— The nightmare is over: Chicago White Sox snap historic 21-game losing streak with 5-1 win against Oakland A’s. – LaMond Pope (COMMENT: What was your career’s longest losing streak? Mine was 1974-1986. I made GS-12 (currently $97,079) when I was 25 in 1974, but I did not make GS-13 (currently $115,439) until I was 38 in 1986. During that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I never made GS-14 (currently $136,414) even though I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me during that time were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

Previously, they were frustrated by my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Subsequently, they were frustrated by my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

— Democrats ask “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165. In today’s dollars, a) that is less that what my salary was ($66,942) when I was 23 years old in 1973 and b) that is $84,910 less than what my salary was ($150,975) when I was 49 years old in 1997. That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

— JD Vance’s story an example of meritocracy. – Mike Huckabee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I had to work my way through college, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.” Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)

— Eventually, everyone’s motivations come out in the wash. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes are involved in politics and/or government to get more preference for themselves, for their wives, for their children, and/or for those who share their demographics. They all blame those who are following for their problems: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, childless, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.
