— Santucci on GOP losses: ‘The social issues – especially the abortion issue – is what killed us’ – Laurie A. Luebbert (COMMENT: Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have been dominated by people who are anti-conservative, if not conservative-haters, and who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Of course, that explains why Republican candidates lose elections in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)

CHRISTIAN POST
— COMMENT: The Democrat Jewish woman who wrote a nasty 4-page article on me in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue questioned me f) for my not trying to conceal the fact that I was Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran) and b) for my not trying to conceal the fact that I was 100% German American. She used her article a) to paint me as being grossly overpaid, b) to foist negative government stereotypes on me, c) to paint my education deductions as being improper, and d) even worse things. Notwithstanding the fact that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, that my mother never attended high school, and that that I worked my way through college, she hinted/implied that I, my parents, my grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors benefitted from discrimination against minorities, against females, against younger people, against non-Protestants, against non-German Americans, and/or against those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time.

ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
— Who’s in favor of a Trump comeback? Real people. – SUSAN SHELLEY (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. Do you know anyone who works/worked for the Democrats who run the federal government? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. If you know someone who works/worked for the Democrats who run the federal government, what led to their becoming and staying a federal employee? In 1966, my high school best friend invited me to join him in taking the Post Office employment examination. I passed it and the Post Office hired me in 1966. In 1970, because I had been a part-time postal employee for almost 3 years, I took and passed the Federal Employee Entrance Examination. In 1971, I became unemployed because my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. Private sector employers have an extremely low opinion of federal employees. Once you become a federal employee, it is extremely difficult to get a job in the private sector.)
https://www.ocregister.com/2022/11/20/whos-in-favor-of-a-trump-comeback-real-people/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The list of Washington power players who don’t want Trump back in the White House is long. Trump is fiercely opposed by some high-ranking federal employees because of an executive order he signed known as “Schedule F.” Had it not been quickly rescinded by President Biden, it would have created a separate category for up to 50,000 federal employees who are involved in making policy or implementing it. These “Schedule F” employees could then be replaced by an incoming president instead of being protected by civil service rules from being fired. Schedule F is nuclear war against the so-called Deep State, the permanent federal employees who can block a president’s agenda by slow-walking everything until the clock runs out. In September three federal employee organizations — the Senior Executives Association, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys and the Professional Managers Association — wrote letters to the House of Representatives in support of a bill that would prohibit a “Schedule F” in the federal workforce. The letters urged Congress to pass H.R. 302 in order to “prevent any president” from changing the rules and replacing the permanent government with his or her own appointees. H.R. 302 passed in the House, but not the Senate, so the executive order could return if Trump does.)

INSTEAD KNOWLEDGE
— Careers and Chance: How Much Control Do You Really Have? – Charles Galunic (COMMENT: What limited/ended your career advancement? In 1987, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of the GAO manager who had promoted me in 1986, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980. In 1975, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1974, 1973, and 1972. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.)
https://knowledge.insead.edu/career/careers-and-chance-how-much-control-do-you-really-have

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Is Motivation Overrated?” What has motivated you the most to oppose something? Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $58,101/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was in today’s dollars in 1972 when I was 23 years old. If my Democrat GAO superiors had let me work until I was 62 years old in 2010, and assuming no promotions, my CSRS pension would be $109,110/year in today’s dollars. That should explain my opposition to patronage, to political affiliation discrimination, to reverse discrimination, and to age discrimination.

— COMMENT: Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $58,101/year.

If my Democrat GAO superiors had let me work until I was 62 years old in 2010, and assuming no promotions, my CSRS pension would be $109,110/year in today’s dollars. So far, being forced to take early retirement has cost me $1,629,826 in today’s dollars. I lost $1,017,718 in salary 1997-2010 and I lost $612,108 in pension payments 2010-2022. That should explain my opposition to patronage, to political affiliation discrimination, to reverse discrimination, and to age discrimination.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2022/11/17/top-3-ways-to-ruin-a-federal-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There was a time in Federal service where 41 years and 11 months of service would formulaically produce an 80% (of high three) pension for ALL Federal employees (excluding special provisions). One system, one formula. Put in the time, collect the pension. That changed in 1986 with the introduction of FERS.
