RIVER BENDER
— With Application Deadline Approaching, Duckworth Seeks Additional Student Applications For U.S. Military Service Academies (DIERSEN: Were you an outstanding Illinois student? I was not. I just barely made it into the top 20% of my high school class in 1966. My ACT score  was only 24. Further, a) my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, b) I had partial red/green color blindness, and c) I could not run because I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease ). Further, I did not demonstrate leadership ability. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; and collected delinquent taxes for IRS 1971-1980.)
https://www.riverbender.com/articles/details/with-application-deadline-approaching-duckworth-seeks-additional-student-applications-for-us-military-service-academies-53303.cfm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Each year Duckworth, with the assistance of a nomination committee, selects from the applicants a group of outstanding Illinois students to receive Congressional nominations to attend West Point, the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, or the Merchant Marine Academy. “It takes a special kind of young person to succeed at a U.S. Military Service Academy,” said Duckworth. “The rigorous nomination process demands outstanding test scores, a high GPA, and a commitment to community service. I encourage all interested Illinois students to apply for a nomination, and I applaud their desire to serve our country.” Service academies allow young people to serve their country while receiving a full four-year scholarship. Upon acceptance of an appointment into an Academy, a student commits to five years of active duty service after graduation. U.S. citizens between the ages of 17 and 23 may receive appointments from one of the four service academies. In order to be considered, a student must get a formal nomination from their Member of Congress, Senator, or the Vice President.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Board Commissioner Pete DiCianni is officially throwing his hat in the ring for the board chairman position that opened up when Dan Cronin announced he wouldn’t seek re-election. DiCianni is a Republican who has served on the DuPage County Board for nearly a decade. His announcement today at the Itasca Country Club will likely focus on his work championing economic development while mayor and supporting the building of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. DiCianni recently made headlines when he stepped down as chairman of the DuPage board’s Health and Human Services Committee after attending a rally without wearing a mask, shouting at a protester, and cursing on social media. He apologized, admitting it wasn’t his finest moment.- Shia Kapos

HERALD TIMES
— Indiana University’s diversity loyalty oath – Charles Trzcinka (COMMENT: How soon, if not already, will your employer if you are still employed, the organizations that you are a member of, and the governments that you are under officially get rid of you if you fail/refuse to sign a “diversity statement,” that is, if you fail/refuse to help get rid of those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2021/09/19/indiana-university-diversity-equity-inclusion-employment-oath/8377863002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You may not have noticed, but the websites at Indiana University have had a significant change. Instead of promising “equality” they now advertise “equity.” The difference is not trivial. “Equality” means equal opportunity for all regardless of how people were born. “Equity” means the percentage of people with various characteristics in IU’s workforce, especially skin color and gender, need to reflect the same percentage in the population. Nobody voted on this change. Nobody has ever found any evidence that equal opportunity has ever been denied anyone at IU. The goal of “equity” was simply imposed by the administration and various faculty and student groups. How are they enforcing “equity?” A primary tool is to require all new faculty to fill out a “diversity statement.” Candidates for faculty positions are required to describe exactly what they have done in their careers to support the goal of “equity” especially combined with the undefined words “diversity” and “inclusion.” Administrators now carefully comb through these statements to determine if a candidate supports the goals of diversity, inclusion and equity. If they are not sufficiently supportive of, or heaven forbid, are opposed to, these goals they will not be interviewed. One wonders what they would do if a black woman candidate said she is opposed to diversity efforts.)

— Judge Lifts Race, Gender Hiring Quotas for Cincinnati Police. A federal judge has lifted race- and sex-based hiring quotas imposed on the Cincinnati Police Department 40 years ago to fix the department’s lack of diversity. – AP (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs make Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are RINO, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran a) have not had to “pay the price” of AA, Diversity, and Inclusion and/or b) seek to avoid paying the price of AA, Diversity, and Inclusion by helping Democrats and RINOs get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Have you paid the price of AA, Diversity, and Inclusion? I have big time. If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old in 1988. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. But instead, they did not promote me to GS-12 until I was 25, to GS-13 until I was 38, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)

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.)

Despite their tremendous efforts, I got promoted to GS-9, currently $59,258/year, in 1972; to GS-11, currently $71,697/year, in 1973; to GS-12, currently $85,935/year, in 1974; and to GS-13, currently $102,188/year, in 1986.)

(COMMENT: Because Zooming allows members of organizations to participate in meetings maskless, expect that Democrat and RINO organizations will stop Zooming to get rid of their members who do not promote masking.

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.)

If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)

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.)

I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.

— Unfair retirement cuts – James Glover, President, Chapter 1309 (COMMENT: I am one of those 99,640. My Social Security is $365 less each month because I get a Civil Service Retirement System pension. I paid Social Security taxes while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210902/unfair-retirement-cuts
(FROM THE LETTER: I am a retired federal employee who loses $500 per month from my earned Social Security benefit. In 1984, Congress unfairly reduced public employee SSA pensions by two-thirds of the benefit earned and promised for no reason other than to save SSA money. No other category of pensions was reduced. We urge Congress to pass HR 82 and S1302 to remedy this unjust treatment. This unfair law adversely affects 99,640 citizens in Illinois and needs to be repealed so we can get the same benefits earned like everyone else.)

— Many Pandemic Retirees Weren’t Ready. How to Cope if You’re One of Them. A significant portion of workers who left their jobs since the coronavirus began surging were financially unprepared, research shows. – Tammy La Gorce (COMMENT: I have far far far less money now because the Democrats who run the federal government wasted my career and succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My $54,864 Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only 41% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars – $132,845. In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is less then what my IRS salary was in 1972 when I was 23 years old.)

They will hint/imply/argue/shout that employer considered you to be a bad employee, loser, White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. I should write a book about those who have used my early retirement against me the most. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on 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. I would focus on those who I have sued. I would focus on religious and conservative leaders. Better yet, I should sue the aforesaid.)
