— Trump admin plans to impose 4-year limits for foreign students studying in US. The new rule would end a decades-old policy allowing students to stay for the duration of their studies. Because I took only one evening course at a time, it took me 4 long years to earn my MBA from Loyola in 1976 (16 courses), it took me 4 long years to earn my master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 (12 courses), and it took me 5 long years to earn my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 (14 courses), I took only one course at a time because a) that was what I could afford in terms of time and money and b) my focus was my IRS and GAO jobs. But because of age discrimination, my delay in my earning my aforesaid degrees cost me dearly.

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump, Gabbard fired top CIA Russia expert days after Alaska summit. The CIA officer was due to take up a prestigious assignment in Europe approved by CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Instead, her security clearance was summarily revoked. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors acted like my Black CPA subordinate had threatened to leave GAO if they did not get rid of me. If I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. My Black CPA subordinate a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had one job-related professional certification while I had six, and d) no job-related professional license like the one I had. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

I was a wage earner 1964-1997 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumped more gasoline, collected delinquent taxes, and audited federal agencies.

WASINGTON POST
— FEMA employees put on leave after criticizing Trump administration in open letter. I did far more at GAO. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I was the only GAO Chicago office employee to do that. My Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career. They gave me a very bad job assignment. They gave me very unfair performance expectations. They gave me a very unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and then always ranked me in the bottom half. They forced me to retire when I was 49. I should write about the aforesaid. The more of the following that federal employees are, the fewer Civil Service protections that they have: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and if their ancestors have been in America for a long time.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘Squad’ member Rep. Delia Ramirez puts America second at gathering in Mexico City. Illinois native’s GOP colleague calls for her deportation.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/5/squad-member-rep-delia-ramirez-puts-america-second-leftist-gathering/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Delia Ramirez took the stage at a leftist conference in Mexico City over the weekend and declared that she was more proud of her Guatemalan heritage than her American citizenship. The Illinois Democrat, who attended the Panamerican Congress with fellow members of the House’s left-wing “Squad,” told the crowd in Spanish that she was “a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” In the U.S., her remarks were met with questions about her allegiance to the voters who elected her and calls for her to be deported. “These Democrats’ comments are despicable and underscore their commitment to putting Americans last,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement. “In stark contrast, President Trump is working tirelessly to secure peace deals, deport illegal alien criminals and advance America’s interests at home and abroad.” Ms. Ramirez has seldom been in the political spotlight. She has described herself as the “daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants.” She also has boasted that she is the only lawmaker in Congress “in a mixed-status family.” Her husband, Boris, is a Dreamer, or someone brought to the U.S. illegally as a child. Other House Democrats attending the Panamerican Congress, a gathering of leftist politicians from throughout the Americas, included Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Jesus G. Garcia of Illinois. The Panamerican Congress concluded with pronouncements condemning the U.S. persecution of migrants and Israel’s aggression in the Gaza Strip. Ms. Ramirez’s speech garnered the most attention in the U.S. Rep. Andrew Ogles, Tennessee Republican, wrote in a post on X: “Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off the Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.” Rep. Claudia Tenney, New York Republican, said it’s “embarrassing” that the Democratic Party “no longer even pretends to put America first.” Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative Turning Point USA, said, “Any person who values any other country over America does not belong in Congress. Period.” Ms. Ramirez doubled down on her Mexico City speech with a post Monday on social media. “Honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America. That is the truth I carry with me always. And it is a truth that many Americans carry with them,” she said. “Anyone who denies our claims on this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant roots only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is.” She called the attacks on her “a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government.” “It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress — who betray their oath each day they enable Trump — are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots,” Ms. Ramirez said. The Department of Homeland Security responded to Ms. Ramirez with a quote from former President Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. … Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” Other Squad members have experienced travails similar to Ms. Ramirez’s. Ms. Omar, an immigrant from Somalia, was criticized last year after she said that, according to one translation, she was serving in Congress to “protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.” She later said the widely shared translation was wrong and she was actually saying she was advocating for the U.S. to take a particular position in a dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia. Democrats are showing increasing hostility to Mr. Trump and, by extension, the government he controls, particularly concerning immigration. In New Jersey, Rep. LaMonica McIver faces federal charges after a clash with Homeland Security Department agents at a migrant detention facility. The Democrat was captured on video throwing elbows at officers amid a scuffle over whether a local mayor should be allowed access to the detention center. In Mexico City, Ms. Ramirez and her Democratic colleagues were attending the second annual Panamerican Congress. The event is billed as a gathering of delegates from countries “across the hemisphere with an ambitious agenda that ranges from equality to prosperity, solidarity to sovereignty.” Event attendees criticized U.S. immigration policy under Mr. Trump. Gerardo Fernandez Norona, president of the Mexican Senate, talked about the “persecution of migrants in the United States.” He called it “unjust, infamous and incorrect persecution where just for being a migrant, and just for your skin color or nationality, you are persecuted.”)

FEDERALIST

https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/05/homeland-security-committee-member-says-shes-loyal-to-a-different-homeland/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The founders knew our republic could not survive if its people — let alone leaders — were filled with foreign attachments. Forty-two years ago, a pregnant Guatemalan woman illegally crossed the Rio Grande River and gave birth to a baby who now has “birthright” citizenship. Today, that child sits in Congress — proudly declaring her allegiance to the country her mother left behind. This is the predictable result of a broken immigration system — one that has allowed the mass importation of both legal and illegal aliens regardless of their capacity or willingness to assimilate into the country. “I am a proud Guatemalan before I am American,” Illinois Democrat Rep. Delia Ramírez said in Spanish during the opening remarks of the second annual Panamerican Congress in Mexico City. Notably, she sits on the House Homeland Security Committee — a committee dedicated to protecting the homeland.)

They had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985. They had forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had hired me in 1980 and who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me in 1986. They had delayed my promotions, had never promoted me beyond GS-13, and had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Plaintiff optimistic, DOJ interested in case against Illinois elections board
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_748c769f-a4b8-463a-b8a1-873b7c66c20a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A legal case is moving forward against the Illinois State Board of Elections over allegations that the state failed to maintain voter registration lists. Former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the National Voter Registration Act requires the state to perform list maintenance and remove ineligible voters. U.S. District Court Judge Sara L. Ellis dismissed two plaintiffs from the case last week, but Ives’ group, Breakthrough Ideas, was not dismissed and retains standing as a plaintiff along with Illinois Family Action. The groups filed suit with Judicial Watch attorneys in March of 2024. Ives said it’s obvious that voter lists are not well-maintained in Illinois. “This creates extra costs people should not have to incur and it wastes time as well, not to mention it invites fraud when you do not have cleaned-up voter lists,” Ives told The Center Square. Ives said the dead have voted in Illinois. “I’ve pointed out a couple of dead people that I know casted votes, and there was no adequate explanation for why that occurred. Because they were not cleaned off the voter roll, it invited fraud one way or another. In the state of Illinois, this becomes even more problematic when you have permanent vote by mail,” Ives explained. “So you will have ballots being sent to people that are possibly moved or dead, which makes list maintenance even more important in the state of Illinois.” Ives said 23 Illinois counties with a combined registration list of 980,089 voters reported removing only 100 registrations over a two-year period. “That is an absurdly small number. There is no possible way those counties were conducting a general program that makes an effort to clean up the voter rolls, because only a hundred people died in 23 counties? Nobody believes that, so we know that they’re not doing what they should do,” Ives said. On July 8, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a 15-page statement of interest in the case. “When Illinois voters cast their ballots, they should be confident that their vote is given its due weight, undiluted by ineligible voters,” the statement began. “It is critical to remove ineligible voters from the registration rolls so that elections are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in a press release regarding the statement of interest. “Under the NVRA, states have the responsibility to conduct a robust program of list maintenance. The Department of Justice will vigorously enforce those requirements to ensure compliance.” Ives said the case could have ramifications across the country. She said it is possible that the DOJ will file its own lawsuit. As for what’s next, Ives said parties were waiting for a written ruling and it’s possible there could be a hearing later this month. Ives said she suspects there could be a settlement in the case.)

BUSINESS BECAUSE
— Career Success. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are not successful unless they make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Since 1973, my critics/opponents have stressed that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The following frustrated my making the aforesaid promotion deadlines: a) I avoided the Vietnam Warr draft, b) I did not become a Democrat, c) I did not major in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970, d) I was not a minority, female, or veteran, e) I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, f) I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40, g) I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, h) I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, i) I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, j) I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination util I was 32, and k) I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.

— Melania Trump Reveals Barron Trump’s Living Situation For College. Like Barron, I lived with my parents while I attended college. I lived with them in Crete while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends while I attended NIU during the winter/spring of 1969, and the summer of 1969.
https://www.aol.com/melania-trump-reveals-barron-trumps-120119348.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.” That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus. Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump’s threat of towering tariffs on European booze is sobering. Wine and spirits can be markers of national and regional identity — which could make a coming trade fight between the U.S. and Europe much more emotional. The Democrat GAO Chicago office manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my career and to get rid of me was an extremely big drinker. If he had not had to go on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his big drinking, the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 would not have been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote me in 1986.

My critics/opponents despise/hate cars, and especially American nameplate cars, and more especially muscle cars, and even more especially Corvettes. I have owned American nameplate cars since 1964, muscle cars since 1966, a 1972 Corvette since 1971, and a 2005 Corvette since 2005.

Their rulings tremendously discourage those who share my demographics from applying to work for GAO. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and I have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I have three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

They were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.

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 who was minority, female, younger, or veteran who would take the job. For the Post Office job, I had passed the postal employment examination and I had earned a high school diploma. For the IRS job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU. For the GAO job, I had earned an MBA from Loyola, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

NBC5
— Appeals court allows Trump to remove Office of Special Counsel (OSC) ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger — for now (COMMENT: OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors took many big adverse actions against me a) because I blew the whistle on their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 years old in 1988 that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/business/money-report/appeals-court-allows-trump-administration-to-remove-federal-ethics-watchdog/3689910/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The Special Counsel’s job is to look into and expose unethical or unlawful practices directed at federal civil servants, and to help ensure that whistleblowers who disclose fraud, waste, and abuse on the part of government agencies can do so without suffering reprisals,”)
— DOGE recommends closing multiple Social Security offices across the U.S., including in Illinois. The proposed closure comes after reports that the Social Security Administration is preparing to lay off least 7,000 people from its workforce. (COMMENT: My Medicare is more than my Social Security. That may explain why I did not get a SSA-1099. But the Social Security website would not let me request one and no one answered at Social Security after hours of being in hold.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— Appeals court rules that Trump can remove head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). OSC did not come to my defense when my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors took many big adverse actions against me a) because I blew the whistle on their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit when I was 40 years old in 1988 that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

It investigates whistleblower claims of reprisal, can pursue disciplinary action against employees who punish whistleblowers and provides a channel for employees to disclose government wrongdoing.)

That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my three job-related master’s degrees, c) my six job-related professional certifications, and d) my job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were the aforesaid and a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had. – Dave Diersen
