— Trump asks if Feinstein leaked allegation against Kavanaugh, says FBI probe may be ‘blessing in disguise’ The president told reporters he fully supported his Supreme Court nominee and said he has no backup plan to replace him. The allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh have reminded millions of Americans of the hard-drinking, hypersexualized “bro culture,” often associated with fraternities and prep schools. – Lauren Egan (DIERSEN: The “bro culture” did not attract me. I lived with my parents and brother while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I lived at University Plaza Dormitory for three semesters 1969-1970 and at Lincolnshire West Apartments for the 1970 summer session. I never even tried to join a fraternity.)

Ever-increasingly, far too many of the aforsaid promote identity politics, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)
https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/how-to-make-a-political-contribution/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make sure you can afford to donate Determine which “bucket” of your budget this donation will come from, says Craig Israelsen, executive in residence in the Financial Planning Program at Utah Valley University. Some buckets are off limits, like those for housing payments or utilities. And pulling from retirement savings is “questionable” at best, he adds. (“Our retirement is on us — nobody else is really responsible for that.”) But the money “has to come from somewhere,” Israelsen says. So would you dip into to your clothing or restaurant budget and offset a $100 contribution by, say, not shopping or dining out for a month? Would you pull $300 from your travel funds and, in doing so, commit to driving to Mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner rather than flying? Pausing to reflect on what you’d have to give up for this donation will help you rank its importance among other expenses. Maybe you decide to keep the restaurant dinners and either skip the donation or give less than you’d intended. (More on the value of small donations later.) Or maybe this reflection affirms that, yes, this contribution is important enough to make a sacrifice. (And if this exercise is a real head-scratcher, consider it your cue to build or revisit your budget.))

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/27/politics/kavanaugh-senate-impact-house/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the race against Republican Rep. Peter Roskam in the Chicago suburbs, Democrat Sean Casten has been honing in on Kavanaugh since his nomination in July, initially focusing on concerns that Kavanaugh might vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Decades ago, Roskam’s district was represented by Henry Hyde, the namesake of the Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for abortions. But the district’s complexion has shifted since Hyde’s time, and Casten has sought to capitalize on a growing pro-choice contingent. Casten has also used Kavanaugh’s nomination to criticize Roskam as a rubber stamp for the President; this week, the Casten campaign has promoted an ad on Facebook calling on Roskam to withdraw his support for the embattled nominee. But the dramatic hearing Thursday, including Ford’s tearful testimony, has upped the ante further. “I think it means we’re going to keep the pressure on (Roskam), that people should believe women,” said Greg Bales, Casten’s campaign manager. “She (Ford) showed incredible courage, and Peter Roskam doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Trump.” Roskam’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “This is an important issue,” Bales added, “and we’re going to continue bringing attention to it.”)

— Male, Female or ‘X’: The Push for a Third Choice on Official Forms New York City is the latest place to offer gender-neutral birth certificates. But after someone changes the sex to “X,” things get complicated. – Andy Newman (DIERSEN: Since the 1960s, the federal government has been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to meet Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets, that is, to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. To meet the aforesaid quotas, goals, and targets, will Democrats encourage potential and current federal employees a) to change their race to minority and b) to change their gender to female?)

They include activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)

— Kavanaugh High-School Friend Mark Judge, a Potential Key to Many Questions, Is Absent Writer has refused to appear for hearing, and says he doesn’t remember events Christine Blasey Ford alleges – Alex Leary and Siobhan Hughes (DIERSEN: What did you do during the summer before your senior year in high school? I worked full-time for the minimum wage for S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights either washing dishes or doing stock boy work. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I drove a 1958 Chevy BelAir. I saved all the money that I could to buy a new car to use to commute to classes at UIC the next year.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/kavanaugh-high-school-friend-mark-judge-a-potential-key-to-many-questions-is-absent-1538089901
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his book, Mr. Judge wrote of being “completely hooked” on alcohol the summer before his senior year, a disorder that he wrote he brought to his job bagging groceries at the local supermarket. “Invariably I would be hungover—or still drunk—when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together.” Mr. Judge graduated high school in 1983, which would have made 1982 the summer before his senior year. That is the same year that Dr. Ford has suspected the alleged attack may have occurred, although she said she could better pinpoint the time frame if she knew when Mr. Judge was working at a local Safeway grocery store, where she ran into him.)
— New Laws Aim to Make Work Hours More Predictable Research indicates regular schedules benefit staffers’ well-being; complications for employers – Rachel Feintzeig (DIERSEN: While I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I was “on call” 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Frequently, I was called in to work because my coworkers had called in sick or just failed to show up for work. Even though I would have available to work every Friday, every Saturday, every Sunday, every Monday, every holiday, and every day that NIU would not be in session, my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 saying that I would not be available to work enough days. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have filed a grievance to keep my job. But my Democrat superiors were doing everything that they could to make the Park Forest Post Office a “hostile workplace” for me. They stressed that I was avoiding the draft by seeking and obtaining student draft deferments. Virtually all my coworkers, supervisors, and superiors were veterans.)

Firestone Stores did not make me a counteroffer when Oldsmobile offered me a job in early 1971 when I was 22 years old. My Firestone Stores boss did not approve of my demographics, especially my being Republican, a draft avoider, 100% German national origin, and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Nevertheless, he did let me work part-time for him until the end of 1972.)

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.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Bruce Rauner says he’s a centrist while Republican, Democratic parties dominated by extremes – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Since at least 1977, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative extremists. These anti-conservative extremists reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the IRP platform. These anti-conservative extremists do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of the IRP, that is, they do everything that they can to destroy the IRP.)

— Rauner reaching out to suburban women – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-attorney-general-editorial-board-meeting-20180924-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban women have been a critical factor in deciding special elections this year and, amid their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is reaching out in a new ad. The ad features Anne Wedner, a former backer of President Barack Obama, who is founder of Kent Road Strategies, who has worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns with a focus on the North Shore. Billing herself as a lifelong Democrat, Wedner touts her childhood support for the Equal Rights Amendment and her dissatisfaction with national politics — a distancing effort from Trump aimed at helping Rauner in the suburbs while he seeks Trump supporter backing Downstate. “Today, I’m not happy with Washington and I’m also heartbroken about Illinois,” she says. “We have to fix our financial problems and Bruce Rauner is the only candidate with the courage to do it,” she adds. Wedner goes on to say the election “isn’t about party politics. This is about saving our state.” The suburban collar counties voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton over Trump — except for McHenry County — in the 2016 presidential and there are GOP fears that moderate suburban women will be a major factor in Illinois’ November elections because of the controversial president. The ad can be viewed here.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Plus, 2.0 would make more cuts to the estate tax that’s paid by only about 5,000 wealthy families — while permanently capping the $10,000 SALT (state and local tax) deduction that millions of taxpayers use. There’s more, but you get the drift.)

WASHINGTON POST
— ‘I know his heart’: Ashley Estes Kavanaugh revives old-fashioned script in newfangled era – Isaac Stanley-Becker (DIERSEN: Are you married? I have been married for 40 years. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious when I got married in 1978. They had always painted me as being someone who so bad that no one would marry me. Many of them were never married, were divorced, had spouses who had little or no income, and/or had major marital problems.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/25/i-know-his-heart-ashley-estes-kavanaugh-revives-old-fashioned-script-in-newfangled-era/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting to save his Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh was joined by his wife Monday for a Fox News interview. Ashley Estes Kavanaugh is a town manager in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a former aide in George W. Bush’s White House, where she and Kavanaugh met. The interview was powerful proof that, even in the #MeToo moment, Wynette’s call to “show the world you love him” still carries weight, as it did for Clinton, even though she disparaged the song. The comparison is especially fitting given Kavanaugh’s role — as associate counsel in the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr — in proposing sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Asked by Fox’s Martha MacCallum whether she doubted her husband, the mother of two daughters replied, “No. I mean, I know Brett — I’ve known him for 17 years.” “And,” she continued, as her husband glanced sideways to look plaintively at her, “this is not at all characteristic. It’s really hard to believe. He’s decent. He’s kind. He’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with Brett.”)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-internet/china-shuts-thousands-of-websites-in-clean-up-campaign-xinhua-idUSKCN1M302F
(FROM THE ARTICLE: China has shut down more than 4,000 websites and online accounts in a three-month campaign against “harmful” online information, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday, citing the country’s illegal publication watchdog. China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytizing and even “spreading rumors”. In a campaign that started in May, the authorities tackled 120 violations and ordered 230 firms to rectify irregularities. More than 147,000 pieces of harmful information were removed by the end of August, according to China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications. Xinhua said the campaign targeted content in online fiction that spread improper values, vulgarity and obscenity, as well as content that infringed on copyright. Authorities announced last week that they had busted a live-streaming pornography platform hosted in Cambodia and said to have more than 3.5 million registered users.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/business/brett-kavanaugh-yearbook-renate.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh’s page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the teenage years of the man who is now President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach. Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry: “Renate Alumnius.” The word “Renate” appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983 yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls’ school. Two of Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of the football players’ unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests. “They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” said Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge Kavanaugh and his teammates. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.”)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-school-mock-elections-st-0919-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students can be a harbinger for how the actual election might go. Becky Simon, president of the League of Women Voters of Naperville, said in past elections students have been accurate in picking the winners of the popular vote. Among the 14 percent of teens at the three local high schools who voted, Democrat J.B. Pritzker was favored by 62 percent of the nearly 1,200 teens who voted. Republican incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner came in second with 25 percent of the vote. In the 11th District Congressional race, incumbent Democrat Bill Foster led with 72 percent of the mock vote over Republican Nick Stella’s 28 percent. Democratic Secretary of State Jesse White, probably the most familiar candidate with teens because his name is on their driver’s licenses and driving permits, was the overwhelming vote-getter in all of the races, receiving 74 percent of the ballots cast. In the other races, the Democrats were on top with more than half of the teen vote.)

(ANTI-TRUMPS SAY: Illinois’s Sixth District The suburbs of Chicago were a base of the Republican Party before Mr. Trump. One need only visit a shopping mall in Burr Ridge or a youth baseball game in Barrington Hills to see throngs of the white, highly educated voters who are the electoral backbone of the area, and once voted solidly for presidential candidates like Mitt Romney. But if these voters have leaned right in the past, drawn to promises of lower taxes and smaller government, Mr. Trump has pitched many of them back in the other direction. In Illinois’s Sixth Congressional District, the president’s combustible persona and administration have put Republican candidates in dire peril. Jane Melvin, 55, said she has typically voted Republican in the past and still yearned for a version of the party that has been fading away. “If John Kasich was running in my district, I would vote for him,” said Ms. Melvin, referring to the right-of-center Ohio governor who routinely chides Mr. Trump. Ms. Melvin said she had long supported her congressman, Peter Roskam, but was reconsidering this year because Republicans had failed to check the president. “It’s a character question and a silence question,” she said. “Because they won’t stand up to Trump and say this is wrong.” Mr. Roskam, a former member of the House Republican leadership team, represents one of 21 seats where college-educated white suburbanites could upend the Republican majority in the House. Most of these seats, in relatively homogenous communities around cities like Minneapolis and Philadelphia, are seen as electoral toss-ups. In 2016, Mr. Roskam easily secured re-election by nearly 20 percentage points, but Mrs. Clinton carried the area in the presidential race by about seven points. A Times/Siena College poll found Mr. Roskam effectively tied with his Democratic challenger, Sean Casten, a clean-energy businessman. Mr. Casten has closed in on Mr. Roskam with help from voters like Karrie Sullivan, a former Roskam supporter who said she now favors divided government — both in Washington, where Republicans are in charge, and in Illinois, where Democrats may take full control of government in November. “It seems like the best situation is when neither party has complete control,” Ms. Sullivan said. Mr. Roskam, like other Republican candidates in similar wealthy suburbs, has tried to make the Republican tax overhaul an asset to his campaign. But many suburban voters have bristled at changes to federal deductions for state and local taxes. Highlighting the gulf between the Republican white-collar base and Mr. Trump’s hard-line following, candidates like Mr. Roskam have broken with Mr. Trump on critical issues like tariffs. Pursuing both wavering moderates and hard-core conservatives, Mr. Roskam said at a recent debate that he considered Mr. Trump’s performance “middling.” “Good on the economy, jumbling on other issues,” he said.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/congress-sean-casten-peter-roskam-illinois-poll-sixth-district-campaign-house/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Roskam campaign downplayed the latest poll. “Everyone knows this race is close, but as 6th district voters learn about Sean Casten’s alliance with Mike Madigan to oppose the property tax freeze and repeal the recent middle-class tax cuts, that he was sued by his own investors for mismanagement, and that he lobbied for special tax credits and taxpayer subsidies to prop up his own businesses, we are confident voters will stick with Peter Roskam who has been an effective leader for Illinois and is rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress,” Roskam campaign spokeswoman Veronica Vera said in a statement.)

— DuPage County Election Commission sued for moving election district boundaries – JOHN KRAFT
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/09/dupage-county-election-commission-sued-for-moving-election-district-boundaries/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Complaint has been filed against the DuPage County Election Commission alleging the commission moved boundaries of one precinct and two legislative districts without proper authority to move the boundaries. It involved moving certain properties out of Naperville Township Precinct #25, the 49th Representative District, and the 25th Legislative District. Those properties were moved, without authority into Naperville Township Precinct #6, the 41st Representative District, and the 21st Legislative District. It seeks to have the commission reverse its move and ensure that residents of certain real estate within the county vote in the legislative districts that they are actually part of, based on the most recent approved map. It asks the Court to order the commission to distribute the correct ballots to the properties in question, and order the commission to refrain from delivering the wrong ballot to those properties, and complains of a violation of voter’s rights. Complaint (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Verified-Complaint-for-Injunction-FILED-4848-7192-1011.pdf) Exhibits (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Exhibits-A-F-FILED.pdf) Candidate and incumbent State Representative Grant Wehrli is the Plaintiff. His attorney is Keri-Lyn Krafthefer of Ancel, Glink, Diamond, Bush, DiCianni & Krafthefer P.C. We understand there is a Hearing on the Complaint scheduled for September 19th in DuPage Circuit Court.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Kavanaugh allegation can’t be taken back – Rich Lowry
http://www.bostonherald.com/opinion/op_ed/2018/09/kavanaugh_allegation_can_t_be_taken_back
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh, who the day before yesterday was an unimpeachable pillar of the legal establishment, stands accused of a heinous offense that is almost impossible to definitively rebut. Even if he is completely innocent of the charge that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl at a high school party 36 years ago, he will be forever considered guilty of it by some portion of the public. This is not due process, or any kind of decent process at all, but how the Senate conducts its business, especially if you are a conservative jurist on the cusp of confirmation to the Supreme Court. A 51-year-old research psychologist named Christine Blasey Ford went public with the accusation in a Washington Post interview over the weekend, saying she feared for her life when the teenage Kavanaugh attacked her. The charge was inevitably viewed through the prism of #MeToo. But it lacks the credibility of allegations that have felled powerful men over the past two years. There is no contemporaneous corroboration. There is no pattern of conduct on the part of Kavanaugh. There is no weaselly, “Well, I don’t remember it that way, but I’m sorry if she was offended” denial; Kavanaugh rejects the charge categorically. Contrast the allegations against, to take a Republican from another moral universe, the Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. A key accuser from decades ago told friends about her relationship with Moore at the time. There was more than one allegation — indeed, Moore had a reputation for unsavory interest in teenage girls. When he first reacted to the stories, Moore gave a mealy mouthed denial.)

While Kavanaugh is Irish national origin, I am German national origin. If you were accused of wrongdoing by a woman, who would defend your integrity? My accusers would hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “guilty as charged” if the following failed/refused to defend my integrity: a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. members; b) past and present GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. employees; c) defendants in lawsuits that I have filed; d) all the candidates who have been on Republican primary ballots in my precinct since 2000, e) etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interesting twist, GOP Congressman Peter Roskam’s team hopes 6th District voters reject Democrat Sean Casten for the same reason they turned on Donald Trump in 2016. Republicans see Casten as vitriolic — in a President Trump sort of way — which would be a turn-off for Hillary Clinton supporters. Roskam ran away with a victory two years ago and those 6th District voters also gave Clinton a 7-point victory over Trump. Roskam’s supporters point to Casten’s Twitter storm Friday as an example of the Democrat’s lack of decorum. Between 7:36 a.m. and 7:48 a.m., Casten spit out 11 tweets that addressed Roskam’s record on everything from aid to Harvey victims to the Violence Against Women Act. Casten called Roskam “amoral,” saying the congressman “gives money to those who don’t need it, so they will in turn give him money to help stay in power and give them more.” Casten spokesman Greg Bale says it’s wishful thinking on Roskam’s part that 6th District Dems would side with a Republican this November. “They’re trying to create a narrative that’s just not there. The issues that we’re seeing driving this are choice (and we know Roskam is unapologetically anti-choice) and health care. That’s what voters are paying attention to.”)

— Audit: ‘Confusion’ in legislative watchdog’s office led to failures – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: What standards do your critics/opponents hold you to? My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates held me to much higher standards because I earned a) 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, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32 (licensed CPA).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But she said it was office Executive Director Randy Erford who failed to tell the commission about 27 allegations of wrongdoing sitting in a drawer, some for up to two years, while there wasn’t a full-blown LIG. “The fact that we had allegations coming in and were going unanswered, yeah, I was disappointed in that,” McConnaughay said. Beyond that, McConnaughay said she didn’t want to judge Erford without knowing what standards he was being held to, “which don’t appear to be many,” she said.)

I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. At Kresges, while Crete-Monee High School was in session, I worked 5PM-9PM Monday through Thursday and 9AM-5PM Saturdays. I worked full-time during the summer of 1965.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Are American muscle cars in peril? – TOM KRISHER (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents have always been anti-cars, anti-American nameplate cars, anti-muscle cars, and especially anti-Corvettes. What was your peak earning year? Mine was 1997 when I was 49 years old and earned $125,325/year in today’s dollars.)
http://www.herald-dispatch.com/business/are-american-muscle-cars-in-peril/article_3d7fb7d0-1ce0-50c1-8d93-3a820c3eea07.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet U.S. sales of the iconic Mustang, which leads the segment in 2018, fell 13 percent in 2016, almost 23 percent last year and 5 percent during the first half of this year. Sports car sales, including those from foreign brands, also have dropped during the past two years. Most muscle cars are owned by Baby Boomers, roughly 74 million people who were born from 1946 through 1964. But the youngest of the boomers are in their mid-50s now, and many are past their peak earning years and don’t have the money for a third car to go cruising. As the generation ages and enters retirement years, they’ll buy fewer new vehicles and fewer muscle cars will be sold.)

— Happy Constitution Day, if You Can Keep It The long-term survival of the Founders’ design depends on people, not parchment. – Don Willett (DIERSEN: According to anti-Americans, people come to America illegally only for good reasons, for example, because they “want a better life” and/or because they have no choice by to flee major negatives in their motherland. No one claims that they come to America because they want to assimilate and live under America’s Constitution. Anti-Americans teach immigrants how they can use America’s Constitution to get the federal government to a) give them even more preference and b) turn America into their motherland.)

— What Consumers Should Know About Commercial DNA Testing – Amy Dockser Marcus (DIERSEN: What is your national origin? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. 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. What if I had pretended to be Swedish? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin. I should write a book about those of the aforesaid who are of German national origin, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)
