My father died suddenly in October of 1969.)

WTTW & CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly push more pot. Pot is poison. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, everyone around you will be pot users who will crash and burn. I led the successful effort to stop the sale of pot in Wheaton. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I would not have passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

WBEZ
— To have a child or not? Motherhood, IVF, abortion and fertility took center stage at DNC. (COMMENT: According to my Democrat GAO superiors, if my wife and had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) get promoted in 1986, f) etc. All my Democrat GAO superiors were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license. They all complained about the high cost of raising children. They all punished me for my wife and I for our not trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— ‘Horrific, heinous and inexplicable’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/09/04/horrific-heinous-and-inexplicable-00177278
(FROM THE ARTICLE: SHOCKING DETAILS have emerged about how four people were killed while sleeping on a Blue Line train in the early morning hours of the Labor Day holiday. Heading to court: A man identified as Rhanni S. Davis will appear before a judge today on charges he murdered four train passengers in what Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told reporters was a “horrific, heinous and inexplicable” act of violence. It’s seldom we write about crime at the top of Illinois Playbook, a newsletter you’ve come to recognize for its focus on government and politics. But this isn’t just any crime. It’s senseless. Authorities say no one was robbed. And there appear to have been no arguments leading up to it.)

— Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO employers will ever-increasingly use AI a) to not hire those who have demographics that vote for Republicans and b) to get rid of their employees who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

In 1980, I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, c) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. GAO audits IRS. In 1971, I had a) earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) worked for Firestone Stores since 1970, and c) passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. In 1966, I had earned a high school diploma from Crete-Monee High School and passed the postal employment examination that year.

WIKIPEDIA
— Up-or-out (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used up-or-out against me the most. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($180,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I never made GS-14. However, I did make GS-13 Step 10 ($150,075) when I was 49 in 1997. I would focus on my critics/opponents in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who did not earn the aforesaid salaries by the aforesaid ages.)
