— NBC facing internal upheaval after Ronna McDaniel hire: ‘What does she bring NBC News?’ – JACKSON WALKER (COMMENT: What opposition have you had to face? I should write a book about the tremendous opposition that I faced from my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They forced me to suffer a $22,966/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. I faced tremendous opposition mainly because I was a conservative Republican who opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, but also because I did not help GAO meet any of its Affirmative Action quotas and because I did not start my career with GAO like almost all of them did and because I transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority. They were furious when I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They wasted my knowledge of IRS.)

— DEI is destroying America – Editorial
https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/opinion/dei-is-destroying-america-why-the-classics-are-back-and-other-commentary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Diversity/equity/inclusion” is the common thread behind “America’s current crises,” argues Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness. DEI has “birthed” resurgent crime and antisemitism. The “military is short” soldiers, because “white males” fear being called “white supremacists” if they join. Outcries over “the destruction of enforcement” of immigration law are “written off as racism.” Nations like China and the Soviet Union suffered enormously after substituting “race, sex, class, and tribal criteria for meritocracy,” while the smaller, less “materially rich” United States “emerged to dominate the world.” “Yet here we are in 2024, ignoring the baleful past.” America’s future now “hinges on how quickly we discard DEI orthodoxy” and “judge citizens on their character and talent” — if it’s not “already too late.”)

I base my opinions on what I learned a) working for the federal government for almost 30 years -- Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, serving on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996, and being a union member while I worked for the Post Office and IRS; b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a masters degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a masters degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; c) serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman 2005-2012, a member of the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004; d) attending the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 IRP State Conventions as a delegate; e) being the subject of a nasty 4-page article in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine; f) pursing litigation including Diersen v.
