BLAZE
— Juneteenth deserves celebration. But turning it into a rival of the Fourth of July risks further dividing a nation that once fought a war to uphold the meaning of 1776.

— One could question why I did not succumb earlier than I did to my Democrat GAO superiors’ ever-increasing tremendous pressure on me to retire. I could have taken their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 years old in 1993, but I nevertheless survived until I was 49 years old in 1997. Obvious reasons include my Civil Service Retirement System would have been even smaller. During those 4 years, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading. If I had not taken their “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it very clear that they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me.

TIME
— How have Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI impacted you? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 and replaced me with my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like I had. My critics/opponents applaud that, that is, they applaud AA and DEI, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. My Democrat GAO superiors would not have replace me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

— For Women to Have Real Political Power, We Need Quotas. Since the 1960s, all those above me have been under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to meet race and gender quotas, goals, and targets. Because of my bad demographics, that ever-increasingly rendered worthless my 1970 job-related bachelor’s degree, my 1976, 1980, and 1997 job-related master’s degrees, my 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 job-related professional certifications, and my 1981 job-related professional license.
