— Juneteenth, Gay Pride Celebrations Allowed In City That Canceled Independence Day Parade – Joseph Curl (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, months ago, Wheaton should contracted with the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums, Wheaton North High School Band, and Wheaton Warrenville South High School Band to march in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade subject to Pritzker allowing the parade to go forward.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/juneteenth-gay-pride-celebrations-allowed-in-city-that-canceled-independence-day-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interview on Fox News, organizer Jamie Black said the city’s Fourth of July Association “made the decision in March based on the information that we had at that time.” “There are deadlines for permits and to secure the fireworks, as well as taking applications for the parade that happen early in the year,” Black said. “We erred on the side of caution. If things weren’t better, we would have been criticized for being a super spreader event.”)

— Are reparations the answer to America’s historic racial wealth gap? (DIERSEN: Who are your peers? My peers are those who share my demographics (White, male, Missouri Synod Lutheran, and German American), who took college preparatory classes at Crete-Monee High School, and who graduated with me in the top 20% our class in 1966. If you have more money than your peers, what do your critics/opponents attribute that to? According to my critics/opponents, I have more money than my peers a) because I have had better health than my peers, b) because I avoided the draft, c) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, d) because of my wife’s income, e) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, f) because my federal retirement benefits are too generous, g) because I do not give money to a church, h) etc. In my defense, 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. In my defense, I have always spent far less money on immediate pleasures than my peers and I have saved far more for my retirement than my peers.)
