— 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.

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.

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.

They stressed to them if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29. b) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, c) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, d) pass on my first attempt the CPA examination when I was 30 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, e) become a licensed CPA when I was 32, or f) get married when I was 29.

— Musk Claims To Know The Net Worths Of Federal Employees – But How? (COMMENT: If you work for the federal government, your superiors and supervisors know everything about you, including your and your spouse’s income, assets, liabilities, dependents, etc. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates always painted themselves as be grossly underpaid and suffering tremendous financial hardships. Most commonly, they stressed the tremendous cost of raising their children. They were filled with envy and they were furious that my wife had a good job and that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We do find it sort of rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have, ostensibly, a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth,” he said. In reality, only 3% of the 2.4 million federal employees make more than $200,000 a year, while half make between $50,000 and $110,000 a year, according to government figures. Further, workers who have made six figures for a number of years could easily be worth seven figures, particularly those in their 50s or 60s who have been saving for retirement for decades and have considerable equity in their homes. But Musk’s assertion raises the more fundamental question about how he would know the financial situations of federal employees.)

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/27/us/politics/doge-staff-list.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The New York Times identified more than 50 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies. Few members have formal Washington experience. Many are software engineers. All seem to have a clear mandate: Shrink and disrupt the federal government. Mr. Musk’s team has taken aim at more than 20 agencies while gaining access to sensitive government data systems. But the full extent of its reach or ambitions is unclear. Much of the team’s operations are opaque, and most of its personnel have not been disclosed by the Trump administration, and it is unclear exactly how large the operation is. Through executive order, President Trump moved the team from the Office of Management and Budget, where it had been housed as the United States Digital Service since its founding, into the White House — a transition that effectively shielded its work from open records laws that could give the public insight into its operations. The list below includes some of Mr. Musk’s allies; engineers — many of whom are young men — with backgrounds in artificial intelligence; former employees; and others who have helped the operation. Several have recently deleted their social media accounts after their names appeared in news reports.)

For decades, lawmakers have used invited guests to put a human face on policy debates, underscoring the real-world consequences of decisions made in Washington. This year, as Trump touts what he calls a “historic transformation” of the federal government, Democrats are countering with stories of disruption and hardship—stories they hope will resonate beyond the chamber’s walls.)

My Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious when the manager who had arranged my transfer from IRS in 1980 and who was finally able to assign me to audits of IRS, promoted me when I was 38 years old in 1986. They forced him to retire in 1987, they threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, and they gave me an extremely inappropriate and bad job assignment and unfair performance expectations and appraisal in 1989. They would not have been able to do the aforesaid if GAO had been unionized. They somewhat backed off on their efforts to get rid of me after my Congressman Henry Hyde came to my defense later in 1989.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250227/illinois-state-politics/dupage-sheriff-announces-he-will-run-for-governor-in-2026/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Prompted by what he calls “radical” changes in Illinois’ criminal justice system, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick is skipping a potential third term as the county’s top cop and setting his sights instead on the governor’s mansion. Mendrick, a Republican from Woodridge, announced Thursday he will run for Illinois governor in the 2026 election. He’s the first candidate to formally declare for the race. In a phone interview Thursday, Mendrick said he’s been thinking about running for about two years, as he’s watched legislation like the state’s SAFE-T Act — which eliminated the cash bail system in Illinois — have what he sees as negative impacts on law and order. “It’s been very frustrating to me to see how many people (charged with a crime) are being let go, and the judges are saying they can’t do anything about it because of the law,” he said. “I’ve been in law enforcement 29 years — it will be 30 when I end my term as sheriff — and I’ve seen a lot of changes, but nothing as radical as the last four years.” Besides putting potentially dangerous people back on the streets, Mendrick said the law deprives defendants of opportunities to take part in his jail’s rehabilitation efforts, such as a gang tattoo removal program that’s received national acclaim. Mendrick first announced his intentions Thursday in an interview on WLS-AM’s Ray Stevens show and a Facebook post. He took aim at Gov. JB Pritzker in the latter, accusing the two-term Democrat of imposing policies that conflict with federal law and make communities less safe. “My family and I have decided that we want our State back,” he wrote. “We don’t like being fearful of crime that is randomly occurring now in our streets, homes and our retail stores due to soft on crime legislation. We don’t want to move out of Illinois like so much of our population. “Our culture is being eliminated by senseless laws created by our current government that persecutes cops and empowers criminals,” he added. “I’m here to stop the bleed.” Pritzker has not said whether he will run again in 2026. With a growing national profile as an outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump, his name also has been floated as a possible Democratic nominee for president in 2028. Press secretary Alex Gough said via email Thursday that nothing has changed regarding Pritzker’s reelection plans, and declined to comment on Mendrick’s announcement. Mendrick acknowledges that running for governor is a costly proposition, especially if he ultimately faces off with a self-funded billionaire like Pritzker. Even so, he said he didn’t make much effort to contact Republican leadership to line up support and fundraising before Thursday. “I think my message is strong enough that it will draw support,” he said, adding that he’s already been inundated with calls and messages from people offering support. “It’s overwhelming, but overwhelming in a good way.” DuPage GOP leaders said they’re excited about Mendick’s campaign and optimistic about its prospects. “It will be exciting to have one of our own from DuPage County on the top of the ticket,” said Kevin Coyne, chair of the DuPage County Republicans. “Crime is a top concern for Illinois voters, and no one can speak to that better than Sheriff Mendrick,” he added. “I think he has the ability to make it a competitive race.” Jim Zay, a longtime DuPage County Board member and former chairman of the DuPage GOP, said the decision to run for governor is something that Mendrick is “not taking lightly.” “I know Jim and many of us have been frustrated with the direction of Illinois for a while,” said Zay, a Carol Stream Republican. “He felt strongly enough with his views that he can make a difference and change the direction in which the state’s going. With his plans to leave the sheriff’s office next year, Mendrick said he will support Undersheriff Eddie Moore as his successor. “He has no equal in a race for DuPage County Sheriff,” he wrote on Facebook.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is preparing to fire thousands of workers next week, a move that could squeeze resources at the tax-collecting agency during the critical tax-filing season, a person familiar with the matter said. Officials from the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees federal hiring, ordered all agencies on Thursday to dismiss their probationary employees, who are newer to their positions and do not enjoy full civil service job protections.)

They stressed that I had known Rasins since the 1980s and that I had worked hard to help elect him DuPage County Auditor in 2000 and to help reelect him in 2004. They knew that I had recruited Rasins to speak at an Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter event in the 1990s. They ignored, dismissed, belittled, and badmouthed my qualifications. I had served as the AGA Chicago Chapter Treasurer 1983-1986. I had served as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer since 2003. I had worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117-807-$153,151/year: I had worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year.

— Trump closes down federal worker buyout offer after judge lifts hold (COMMENT: What is your position on buyouts and early retirement offers? In 1993, the Democrats who ran GAO “offered” $25,000 buyouts and early retirement to get rid of their employees who were Republican, older, White, male, non-veteran, GS-13, and/or had 25 years or more of federal service. I was “eligible,” that is, I was “targeted” because I was all of the aforesaid. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old just before their “offer” expired. If I had not succumbed, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. Their forcing me to retire wasted what I had learned a) working for GAO for 18 years and for IRS for 9 years, b) earning three job-related master’s degrees (finance-1997, accounting-1980, and business-1976), c) six job-related professional certifications (forensic accounting-1997, financial services auditing-1996, government financial management-1994, fraud examination-1990, internal auditing-1981, and accounting-1979) and d) earning a job-related professional license (CPA-1981).)

— Want to cut government waste? Pay congressional staffers more. (COMMENT: GAO fights government waste. But the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 used Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts to waste my career and to force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. They wasted what I had learned a) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5/12 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, c) earning a job-relate professional license (CPA), d) earning six job-related professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and e) earning three job-related master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance).)
https://www.aol.com/opinion-want-cut-government-waste-190000965.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are analysts at the Government Accountability Office who audit said agencies in response to the directives of Congress. But insofar as Congress is limited in its possession of the necessary “intelligence,” it has a correspondingly inadequate ability to specify the investigations and evaluations that GAO should conduct. Congressional limitations are the central problem here. The ability of our elected representatives to make optimally informed decisions about programs and budgets is constrained by the limited capabilities and numbers of congressional staff.

— Another IRS Program ‘Deleted’ by Musk (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Republicans deleted half of the agency’s positions. The agency was almost always under hiring and/or promotion freezes. My Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action, DEI, and up-or-out to punish me severely for that. They forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. The kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

(COMMENT: Elon Musk recently announced the elimination of the General Services Administration’s (GSA) tech arm, 18F, which helped develop the IRS Direct File program. The program, championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), faced criticism from conservatives as a form of government overreach. Musk confirmed on X that 18F was disbanded, claiming the move was part of his efforts to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce government expenses. Musk said, “That group has been deleted.”

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Auditing a $3 trillion mega economy sounds like the embodiment of easier said than done. A government is wise to periodically audit itself. And there is an agency for that, the GAO, Government Accountability Office, which on Feb 5th released a government 2025 Fiscal Health Report. The report finds that “the federal government is on an unsustainable fiscal path that poses serious economic, security, and social challenges.” Recommending “Congress and the administration will need to make difficult budgetary and policy decisions to address the key drivers of federal debt and change the government’s fiscal trajectory.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency says it’s looking for the “top 1%” of people. DOGE says it’ll expect its staff to work 80-plus-hour weeks — a common request of Musk’s employees. Musk has had aggressive work expectations for staff at his companies like Tesla and X. Elon Musk wants you to help root out government waste — but only if you’re really smart and willing to work 80 hours a week. Musk, who’s standing up the Department of Government Efficiency — or DOGE, named after a cryptocurrency he’s linked to — is looking for the top 1% of people interested in joining.
A post on the department’s newly created X account on Thursday said: “We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. “If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants,” it continued, referring to the businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who is set to lead the department alongside Musk.)

Warren shared that she agrees with the cost-cutting aims of the Department of Government Efficiency — but not the government programs Musk and Republicans are eyeing as potential targets. The Massachusetts senator said she is “ready to work with Musk” to make the government “more efficient” while saving the taxpayer money. “Here’s something President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and I agree on: the federal government throws away trillions of dollars on wasteful spending,” she wrote in the op-ed. “I have spent years trying to squeeze government waste out of our budget.”)

Some companies discriminated against Black applicants much more than others, and H.R. practices made a big difference. – Claire Cain Miller and Josh Katz (COMMENT: I am 100% German national origin, “Diersen” sounds Swedish. What do you say to those who have advised me to pretend to be Swedish national origin? I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that I am 100% German national origin. I would focus on those who also stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Further, what is your national origin? How are those who share your national origin stereotyped? What they blamed for? I am 100% German national origin. I should write about that. In my defense, a) all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that is, before Germany existed, b) they have always lived in northeast Illinois, c) my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, d) my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and e) my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)
