CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Letters: Contrary to the stereotype, accounting is a fulfilling and stimulating profession; Not just number crunchers; Devoted to being guardians (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 29 years old in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. My 1970 undergraduate degree and my 1976 master’s degree should been in accounting.)

— DuPage County registered voters anxious await receiving a post card from DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek that gives them their polling place address and other election information. I am in the process of hand-delivering campaign literature and a copy of the sample ballot to all the residences in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton hat have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter (about 400). So far, the Milton Township Republican Organization has provided me with campaign literature from Grant, Berlin, Wang, Jorgensen, Prater, Corrigan, Castle, and Skarin.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE & CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pedro Martinez refuses to resign as Chicago Public Schools CEO (COMMENT: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should not have succumbed to my Democrat GAO superiors’ threats to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. Assuming that their efforts to downgrade me, if not fire me, had failed, I would have worked at least until 2003 when I would have been eligible for regular retirement. My Civil Service Retirement System pension and retirement savings would be much greater. I would not have had to suffer the tremendous sigma of being forced to retire early; that stigma is dramatically greater because I have three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. I would not gotten involved in Republican politics, and therefore, my critics/opponents a) could not have blamed me for Jim Ryan’s defeat and for all the other defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, b) could not have rudely ended my service as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, c) could not have rudely ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster not only once, but twice, d) could not have rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer, e) could not have rudely tried to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, f) could not have rudely ended my service as an ICRC Steering Committee member, g) could not have rudely ended my service on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, h) could not have rudely ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, i) etc.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240924/local-politics/forest-preserve-candidates-to-square-off-in-glen-ellyn-forum/
— A divisive moment averted: Plans to bring inflammatory speaker to suburbs would only have hurt Illinois GOP (COMMENT: Political parties need to vet candidates. At least since 2000, everything would have been different politically if the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Milton Township Republican Organization had vetted candidates, and especially if they had put me on their candidate vetting committees. I would have called for full background investigations of candidates. I would have used the investigative skills that I acquired a) working for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, b) working for IRS for as a Revenue Officer almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, and c) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner, Forensic Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and Licensed CPA. I should write a book about candidates a) who never should have run because of the big skeletons that they had in their closets and b) candidates who lost general elections because the big skeletons that they had in their closets came out after they won primary elections. In 2004, in Illinois, Jack Ryan ran in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois )  His primary campaign team, which did not include me, knew that he had an extremely big scandal that would come out if he won the primary and would force him to withdraw. Nevertheless, they went forward anyway and defeated his primary opponents including Jim Oberweis, Steve Rauschenberger, and Andrew McKenna. Ryan withdrew after that extremely big scandal came out and the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced Ryan with Alan Keyes. If Ryan’s extremely big scandal had come out before the primary election, Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna would have won and everything would have been different. Oberweis, Rauschenberger, or McKenna might have defeated Obama in the general election. By way of contrast, Blair Hull might very well have won the Democrat primary if Obama’s campaign had not disclosed a far less serious marital issue that Hull had. I was involved in the aforesaid because of my roles as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and a fundraising committee member, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.

— According to my critics/opponents, I cause Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose elections because I paint them in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters as being more conservative than they are. Ever-increasingly, my critics/opponents discourage Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct from asking me to help elect them. I should write a book about that. I would focus on those candidates who want/wanted to be painted as being Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. – Dave Diersen

Many websites benefit from the traffic that I drive to them. I pay Constant Contact $680.40/year to send the newsletters out. My critics/opponents are beyond furious that I have the money, time, experience, ability, health, and motivation needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and send them out every morning free of charge and without any advertising or donation requests. They continue to do everything that they can to stop me from sending out the newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them. They do not take or return my phone calls. They read my newsletters or have their operatives and dupes read them for “opposition research.” They have their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work and destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

My father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, he was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he never attended college, he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills, and he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

— We need more accountants. Chicago, a major center in the accounting world, has a big stake in reviving the field. (COMMENT: I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. I did major in accounting at DePaul 1976-1980 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981 at age 32. But by then, accounting viewed me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/22/editorial-accountants-gaap-partnerships-private-equity/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: America’s most famously boring profession is in trouble, and that’s bad news for Chicago. The city is a hotbed of professional services, including lawyers, consultants and the now-endangered species of certified public accountants. CPAs are essential for financial reporting, advanced tax preparation and other dull-but-important tasks that keep the economy going. These days, the accounting profession is in crisis as CPAs retire and the pipeline to replace them dries up. Addressing the shortage means changing the time-consuming path to becoming a CPA, without lowering the standards that make the work of these unsung financial heroes so critical. The health of the capital markets depends on breathing new life into the profession. CPAs are experts in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the complicated rules and procedures that govern the financial world. Among a CPA’s most important functions is auditing public companies to ensure their financial statements conform with GAAP. If CPAs sign off, they certify to the public that the numbers can be trusted, so in that respect these behind-the-scenes gnomes are guardians of the public trust.)

— In a series of clips published to the Trump War Room X account, Trump detailed his plan to Make Housing Affordable Again, an issue that many people especially younger Americans have struggled with in recent years. “Finally, I will save America’s suburbs by protecting single-family zoning. The Radical Left wants to abolish the suburbs by forcing apartment complexes and low-income housing into the suburbs right next to your beautiful house,” he said. Trump also pledged to end mortgages for illegal aliens as well as overtime pay taxes, allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4877506-laura-loomer-trump-criticism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Far-right activist Laura Loomer’s visible presence alongside former President Trump in recent days is sparking questions about her influence and a substantial amount of criticism from figures aligned with the GOP presidential nominee. Loomer is an outspoken Trump supporter who is known for spreading conspiracy theories and using racist rhetoric. She flew on Trump’s plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and was part of his entourage as he attended memorial events Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She does not have any official role with Trump’s campaign, multiple sources said. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch Trump ally, engaged in a heated and personal social media battle with Loomer over social platform X that began Wednesday night and carried into Thursday. Greene separately told reporters it would be a mistake to rely on Loomer for advice and that her rhetoric did not fit in with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters Wednesday, adding she was not privy to Trump’s conversations with Loomer. “I do know this, that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, it does not match MAGA, it does not match most Republicans I know,” Greene continued. “And I’m really denouncing it. I’m over it.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a strong ally of Trump in the Senate, on Thursday called out Loomer for racist comments about Vice President Harris, in which she used crude stereotypes to attack Harris’s Indian heritage. The remarks were also criticized by Greene. Graham said the remarks were “abhorrent” and noted Loomer also has made “disturbing” comments about Republicans. “I think that the president would serve himself well to make sure this doesn’t become a bigger story,” Graham told HuffPost. Loomer was spotted deplaning with Trump aides and family members Tuesday in Philadelphia ahead of the debate between the GOP nominee and Harris, and she was in the spin room that night. Some conservatives took note that Loomer was on the former president’s plane before the debate, during which Trump repeated a debunked claim shared by Loomer and others about migrants eating pets in an Ohio town. Loomer was again spotted with Trump’s crew when he visited a fire station in New York City to mark the anniversary of 9/11, and she posted video from his visit to Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed. When asked about Loomer’s presence at Wednesday’s events, a Trump campaign official said the day “wasn’t about anyone other than the souls who are no longer with us, their families, and the heroes who courageously stepped up to save their fellow Americans on that fateful day.” Trump attended a New York City memorial alongside President Biden and Harris that morning. Loomer was defiant Thursday as she found herself at the center of multiple articles and cable news segments. She said she does not work for Trump and claimed she was being targeted because of her work targeting politicians and media members. “I stand by everything I have said. I will not be deleting any tweets. I will not apologize for fighting for Donald Trump. I will not apologize for fighting for the truth and the American people,” Loomer posted on X. “The American people deserve people who fight instead of cowering in fear of the media,” she continued. “I don’t care about what they or any sellout member of Congress has to say about me.” This week was not the first time Trump has signaled he’s open to Loomer’s presence in his orbit. He congratulated her after she won a Florida House primary in 2020. Last year, Trump reportedly told advisers to give Loomer a campaign role for his White House bid. She ultimately did not join the campaign in any official capacity. Loomer has previously described Islam as a “cancer.” She was banned from ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft in 2017 after posting online that she “never want[s] to support another Islamic immigrant driver.” She was banned from then-Twitter after a series of anti-Muslim posts and was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform. Democrats, including the White House, blasted Loomer’s recent comments and argued Trump’s association with her should be a red flag for the American people. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday ripped Trump as a “conspiracy theory-peddling, racial arsonist and pathological liar.” He said Trump’s willingness to bring a conspiracy theorist like Loomer to a 9/11 event “should shock the conscience of all decent Americans.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Loomer’s most recent comments about Harris “repugnant” and “un-American.” “No leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness. This kind of racist poison … and who continues to fan these kinds of dangerous and insulting conspiracy theories,” she said.)

(COMMENT: I delivered mail part-time for the Park Forest Post Office while I took courses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I was in college, I worked at Bartley’s Burger Cottage in Cambridge, Mass. My hair and clothes smelled perpetually like grease, and I had to learn the precise composition of the “Kennedy Burger” and maybe 47 other burgers, but it was a great job. Other people I knew worked as dishwashers or waiters, in cheese shops, bookstores and cafes, or during the night shift in a grocery store.)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Downstate group behind movement to break free from Cook County (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes oppose this.)
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.)

— Biden-Harris admin working to ‘Trump-proof’ hundreds of DOJ jobs (COMMENT: 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.)
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.)

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/08/28/the-biden-harris-administration-sure-is-acting-like-trump-is-going-to-win-n4932054
(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.)

(COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors talked and acted like their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time wanted them to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.

WISCONSIN EXAMINER

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.)

ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE
— 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).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blagojevich — backed by his influential father-in-law, 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell — later ran for governor as a reformer, looking to succeed Republican Gov. George Ryan, who went to federal prison for corruption. In that case, underlings from Ryan’s tenure as secretary of state were found to have sold driver’s licenses for bribes, with some of that money being funneled into Ryan’s campaign fund. The fund became the first in American history to be indicted for racketeering.)

— Is Illinois a swing state this year? When it comes to presidential elections, Illinois has voted Democratic in the eight elections since 1988. However, in 1988 and the five presidential elections prior, Illinois voted Republican. (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government and they discriminate against their employees who are Republican. Starting in 1992 with Clinton’s election, because I was one of their extremely few employees who were Republican, my Democrat Chicago GAO superiors took even more adverse actions against me. Of course, they did not promote me. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) my earning job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They ever-increasingly treated me like I had not done any of the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who 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. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “Illinois Supreme Court upholds unconstitutionality of Democrats’ law banning slating of candidates. The Illinois Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that tossed out a law barring political parties from choosing candidates for the General Assembly when they had no one run in a primary election.”  (COMMENT: Would Republican organizations slate you to run for an office? Because I am much “too conservative” for the leaders of Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, they would never slate me to run for an office.)

NAPOLITAN INSTITUTE
— The majority of respondents in a poll published Friday said they believe a large amount of people who are in the country illegally will actually vote in November’s general election. The poll, conducted by the Napolitan News Service, found that 54% of respondents said they believe illegal immigrants will vote in November, and 75% of respondents said they do not support allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections. An even larger percentage of the survey takers (87%) support requiring voter ID in order to vote in federal elections, according to the poll.

They took many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

DAILY HERALD
— The way out of the circus on display in Chicago – Kathy Salvi
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240820/columns/the-way-out-of-the-circus-on-display-in-chicago/
(FROM THE LETTER: Well, here we go: the circus is in town. No, I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey — at least they’re entertaining — but rather the Democratic National Convention. This week we will be force fed speeches from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and endure the woke primping and preening spewed from the Democrat mouthpieces on stage. Chicago is a fitting city for the Democrats to hold their convention: it is a great city in slow decay due to backward leftist and authoritarian policies. Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. Cost of living is sky high because Illinois is among the most-taxed states in the nation. All of these problems are due to blue rule, and they will be on full display for everyone visiting Chicago for the circus. The Democrats have had a tough act to follow this year. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a sight to see and an emotional event in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It was a display of unity that has been downplayed by the media across the country, and Republicans are united behind our ticket up and down the ballot. And I should mention — our top of the ticket candidate was actually voted for by the members of our party. We call that “democracy.” Conversely, the Democrats’ convention will be one filled with what we’ve come to expect from Democrats here in Illinois: false promises, gaslighting and manufactured hype behind a candidate who won’t do interviews. We’re seeing the Democrat propaganda machine whirring in full force propping up Kamala Harris after she unceremoniously ousted her boss from his candidacy without a single vote from the people. Anywhere else, that’s called a coup. Kamala Harris has yet to give an interview since being installed without a single Democrat vote. She chose a radical leftist VP who misrepresented his record. Stolen valor. Ask his own chaplain. The only candidate worse than Walz — and even Harris rejected the idea — would have been Illinois’ own failed governor, J.B. Pritzker. Sadly, we have not heard about any of the real issues and how Democrats will attempt to fix them. They have not talked about fixing the open southern border that has festered under Kamala Harris’ watch. The Democrats won’t touch the high cost of living imposed on people in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the country. They won’t give any concrete or real solution to the crime plaguing communities across the country or the corruption within their own Democratic Party from the United States Senate to Dolton, Illinois. Truth be told, there is a silver lining to the Democratic National Convention being in town here. Voters are seeing that there is no real plan coming from the Democrats. There are no real policies they’re running on. Americans are choking on their progressive nightmare, and the Democrats keep doubling down. Make no mistake, we here in Illinois are hurting. Workers are hurting. Families are hurting. Children are hurting, small businesses are hurting. No matter your political persuasion. We are one big hurt under the supermajority, Democrat domination in Illinois. And what has it delivered? A flight from Illinois, an unbearable tax burden on ordinary people, an unsustainable pension crisis, crime-ridden neighborhoods, unaffordable food & gas prices. All of this brought to us by the Illinois Democratic Party. Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the two U.S. Senate seats, 14 out of 17 congressional seats and a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate as well as the mayor’s office here in Chicago. Their only use for the Republican Party is to ridicule its sound policies and trigger hatred in those from whom they seek money to pursue even more power. We Republicans are scrappy and will fight, fight, fight our battle at the ballot box. In an analysis of those cities in Illinois run by Republican mayors here in Illinois, the air is fresher and the people happier. As I pen this commentary, most families, workers and small businesses in Illinois are awakening to host of problems brought on by the mistakes of our political leaders, mistakes that have increased our tax burden, dumbed down our public educational institutions and made our streets unsafe in which to travel. During the rest of the Democratic National Convention, open your ears to the truth and ask yourself: does the carnivalesque display I am watching reflect the America that I know and love? Illinois, there is a way out of this nightmare: wake up — Vote Republican.)

ABC NEWS
— Democrats say “Duckworth at DNC gets personal about IVF journey.” I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who had children and who used against me the most a) that my and my wife gave up trying to have children with trying IVF and b) that we did not adopt or become foster parents.  I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because we did not have children. They knew full-well that both of us had serious fertility problems. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. I would focus on my GAO superiors who adopted, whose spouse had little or no income, who complained about the tremendous amount of time and money it costs to raise children. I would focus on my GAO superiors who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that that I lied about our efforts to have children and that if my wife and I had children, I never would have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.

— Democrats say “Michelle Obama, Thrashing Trump, Suggests the Presidency Is a ‘Black Job.’ The former first lady enthralled a packed arena on Tuesday evening with one of the Democratic National Convention’s most emphatic takedowns of Donald J. Trump.” I should write a book that compares and contrasts Michelle Obama with me. I would compare and contrast the opportunities that she has had with the opportunities that I have had. I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. All my coworkers who my IRS and then GAO superiors promoted over me where Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, no professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)
