— Tech giants including Oracle, Lockheed Martin quietly fund Trump’s military parade
https://nypost.com/2025/06/13/business/oracle-amazon-lockheed-martin-quietly-funding-trumps-military-parade/
— Ram admitted it screwed up by killing a legacy American-made engine known for its raw power — and is revved up to bring it back after facing major backlash. The automaker had discontinued the beloved HEMI V-8 engine from its 2025 Ram trucks as part of a “woke” pivot by the since-ousted CEO of parent company Stellantis Carlos Tavares. But new Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, who came out of retirement last year, offered up a mea culpa over the decision to pull the plug on the engine that powered the top-selling truck for decades. My 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max has a HEMI.

RIVER BENDER
— Accounting Major Ralph Wideman Delivers Address At Illinois High School Diploma Graduation. Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Pritzker grows state spending most among past 5 Illinois governors
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/pritzker-grows-state-spending-most-among-past-5-illinois-governors/
— Lawmakers should look outside of Springfield when choosing a fiscal watchdog. What if lawmakers had chosen me instead of Mautino? When they chose Mautino, I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, and almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I was a licensed CPA and a Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I had master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/lawmakers-should-look-outside-of-springfield-when-choosing-a-fiscal-watchdog/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois will soon be seeking a new top fiscal watchdog, but how it picked the current one shows it should change how it picks the next one. Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino is set to retire after a decade in the position and 24 years as a state lawmaker before that, according to reporting from the Illinoize. His campaign spending came under scrutiny and ended with ethics violations, a federal criminal investigation and a refusal to respond to requests for information. The auditor general’s job is to monitor how public funds are spent in the state. The state constitution puts Mautino’s replacement solely in the hands of the General Assembly. Lawmakers picked one of their own when they chose Mautino. His replacement should not be one of their own, or any long-time Springfield insider. The person should be independent and an outsider with a clean record. Mautino’s proved to be spotty, to say the least.)

I was a NTEU member 1971-1980.

ALTERNET
— Alarm raised on new federal ‘hiring plan’ that quizzes applicants about Trump. 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, of veteran who would take the job. My qualifications include a) passing the postal employment test and earning a high school diploma in 1966, b) passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, d) earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) earning a job-related professional license in 1981.
https://www.alternet.org/trump-opm-hiring-guidelines/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) unveiled new hiring guidelines on Thursday, May 29, describing them as a “merit hiring plan.” And according to a joint memo from acting OPM Director Charles Ezell and Vince Haley, director of President Donald Trump’s Domestic Policy Council, job applicants are being quizzed on their favorite Trump policies. One of the four essay questions applicants are being asked reads, “How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant executive orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.” The Ezell/Haley memo underscored the Trump Administration’s disdain for DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies, using anti-affirmative action rhetoric. Ezell and Haley wrote, “The American people deserve a federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory ‘equity’ quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled, bureaucrats.” The memo called for federal government agencies to abandon any use of “racial quotas and preferences” and refrain from collecting data “regarding the composition of the agency’s workforce based on race, sex, color, religion or national origin.” A federal resources official believes the new guidelines will be a source of stress for both applicants and hiring managers. The official, interviewed on condition of anonymity, told the Government Executive website, “Everything in it will make it more difficult to hire, not less. How the f— do you define if someone is patriotic?”)

My mother had never worked outside of the home. My brother was having troubles. I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them. I needed a job. Potential employers saw me as being draft bait. I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was a job that did not really require a college degree. I started taking graduate evening business courses, but only one at a time. Because of that, I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27. By then, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 4 years because again, I took only one graduate evening accounting course at a time. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, again, it was too late. I did not earn a master’s degree in finance from IIT until I was 48. By then, again, it was too late. It took me 5 years because again, I took only one graduate evening finance course at a time. Why did I take only one graduate evening course at a time? Because that was all that I could afford in terms of time, attention, and money. Age discrimination is real, and especially for those who are White, male, and/or non-veteran. It is called up-or-out.

— Stellantis to Halt Windsor Charger Production for One Week. 3,800 Workers Temporarily Laid Off as Stellantis Reacts to U.S. Tariff Fallout.
https://moparinsiders.com/stellantis-to-halt-windsor-minivan-and-charger-production-for-one-week/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This is the second time in just over a month that production has been halted at the facility, which builds the Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Grand Caravan, Chrysler Voyager, and both the gas-powered Dodge Charger and electric Charger Daytona. Stellantis had previously shut the plant down for two weeks in April to evaluate the impact of new 25% U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles. The tariffs, introduced by the Trump administration on April 3, apply to vehicles with a significant amount of non-U.S. content. They’ve already shaken up the North American auto industry, especially for companies like Stellantis that rely on cross-border production. . .But behind the scenes, it’s clear the broader trade environment is weighing heavily. During the company’s Q1 2025 earnings call, Stellantis CFO Doug Ostermann acknowledged that the automaker is actively looking at relocating some production and supply chains to the U.S. to avoid the steep import duties. “It’s something that we’re working very hard on,” said Ostermann. “To think through how quickly can we make those changes to mitigate any tariff impacts?” Meanwhile, workers at the Windsor plant—many of whom were just called back from a two-week layoff in April—are once again facing an uncertain week ahead. With both minivan and Charger output affected, this could be a sign of bigger shifts coming for Stellantis’ North American operations.)

I bought a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max in 2012 and I continue to own it. I recently bought a new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Plus EV.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A senior gentleman has been keeping the Dodge Charger in a storage facility for he can’t even remember how long. The car hides under a thick layer of dust that leaves its original color to the imagination. Will it shine and drive again, or should it already be on its way to the scrap yard? The 96-year-old owner of the 57-year-old Dodge Charger is Peter. He has big plans for the car he used to drive and rock the streets with back in the day. He remembers that his wife didn’t like the car. “It was a little louder than necessary,” he recalls. He wants to restore it to its former glory. The time has come for that car to run and drive again. He can’t even remember the last time he drove it, but assumes that it has been in the storage facility for around 30 years. That’s three decades away from the sunlight and off the road. Surprisingly, the tires still hold air and a few more goodies of the era. The Fratzog logo shows up on the dashboard. It is the iconic triangle-like badge that Dodge brought back with the Charger Daytona EV.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250425/business/car-condo-project-pitched-for-lake-zurich-would-include-clubhouse-luxury-car-dealership/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The developer of the Sanctuary of Lake Zurich residential community wants to build a different kind of condo project in town. Luxury still would be the watchword but these units would be used to store classic and rare cars, some worth millions of dollars. And there is a ready market, says Romeo Kapudija. “It’s shocking to me how many rare cars are out there and how much they’re valued at but this is a very popular business model right now and type of development and they’re selling out across the country,” he explained to the Lake Zurich village board this week during a courtesy review of Luxe Corsa Car Condominiums. . .Kapudija said the market is hot for these types of developments, referencing Iron Gate in Naperville and another planned in Barrington as examples of their popularity. Iron Gate Motor Condos was among the first in Illinois to offer space exclusively for classic, collector or exotic vehicles. Ground was broken on 50 acres near Interstate 88 and Route 59 in 2014. “Proof of concept didn’t exist when I started,” said commercial builder, car enthusiast and founder Tom Burgess. “I had to go out of state and bring in people who could explain it” to city officials. Popularity fueled expansion to include 40,000 square feet of auto-related retail. “It turned into more than just the condos,” he said. “There’s a huge car community in Chicagoland. It’s deep and broad. It’s amazing.”)

(COMMENT: With IRS Enforcement Increasing in 2025, Clear Start Tax Reminds Americans They Still Have Time to Resolve Back Taxes Through Relief Programs. As the IRS steps up its collection efforts in 2024, more Americans are receiving notices, facing wage garnishments, or dealing with tax liens. In response, Clear Start Tax is urging taxpayers with unresolved IRS debt to act quickly and explore relief options under the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, a program designed to help individuals and businesses resolve back taxes affordably. The IRS recently announced renewed funding and a more aggressive stance on collections, which means taxpayers who have ignored or delayed addressing their debt could face heavier enforcement actions in the months ahead. The Urgency of Exploring Debt Resolution Programs As IRS collection efforts intensify, it’s critical for taxpayers with unresolved debt to act before enforcement escalates. The IRS Fresh Start Initiative offers structured programs designed to ease that burden, including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. These options can reduce penalties, halt wage garnishments or levies, and in many cases, allow taxpayers to resolve their debt for significantly less than the full amount owed.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump signed a groundbreaking executive order Thursday eliminating the use of disparate impact theory by the feds. The order “restores the true promise of the Civil Rights Movement—a system that does not differentiate between Americans based on race and where success is determined by individual merit, free from discriminatory practices that prioritize group outcomes over personal achievement.” Disparate impact theory says that any disparity must be the result of discrimination, bigotry, and racism of some kind or another. So for example, if more white people than non-white people pass a firefighter’s exam, then it must be because of racism.

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Probationary employees face stricter review process under new executive order. If my Democrat GAO superiors could have used probationary procedures to get rid of me, they would have. My doing the following after I transferred from IRS to GAO in early 1980 frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2025/04/probationary-employees-face-stricter-review-process-under-new-executive-order/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Probationary employees will now have an additional hurdle to clear before they can solidify their federal employment, according to an executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday evening. Trump’s new order calls for the creation of “Civil Service Rule XI,” which will require agencies to review and actively sign off on probationary workers’ continued employment before they can be moved out of a probationary period. Federal employees are put into probationary periods when they first enter the civil service, or when they begin a new position, for example after getting a promotion. Once a probationary period ends — usually after one or two years of federal service — employees will automatically transition out of probationary status. “Instead of these employees becoming tenured civil servants by default, Rule XI requires agencies to affirmatively certify that finalizing their appointment after their probationary or trial period concludes advances the public interest,” the White House wrote Thursday in a fact sheet detailing the intentions of the executive order. Under current federal regulations, agencies can only remove probationary employees for issues with performance or conduct. Those rules around probationary periods spurred litigation involving the recent mass terminations of tens of thousands of probationary employees. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court blocked an order for the Trump administration to reinstate the probationary employees. Trump’s new executive order, however, adds a new reason that probationary employees can be removed from their jobs. Under the new “Civil Service Rule XI,” agencies can also determine whether a probationary employee should remain in their job based on agency needs and the interest of the public. “It alters the reason for letting a probationer go to include the generic needs and interests of the agency, as opposed to the individual’s performance or conduct,” Debra D’Agostino, an attorney and partner at Federal Practice Group, said in an interview. “It adds this generic reason where the agency can decide that it’s not in the needs or interest of the agency to keep this person.” “Usually, if someone’s not going to satisfy their probation, it’s going to be because of performance or conduct,” Kevin Owen, a partner at Gilbert Employment Law, added. “If the administration is going to start interjecting some sort of ideological component, we’re going to start again sliding into some level of a spoils system here.”)
