My Democrat IRS superiors would not have a) never promoted me beyond GS-12 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978 and my travel vouchers in 1974.

When I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer position in 2004, I stressed my experience. At that time, I was serving as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer. I had served as the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Treasurer for 3 years. I was a licensed CPA. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had a master’s degree in accounting. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years. But my opponent had his operatives and his dupes demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me. He got 69 votes and I got only 13. He blamed me big time for George Ryan’s problems and for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. I should write about the aforesaid.

Because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, GAO shrank from more than 6,000 employees down to less than 3,000. The agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. The Democrats who ran GAO were beyond furious about that. They took their anger against Gingrich out against me, one of the few remaining Republican employees in the agency. They wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

That finally allowed the GAO manager (Bill) who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 and to promote me in 1986. But Dave a) came back in 1987, b) forced Bill to resign in 1987, c) threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, d) gave me a bad job assignment in 1989, e) gave me unfair performance expectations in 1989, f) gave me an unfair performance appraisal in 1989, g) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) in 1989, h) assured that I would always be ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP for the rest of my GAO career, i) assured that I would never again be assigned to audits of IRS, and j) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
— Merit Hiring Plan. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and they got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat.
https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2025-05/Merit%20Hiring%20Plan%205-29-2025.pdf
(FROM THE MEMORANDUM: The American people deserve a Federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, Federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex Federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory “equity” quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled bureaucrats. The American people, who deserve a government that works for them, have suffered. In his January 20, 2025 Executive Order 14170, Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) President Trump directed that “recruitment and hiring processes” become “more efficient and focused on serving the Nation” and that hiring be based on “merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution.” These changes will “ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attract the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively.” President Trump directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to “develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly capable Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.” President Trump stated that this Merit Hiring Plan must achieve seven goals: 1. Prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; 2. Prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch; . . . Finally, the Merit Hiring Plan must provide specific best practices for the human resources (HR) function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement. These HR best practices are included as Appendix 1.2 The key elements of the following Merit Hiring Plan are: 1. Reforming the Federal recruitment process to ensure that only the most talented, capable and patriotic Americans are hired to the Federal service; 2. Implementing skills-based hiring, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements, and requiring the use of rigorous, job-related assessments to ensure candidates are selected based on their merit and competence, not their skin color or academic pedigree;)

— Don Tracy considers governor bid
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/29/don-tracy-considers-governor-bid-00480953
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2026 INTRIGUE: A familiar Republican name is eyeing the 2026 governor’s race. Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, confirmed to Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore that he is actively considering a bid for the state’s top job. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” Tracy told Moore, noting he’s been “making some calls” and that “several people” have urged him to throw his hat into the ring. The potential candidacy comes at a time when the Illinois GOP is in a prolonged wilderness stretch, failing to win a statewide race in nearly a decade. Tracy may be the Republican to change that. He’s a Springfield attorney and businessman with ties to the party’s donor class. And though he stepped down as chair last year, Tracy’s name still carries weight in Republican circles. It wouldn’t be easy. Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire with virtually unlimited resources and a finely tuned political operation, announced in June that he will seek a third term. The governor has already signaled an aggressive campaign that focuses on attacking extremism. . .State Sen. Sue Rezin, who serves as deputy Republican leader, is returning to the trail. “After a lot of thought and discussions, I have decided to run for reelection to protect taxpayers’ pocketbooks, strengthen public safety and keep and grow good-paying jobs right here at home in the 38th Senate District,” she said in a statement. Rezin has been serving in the General Assembly since 2010.)

SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGY
— A meritocratic society allows those from lower socioeconomic status to aspire to a higher social class, status, and place in the hierarchy. Meritocracy enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license even though a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d)my mother never attended high school, and e) I had to work my way through college. My critics/opponents vehemently disagree. According to them, I was able to accomplish the aforesaid because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus those whose parents had lots of money.

If Republican Presidents, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Representatives had stopped AA and DEI in the federal government, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Further, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions, and c) disallow my travel vouchers.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Getting retroactive Social Security benefit payments. Because of the repeal of GPO and WEP, my Social Security increased from about $3,000/year to about $6,000/year. Also, I got about $3,200 in backpay. Further, because the repeal, I am now eligible to claim 50% of my wife’s Social Security, but I will only get 43% because I took Social Security when I was 62.
https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/the-savings-game-getting-retroactive-social-security-benefit-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q. I receive a significant pension from work I have done outside of Social Security. I have not worked enough hours under Social Security to receive a benefit based on my work record. My spouse is retired and receives a generous Social Security benefit. A few years ago, I contacted Social Security and asked if I was eligible for a spousal benefit. I was informed that because two-thirds of my pension exceeded the spousal benefit I would otherwise be entitled to, that I shouldn’t even apply for a spousal benefit because of the regulations related to the Government Pension Offset (GPO). So I did not apply. When the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and GPO were repealed at the end of 2024, I filed for a spousal benefit because I was told that the two-thirds reduction was no longer in effect. After I applied, I was told that because I never applied for a spousal benefit prior to the repeal of GPO, I was not eligible for retroactive payments. I am now receiving a spousal benefit, but why am I not entitled to retroactive payments? A: More than one reader has written to complain about this situation. There is no logical reason why you should not be entitled to retroactive benefit payments. Many individuals who are now receiving a spousal benefit for the first time because of the repeal of GPO also receive six months of retroactive benefit payments.)

I bought a new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Plus earlier this year. Because the MSRP was more than $55,000, it did not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. But I did get the $4,000 State of Illinois rebate.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250726/news/illinois-adding-more-electric-vehicles-than-ever-before-but-not-enough-to-meet-goal-of-1-million-by/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .As part of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of a new electric vehicle ends Sept. 30. The $4,000 tax credit for purchasing a used electric vehicle is going away as well. . .Walton said the goal of rebates was to help lower prices for electric vehicles, which has occurred. New entry-level EVs run about $30,000, he said. The average price for any new car in the U.S. is about $50,000. Illinois charges electric vehicle owners an additional $100 per vehicle as part of the annual registration fees. The fee is intended to cover the loss of motor fuel tax revenues that go to pay for road construction and repairs statewide.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to government, there are few things more unattractive than nakedly partisan power politics, as reflected by a ruthless process called gerrymandering. Too many people don’t understand the concept, but it’s as simple as it is basic. Gerrymandering is the drawing of legislative district boundary lines — both state and federal — to give one political party an advantage over the other on Election Day. The typical tactics used are called “packing” — diluting the minority party’s strength by placing most of its voters into a few select districts — and “cracking” — splitting up a geographically compact group across multiple districts in order to reduce their electoral influence. Presto, chango, legislative elections are won and lost before a single vote has been cast. In Illinois, Democrats have gerrymandered state and federal districts to give themselves a super-majority in the state House and Senate and 14 of 17 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the Texas Legislature plans to redraw congressional maps in an effort to increase Republican members in the U.S. House, the governors of California and Illinois may devise their own new borders. . .As the most populous state in the nation, California has 43 Democratic members of the house and nine Republican members, while Illinois is represented by 14 Democrats and three Republicans. “Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said. The Illinois governor said he doesn’t want to redraw the maps but “if they’re going to take this drastic action, then we might also take drastic action to respond.” “We want the country to understand [that] what’s going on in Texas is a national battle,” State Rep. Richard Pena Raymond, a Democrat from Laredo, said. Raymond told Pritzker that redistricting is “clearly aimed at affecting the entire country.” Responsibility for determining Congressional district maps differs from state to state. In California, an independent commission approved by voters in 2010 works on the maps. Illinois maps, on the other hand, are put together by the state lawmakers have been drawn strongly to favor the Democrat Party in the state.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oh look, another American’s been beheaded by a Mexican. This week’s beheader is Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, an illegal alien who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, decapitated 37-year-old Megan Bos, then stashed her body in a bleach storage container. Arrested for the crime in April, Mendoza-Gonzalez was promptly released from custody by Illinois judge Randie Bruno, who is the same physical type — chubby, short-haired, white woman — as the Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal sneak out of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents. Illinois: sanctuary state for Mexican decapitators. Because they’re not busy enough rounding up the 20 million pillars of society Joe Biden allowed to sneak into America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to devote time and resources this week to recapturing Mendoza-Gonzalez. Otherwise, you never would have heard about it, and liberals could keep pretending not to know that Mexican drug cartels decapitate people.)

BURR RIDGE PATCH
— Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, an attorney, has announced he would run as a Republican for chairman of the DuPage County Board. Republican candidates increasingly lose elections in DuPage County because Democrats increasingly move into DuPage County to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there.
https://patch.com/illinois/burrridge/burr-ridge-mayor-seeks-higher-office
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The current chairman is Democrat Deb Conroy, who is in her first term. He served on the county board from 2012 to 2018. He has been mayor twice – 2005 to 2012 and since 2019. Historically, Republicans have controlled DuPage’s government. However, that has changed in recent years as Democrats have become more popular in suburbs across the country. In his statement, Grasso described himself as “socially moderate.” But Grasso may have trouble attracting the party’s MAGA wing. In 2022, Grasso lost the Republican race for Congress to MAGA enthusiast Keith Pekau, then Orland Park’s mayor, who went on to lose to Democratic incumbent Sean Casten. In his announcement, Grasso said Burr Ridge was the first to receive busloads of migrants from Chicago without notice or information about them. He said Burr Ridge welcomed the migrants while assuring the community that all were respecting the law. He said he would protect law-abiding, taxpaying immigrants who want to become citizens. But he said he would never offer sanctuary to undocumented immigrants who commit violent or serious crimes. Grasso also promoted his handling of the pandemic. He said he worked with the Village Board to provide stipends to small businesses to pay rents and salaries. He also said he found money to erect tents for restaurants rather than follow an “ill-advised” order to close them. Grasso said he was proud that Burr Ridge did not close or lose one business to COVID. “This is one of several reasons why the Village of Burr Ridge is debt-free today,” the mayor said. In his statement, Grasso noted he was chairman of the county’s 911 board. In that post, he said he led the consolidation of the county’s 21 call centers to two. He announced his Republican candidacy on his Facebook page titled, “Gary Grasso – Mayor of Burr Ridge” and labeled “Public & Government Service.” The Democratic and Republican primaries are March 17.)

CRAIN’S CHICAG BUSINESS
— Chicago Tribune begins newsroom layoffs in wake of failed buyouts. My Democrat GAO superiors always wanted to get rid of me and my coworkers who shared my demographics. In 1993, when I was 45 years old, they “offered” those like me who had 25 or more years of federal service a $25,000 buyout if we retired early. They succeeded in forcing me to retire 4 years later just before their “offer” expired. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. Beyond the tremendous negative financial impact of being forced to retire early, it gives your critics/opponents something very big to use against you. They will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. Further, the more qualifications that you have, the more that they will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. When my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— The great divide between Chicago and the rest of Illinois. A report on the state of our uncomfortable union. The Democrats who run Chicago despise/hate a) the rest of Illinois and b) Republicans.

https://chicagoreader.com/columns-opinion/opinion/divide-chicago-illinois-chris-ware/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois basically has two regions: Chicago and “downstate.” Dense Chicago is reliably Democratic, whereas downstate skews conservative, but rarely enough to flip the electoral switch. The last time Illinois voted in the federal elections for a Republican president was in 1988.)

STATE OF ILLINOIS
— Illinois Reinforces Commitment to Pay Transparency and Equity. My Democrat superiors in the federal government were always proud to report that they paid their Democrat employees more than they paid their Republican employees including me. They especially paid my Democrat coworkers more who were minority, female, veteran, and/or younger. They were especially proud to report that they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1997. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, veteran, and/or younger, they would transferred me in as a GS-13, currently $117.807/year. Because I am a Republican, they did not assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 years old in 1986. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. GAO audits IRS. I had worked IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who were minority, female, veteran, and/or younger and/or b) had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

DURBIN
— The Only Qualification That President Trump Looks For In His Nominees Is Loyalty To Him And His MAGA Agenda. Durbin took to the Senate floor to denounce President Trump’s extreme and unqualified judicial nominees. The only employee qualifications that my Democrat superiors in the federal government looked for was being Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger. They replaced me with my Democrat Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less job-related work experience than I had. He had less job-related education than I had. He had one job-related professional certification while I had six. He had no job-related professional license like the one I had.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump creates new classification of non-career federal government worker. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, their top priority always was hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who was minority, female, younger and/or veteran who would take the jobs. Because I failed/refused to become a Democrat, they wasted my career and they got rid of me. My critic/opponents have no problem with the aforesaid.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3475158/trump-new-classification-non-career-federal-government-worker/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In line with Trump’s approach to federal government hiring during his second administration, an emphasis will be placed on loyalty, with the classification providing another opportunity for the president to recruit people who align with his political and policy agenda.)
