We both were DuPage County residents, Republicans, CPAs, White, male, married, non-veteran, Protestant, and our ancestors had been in America for a long time. But he was a Native America. He filled the office’s Native American quota. I would focus on the many ways in which our GAO superiors gave him preference over me. Unlike me, they let him work until he was eligible for regular retirement. We were both very active in the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. He differed from me in that he was younger than me, he had started his career with GAO, his wife had little or no income, and he had children.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters promote “Principle First summit.” (COMMENT: Which past and present leaders of your municipality, school district, park district, chamber of commerce, township, and county have demonstrated their hatred against Trump the strongest? I should write a book about those past and present leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, and DuPage County who have demonstrated their hatred against Trump the strongest. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION

HECHINGER REPORT
— Did your college application essay mention race? Talk to us about it. (COMMENT: In my 1971 Loyola and 1976 DePaul applications, I stressed that I was an IRS Revenue Officer and that my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business and accounting courses and that I wanted to take those courses to maintain and improve my job skills as an IRS employee. But in 1978, to get rid of me, my IRS superiors disallowed the courses that I had taken ignoring/rejecting what I had stated in my applications and falsely arguing that I the courses a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) qualified me for a “new trade or business.” They would not have done that nor would they have disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and gotten rid of the IRS manager in 1975 who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would not have complained about the aforesaid discrimination if my Democrat IRS superiors had not taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— Anything seems obvious, after the fact. – Angela Duckworth Ph.D. (COMMENT: What have you spent lots of your time, effort, and/or money on? In retrospect and with benefit of hindsight, what did you learn? Would you have done those things if you knew then what you know now? If so, what would you have done differently? I should write a book about that. I would focus on my serving as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) an Illinois Center Right Coalition officer 2003-2007. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I did the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.)
