CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Realtors must embrace fair rules of competition, lest their hands get forced – Editorial
(COMMENT: Based on those who have bought homes in my precinct and have had homes built in my precinct since 2000, realtors and builders have focused on getting Democrats and RINOs to buy homes in my precinct and to have homes built in my precinct. Realtors can stress the LGBTQ-promoting churches just north and south of my precinct. Since 2015, Realtors can stress that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 headquarters, a public grade school, and a public middle school are in my precinct.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— When Child Care Costs Twice as Much as the Mortgage – Jason DeParle
(COMMENT: During the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, my father made enough money that my mother could stay home a raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to paint my father, my mother, and me as being filthy rich. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967, and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969. If my parents were so filthy rich, why did I do yard work and deliver newspapers 1962-1964; wash dishes 1964-1966; clean golf shoes, chip slag, and pump gasoline in 1966; deliver mail 1966-1969; and work on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970?)

— Benefits for All or Just the Needy? Manchin’s Demand Focuses Debate – Jonathan Weisman and Emily Cochrane
(COMMENT: Have you ever been needy? I have not. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have never been needy because I was born a White male, because I was unfairly blessed with good health, because by parents were filthy rich, because I avoided the draft, because I was grossly overpaid by the federal government, because of my wife’s income, because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, because my federal retirement benefits are far too generous, because I do not give money to a church like they do, etc.)

— You’re More Than Just Your Job – Roxane Gay
(COMMENT: When my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my GAO job was the overwhelming focus of my life. I had worked of GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year. I had worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for the prior 8 years. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT earlier that year. I had become a Forensic Accountant earlier that year. I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, and a licensed CPA in 1981. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996. I had taken a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
