A vaccine would produce the mother of all the emperor-wears-no-clothes moments. As with the Jackson/Sharpton cartoon, the elimination of racism would deprive Harris of liberals’ go-to excuse: Blame racism. Whether the disintegration of the Black family, urban crime, or support for public schools with high dropout rates and where those who remain in school often cannot read, write and compute at grade level, the left blames racism.)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Donald Trump, affirmative action case – ERROL LOUIS (DIERSEN: What did your parents do to help you attend college? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. They provided me with room and board a) while I attended UIC 1966-1968, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969.)
https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-donald-trump-affirmative-action-case-20200827-3ll5gczdbne6jpipf5tkjvl7bm-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s entirely fitting that the actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were sentenced to federal prison for their role in a college admissions scandal a day before the Washington Post published explosive audio recordings of Donald Trump’s older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, describing how the future president of the United States cheated his way into college. “He went to Fordham for one year [actually, it was two] and then he got into University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams,” Barry, a retired federal judge, told her niece, Mary Trump, apparently unaware that the phone conversation was being recorded. “SATs or whatever. That’s what I believe. I even remember the name,” Barry said. According to Mary Trump, a friend of Trump’s named Joe Shapiro allegedly took the entrance exam for him. Both scandals make clear why affirmative action exists at top-flight universities: Rich insiders have been gaming admissions for generations, scheming to grab every unfair advantage they possibly can. The finishing touch is the sanctimonious hot air blowing from opponents of affirmative action and their determined, decades-long legal war to ban universities from allowing any advantage — actual, implied or even accidental — to bright young Black and Latino applicants.)

(DIERSEN: While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, for IRS 1971-1980, and for GAO 1980-1997, the Democrats who ran those agencies downplayed, if not dismissed, the a) job-related education, b) job-related professional certifications, and c) job-related licenses that their employees who were Republican, White, and/or male had. They did that because their top priority was hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and the aforesaid had a) far less job-related education, b) far fewer job-related professional certifications, and c) far fewer job-related licenses. 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, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump took to Twitter to accuse Democrats of not uttering the word “God” in the pledge at this week’s Democratic National Convention. While the word was featured in the pledge at the convention every night for each of the four days, some of the speakers did not say it during the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly and the LGBTQ Caucus meeting, which were not part of the main programming, according to The Associated Press. “The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. 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.)

— Postal Service cuts imperil ladder to middle class for many Black Americans – ELEANOR MUELLER and KELLIE MEJDRICH (DIERSEN: Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a Black American in 1966 and b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black American could have my job.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/18/postal-service-cuts-imperil-ladder-to-middle-class-for-many-black-americans-398190
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That ticket to economic security could be in jeopardy now. If President Donald Trump and Congress fail to resolve their fight over Postal Service funding, it won’t just put the agency’s financial future at risk. It could imperil one of the country’s longest-running and most reliable civil service jobs, potentially forcing steep cuts to an estimated 669,000-person workforce that is more than one-quarter Black — a rate more than double that of the national labor force. The sheer reach of the post office in all 50 states combined with the federal government’s anti-discrimination policies have made employment there more accessible than most industries to generations of Black workers. The agency’s pay and benefits often allowed them to share in the American Dream even when racial discrimination was everywhere in the country. A unionized postal worker can make as much as $75,000 a year, well above the national average income.)

Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me as well as the fact that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and in Wheaton since 1978. 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.

All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.

NEWSMAX
— Nothing ‘Systemic’ About Avoiding Responsibility – Michael Reagan with Michael R. Shannon (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who focus on destroying traditional marriage and destroying the traditional family. To promote LGBTQ is to destroy traditional marriage and to destroy the traditional family.)
https://www.newsmax.com/reagan/brookings-secular-values/2020/08/15/id/982272/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America doesn’t suffer from “systemic racism.” America suffers from systemic irresponsibility. A lack of responsibility aided and abetted by therapeutic, leftist government. The Heritage Foundation’s multimaedia news organization, The Daily Signal, recently analyzed a report from the Joint Economic Committee of Congress titled “The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home.” The numbers are shocking and prove individual decisions determine one’s outcome in life. Not “systemic racism” or some other personal responsibility solvent. The foundation that individual decisions are based on is cultural values and that is where the problems begin. As values erode or are trashed by the prevailing secular culture, the result ripples dangerously through the population. “The report exhaustively presents data showing the shocking collapse of marriage and traditional family in America and then explores possible explanations for why it has happened. “In 1962, 71% of women ages 15-44 were married. “By 2019, this was down to 42%. In 1962, 5% of women ages 30-34 had never been married. By 2019, this was up to 35%. And the percentage of births to unmarried women has risen from 5% in 1960 to 40% in 2018.” The demographic breakdown of those ominous figures explains much of what is ailing and attempting to destroy our nation today. The Center for Equal Opportunity reports, “Late last year, the final data for 2018 were published . . . For all racial and ethnic groups combined, 39.6% of births in the United States were out-of-wedlock. For blacks, the number is 69.4%; for American Indians/Alaska Natives, 68.2% (Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders were at 50.4%); for Hispanics, 51.8%; for whites, 28.2%; and for Asian Americans, a paltry 11.7%.” Those figures alone explain the different economic outcomes among demographic groups in the USA. Not “systemic racism” or “white privilege.” Two–parent privilege is the most important factor in a young child’s life. Yet big government encourages irresponsible lifestyles by subsidizing dysfunction. The Daily Signal again, “The report examines several possible factors, a major one being the dramatic growth in the welfare state supporting female heads of household. According to the report, ‘The value of the safety net for single-mother families is 133% higher today than in 1940, and 56% higher than in 1960.'” That is the government undermining personal values at the expense of those children’s and the nation’s future. The three keys to success are simple and the formula was offered by a scholar with the leftist Brookings Institution named Ron Haskins: “American adults who follow three rules— finish high school; get a full-time job; and wait until at least age 21 to get married and have children — have a 2% chance of being poor and a 75% chance of being a middle-class wage earner.” Proving it’s not the system blocking progress for minorities in the United States. It’s personal decisions.)
