https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/11/22/tucker-carlson-issues-a-grim-warning-for-the-us-in-2024-n2631558
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tucker Carlson is issuing a grave warning for the United States in 2024 as the presidential election looms. While speaking at the Risk On 360! Global Success Conference in Las Vegas, Carlson painted a grim picture of what the election year may bring as he revealed his concerns about the deepening division and paranoia among Americans. The 2024 election will be “like nothing we’ve ever seen,” Carlson said amid the promising look that former President Trump will be the GOP nominee— something the Democratic Party has fought long and hard to prevent. Examining the current political and cultural landscape, the conservative commentator said that there is no positive outcome in the U.S. of the progressive Leftist policies that have brainwashed and plagued millions of Americans. “There is no upside to the great trends of our age. There’s no upside to pushing transgenderism on kids. Period. None. Not for the kid, not for the society at large, not for the parents who will never have grandchildren,” Carlson said. The ominous warning Carlson gave should send shivers down every American’s spine. Alluding that the U.S. will push past its limits during the next election cycle, he urged people to stay strong and continue to speak the truth even when it is polarizing or difficult.)

— Macy’s Hit by Legal Action Before Thanksgiving Day Parade – Khaleda Rahman (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination. and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/macy-s-hit-by-legal-action-before-thanksgiving-day-parade/ar-AA1klucy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative legal group headed by Stephen Miller, a former White House advisor to Donald Trump, has accused Macy’s of implementing a racially discriminatory diversity plan. America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday, according to a press release. The complaint alleges Macy’s is “intentionally and systemically” violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s prohibition on race discrimination, citing a five-point diversity plan that the retailer released in 2019. Newsweek has contacted Macy’s for comment via email. This article will be updated if a response is received. Macy’s plan instructed management to achieve “more ethnic diversity by 2025 at senior director level and above, with a goal of 30 percent,” and create a 12-month program to “designed to strengthen leadership skills for a selected group of top-talent managers and directors of Black/African-American, Hispanic-Latinx, Native American and Asian descent,” the group said in its letter to the EEOC. AFL alleged that Macy’s quotas are “patently illegal” and that the retailer “has only reinforced its commitments to recruitment and hiring policies that likely violate federal law” in the past year. In the letter, AFL asked EEOC to file a “commissioner charge” against Macy’s. Such charges, which can be filed by any of the five members of the agency’s leadership panel, are relatively rare, with only 29 filed in the 2022 fiscal year, up from only 3 in each of the previous two years. AFL also sent a letter to Macy’s chairman and board of directors, writing it was alerting them to “apparent mismanagement that threatens the waste of company assets, institutional disregard for and violations of federal civil rights laws, and breaches of fiduciary duty.” Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions in June, AFL appears to have increasingly taken aim at corporate diversity efforts. AFL has filed complaints with the EEOC about a number of major U.S. companies, including Starbucks, McDonald’s and Anheuser-Busch, which are among those that that it has designated as “woke corporations” on its website. The EEOC has not responded to the group’s claim that diversity, equity and inclusion efforts violate Title VII. AFL shared details of the complaint on X, formerly Twitter, saying Americans should know that Macy’s “appears to maintain politicize that perpetuate illegal racial discrimination—denying career advancement to white straight men” before tuning into Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade or going Black Friday shopping. “Macy’s own public-facing materials all but acknowledge that they are engaging in personnel practices that violate federal law,” John A. Zadrozny, AFL deputy director of oversight and investigations, said in a statement. “Because of this, Macy’s is now going to have to explain to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission why they have chosen to become a civil rights violator. It is our hope that Macy’s takes this opportunity to correct its unlawful and egregious conduct as soon as possible.”)

Because of my performance, IRS promoted me to GS-12 (currently $92,279/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ), b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633) in 1972 and to GS-11 in 1973, gotten me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and had promoted me to GS-12 in 1974, and c) made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me because I opposed their ever-increasingly giving more preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
