— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Student enrollment at Illinois’ regional universities is plummeting. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, demographics trump everything. I earned a) a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 46, and 48, and d) a professional license when I was 32 I spent a tremendous amount of time and money doing the aforesaid. But could I find the motivation to do the aforesaid if I was young today? From what I see, fewer and fewer and fewer of those share demographics seek college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses. From what I see, it is because of ever-increasing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it is because of ever-increasing race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Young people with my demographics ever-increasingly believe that it is not only not worth the effort, but that it is impossible. From what I see, ever-increasingly, America is up-or-out for those who share my demographics. If you share my demographics, you are written off and gotten rid of if you are not making say $150,000+/year by age 25, $200,000+/year by age 30, $250,000+/year by age 35, $400,000+/year by age 40, etc. In the federal government, the earnings deadlines are $117,807 by age 25, $139,211 by age 30, $163,749 by age 35, and $195,200 by age 40. Extremely few of those who share my demographics are able to meet those earnings deadlines. Because of my demographics and because I did not make any of the aforesaid earnings deadlines, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me.

— Want to retire early? Ask yourself 4 questions. I did not want to retire early. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. Being forced to retire early is devastating. I should write about that. Your critics/opponents use it against you big time. You have far less money for the rest of your life.

— For The First Time In 40 Years, The Federal Government Can Judge Applicants By Merit. 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. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment examination and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

25 NEWS NOW
— Illinois Republicans invite President Trump to Chicago
https://www.25newsnow.com/2025/09/02/illinois-republicans-invite-president-trump-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Democrats in Illinois are sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump’s plan to bring troops to Chicago, a Republican group agrees with his efforts to make the streets safer. The Illinois Freedom Caucus held a safety press conference this morning to express their support for President Trump’s efforts. Many of them criticized democrats for opposing federal government support to help reduce crime. This comes after a violent Labor Day weekend in Chicago, when 59 people were shot, and eight people were killed. Republican State Rep. Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills) questioned Democratic leaders as to why they think sending troops is a real threat to communities in Chicago. “I can’t believe that we’re talking about why it is threatening to increase public safety in these communities. To me, it is a public safety issue that can be addressed. It has been addressed successfully in D.C., let’s bring it to Illinois, and the true threat is to the politicians who have failed the mothers and the families are calling for it,” said McLaughlin. There have been more than 300 homicides this year alone in Chicago, but the city has seen a slow, downward trend in recent years.)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/09/02/ice-officers-hiring-trump-immigration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So far, the Department of Homeland Security said it has received more than 130,000 applications, and if the hiring fair in this community wedged between Dallas and Fort Worth offers any indication, plenty of people are eager to sign up. Despite polls showing that growing numbers of Americans disapprove of Trump’s aggressive tactics and images of masked ICE agents whisking immigrants off the streets, 3,000 applicants showed up to submit résumés at last week’s career expo, drawn in part by the president’s call to serve and the promise of a signing bonus of up to $50,000 for top recruits. . .The agency has lifted age caps for applicants and encouraged retired law enforcement officers to rejoin the ranks. The age cap for deportation officers — the role ICE was primarily recruiting for in Texas — used to be 40.)

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)
INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Not College Material. I was not viewed as being college material. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness.

The crowd has gotten bigger and the politicians — a campaigning George W. Bush one year — come and go, he said. . .It’s a surprise that so few labor groups show up, a far cry from the union-dominated festivities held in Chicago, he noted.)

Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I started with almost 3 years of federal seniority and lots of reinstated unused sick leave because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years while I earned my bachelor’s degree.

— My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I was a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I improperly benefitted from being a union member during that time, that is, that if I had not been a union member, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— How to Be Instantly Happier at Work: Stop Eating Lunch at Your Desk. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO in 1980 and 1992-1997, I often did homework while I ate lunch. I took courses at UIC 1966-1968, NIU in 1969, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, and IIT 1992-1997.

— Should you buy a house? 8 signs you’re ready. Back in the good old days, back when I was 24 years old in 1972, I was able to buy a new town home after a) working for IRS for 15 months and b) working for part-time Firestone Stores for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that During that time, I was also able to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and pay for graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972.

— All of the lawyers assigned to the Justice Department’s Sanctuary Cities Enforcement task force have now resigned, with the final member departing this week, after claiming they were not given substantive legal duties. To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They purposely wasted what I had learned about IRS working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS.
