— Biden must drop out of presidential race, for someone who can beat Trump. Biden must step aside for the good of America. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: If not Biden, who? If Biden would drop out for a candidate who could have a better chance of defeating Trump, who would that candidate be? In 2004, after Jack Ryan dropped out after winning the Republican U.S. Senate primary with 36% of the vote, the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced him with Alan Keyes, not Jim Oberweis who got 24% of the vote, not Steve Rauschenberger who got 20%, and not Andrew McKenna who got 15%. Obama defeated Keyes 70% to 27% in the general election.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Donald Trump’s debate references to ‘Black jobs’ and ‘Hispanic jobs’ stir Democratic anger. – AP (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I took jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line 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. In 1997, they forced me to retire early and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who have never held jobs like the ones I did make it very clear that they would never stoop to take them.)

In today’s dollars, I earned $12.08/hour. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966.

— My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I took jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line 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. In 1997, they forced me to retire early and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who have never held jobs like the ones I did make it very clear that they would never stoop to take them.

— It Has Never Been Harder, or More Essential, to Have a Work Best Friend. – Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling (COMMENT: While I was an employee 1964-1997, I had few work friends because I have always been a Republican and virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. Further, few of them shared my interests, my conservatism, my religion (Protestant), and/or my national origin (German.) Further, while many, most, and at times virtually all of them were veterans, while I was a draft avoider. Further, virtually none of them did what I did. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970. I earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. Further, virtually none of them had spouses who had good-paying jobs. Further, virtually all of them had health, financial, and/or other problems. Consequently, when my Democrat superiors took big adverse actions against, none of them came to my defense.)

— Political Polarization in the American Public (COMMENT: Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders and their mainstream media operatives ever-increasingly successfully tell voters what they should want and what their priorities should be. They are ever-increasingly getting voters to want if not demand more 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, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and notional origin discrimination.
