FEDERAL TIMES
— Democrats say “White House moves to block salary histories in federal hiring.” GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, instead of offering me a $5,149 (5%) pay increase in today’s dollars (from GS-12 Step 5 up to GS-13 Step 1) to transfer from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars (from GS-12 Step 5 down to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. By doing that, constructively, they rendered the following worthless: a) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and c) my having almost 9 years of experience working for IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

COMMUNIST PARTY USA
— Communists crow: “A people’s victory in Chicago.”
https://www.cpusa.org/article/a-peoples-victory-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the other hand, a cabal of right-wing billionaires backed Vallas, along with leading center forces in the Democratic Party, including Rahm Emanuel, Sen. Dick Durbin, former Secretary of State Jesse White, former U.S. representative Bobby Rush, and other elected officials (Gov. J.B. Pritzker remained neutral), Democratic machine remnants, some building trades unions, the fascist-led Fraternal Order of Police, and the Illinois Republican Party. Some center-oriented Democratic Party officials supported Vallas to undercut the growing clout of the progressive coalition backing Johnson. Others feared voter backlash over “defund the police” remarks Johnson made during the height of the George Floyd protests, which he later walked back. In the end, voters were more concerned with Vallas’s admission of being closer to a Republican than a Democrat, his anti-abortion stance, his support for school privatization, and policies that left a trail of destruction in Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Bridgeport, CT, his thinly veiled racist appeal to “take back our city,” and his support from the Fraternal Order of Police.)
