The article hints/implies/argues/shouts that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980 a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) were taken by me to qualify me for a “new trade or business,” and e) were a distraction. Money Magazine and IRS would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or 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 wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO political consultants,  major donors, fundraisers, and pollsters want Republican candidates to lose.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: National Republicans are expecting a strong off-year election, thanks to Democratic President Joe Biden’s sagging poll numbers. But Illinois remains a solid blue state, where Democrats hold the governor’s office, both U.S. Senate seats, supermajorities in the state House and Senate and a majority on the Illinois Supreme Court. At the same time, Democrats drew a favorable (to them) congressional map, one they expect guarantees victory in 14 of the state’s 17 U.S. House districts. Plus, Democrats have unlimited funds, thanks to multibillionaire Pritzker’s use of his personal fortune to fund party activities and candidates. Facing formidable opposition, what’s the GOP to do? So far, it has four official candidates for governor — lawyer and former Illinois Senate member Paul Schimpf, businessmen Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan, and state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia. It has one candidate for secretary of state, state Rep. Dan Brady of Bloomington. Other than that, no credible candidate has stepped forward to seek the nominations for state treasurer, comptroller or attorney general. . .Some Republicans may yearn for an all-powerful kingmaker with a bundle of cash to spend on a slate of candidates. But the notion that Republican voters are waiting to hear from Griffin as to whom they’ll nominate is a stretch. Slate-making has a long history in the Democratic Party, particularly in Cook County. But former GOP state party Chairman Pat Brady said “the reality is that Republicans do not have a history as a slate-making party.” “We don’t slate” candidates, said Pat Brady, who is supporting Rabine for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. That, of course, does not mean that the GOP’s four gubernatorial candidates won’t seek Griffin’s backing. Bailey already has been quoted as to why Griffin should back him, and the others can be expected to do the same — either in public or private. Griffin’s endorsement will be worth a lot to the favored Republican, perhaps more in the general election than in the primary where four candidates will divide the vote.)

— Virginia Parents Sue School District Over CRT Curriculum – Tom Ozimek (COMMENT: The following should be leading the fight against CRT: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) conservative and religious leaders, and d) Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.)
https://www.ntd.com/virginia-parents-sue-school-district-over-crt-curriculum_718969.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Parents in Virginia have sued Albemarle County School Board over so-called “anti-racist” curriculum materials that they allege are indoctrinating their children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT) that are actually racist at their core. The plaintiffs, nine parents and their children, filed the complaint (pdf) in Albemarle County Circuit Court on Dec. 22 with the help of attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a legal nonprofit. ADF said in a statement that the parents had filed suit against the school board for “enacting discriminatory policies and indoctrinating students in radical ideology,” violating students’ civil rights by treating them differently based on race. “Our clients believe that every person is made in the image of God, deserves respect, and therefore, should not be punished or rewarded for something over which they have no control,” ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson said in a statement. “Public schools have no right to demean students because of their race, ethnicity, or religion.”)

Your biggest investment is also losing value. What are Home Construction Defects? Construction defects come in various forms and produce a variety of problems for homeowners. Every state has different laws and statutes of limitation regarding construction policy.)
