— Princeton Joins Move Back to Standardized Testing. DD: How has standardized testing impacted you? UIC would not have accepted me in 1966 if I had not gotten an ACT score of 24 and graduated in the upper 20% of my class. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966 if I had not passed the postal employment examination and earned a high school diploma. Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970 if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU. IRS would not have hired me in 1971 if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. GAO would not have hired me in 1980 if I had not earned an MBA from Loyola and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.

— Texas GOP censures five lawmakers. DD: I should write about the following who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

— Immigration without assimilation labelled ‘reckless beyond belief’ DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly fight assimilation. All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. Their slow assimilation held them back. All my grandparents spoke German. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.
