— California becomes the first state to break down Black employee data by lineage – Jaclyn Diaz (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats run Illinois. How soon will Illinois Democrats officially require all Illinois residents to officially disclose their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, citizenship status, home owner/renter status, gun ownership status, religion, national origin, length of time your ancestors have been in America, political affiliation, income, net worth, etc.? Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats use government to punish and drive out of Illinois those who are White, male, older, heterosexual, married, citizens of America, home owners, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, Republican, non-poor, etc.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/2022-08-16/california-becomes-the-first-state-to-break-down-black-employee-data-by-lineage
(FROM THE ARTICLE: California is the first state to require its agencies to present a separate demographic category for descendants of enslaved people when collecting state employee data. According to a recently signed law, the State Controller’s Office and the Department of Human Resources can start collecting this information as soon as Jan. 1, 2024. These demographic categories will include African Americans who are descendants of people who were enslaved in the United States and Black employees who are not descendants of people who were enslaved in the United States. The data collected will be included in a public state report on or after Jan. 1, 2025. Employees will not be required to disclose this demographic information, but advocates who have been pushing for this expansion of data collection say it is for the Black community’s benefit, according to the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California. In recent years, the state has been working to determine whether the state will pay reparations to Black Californians, particularly those who are descendants of slaves. And this year, the California Reparations Task Force affirmed lineage-based eligibility for state reparations — meaning only people who can prove they are descendants of slaves would be eligible.)

— Biden’s super-sized IRS Army will declare war on political enemies – Betsy McCaughey (COMMENT: I should write a book about the adverse actions that my Democrat IRS superiors took against me because was a Republican and because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, forced the IRS manager to transfer to Texas in 1975 who had promoted me in 1974, 1973, and 1972, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974.

— A teachers union places wokeness above its devotion to seniority — at the expense of whites (and kids, of course) – Editorial (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate and that is what they did. He had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) fewer job-related professional certifications and licenses than I had, c) less job-related education than I had, d) less GAO seniority than I had, and e) less federal seniority than I had. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)
https://nypost.com/2022/08/16/a-teachers-union-places-wokeness-above-its-devotion-to-seniority/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Minneapolis Public Schools district and local union agreed that “educators of color” would be exempt from seniority rules: Longer-serving whites could get the ax before black hires. This is supposed “to remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination” and boost teaching staff diversity. Even if it means blatant racial discrimination. That “last in, first out” rule has long harmed kids, forcing schools to let good, younger teachers go to protect the older ones — simply because unions refuse to recognize anything but “time in the union” as a fair distinction between members. But rather than fix that system, Minneapolis will decide on the basis of skin color, something that’s illegal under the Civil Rights Act as well as the state and federal constitutions.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/nyc-is-most-dangerous-sanctuary-community-in-us-says-report-on-illegal-alien-policies_4666198.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No. 3 on the list, Chicago, “has become a lawless hellscape where weekends of double-digit shooting victims are the norm,” under the leadership of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, the IRLI report states. Chicago police are arresting very few suspects, and in 2021 the city broke a 25-year record when there were more than 800 reported homicides. In 2020, as Chicago was grappling with the pandemic and an unprecedented crime surge, Lightfoot issued an executive order making illegal aliens eligible for all city benefits. The same year, she also signed a local ordinance that forbade city officials from working with ICE to detain illegal aliens, even those facing criminal charges or who were in the city’s gang database. In 2019, Cook County District Attorney Kimberly Foxx, a Democrat, worked to prevent criminal illegal aliens from being removed from the country. In April 2022, Illinois began offering health care free of charge to some illegal aliens. The state has one of the largest senior illegal alien populations in the United States.)

Many of those adverse actions were also motivated by their disapproval of, if not hatred of, my demographics including my being conservative, draft avoider, union member, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844. Many of those adverse actions would not have been taken against me if I had been liberal, moderate, veteran, not a union member, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or if my ancestors had not been in America for a long time. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not taken so many politically motivated adverse actions against me, I would not have become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Illinois Will Soon Let You Sit for the CPA Exam With 120 Accounting Units, Should All States? – ADRIENNE GONZALEZ (COMMENT: To meet the 150 accounting units requirement, a) I took undergraduate accounting courses at NIU, b) I took graduate accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul, and c) I took the Becker CPA Review. In Diersen v IRS, the tax court judge imposed a new rule that accounting courses are not deductible until after you have met the 150 accounting unit requirement.)

— Procrastination linked to health and career problems (COMMENT: I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31, and a master’s degree in finance from IIT until I was 48. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. I wish I had done all of the aforesaid much sooner.)

PSYCHIATRY ADVISOR
— Discrimination Associated With Higher Risk of Depression – Heather R. Johnson (DIERSEN: My superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $104,915) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $123,978) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $145,831) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $176,300) by age 40 were depressed because they knew that the federal government was going to get rid of them. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

DAILY MAIL
— Minneapolis school district DEFENDS deal with teachers’ union to lay off white staff ahead of people of color because it will ‘remedy the effects of past discrimination’ – ALYSSA GUZMAN and STEPHEN M. LEPORE (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate and that is what they did. He had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) fewer job-related professional certifications and licenses than I had, c) less job-related education than I had, d) less GAO seniority than I had, and e) less federal seniority than I had. GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee.)
