(COMMENT: My critics/opponents want the following to muzzle me and to muzzle my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc. In my capacity as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor 2005-2019, I raised funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republican could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. This year, the aforesaid succeeded in muzzling me and muzzling my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters by stopping me from doing that.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/2/conservative-pundit-prager-says-he-feels-muzzled-b/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If I say the ‘wrong thing’ — whatever that might be — on my Fireside Chat podcast for PragerU, I can be yanked off YouTube or Facebook. When big business and big government work together to muzzle free speech, that’s fascism,” Mr. Prager said. The nationally syndicated talk show host’s comments came as his company PragerU continues to wage a long legal battle against Google’s YouTube. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled unanimously against Mr. Prager‘s claim of illegal censorship of conservatives. But Mr. Prager continues to allege that YouTube prevents PragerU from advertising videos due to unexplained violations of community guidelines, restricting other videos as likewise inappropriate and adding a disclaimer that the content may be factually incorrect. “Never in the history of this country has free speech been in such jeopardy. What’s even more shocking is that the threat is not coming directly from the government but from woke corporations,” Mr. Prager said.)

MICHIGAN DAILY
— APRIL 12, 2021 FLASHBACK: Republicans aren’t conservative anymore – Lydia Storella
(COMMENT: What should I say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that none of following came to my defense when Wheaton and the Wheaton Park District (WPD) stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, WPD, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, f) etc.?

Should one construe that the aforesaid will not seek a government or political office as a Republican in the future? Should one construe that the aforesaid have “moved to the left?” Should one construe that the aforesaid have become anti-conservative? Or should one construe that my critics/opponents have promised to destroy ANYONE who might come to my defense? If Wheaton and the WPD “let” me raise funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2022 Independence Day parade and fireworks like I did 2005-2019, will candidates on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County contribute? If not, why not?)

I should write a book about the aforesaid who made it the most clear that they wanted me to vote for Democrats. I would focus on a) my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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; b) my Democrat IRS superiors who did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors who forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

They subsequently expanded to also serve women, various ethnicities, gay people, veterans, individuals with disabilities, plus interests such as mental health and the environment. – Roughly 90% of major U.S. employers currently have ERGs, says Mr. Martin, based on the productivity institute’s research. He says the research also shows that the proportion of those employers with at least 10 groups has risen from a decade ago.)

MOTLEY FOOL
— 3 Times It Pays to Take a Pay Cut – Maurie Backman
(COMMENT: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a 21% percent pay cut ($20,361/year in today’s dollars) to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me. They had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They had ignored/dismissed/condemned the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, a) GAO would not have forced me to take a pay cut to transfer and b) IRS would not have taken the adverse actions against that it did.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it can lead to a better job.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Restraining order
(COMMENT: I should have gotten permanent restraining orders against all the defendants in all the lawsuits that I have filed. Better yet, I should file to get them now. I should write a book about the many adverse actions that the defendants have taken against me and continue to take against me.)

(COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. In Diersen v.

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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.)

— JANUARY 22, 2014 FLASHBACK: What is a Precinct Committeeman? – Doug Ibendahl
(COMMENT: I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I should write a book about how the following treat Republican Precinct Committeemen: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders, d) religious leaders, and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRO meetings and events. I served as the MTRO webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. I have attended all the IRP state conventions since 2000. Between 2005 and 2019 I raised many thousands of dollars from many scores of Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. All five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct in 2003. I organized Wheaton’s 2004 and 2005 9/11 ceremonies. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.)
