(FROM THE ARTICLE: LIVE PURPOSEFULLY Without work-imposed structure, some people start to drift, with one day blurring into the next. Setting goals and taking steps to achieve them can help restore a sense of purpose and achievement, O’Neill says. O’Neill started her post-Rutgers life by setting five goals: finishing the book she was writing; staying active in financial education; cultivating friendships; “doing lots of fun things and new things”; and staying healthy by walking 10,000 steps daily, eating healthy foods and getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. (Tending to your physical well-being is key: 81% of retirees in a 2014 Merrill Lynch study cited good health as a key ingredient for a happy retirement.) Achieving specific, measurable goals can help people redefine their concept of productivity, which is important to many people’s sense of self-worth, O’Neill says. Goals also can help offset a tendency to put things off. People who are used to saving and delayed gratification may have trouble “flipping the switch” to spending and enjoying their lives, O’Neill says. But time, good health and energy aren’t infinite. Many people in her 55+ community in Ocala, Florida, struggled during the pandemic not just because their plans were canceled, but because of an acute awareness that the clock was ticking, she says. “It wasn’t just two years lost, it was two good years,” O’Neill says. “You don’t know how many of those you have left.”)

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-to-defeat-the-activist-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A workable solution, therefore, to the problem of the activist media must necessarily be one in which postmodern theory is jettisoned in favour of a new approach. One which abandons the neo-Marxist oppressor/oppressed paradigm, and the ‘us v them’ mentality it fosters. One which rejects the denial of objective truths to which we can all hold. Truth, beauty, reason all exist, and we must not be afraid to say so.)

Some are seeing it immediately as ushering in a state government guided by the Critical Race Theory so many are opposing in school curriculum.)

DAILY HERALD
— Municipalities should not take sides in Pride politics – Mark Bodett, Wheaton (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, if you do not promote LGBTQ+, employers, organizations, governments, etc. get rid of you. I do not promote LGBTQ+.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210703/letter-municipalities-should-not-take-sides-in-pride-politics
(FROM THE LETTER: Third, why should the city of Palatine promote the LGBTQ+ agenda by celebrating Pride Month? To be clear, Pride Month is not about people. Pride Month is about politics and power. It is about demanding that everyone approve and support the LGBTQ+ movement, which again is a political movement. However, not everyone in Palatine agrees with the agenda of the LGTBQ+ movement. If we wish to live in free and diverse communities, we need to care about freedom of conscience and tolerance. People who are not aligned with the LGTBQ+ movement should not have their town taken over for political purposes one month every year. If individuals want to hang a rainbow flag on their house, that is their prerogative. If businesses want to put a rainbow in their window, that is their prerogative. But the village itself should be neutral and not make proclamations for one side or another. When the village government becomes involved, it puts pressure to participate on those who would rather not. The village in a free society should protect its citizens and business owners from coercive pressures, not encourage them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I did this to ensure that they have a better future,” Flores said. But his main reason for becoming a naturalized citizen, he said, was the ability to finally vote. “What if we get another president like Trump and he wants to kick us all out again?” Flores laughed. Donald Trump’s presidency was often criticized for anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies that slowed down the process, or made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens, said Carlos Arango, a pro-immigrant advocate in the Chicago area. Since taking office, President Joe Biden has issued an executive order to make the naturalization process more accessible, including making $10 million in grants for citizenship preparation programs.)

PATRIOT POST
— Biden’s Unconstitutional Workplace Indoctrination Scheme. The idea isn’t to foster debate. It’s used only to indoctrinate and compel acquiescence. – BETSY MCCAUGHEY
https://patriotpost.us/opinion/80979-bidens-unconstitutional-workplace-indoctrination-scheme-2021-06-30
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’re white and work for the federal government, get ready to be labelled a racist, regardless of how fair and open-minded you are. On Friday, President Joe Biden ordered all federal agencies to ramp up workplace training on “systemic and institutional racism” and “implicit and unconscious bias.” Those are buzzwords for critical race theory, which holds that all whites are biased against people of color, even if unconsciously. Under this theory, throughout American history and continuing now, whites oppress Blacks and need to acknowledge their guilt. Assume you work in an office with people of several races and, until now, you worked pretty smoothly as a team. Then you and your co-workers undergo mandated critical race theory training. Whites will be ridiculed as racists, and if they try to deny that, they’ll be told their denials are proof of their unconscious bias and “white fragility.” Black employees will understandably question if they can even trust their white co-workers and if they all have the same goals. Critical race theory is a disaster for workplace morale. Expect an avalanche of lawsuits challenging Biden’s efforts to saturate the federal workplace with this divisive doctrine. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 — still the law of the land, Mr. President — bars employers from allowing a toxic work environment. Federal regulation defines a toxic work environment as permitting “intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put downs” based on race, religion, age or other distinctions. That’s exactly what goes on in these training sessions. No one should have to put up with being called a racist as a condition of their employment.)

— ‘Help Wanted’ signs indicate lack of decent job offers, not people unwilling to work – Samuel Niu (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that instead of me, the aforesaid jobs should have been given to minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, veterans, disabled people, poor people, illegals, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
