— Ever-increasingly, Democrats visit the sins of your forefathers on you. What were your ancestors doing in 1880s? On my father’s side, they operated Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side, they operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.

— Democrats crow that “Kamala Harris campaign says it’s raised $540 million and saw a surge of donations during the convention.” To give money to Democrats is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s not unusual to find the streets of downtown Geneva filled with cars, but Sunday brought an entirely different kind of traffic jam to the city’s central district. More than 300 antique and classic cars — some of them exceedingly rare — lined South Third Street from State to South streets as thousands of spectators packed the downtown for a glimpse of them during the Geneva Concours d’Elegance. Car owners from across the country travel to Geneva for the annual event, and a chance to win one of the coveted “Benz” Trophies awarded to the top vehicles.)

USA TODAY
— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)
