My critics/opponents have always falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my parents could sent me to Trinity and Hope because they were filthy rich. In fact, my father never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.)

Because my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators in 1990, I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Because my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business and accounting courses, I started taking graduate evening a) business courses at Loyola in 1972 and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. Further, on my first attempt, I passed the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. Further, I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Virtually none of my IRS and GAO coworkers did anything close to what I did.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly use Pense to promote more hatred against Trump.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/13/mike-pence-trump-conservative-movement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Pence became vice president by bearing witness to Donald Trump — the thrice-married, six-times bankrupt, once “very pro-choice” real estate promoter — as “a good man” who would “make a great president” for religious and conservative voters. “I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,” Pence said at his first appearance with his running mate in New York in 2016, driving home the gravity of his judgment. Eight years later, Pence is asking the conservatives who followed his lead to turn away from Trump’s policy prescriptions — becoming the most prominent exile of the former president’s inner circle to speak out in an election season. When Trump suggested he would not push for a federal limit on abortion Monday, Pence called it a “slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him.” When Trump sent mixed signals on continued Chinese ownership of the social network TikTok, Pence launched a $2 million ad campaign through a nonprofit he founded demanding a Senate vote to force a sale or shutdown of the service.)
