CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Outrageously, anti-Trumps discourage home ownership. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24, a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in that building in 1976.  My wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978 and we had 915 Cove Court built in 1984.

— A Public Service Message From the Class of ’67 – SERGE SCHMEMANN  (DIERSEN: Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government have used my getting student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a patriotic hypocrite, a coward, even worse things, and a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a veteran in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a veteran in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted veterans in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a veteran in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a veteran in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/10/opinion/sunday/vietnam-war-public-service-message-from-the-class-of-67.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: My generation was shaped to a considerable degree by Vietnam and, at least for the men, by the draft. Whether and how to elude military service was a constant during our time in college and beyond, and for many of us the wrenching debates and decisions of the tumultuous 1960s affected the rest of our lives. Some ended up in Vietnam, some opted for the Peace Corps or other national service, some became conscientious objectors, but all were touched by the draft. So it is not surprising that at our college reunions — including the 50th of my class of ’67 at Harvard last month — both the men and the women spent a lot of time going over what Vietnam and the choices we made in those now-distant years meant for us. Twenty-five years earlier, a session on Vietnam had become intensely emotional and confessional as classmates recalled their war or their antiwar struggles; this time, we were more retrospective, reflective and ruminative. What was surprising was that many who rose to speak in the two-and-a-half hour session declared it was a shame that the draft, and more broadly the notion of a couple of years of national service before plunging into careers and families, had been abandoned. How could guys who expended so much passion and energy eluding the draft regret its demise?)
— Democrats in Split-Screen: The Base Wants It All. The Party Wants to Win. – ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTIN  (DIERSEN: To be a Democrat is to be anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

WASHINGTON POST

— U.S. one of world’s worst on health divide between rich, poor – Sarah Toy (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes attribute your good health to? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I have good health because my parents were undeservedly filthy rich and b) that they have poor health because their parents were undeservedly poor.  Most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) drink lots of booze or want to drink lots of booze, b) smoke pot or want to smoke lots of pot, and/or c) otherwise abuse their bodies.)
