has reached a breaking point. Will Friday’s ruling on LGBTQ issues split the
church? – Elyssa Cherney (DIERSEN: Has a church split impacted you? The Trinity
Lutheran split in Crete in 1961 when I was 13 years old impacted me big time. I
should write a book about the Wisconsin Synod Lutheran’s (WSL) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Evangelical_Lutheran_Synod)
success in defeating the Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran_Church%E2%80%93Missouri_Synod)
in the Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Crete(https://www.trinitycrete.org/trinitycrete/_)
in 1961. That had a tremendous impact on me, on my brother, and on my parents.
The defeated MSLs, including me, my brother, and my parents, went to the MSL
Hope Lutheran Church and Grade School in Park Forest (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-Lutheran-Church/142202365812738).
My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes viciously demonize,
denigrate, and condemn MSLs as being too conservative, but WSLs are more
conservative than MSLs)

EPOCH NEWS
— Challenges From Legal and Illegal Immigration – David T. Jones (DIERSEN:
Have you held “dirty” jobs? My critics/opponents, their operatives,
and their dupes have made it very clear that they would never have stooped to
take the jobs that I did. 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.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/challenges-from-legal-and-illegal-immigration_2896589.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More
than a generation of desultory control over illegal immigration is the
consequence of wink-and-nod implicit agreement between Republicans and
Democrats. Republican entrepreneurs/citizens have benefitted from cheap
crop-pickers and service workers. Democrats have viewed them as a prospective
reservoir of votes, once maneuvered into citizenship. There is a simple albeit
draconian answer: specific visas for specific periods (harvest seasons) and
specific jobs with no qualified U.S. applicants rigorously enforced by
mandatory ID/E-Verify registration. And instant deportation for all not meeting
these requirements. The rationale that our current low unemployment rate
justifies these illegals is risible: if you want workers for “dirty” jobs—pay
them more and they will emerge.)

that I could have gotten one. Nether of my outstanding parents attended
college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school
diploma. My mother never attended high school. I just barely got into the upper
20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I had not demonstrated any leadership
abilities – I washed dishes for the minimum wage 1964-1966. I was draft bait,
that is, I was classified 1-A for the draft notwithstanding the fact that my
eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color
blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease.)
