— German president expresses ‘sorrow’ for Holocaust, warns ‘spirits of evil’ are rising – TAL AXELROD (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, the worst national origin to have is German. What if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. Again, what if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry?))

I should write a book about the aforesaid and how they are ever-increasingly dumping individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

DETROIT FREE PRESS
— Man who paid $3M for the first 2020 Corvette Stingray says he’ll never drive it – Jamie L. LaReau
https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2020/01/23/first-corvette-auction-rick-hendrick/4531737002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corvettes have been good to car dealer and racing legend Rick Hendrick. He had his first date with his wife in one nearly half a century ago. Then, in 1976, he sold that same Corvette to pay for his first car dealership in South Carolina. Today, he owns 94 dealerships, 15 of which are Chevrolet stores, from the Carolinas to California (none in Michigan). But the Corvette that Hendrick, 70, bought on Saturday is in a different league. It’s the one of his boyhood dreams. It is the first mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray. “I’ve been going to those auctions for 25 to 30 years and I’ve bought a lot of No.1s at auction for charity,” Hendrick told the Free Press this week. “But nothing like this car. This had bidders from all over the world. It was so much drama. When you have the CEO of General Motors on the stage, that’s a big deal.” Hendrick happens to own one of the largest private collections of Corvettes in the world, including several with VIN number 0001. He is a member of the Corvette Hall of Fame Class of 2015. So it’s fitting that the mid-engine Corvette with VIN number 0001 would wind up in Hendrick’s garage, even at an eye-popping $3 million. The money is donated to the Detroit Children’s Fund.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— The ‘Hidden Consensus’ for Affirmative Action New book says campuses are far less polarized on the issue than is widely believed. – Scott Jaschik (DIERSEN: Because of ever-increasing pressure to give preference to those who are minority, female, poor, and/or veteran, I doubt that UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, or IIT would admit me today like they did in 1966, 1969, 1972, 1976, and 1992 respectively.)
