— Hit Hard By COVID-19, DuPage County Slowly Recovering With Business Reopenings – CRAIG DELLIMORE
https://wbbm780.radio.com/articles/dupage-county-slowly-recovering-after-hit-hard-by-covid
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Board Member Bob Larsen, who chairs the finance committee, said the County has lost substantial revenue but he was ready for this. He said the county plans to avoid a tax increase but may have to dip into its reserves. Greg Bedalov, CEO of Choose DuPage said the hospitality industry, has suffered the most from COVID-19 but things are starting to get a little better. He said the county received $168 million in CARES Act dollars and immediately allocated $7 million to a small business relief program that is being administered by Choose DuPage. “We were able to deploy over $6 million of that $7 million allocation to the small business community within DuPage in less than 60 days,” Bedalov said. Larsen said there’s been some relief from Washington, but not for lost revenue from taxes and fees. He’s not sure how much, if any, more aid will come for that.)

At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!” Trump tweeted.)

According to my critics/opponents, because of discrimination against minorities and because of discrimination against females, if had been a minority or a female, a) I never would have been able to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48; job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48; and a job-related professional license when I was 32 and b) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, IRS would not have hired me in 1971, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, GAO would not have hired me in 1980, and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. In my defense, since the 1960s, all those above me have been under tremendous pressure to give preference to those who are minority, female, and/or younger.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some people contend that these are part of America’s DNA, a product of the “white privilege” and “systemic racism” that must be highlighted in schools as defining characteristics of America. Until American history is taught this way, they say, we should cancel history classes. This view, however well-intentioned, neglects the full American story. We cannot negate or excuse the horror of slavery. As Abraham Lincoln said, “If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.” While every country has ugly parts of its past, America has the special burden of race-based slavery, segregation and discrimination. This can be hard to hear, but it needs to be said. . .If American history were essentially the story of white privilege and systemic racism, no patriotic American would have opposed slavery or segregation. . .If we cancel American history classes, students will never understand or learn from that story. If we teach young people that America’s past is fundamentally defined by white supremacy and systemic racism — if our history is, at its core, one of ugliness and oppression — they will never feel part of this country or be inspired by our struggle for freedom. They will never know the hard but hopeful story of America.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200821/suited-for-success-naperville-charity-outfits-jail-inmates-for-job-interviews-court
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen saved himself a bit of work last week. According to DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk Chris Kachiroubas, Jorgensen — a surgeon — responded “in a New York second” to a man in distress Aug. 15 at a restaurant. Jorgensen and Kachiroubas were at an informal monthly political lunch when a man began to flail about and stand up. The coroner grabbed him, sat him down and performed the Heimlich maneuver several times, dislodging a piece of meat from the man’s throat. “The Doctor Richard Jorgensen may have cheated the Coroner Richard Jorgensen,” Kachiroubas said at a county board committee meeting Tuesday. “That was pretty crazy,” Jorgensen told us. He was in medical school about the time the Heimlich maneuver became well-known and learned it there. He has performed it several times since, he said. As a med student, he taught it to his parents — and shortly thereafter, his father used it to save his mother. “Everyone should know the Heimlich,” he said. Why put the guy in a chair? Because he was big and tall. “I was concerned if he passed out,” Jorgensen said. “I was just blessed to be in the right place at the right time,” he added. And out of curiosity, he looked up how many people died in DuPage County last year from choking on food: seven.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The polarization started back in the 1960s, planned and carried out by the left. Remember during the Vietnam War, the left screaming about our troops killing babies? Yes, that’s when real political nastiness was put on steroids by the left, when the anarchists and socialist hippies in America abandoned all ethics and displayed unacceptable evil and violence when protesting the war. They started a national movement to refer to members of the American military as “baby-killers”; military people were ambushed at airports by leftist protesters.)

In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

NEW YORK TIMES
— Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris, who was born in California, does not meet citizenship requirements. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my outstanding parents and how they raised me. My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade Scholl in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with MSL.)
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/08/13/us/biden-vs-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump appeared to be referring to a widely discredited op-ed article written in Newsweek by John C. Eastman, a conservative lawyer who has long argued that the Constitution does not grant birthright citizenship, as proof. Ms. Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, was born in 1964 in Oakland, Calif., several years after her parents arrived in the United States. In the hours after Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced Ms. Harris as his running mate, a new crop of memes and conspiracy website posts began proliferating online, suggesting that the junior senator was an “anchor baby” because of her background. Mr. Eastman’s column tries to raise questions about the citizenship of Ms. Harris’s parents at the time of her birth, and argues that she may be “owed her allegiance to a foreign power or powers” if her parents were “temporary visitors” and not residents. Constitutional law scholars have argued that the argument against her parents is irrelevant and irresponsible because Ms. Harris was born in California.)

WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES
— Sen. Kamala Harris, the cancel culture cop – Scott Peterson
https://www.wdtimes.com/article_b23691dc-55c0-5187-ad0c-3c83d38d76b2.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe Biden would rather sate the appetites of his party’s culture warriors than unite a divided nation. That’s the central lesson from his choice of Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate. Harris is a vindictive culture war cop whose political and prosecutorial career has been built upon punishing those she finds deplorable. Biden has just raised the stakes of the 2020 election and relinquished his claim to being a “safe pick.” Not in our lifetimes has a nominee’s running mate been so consequential. His choice matters, not only because he is very old and clearly in decline but also because he is running to be a placeholder president. Biden was nominated not for his virtues but for his lack of the politically deadly vices that beset his opponents in this year’s primary. It is shocking that he would pick such a divisive No. 2, whose unpopularity outside the core Democratic base is abundantly evident. Harris collapsed in the presidential polls almost the moment she stepped into the spotlight. Despite being amply funded, she went from tied for second place at 15% in mid-July 2019 to low single digits by September. Harris’ favorability is underwater among independents, with 33% unfavorable to 25% favorable, and during her presidential run, she was never above water. Harris is not the pick Biden would make if he were trying to maximize his chances of winning the election. This is baffling if you believe, as the cable networks and graying old editorial pages have screamed, that getting rid of President Donald Trump is of utmost importance for the survival of the republic. No, you pick Harris if you are beholden to your party’s woke culture warriors. The left has largely won the culture war, securing gay marriage, saving Roe v. Wade, and normalizing transgender ideology. Now, they want to punish dissenters. This is Harris’ area of expertise. You can call it “cancel culture,” but that term is too benign. She is not a mere demagogue. She is a demagogue who will use the power of the government to punish “the other side.” She is a dead-on prosecutor, ”her mentor Willie Brown wrote,” and when she goes into that mode, watch out. She is out for blood.” As California attorney general, Harris prosecuted and persecuted pro-life undercover filmmaker David Daleiden for his work exposing Planned Parenthood’s trade in fetal remains. She seized his recordings while pursuing the abortion lobby’s endorsement for Senate. She was also the first prosecutor to use California’s eavesdropping laws against a journalist, all after secret consultations with the abortion provider. The government should treat pro-lifers like segregationists, Harris has argued publicly. A clear majority of the public, about 70%, believe there should be restrictions on abortion, but Harris wants to treat states that pass restrictions as if they are acting outside the bounds of democratic legitimacy. She’s called the Knights of Columbus “extremist.” She will attack “the bad guys” on the flimsiest grounds. Recall her bizarre line of questioning about the “Kasowitz law firm” during Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. When Kavanaugh looked confused by the questions, Kamala’s cheerleaders in the media credited her with a beautiful “prosecutorial beatdown.” It turns out there was nothing there but innuendo — empty badgering to make a political opponent look bad is just what an abusive prosecutor does in front of a jury. It’s her style. Harris’ presidential campaign was focused on dividing the country. Gun owners, pro-lifers, home-schoolers, and traditional religions will have reason to fear persecution in an administration where Harris has sway. We know she will have sway because the culture-war wing calls the tune in Biden’s Democratic Party. Biden will probably continue to talk about reuniting a country divided by Trump’s presidency. But as of today, nobody should believe it.)

FED SMITH
— How Racism in HR Practices Hides in Plain Sight – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, because of discrimination against minorities and because of discrimination against women, if I had been a minority or a woman, a) I would not have been able to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48; job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48; and a job-related professional license when I was 32 and b) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966; Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970; Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971; IRS would not have hired me in 1971; IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974; GAO would not have hired me in 1980; and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. However, my superiors have always been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. If I had been a Democrat, minority, woman, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors in the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2020/08/11/how-racism-hr-practices-hides-plain-sight/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Qualifications requirements are one of the biggest sources of racism in hiring and promotion. They are described as being the core of merit-based hiring, but are they really? If an agency decides it wants to hire only people with Bachelor’s degrees, but the job does not require a degree and the agency has no proof that a degree leads to higher performance, the agency is discriminating against people who lack a particular credential that is not needed for the job. When we look at this chart of census data on education and race, it becomes apparent that a degree requirement that is not valid is likely to make more white and Asian people eligible for the job, and fewer Black and Hispanic people eligible. Was the intent to be racist? Probably not, but the intent does not erase the racially biased outcome of the decision. There are other education-related practices that can result in racial disparities. For example, I have worked with many senior executives who like to recruit at particular schools (often their alma mater). Depending on the racial makeup of the school, the result can be racial disparity. Again, those are generally not cases where the person making the recruiting decision intends to discriminate based on race, but that is still the outcome. Racism also exists in performance ratings. . .Another good example of racism is in discipline and adverse actions. . .Agencies often rely on years of experience for hiring and promotion decisions. . .The hiring process itself is cloaked in the language of merit, yet it is remarkably subjective.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Chicago Protesters Surround Police Station Demanding Looters Be Freed – KHALEDA RAHMAN
https://www.newsweek.com/protesters-gather-chicago-police-station-1524230
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ariel Atkins, of Black Lives Matter Chicago, told The Chicago Tribune that the demonstration was in response to the police shooting of a man on Sunday and to demand the release of those arrested in the ensuing looting. Atlkins told the newspaper that protesters are “demanding that police be defunded. Police should not be here.” Atkins also suggested that the looting that took place was justified. “I think [the looting] is fine. People protest however they need to. People do whatever they need,” she said. “These businesses have insurance. They can get it all back. We can’t get our lives back once they kill us.” In videos posted on Twitter by LaRiviere, Atkins is heard telling the crowd outside the station: “We are in a pandemic. People are about to face evictions in numbers we have never seen before. “People don’t have a job. Why is [Chicago Mayor Lori] Lightfoot so stressed about some buildings when people are dying? “Why is she so OK with us being beaten and gassed, our lives threatened? Why is she so willing to put us away for life for looting?” In a tweet on Monday night, Black Lives Matter Chicago wrote: “Multiple people have been released since we started rallying. Direct action works.” Black Lives Matter Chicago have been contacted for additional comment.)

— The man Google loves to hate. Mississippi’s former AG waged a nine-year battle with Google that prompted the company to take him to court — provoking states that are now pursuing a potentially devastating lawsuit. – LEAH NYLEN (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are overjoyed that Google continues to refuse to treat www.gopillinois.com as being a news website.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/10/jim-hood-google-392585
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jim Hood antagonized Google for nine years as Mississippi’s attorney general, going after the internet giant for enabling the sale of illegal drugs, allowing pirated content to flourish online and serving up targeted ads to children. And Google fought back: Hood holds the title of the only U.S. public official the company has ever sued. Now Hood has returned for more. Earlier this year, he signed on as a consultant to the massive, multistate investigation into the company’s dominance online. Forty-eight states, D.C. and Puerto Rico are expected to file an antitrust suit against the company this fall — one that, paired with a federal antitrust probe, represents the biggest regulatory threat to Google’s business yet. The twin efforts target the heart of Google’s business: advertising and search, which are key to the company’s $160 billion annual revenue. The states’ decision to bring on Hood, who stepped down in January following an unsuccessful bid for governor, suggests they are expecting a drawn-out legal battle that will require persistence, and maybe a bit of an attack dog. “Dealing with Google is like dealing with a teenager,” the 58-year-old Democrat said in an interview. “They don’t follow the norms that other businesses do. Google will tell you one thing and do something different.” During his 16 years as Mississippi AG, Google was Hood’s biggest — and most elusive — target, spanning issues including antitrust, privacy, intellectual property theft and the power of state attorneys general to investigate tech. While other states and agencies opened investigations into Google during the same years, Hood mostly operated independently and kept going long after the others settled or let their cases drop.)

— Taking a Blowtorch to the President’s Dad A 911 call alerted cops in Woodhaven, Queens, to vandals preparing to deface a plaque to Fred Trump in a supermarket parking lot. One of them worked for Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. – Phil Campbell (DIERSEN: My outstanding father died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 years old and I was 21 years old. He had fought type 1 diabetes from age 14. He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy.)
