— Yes, we should keep teaching the hard but hopeful story of America – JEFFREY SIKKENGA (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a conservative White male Republican, the more successful that you are, a) the more that you benefitted from “White privilege” and b) the more that you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. 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.)
