SOUTHERN
— Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after apparent Trump assassination attempt  (COMMENT: GAO need help. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. GAO’s mission is to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. While I worked for GAO, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives used major budget cuts to dramatically reduced GAO’s ability to fight fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. To punish me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors took many adverse actions against me. They forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years that I worked for them. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my having earning three job related master’s degrees (1976,1980, and 1997), six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a professional license (1981). I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Down-ballot drama. SEVEN WEEKS TO GO: The presidential candidates aren’t doing much to drive turnout in Illinois, a state they know will go blue. With that in mind, the Illinois General Assembly has passed three nonbinding ballot measures to help rev up voter interest. Otherwise, down-ballot candidates are on their own to get their messages out — and that costs money. We’ll be watching to see how much their respective parties help out in the home stretch. Here are the Illinois House races we’re watching. Financial numbers are based on the most recent quarterly reports. (COMMENT: How hard are the Republican candidates on the ballot in your precinct campaigning?)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Democrat party’s unique historical opportunity
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/the_democrat_party_s_unique_historical_opportunity.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This presidential election offers a remarkable and unique historical opportunity for the Democrat party. In fact, this may be that party’s most opportune time ever to make history. The Democrat presidential candidate identifies as black, having previously identified as Southeast Asian. Becoming the first self-identified black and female president in America would be history-making. However, there is something much more history-making begging to be acknowledged recognized. In fact, it is something beyond belief—utterly inconceivable—something very few are qualified for. Kamala Harris is a rare candidate due to her genealogical background. She is the first black female candidate and second black presidential candidate descendant of a slave master (Obama was the first black descendant of a slave master.)

Because Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1980-1997, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. I was one of an extremely few Republican employees in GAO’s Chicago office. With one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense. Constructively they sided with GAO in Diersen v. GAO  (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )  My critics/opponents stressed to them that I did not give them any money and that I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination when they were “reaching out” to young minorities and women. They demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being much too conservative. I should write about my critics/opponents.

From what I see, those who are the aforesaid ever-increasingly blame their problems on those who are conservative, Republican, citizens of America, White, male, older, married, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— What decisions did you make that limited your career? I avoided the draft. I did not become a Democrat. I became a federal employee when I was 18 years old. I worked all the part-time hours that could instead of studying. I majored in management instead of accounting. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27.  I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. I became a active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40. Nevertheless, I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, when I was 25, to GS-13, currently $115,439/year, when I was 38, and GS-13 Step 10, currently $150,075/year, when I was 49.
