WASHINGTON TIMES
— Trump rips Dick Cheney as ‘irrelevant RINO’ after former VP backs Harris
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/sep/7/donald-trump-rips-dick-cheney-as-irrelevant-rino-a/
— At 75, staying healthy is my new career. Financial, emotional, mental, nervous and physical requirements lie ahead. (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, anticipate/expect more and more and more up-or-out. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees who they do not promote to GS-13 ($115,439/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I turn 75 years old today, and two facts loom. First, the Social Security Administration reports that over 40% of my male American peers are already dead. Second, 75 marks the accepted point when physical and mental abilities begin to markedly decline.)

CAMPUS REFORM
— University of South Carolina required students to pass DEI assessment to register for courses (COMMENT: From what I see, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO leaders use DEI to get rid of Republicans starting with Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about the success that Democrat and RINO leaders are having doing that in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

— Americans Lose Jobs as Net Gains All for Migrants (COMMENT: If there had been as many migrants when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not that, the wages that I earned would have been lower because immigrants drive wages down. The wages that I earned enabled me a) to buy a 6-year-old car when I was 16 and new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, etc., b) to pay for my undergraduate and graduate college expenses, c) to buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, etc.)

CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
— Don’t Scrap Standardized Tests. Make Them Fairer (COMMENT: What tests have you passed? My critics/opponents have always been furious that I passed all the tests needed a) to become a licensed CPA and Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, b) to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) to get hired by GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed tests because my demographics gave me big unfair advantages. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents have/had lots of money.)
