Never-the-less, a) I took college preparatory course, b) got a 24 on the ACT, c) graduated in the upper 20% of my class, d) got accepted by UIC, and e) earned I earned and saved enough money washing dishes I could by a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint at the end of my senior year that I used to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Enrolled Agent: Conservatives Have Nothing to Fear From Beefed-up IRS as Long as They Haven’t Cheated – Stacey Matthews (COMMENT: In 1978, when I was a GS-12 Step 5 (currently $99,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, the Democrats who ran IRS and Money Magazine disallowed my graduate business courses that I had taken at Loyola since 1972 and the graduate accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They argued that the courses did not relate to my job duties, did not maintain or improve my job skills, qualified me for a new trade or business, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and were a distraction. I stressed to the tax court judge that IRS’s employee manual encouraged its Revenue Officers to take graduate business and accounting courses and that I had stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses to maintain and improve my job skills. I provided the tax court judge with copies of IRS’s employee manual, copies of the course descriptions, and copes of my position descriptions. The tax court allowed the business courses but disallowed the accounting courses by creating a new rule that accounting courses cannot be deducted until you have taken enough to qualify to take the CPA examination.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives/dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The organization plans to recruit and train candidates considering running for all levels of government. But it will have a particular focus on recruiting for local election official positions in counties, along with finding and training volunteers who staff polling places and count ballots. “While we will work with folks who want to run for any local office, we are particularly interested in election clerk positions and volunteers,” said Zach Hunter, the executive director of Keep Country First. “It’s vital for our democracy that we have people of good faith to fairly administer election laws and restore trust in our institutions.” The group will soon have field staff in several states ahead of the 2023 municipal elections, and it hopes to expand its program for the 2024 elections.)

Officially, according to my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, I am unelectable because I am too conservative, because I am a bad person, and because my demographics (White, male, old, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, draft avoider, gun owner, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 25 years) are terrible. But unofficially and under the table, according to them, it is because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives/dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me.)
