Constructively, by letting anyone and everyone who claims amnesty to come to America and to stay in America, Democrat and RINO leaders have abolished America’s borders. A country without borders is not a country.

— Tax season 2024: Due dates and when IRS will start accepting tax returns (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the Centiphone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, and/or veteran. To get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ). They made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me not only for the aforesaid reasons, but because I had complained about their ever-increasingly giving more and more and more preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. The aforesaid adverse actions were a big reason why I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. In 1986, after I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, the GAO manager who arranged my transfer finally succeed in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and in promoting me to GS-13. But because of that, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987.)

— WTTW advisory board’s annual report filled with ‘concerns’ – Corli Jay
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/marketing-media/wttw-advisory-boards-annual-report-filled-concerns#/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interview with Crain’s, Joseph Morris, chairman of the WTTW community advisory board, said the station’s management has not been transparent and has been ignoring their questions for data on program viewership, adding that they were “blindsided” by the changes in the time slot as well as the time frame of the show. “The viewing public was blindsided and had to work to find where ‘Chicago Tonight’ was on the schedule. It wasn’t where you expected it to be,” Morris said. “And that was a puzzle. We shouldn’t make it hard for the people of Chicago to find our programs; we should make it very easy.” Morris says the concerns all stem from making sure that “Chicago Tonight” can remain the flagship program for the station. . .Speaking on the board’s involvement with the station, Morris said that in the past the board’s recommendations were adopted. The rebranding of the journalistic operations as WTTW News and updating the title of executive producer of “Chicago Tonight” to director of the WTTW News Department were examples given in the report. Morris added that experimentation can be good but says the board just asks for more transparency from the station. . .”We’re asking for transparency because we love the place . . . we love the people who work there, we want them to succeed,” said Morris.)
