I never was a rising star while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. To be a rising star in the federal government, you have to be a Democrat and at least one of the following: minority, female, and/or young. However, notwithstanding the fact that I am Republican, White, and male, IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me in 1986.)

My Democrat supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates protected themselves from being in a toxic workplace by helping my superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

— ‘I’m trying to get my miles in before the Secret Service stops me’: Joe Biden revs up for the convention by taking his 1967 Corvette for a spin in latest campaign video – MARLENE LENTHANG (DIERSEN: What demographics do you share with Biden? Both Biden and I are Corvette owners, former federal employees, White, male, older, married, college graduates, Christian, non-poor, non-drinkers, gun owners, draft avoiders, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. Biden owns a 1967 Corvette that his father gave him as a wedding gift in 1966. My father died suddenly in 1969 when I was 21 years old. I own a 1972 Corvette that I bought in 1971 a) with an insurance settlement that I got for the theft in Chicago of my 1969 Dodge Charger SE and b) with money that I earned working full-time for IRS and part-time for Firestone Stores. I own a 2005 Corvette that I bought in 2005 with money that I got from selling my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T and my 1962 Chevy Impala SS. I had owned the Charger R/T since 1994 and the Impala SS since 1989.)
