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.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois State Board of Education rebuffs Trump administration demand to reject DEI in schools. The Education Department said states risk federal funding if they don’t end DEI programs the feds deem illegal. Illinois said it already pledges to comply with anti-discrimination laws. DEI is discrimination. DEI programs give preference to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, that is, DEI programs discriminate against those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

— What discrimination have you faced and why? What retaliation have you suffered because you complained? Because I opposed my Democrat federal superiors’ political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with discrimination in 1988, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969, forced me to resign in 1969, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer between agencies in 1980, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— Democrats run the federal government. If I had become a Democrat, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service before I was 40 years old in 1988. I say that because a) I earned an MBA when I was 27, a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and a master’s degree in finance when I was 48, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt when I was 30 and 32, c) I became a licensed CPA when I was 32, and d) I earned additional job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 46, and 48.

https://www.christianpost.com/news/wheaton-alumni-single-out-critical-race-theorist-professor.html
(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.)

— We Had Been Scraping By on Two Paychecks. Now We Have One. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, a) my GAO salary was $153,151/year and b) my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $66,780/year. That means that my wife and I have had $86,371/year less income since 1997.

— Republicans in Congress are drafting a tax bill that raises the state and local tax deduction cap for individuals from $10,000 to $25,000. 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.

— Amazon CEO promotes meritocracy. My critics/opponents do not promote meritocracy. Instead, they promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promote a) race and gender based preference giving, b) patronage, c) political affiliation discrimination, d) reverse discrimination, e) age discrimination, f) religious discrimination, and g) national origin discrimination.

April 2, 2025
All eight Republican township candidates on my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 ballot lost because the Democrats in the township, including my precinct, voted for the Democrat candidates to punish Trump. How successful were your Republican township candidates? Ever since my wife and I moved to Milton Township in 1978, all of the Milton Township elected officials have been Republican. Since 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I have done much to help elect and reelect Republican Milton Township candidates, including hand-delivering their campaign literature to the residences in my precinct (currently 400) that have at least one Republican or one Independent registered voter.

They used Gingrich budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. The agency shrank from more than 6,000 to less than 3,000. It was almost always under hiring and/or promotion freezes. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— 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.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly highlight Republican federal employees who have been harmed my Trump’s actions. 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.
