— 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.

— Chicago Tribune offering newsroom buyouts. The Democrats who ran GAO on the 1990s used Gingrich budget cuts and buyouts and early outs to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. On October 1, 1993, when I was 45 years old and had 25 years of federal service, to get rid of me, they “offered” me a $25,000 buyout and early retirement. But I survived another 4 years. The following helped me survive: a) I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, b) I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, c) I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

— Far too many who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform and b) have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) read my newsletters and/or have their operatives and their dupes read them for opposition research. If you were me, how would you deal with that? Should I start naming them? I would start with those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

They have their operatives and their dupes destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

— Musk tries to rehab DOGE after backlash, mistakes. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it in the 1980s and 1990s, DOGE would not be needed today and I might still be a GAO employee. If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of that team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID) announces modernization program as financial crimes use more tech. GAO audits IRS. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO on audits of IRS’s CID 1986-1988 at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $117,807-$125,661/year. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I had learned about CID doing that. They also wasted what I had learned about IRS’s Collection Division. I worked for that Division 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year.

— Black Americans describe how being a federal worker was their path to the middle class — and the heartbreak of losing it. According to my critics/opponents, the jobs that I got in 1964 (washing dishes), 1966 (cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline), 1970 (working on an automobile assembly line and selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances), 1971 (pumping gasoline and collecting delinquent taxes), and 1980 (auditing federal agencies) and the promotions that I got in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986 should have been given to Blacks. 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. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had.

— The ‘Meritocracy’ Lie. The judges in Diersen v. GAO rejected meritocracy and promoted Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promoted race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about Diersen v. GAO.

— Trump wants to destroy unions. A general strike is the only way to fight back. I was a union member for almost 12 years 1966-1969 and 1971-1980. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used that against me the most.

— Federal union draws up lawsuit over Trump EO as RFK Jr. readies 10,000 HHS cuts. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized while I worked for it 1980-1997, the union would have sued Gingrich over his GAO budget cuts. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE and I might still be a GAO employee.
