— Trump may face a $100 million-plus tax bill if he loses IRS audit fight over Chicago tower – AP (COMMENT: Democrat leaders use IRS to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 when I was a GS-12 Step 4 (currently $106,785/year) IRS Collection Division Special Procedures Staff Advisor. They stressed their disallowance to all my IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates and to everyone else. They disallowed the graduate evening business and accounting courses that I had taken at Loyola and DePaul 1972-1978. Even though my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses and I had stated that in my Loyola and DePaul applications, they outrageously and unethically argued that the courses were not related to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— At Loyola, other four-year colleges, a chance to earn a two-year associate degree as a start. The aim is to give students who might not initially see themselves going to a four-year school a boost that might help them eventually get a bachelor’s degree, as few two-year students do now. – Matt Krupnick (COMMENT: One of my biggest decisions in life was to get a four-year college degree in business even though no one saw me as being “college material.” Neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I could not run because a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, I demonstrated no leadership potential, and I had to work my way through college. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Stop asking amateurs to oversee public transit – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. Instead of me, GAO assigned amateurs to audit IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. My coworkers who they assigned to audits of IRS instead of me knew little or nothing about IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, 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. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then certainly did not want Republicans like me to work on audits of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How Republicans Echo Antisemitic Tropes Despite Declaring Support for Israel. Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric. – Karen Yourish, Danielle Ivory, Jennifer Valentino-DeVries and Alex Lemonides (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997) had in turning my many Jewish superiors and supervisors against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, draft-avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed a) that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, b) that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, c) that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and d) that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. Adverse actions that my many Jewish superiors and supervisors took against me include a) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969, b) forcing me to resign in 1969, c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, d) never promoting me beyond GS-13, e) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, f) forcing me to suffer a $22.996/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, g) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, h) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, i) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and j) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997.)
