— APRIL 28, 2021 FLASHBACK: FROM THE ARTICLE: Most significantly, two landmark court cases — Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois and Shakman v. the Democratic Organization of Cook County — ended political patronage as we knew it. (COMMENT: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in patronage and political affiliation discrimination.)

The Russian authorities have used a variety of deceitful tactics to try to manufacture a big victory in parliamentary elections this weekend. Here’s how they do it. – Andrew E. Kramer (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. But ever-increasingly, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, the more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform that a candidate supports, the less help that candidate gets from the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving.)

But a planned major overhaul of the form may not take effect for several years. – Ann Carrns (COMMENT: Did you apply for college aid? I did not. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that my parents were filthy rich. But neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. If my parents were 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?)
