NPR ILLINOIS & TRI STATE PUBLIC RADIO
— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats say “The divide within the Republican Party.” A house divided against itself cannot stand. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leadership divide is between a) its anti-conservative and conservative-hating leaders and b) its conservative leaders. The divide is between its leaders who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) platform planks and b) its leaders who support the aforesaid platform planks. Far too many IRP leaders a) are anti-conservative or conservative-haters and b) reject the aforesaid platform planks. Defending and advancing the Republican Party platform should be required to seek or hold any kind of IRP leadership position.

CAPITAL RESEARCH CENTER
— Unions Are Allies of Wokeness, Not Conservative Employees – Michael Watson (COMMENT: I have always been a “conservative employee.” I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, I should write a book about the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me during those almost 12 years.)
https://capitalresearch.org/article/unions-are-allies-of-wokeness-not-conservative-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Organized labor aligns with the broader left-wing agenda under an ideological framework known as “social justice unionism,” and that isn’t the “social justice” of a 19th-century Papal encyclical. It is rather that of the contemporary social-liberal left, which takes positions on issues ranging from critical race theory to abortion to the promotion of synthetic sexual identities. Labor unions big and small almost uniformly line up in a shield wall espousing the same view alongside their woke brethren in Big Philanthropy, Big Tech, and the Democratic Party.)

I have been able to afford that because of a) my Civil Service Retirement System pension, b) my wife’s income, c) my and my wife’s federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies, d) our reduced lifestyle since my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, e) our retirement savings, and f) our not having children, pets, or other dependents to support.)

IDAHO STATE JOURNAL
— Why wokesters hate merit – Martin Hackworth (COMMENT: In 1979, when I was 30 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors were beyond furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt because that frustrated their promoting their Democrat employees over me who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, had less education and/or work experience than I had, and/or those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time.)

— Portland’s Pride Parade rejected JPMorgan’s offer to sponsor this year’s festival, citing concerns over the bank’s donations to politicians who support anti-LGBTQ causes – Reed Alexander (COMMENT: I should write a book about Wheaton’s rejection of donations from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2020.

HR WORKPLACE
— How to achieve true inclusivity in the workplace – Alison Roller (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. The more of the following that federal employees are, the more that they are excluded: conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, non-veteran, married, homeowners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

GAO
— 2022 Tax Filing: Backlogs and Ongoing Hiring Challenges Led to Poor Customer Service and Refund Delays (COMMENT: During 1974, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $73,611/year) Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my performance, IRS promoted me to GS-12 (currently $88,229/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) and got rid of the IRS manager who had a) promoted me to GS-9 (currently $60,840) in 1972, b) promoted me to GS-11 in 1973, c) got me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and d) promoted me to GS-12 in 1974.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-105880
(FROM THE REPORT: For three years, IRS has struggled with a backlog of work. During the 2022 filing season, IRS focused on reducing its correspondence backlog, which left most phone calls from taxpayers unanswered. IRS also prioritized processing its backlog of returns from 2021, but then had more than 12 million returns from 2022 to process as of late September. IRS hired the staff it needed with the help of a short-term authority that speeds the hiring process. However, most of those staff started working after the filing season ended. We highlighted 13 related prior recommendations to IRS and Treasury and 3 prior recommendations for Congress to consider.)

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— CPA Diversity – Barriers to Success (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being a barrier to my Black CPA subordinate’s success. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave him my job and my preferred corner office. I should write a book about that.)

ENCYCLOPEDIA
— Cheap labor (COMMENT: I should write book about RINOs in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who have promoted cheap labor the most, that is, who have rejected the immigration plank in the Illinois Republican Party platform the most. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I promote the immigration plank in the Illinois Republican Party platform.)
https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/labor-cheap
(FROM THE POSTING: Cheap labor, however, means more than low pay. To maximize profits, employers have historically subjected workers of color to unsafe and inhumane working conditions. They have also cheapened these workers” labor by cutting costs on factory maintenance, farming equipment, and a variety of other workplace improvements. While race is not the only factor determining which workers are treated as labor, workers of color disproportionately earn less for their labor than their white counterparts, just as immigrants have earned less than native-born workers and women have earned less than men.)

FREE DICTIONARY
— Bring (something) to (one’s) attention (COMMENT: I use GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to bring articles to the attention of Republicans that promote the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. By comparing the types of articles that I bring to the attention of Republicans with the types of articles that the following bring to the attention of Republicans, everyone can see the types of articles that they do not want Republicans to see: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your Republican county, township, and/or ward party organizations, b) Republican activists, c) conservative leaders and activists, d) religious leaders and activists, and e) Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct.)
