— President Donald J. Trump Ensures Accountability and Prioritizes Public Safety in Federal Hiring. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him earlier that year. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

REUTERS
— According to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the following only because I benefitted tremendously from tremendous discrimination against minorities and against females: a) earn three master’s degrees, b) earn six professional certifications, and c) earn a professional license. I should write about my Democrat IRS and GAO minority and female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had.

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— B-Schools for High-Paying Finance, Accounting Jobs. Alumni of these schools working in the finance and accounting industry often earn six-figure salaries. I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until 1979. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until 1981. I did not become a licensed CAP until 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. On top of that, the accounting profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young women.

— Duckworth helps introduce bill on ICE identification. Many, most, if not virtually everyone looks down on/despises/hates federal employees. I know that because I was one for almost 30 years and because I have been a retired federal employee for almost 28 years. I should write about that. I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him earlier that year. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

FORBES
— Democrat and RINO leaders oppose meritocracy because it hinders their giving preference to minorities and to females. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious when I earned an MBA in 1976 and when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 because my Democrat minority and female coworkers who they wanted to promote over me had not done anything like what I did.
