— Trump’s FBI pick has plans to reshape the bureau. This is what Kash Patel has said he wants to do. (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. Under him, GAO shrank from over 6,000 employees to under 3,000. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Its employees who conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time were gotten rid of and replaced with employees who were liberal, Democrat, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— When Republican candidates on ballots in your precinct lose elections, who blames who for that? Since 2000, my critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses suffered my Republican candidates on ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township precinct in Wheaton. They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I paint the candidates in my newsletters as being far more conservative than they are and that causes them to lose elections and b) that I include links to articles in my newsletters that they do not like. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me recently. – Dave Diersen

— Less than half of adults from disadvantaged backgrounds attain decent wages by age 30 (COMMENT: When I was 30 years old in 1978, my IRS salary was $110,020/year in today’s dollars. I had worked for IRS since 1971. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had to work my way through college. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/pathways-to-upward-mobility-diverging-pathways/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To identify adults who experienced socioeconomic disadvantage in adolescence, we assess whether they met any of the following criteria in their teens: Lived in a low-income family, Neither parent had a postsecondary degree, Mother was aged 19 years old or younger when her first child was born, Family received public assistance. Anyone who met at least one of the above criteria is included in the analysis.)
