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.)

FED MANAGER
— 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.)

ABC7
— AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON CHICAGO TIGHTENS: DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, RACIST: Chicago Columbus statue protest: Elected officials, activists condemn Chicago Police Department actions after Grant Park rally escalates, some hospitalized Protesters had initially gathered by Buckingham Fountain for a Black Lives Matter demonstration
https://abc7chicago.com/community-events/chicago-officials-activists-condemn-cpd-response-to-columbus-statue-protest/6323279/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some members of the Chicago City Council commented on the protest on Twitter. Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa said, “Black and Indigenous Chicagoans and people from all across the city came together to do what our so-called progressive mayor refused and failed to do.” Ald. Daniel La Spata said, “Chicago may be the only ‘liberal’ city willing to brutalize Black and brown youth to protect a symbol of white supremacy.” At 9 a.m., several aldermen and Illinois officials gathered to condemn CPD’s response to the protest. . .United Working Families members Alderman Carlos Rosa, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez, Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, state Rep. Delia Ramirez, state Sen. Robert Peters, and Democratic Nominee Lakesia Collins planned to attend. Supportive elected officials who are unable to attend include Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Ald. Daniel La Spata, and Ald. Jeanette Taylor, the statement said. Participating organizations include Black Youth Project 100, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Chi-Nations Youth Council, the Black Abolitionist Network and United Working Families. The Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago also responded to the protest, saying in part “This was the work of evil minded people. They have been fueled by an educational system too lax in its reliance on a poor curriculum re the education of the legacy of Columbus, and abetted by the majority of the media who refuse to question the baseless revisionist history of the Columbus saga.” When asked for a comment from the mayor, a spokesman for Lightfoot’s office pointed to a Twitter thread. In it, Lightfoot said “I unequivocally support and will always fight for the rights of individuals to peacefully protest on any issue. The history and stories of the lives of Indigenous People here in Chicago need to be lifted up and celebrated. There is a dialogue that must be had to honestly confront the deeply ingrained history of racism and discrimination that has subjected Black, Indigenous and other communities of color in our city and our nation for too long.” She went on to say her team has been developing a plan to engage in a comprehensive review of the city’s public icons to identify what should change and where new monuments and icons should be erected. She said more details are coming. Some protesters came with frozen water bottles, rocks, bottles, cans and other gear to throw at officers, Lightfoot said. “People in the crowd also threw fireworks and other incendiary devices at police, causing injury in several cases. These violent acts are unacceptable and put everyone at risk,” LIghtfoot said. She also noted there have been several reports of police using excessive force. “These are also unacceptable,” she said. “This is a difficult moment in our history. I know Chicagoans are frustrated and impatient for change. It is my sincere hope that we can strike the right balance to ensure people can rightfully express themselves & their First Amendment rights, but do so in a way that does not put anyone’s physical safety at risk. That would be consistent with our long history of peaceful protest.” Anyone whom the police has mistreated should file a complaint through the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability or by dialing 311, Lightfoot said.)
