— Democrat and RINO leaders reject the Rutan decision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois ), that is, they want government employers to make employment decisions based on party affiliation. That is why RINO leaders did not come to my defense when my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire because I was a Republican. – Dave Diersen

— Trump admin plans to impose 4-year limits for foreign students studying in US. The new rule would end a decades-old policy allowing students to stay for the duration of their studies. Because I took only one evening course at a time, it took me 4 long years to earn my MBA from Loyola in 1976 (16 courses), it took me 4 long years to earn my master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 (12 courses), and it took me 5 long years to earn my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 (14 courses), I took only one course at a time because a) that was what I could afford in terms of time and money and b) my focus was my IRS and GAO jobs. But because of age discrimination, my delay in my earning my aforesaid degrees cost me dearly.

WASHINGTON POST
— Trump, Gabbard fired top CIA Russia expert days after Alaska summit. The CIA officer was due to take up a prestigious assignment in Europe approved by CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Instead, her security clearance was summarily revoked. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors acted like my Black CPA subordinate had threatened to leave GAO if they did not get rid of me. If I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. My Black CPA subordinate a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had one job-related professional certification while I had six, and d) no job-related professional license like the one I had. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.
