GAO, I would have presented a jury with many examples in which my Democrat GAO superiors promoted over me their Democrat employees who were female, minority, and/or younger and who had less job-related work experience, less education, and/or fewer professional certifications and licenses than I had.

— Parents were fine with school vaccine mandates in the past, but COVID-19 may be a different story. COVID-19 vaccination has become politicized in a way that is unprecedented. Vaccinating school-aged children will be critical to controlling COVID-19, and lawmakers will need to proceed with caution. – James Colgrove

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.)

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.)
