CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Republicans are warning against counting Nikki Haley out in the 2024 presidential race after a better-than-expected campaign rollout this week that offered an early lens into how she plans to take on former President Donald Trump.” The harder that you work against Trump, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs glorify and praise you.

CITIES 92.9
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats treasonously promote illegal immigration. To give illegals the right to vote is to treasonously promote illegal immigration. Ever-increasingly, Democrats treasonously show that they not only despise America, that they not only hate America, but that they want to destroy America.

What percent of those who have moved from California are Democrats who will destroy the states that they move to by continuing to vote for Democrats? What do you say to Democrats who move from Democrat areas to your county, to your township, and/or to your municipality to escape the poverty and crime in Democrat areas, but then continue to vote for Democrats? I should write a book about that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct.)

— RNC Looks to Require Loyalty Pledge to Participate in 2024 Presidential Debates – BRITTANY BERNSTEIN (COMMENT: I have always fully supported elected Republicans, including those who have taken and/or who continue to take adverse actions against me. I should write a book about those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those on ballots in my precinct and leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— Gnashing Teeth Over Nikki Haley Saying America’s Not Racist – Tim Graham (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, everyone in America has to and does give more and more and more preference to minorities, to females, to younger people, and to LGBTQers, that is, ever-increasingly, everyone in America has to and does discriminate more and more and more against Whites, against men, against older people, and against heterosexuals. That does not justify January 6, but that helps explain it.

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Haley Walks Treacherous Road for G.O.P. Women. Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign is a major test of her party’s views on sexism and female leaders. Just don’t call it identity politics.” I should write a book about Republicans who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Do Law Schools Need the LSAT?” Ever-increasingly, because Democrat minorities and Democrat females do poorly on tests, testing requirements have been eased if not dropped. GAO, IRS, and the Post Office hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 respectively because they could not find qualified Democrat minorities or females who would take the jobs. I qualified myself for my GAO job a) by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) by earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and c) by working for IRS for almost 9 years. I qualified myself for my IRS job a) by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination, b) by earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, and c) by working for Firestone Stores for 10 months. I qualified myself for my Post Office job a) by passing the Post Office employment examination, b) by earning a high school diploma, and c) by having a clean driving record for 2 years.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Nikki Haley removed the Confederate flag. She sounds different as a candidate. The former South Carolina governor is using claims that the United States is a racist nation as a foil in her campaign messages.” I should write a book about candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have said things to get elected and then done opposite things after they got elected. I would focus on those who after they got elected promoted a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) patronage, h) political affiliation discrimination, i) reverse discrimination, and/or j) age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

BANGOR DAILY NEWS
— COMMENT: Democrats ask if George Washington was woke. To be woke is to be anti-American, anti-heterosexual, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-married people, anti-people who have more money than other people, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the following who are the most woke: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders in the aforesaid, d) religious leaders in the aforesaid, and e) those who I have sued. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken and/or are taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

NPR
— COMMENT: Democrats acknowledge that “Many voters think Biden is too old for a second term” but say “The White House isn’t worried.” Who has deemed you to be too old to do what? My Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to be too old to be promoted again, and therefore, to be “failed,” if they did not make GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($152,527) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. In that book, I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40. I earned a) $92,279/year (GS-12 Step 1) in today’s dollars when I was 25, b) $104,583/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I was 30 and 35, and c) $117,047/year (GS-13 Step 3) when I was 40. I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being “failed” and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

FED SMITH

HUMAN RESOURSES
— Promoted Too Fast (COMMEMT: While I was taking graduate business evening courses at Loyola, IRS promoted me a) to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972 when I was 23, b) to GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and c) to GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974.  I should write a book about those who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as having been promoted too fast. I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40.

I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981.
