— Journalists Can NOT Locate a ‘Far Left’ Anywhere. DD: To get rid of me, my critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being not only far right, but as being too far right. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all conservative principles and planks in the Republican Party platform. They most commonly reject the platform’s personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who are/were a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders, and d) religious leaders.

— GOP unveils health bill without ACA subsidies. DD: Is/was your healthcare insurance premiums subsidized? Ever since I became a part-time postal employee when was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have been furious that the federal government has paid 72% of my healthcare insurance premiums. They have been even more furious ever since I got married I was 29 years old and the federal government started paying 72% of my wife’s healthcare insurance premiums. That 72% subsidy is a major reason why people despise/hate federal employees, federal retirees, and their spouses. That 72% subsidy helped me withstand tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors in the federal government to waste my career and to get rid of me.

— Is $140,000 really a poverty income? Clearly not, but the viral debate underscores the ‘affordability’ issue. DD: I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. According to my critics/opponents, that proves both a) that I was grossly overpaid and b) that was a career failure because I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, a wealth manager named Michael Green published a Substack post arguing that a $140,000 income is the new poverty level for a family of four in America, where the official poverty line is $32,150. The post promptly went viral. One would hope that economic commentators coast-to-coast mentioned Green as their “person I’m most thankful for” at their family gatherings that week, because he gave them something to masticate ever since. On the spectrum from left to right, countless pundits have rerun Green’s numbers to deride or validate his argument.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents who continue to have their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me.

DESERT NEWS
— Why are Americans growing indifferent to marriage? DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasing destroy traditional marriage and family. Under the Democrats, fewer and fewer and fewer people are marriage material. What helped make you marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $108,978/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971.

Further, if I had not earned a second job-related master’s degree, two job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Prioritizing work-life balance is not a recipe for success — it’s a red flag. DD: While I worked for Firestone Stores in 1971, IRS 1972-1979, and GAO in 1981 and 1992-1997, I took only one graduate business, accounting, internal auditing, or finance course at a time. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, that was a BIG mistake. By the time I earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997, IT WAS TOO LATE.

They used those quotas, goals, and targets to waste the careers of and to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.
