STATELINE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Watchdog group says racial bias training for Illinois healthcare workers will harm minorities.” (COMMENT: The Democrats who run the federal government a) require federal employees to take lots of bias training and b) use that training to promote hatred against Republicans. I should write a book about the bias training a) that my Democrat IRS superiors required me and my IRS supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1971-1980 and b) that my Democrat GAO superiors required me and my GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1980-1997. I would focus on the success that training had in promoting hatred against Republicans like me.)
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/watchdog-group-says-racial-bias-training-for-illinois-healthcare-workers-will-harm-minorities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A medical watchdog group is criticizing Illinois’ new law that requires health-care workers to take racial bias training over “being a good doctor.” According to the Illinois Administrative Code, racial bias occurs automatically and unintentionally, affecting behaviors, judgments, and decisions. The medical watchdog group Do No Harm counters that “There is no credible evidence that physicians are biased, or healthcare is systemically racist.” Illinois passed the Health Care and Human Services Reform Act, which went into effect on January 1st, 2023, requiring health professionals to take one hour of “implicit bias training” in order to renew their license with the state. The legislation “recognized significant disparities in health outcomes between Black Illinois residents and other residents of the state, including higher rates of death from pregnancy-related causes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic diseases (including asthma); a higher rate of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which is associated with adverse health outcomes.” “Things that are related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are based on more divisive ideology than things that really have anything to do with being a good doctor,” wrote Laura Morgan, program manager for Do No Harm, who said she was fired from her Texas nursing job after 39 years for refusing to take a mandatory course “grounded in the idea that I’m racist because I’m white.” “The idea of implicit bias is grounded in the belief that white people treat those who aren’t white worse than those who are. It’s part of the woke assumption that society, including healthcare, suffers from ‘systemic racism,’” she wrote. “Accordingly, my own supposed implicit bias, which is a euphemism for ingrained racism, must be rooted out. Not only that, it must be replaced with preferential treatment for the nonwhite.“ “Patients, especially minorities, will experience the most harm. Their caregivers are being told to admit to unconscious racism. Why would you see a physician who supposedly hates you and will hurt your health?” she said. “I fear every healthcare professional will soon be forced to make the same awful decision I did: Falsely admit to being racist or abandon the medical field,” she wrote in an article published in the Wall Street Journal. According to a 2017 Harvard study, diversity training programs may actually worsen healthcare situations by exacerbating pre-existing biases.)

— Biden’s army of IRS auditors falls victim to hiring woes, ambiguous marching orders – Stephen Dinan (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 hired me to be a Revenue Officer because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I was qualified because in 1970, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. They did not offer me a Revenue Agent job because I had not taken enough accounting courses. While I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer, my goal was never to qualify myself for a new trade or business, that is, my goal was never to become a Revenue Agent.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jan/18/bidens-army-irs-auditors-falls-victim-hiring-woes-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A tricky job market and lack of expedited hiring authority are making it difficult to bring on more people who can clear the hurdles. “A continued challenge the IRS faces is having to evaluate a high number of applicants in order to find successful candidates both willing to accept the job offer and also be able to pass the required background checks,” the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said. . .“Even once they manage to make the hires, training will be a long process and the agency will continue to deal with attrition,” he told The Washington Times. “In fact, attrition may increase, and the quality of the typical IRS auditor will probably drop since the IRS won’t be able to be as selective in hiring if it expects to almost double the size of the agency in less than nine years.”)

SWIFT COUNTY MONITOR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The Consequences Of An Uninformed Electorate.” My critics/opponents want everyone to know only what they tell them, no more, and no less. They destroy those like me a) who refuse to be manipulated or dominated by them, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present 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, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican voters duped into casting their ballots for a congressional candidate whose entire resume was a lie are outraged. How could someone make it through a whole campaign season without the falsehoods being revealed? It was too late for them to take back their votes, and George Santos now serves as the U.S. Representative from New York’s 3rd District for the next two years. Santos had claimed Jewish heritage, running a pet charity, working for finance giant Goldman Sachs, and attending an exclusive New York prep school. His claims were all false. He went from earning an income of $50,000 on a venture capital fund that federal prosecutors called a Ponzi scheme in 2020 to claiming assets totaling nearly $11 million in 2022, the local newspaper the North Shore Leader reported. The newspaper editorialized on a candidate who it saw as a complete fraud. No one listened. No one followed up. “This would all have been exposed before the election if local newspapers were not running on fumes,” former Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill tweeted. Across the country, those fumes consist of decimated reporting staff – if a newspaper still exists.)
