(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two-thirds of Black respondents support the protests, compared to just over one-third of whites and less than half of Hispanics. The division among party affiliations is even more stark: Three out of four Democrats say they support the protests, compared to fewer than one in ten Republicans.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump hater says “Trump’s Base Is Shrinking.” Trump’s base includes those who are law enforcement offices, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Italian American, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— 2020 Is The Year Of The Woman Donor: Campaign Contributions Surge – JIM ZARROLI (DIERSEN: Democrats shout at women that they should give money to Democrat candidates who promise to give preference to women, that is, who promise to discriminate against men.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/2020-year-woman-donor-campaign-contributions-surge#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This election cycle, the share of women giving money to political campaigns has already risen to 43.5% after never topping 28% in the 1990s — “a pretty significant jump,” says Sheila Krumholz of the Center for Responsive Politics. (The group looked only at donations larger than $200.) That surge provides women with greater political clout, and it could make a big difference in some of this year’s closest political races. While donations to both parties have risen, women tend to favor Democrats. President Trump has received 37% of his donations from women so far during this election cycle, while almost 48% of the contributors to former Vice President Joe Biden have been female, Krumholz says.)

THE REAL DEAL
— Supply glut may set downtown home market back a year Investors perceive Chicago as less of an opportunity, motivating selloff (DIERSEN: In 1974, when I was 25 years old, a) because IRS promoted me to a GS-12 (currently $85,084/year) job in its Loop office and b) because I was taking graduate business courses at Loyola, I bought studio condo in the Outer Drive East building and walked to/from work and classes. In 1976, when IRS was paying me $90,758/year in today’s dollars, I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo, continued to walk to/from work, and started to walk to/from graduate accounting classes at DePaul.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/larryelder/2020/08/27/kamala-harris-there-is-no-vaccine-against-racism-n2575123
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A vaccine against racism would be the worst possible nightmare for Democrats such as Harris and her running mate, Joe Biden. 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.)

— OPM is introducing a new records system titled “Federal Competency Assessment Records” that will collect and store OPM data to be used for training and development purposes. (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.)

— Trump targets Democrats over Pledge of Allegiance – TAL AXELROD
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/513218-trump-targets-democrats-over-pledge-of-allegiance
(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.)
