— Confronting Gerrymandering: The Power of Just Data – Collin Riggins
(DIERSEN: Only 157 in my precinct voted for Trump while 269 voted for Biden. LGBTQ-promoting churches are just north and just south of my precinct. My precinct’s polling place is the LGBTQ-promoting and BLM-promoting church just south of the precinct. About half the homes in my precinct are represented on Wheaton City Council by an LGBTQer whose wife is an LGBTQ activist. Ever-since the 2015 gerrymandering, my precinct contains the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration building, a public grade school, and a public middle school. My precinct has fewer middle-income voters, more lower-income voters, and more upper-income voters than many other precincts. My precinct has had more turn over (home sales teardowns) than many other precincts. From what I see, about 4 out 5 times when a home owned by Republicans is sold, it is bought by Democrats.)
https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2021/04/gerrymandering-data-census-redistricting-just-data
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For example, Kmetz outlined a problem in the electoral system that affects communities nationwide: there is currently not a centralized database for election results on the precinct level. As a result, the impact that smaller communities have in elections is obscured. Kmetz stated that this “makes it difficult to determine how changing district lines could impact elections.” So, rather than taking very zoomed-out election results as they are, the Lab started a project called OpenPrecincts. Working with local organizations to ensure their use of data is collaborative, transparent, and just, OpenPrecincts is a database that offers precinct-level election results for all 50 states. That way, context can be attributed to data, which can help explain disparities in voter turnout, the prevalence of gerrymandering, and other areas for structural change.)

— Pritzker digs Chicago financial hole deeper by increasing city firefighter pensions – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner
https://wirepoints.org/pritzker-digs-chicago-financial-hole-deeper-by-increasing-city-firefighter-pensions-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. J.B. Pritzker dug Chicago’s financial hole deeper this week, signing a bill that increases the pension benefits for Chicago firefighters. That follows his expansion of the Chicago Teachers Union’s collective bargaining powers last week, sure to result in larger budget deficits and more chaos for the city’s school system. The new pension law grants all Chicago firefighter retirees a 3 percent annual compounded increase (COLA) to their pensions. Prior to the law, retired firefighters born after 1/1/1966 received only a 1.5 percent simple increase every year. Now, those 2,200 additional firefighters will get the 3 percent COLA. You have to wonder if none of Pritzker’s advisers told him that the Chicago firefighter plan is just 18 percent funded, among the worst funded plans in the country. Or that it and the rest of the city’s plans are running out of assets – the firefighter plan’s assets are less than four year’s worth of payouts. Well-funded plans across the nation have assets worth at least 20 years of future payouts.)

REFINERY 29
— Is Early Retirement Actually Worth The Cost? – WHIZY KIM
(DIERSEN: If you are not retired, when you do retire, what will you do with the rest of your life? If you are retired, what are you doing with the rest of your life? My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Since 2000, I have been putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. Those newsletters a) have gone out each and every morning since 2004, b) have gone out each and evening too since 2015, c) have included links to almost 396,900 articles and information on many upcoming events, and d) have been and always will be free and contain no advertising.)
https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2021/04/10409276/early-retirement-cost-experiences

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The retirement fantasy used to look like this: It’s your 65th birthday, and you can finally kick back. You’re basking in the glow of your sunset years, thrilled at the idea of never having to work again. Head empty, no thoughts, just Mai Tais on the beach. It’s the ultimate, idyllic reward for dedicating decades of your life to work — especially when you sometimes (or often) didn’t want to do so. In reality, retirement looks totally different than it once did — even as a fantasy. At the same time as an increasing number of Americans are retiring later than 65, many others are throwing as much money as they can toward the goal of retiring early — not just by their 50s, but in their 30s or 40s. The F.I.R.E. movement, which stands for “financial independence/retire early,” has gained a lot of disciples in recent years, but it also has its detractors. Some people love the idea in theory, but don’t think it’s feasible for them in practice. Others wonder what you do with the rest of your life if you retire in your 30s. But many of those who are on the F.I.R.E. path are quick to point out that early retirement isn’t necessarily about never working again. Instead, it’s about having more control over the work you choose to do. Ultimately, the question isn’t simply whether it’s realistic for the average person — it’s also about whether the costs of pursuing early retirement are worth it.)

— Affordable Housing Should Be a Priority – Jamelle Bouie
(DIERSEN: Where did your down payment come from? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974 and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. The down payments came from what I earned working for IRS. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978. The down payment came from what she had earned working for the FBI and U.S. League of Savings Institutions (League). We had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984. The down payment came from the equity that we had in our home and from what I earned working for GAO and from what my wife earned working for the League.)

— Vaccine passports are latest flash point in COVID politics – MARK SCOLFORO
(DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want vaccine passports to be required so that they can use that requirement to more rapidly and more viciously destroy those who are not vaccinated.)
https://apnews.com/article/travel-new-york-data-privacy-immunizations-coronavirus-pandemic-f1c7623849d5458bcda3aed67f4c3d90
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The argument over whether passports are a sensible response to the pandemic or governmental overreach echoes the bitter disputes over the past year about masks, shutdown orders and even the vaccines themselves. . .But lawmakers around the country are already taking a stand against the idea. GOP senators in Pennsylvania are drawing up legislation that would prohibit vaccine passports, also known as health certificates or travel passes, from being used to bar people from routine activities. “We have constitutional rights and health privacy laws for a reason,” said Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, a Republican. “They should not cease to exist in a time of crisis. These passports may start with COVID-19, but where will they end?” Benninghoff said this week his concern was “using taxpayer money to generate a system that will now be, possibly, in the hands of mega-tech organizations who’ve already had problems with getting hacked and security issues.”)

Several House Democrats facing midterm campaigns in 2022 received a surprise in the form of $5,000 from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The contributions were sent in an effort to help the House majority stay ahead of a tough upcoming election cycle without contributing directly to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — which AOC has been publicly against. She created a political action committee (PAC) to raise money for progressive primary candidates herself after she criticized DCCC policies.)

https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/opinion-columns/victor-davis-hanson/victor-davis-hanson-the-10-radical-new-rules-that-are-changing-america-2321809/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. . .2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”. . .3) Racialism is now acceptable. We are defined first by our ethnicity or religion, and only secondarily — if at all — by an American commonality. . .4) The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. . .5) Most Americans should be treated as we would treat little children. . .6) Hypocrisy is passe. Virtue-signaling is alive. . .7) Ignoring or perpetuating homelessness is preferable to ending it. . .8) McCarthyism is good. Destroying lives and careers for incorrect thoughts saves more lives and careers. Cancel culture and the Twitter Reign of Terror provide needed deterrence. . .9) Ignorance is preferable to knowledge. . .10) Wokeness is the new religion, growing faster and larger than Christianity. Its priesthood outnumbers the clergy and exercises far more power. Silicon Valley is the new Vatican, and Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter are the new gospels.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Inside a stealth ‘persuasion machine’ promising Republican victories in 2022 – Isaac Stanley-Becker
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-midterms-digital-influence/2021/04/03/391103a8-8c0e-11eb-a730-1b4ed9656258_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Culture Project is set up as a social welfare organization exempt from disclosing its donors or paying federal income taxes but, in exchange, barred from making politics its primary focus. The project is led by an Illinois-based conservative activist, John Tillman, who also oversees a libertarian think tank and a news foundation that recently received grant money to highlight opposition to public health restrictions. Tillman, who declined to be interviewed for this story, wrote in an email that the American Culture Project’s objectives are “issue education and advocacy (not electioneering).” “We focus on reaching millions of Americans who can no longer rely on traditional media to become fully informed on a diversity of views on the issues of the day,” he wrote. “By reaching millions of Americans with a broader, more wide ranging set of issues and ideas, we think that voters will make decisions that will elect people, whether Democrat or Republican, that believe in America’s founding principles, and particularly the Bill of Rights.” While data collection and digital ad targeting have become commonplace in political campaigns, what’s unusual about the American Culture Project, experts said, is how it presents its aims as news dissemination and community building. It touts transparency and civic engagement using an online network whose donors remain private — part of a bid to shape public opinion as local news outlets crater and social networks replace traditional forums for political deliberation. The arrangement “puts the lie to the public presentation of these nonprofits as public welfare organizations that might happen to do a little politics,” said Noah Bookbinder, president of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “It shows the system is being abused in ways we knew were happening but you usually don’t see quite so blatantly.”)

FORTUNE
— JULY 16, 2020 FLASHBACK: Are you willing to pay for news? The future of journalism may depend on it – JENNIFER HOEWE and BRETT SHERRICK
https://fortune.com/2020/07/16/american-journalism-crisis-save-news-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The following strategies should help news consumers make these decisions: Think about where you get your news. Are you selecting information just because it agrees with you? Don’t do that. Pick news sources that do more than simply cater to a partisan audience. Make sure you’re differentiating between news and commentary. Good news organizations should clearly demarcate what is news and what is opinion content. Check the news organizations’ use of sources. Are the sources they use in their news stories credible and considered experts in their field? Keep in mind: Experts are often people other than politicians. Look for journalistic standards. A good news organization should have a code of ethics or clear reporting guidelines posted on its website. If you spot a piece of information on social media or a news aggregator, first make sure the information originated with a legitimate news organization (using the other steps listed here). Then visit the site of the news organization that created the original content to ensure it will earn ad revenue for that content. Read full articles, not just headlines (or Facebook posts or tweets). In-depth reporting provides more context, which is part of why it’s worth paying for.)

THE DRIVE
— Everyone who’s window-shopped car auction sites has seen their share of classics with glistening paints and low miles, but no apparent reason for having been treated like unicorns. Take as an example the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3 on Bring A Trailer right now—it’s nothing all that special as Corvettes go, but it was preserved like a C2 L88, covering just 3,286 miles in 45 years. Who does this, and why? Who makes what many would consider a landmark car purchase only to drive it fewer miles each year than they walk on their two feet? – JAMES GILBOY
(DIERSEN: I took delivery of my 1972 Corvette on October 14, 1971; it has 5,143 miles on it today.)

— Are Classic Chevrolet Corvettes Prices Already Past Their Peak? The Answer Is Complicated. Rather than break a Corvette auction record at Mecum in March, a rare C2 L88 fizzled. Has Boomer nostalgia reached its limit? – JAMES GILBOY
https://www.thedrive.com/news/39924/are-classic-chevrolet-corvettes-prices-already-past-their-peak-the-answer-is-complicated

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, are we past peak C2? If you define that as the maximum of what one can be worth, then the answer would appear to be probably. The generation for whom the C2 is probably most evocative, Baby Boomers, are slowly getting too old to drive these symbols of their childhood. But while they account for the biggest percentage of C2 owners insured by Hagerty, at 40 percent, they are actually outnumbered by Gen X and Millennial policy-holders, who own 48 percent of the C2s Hagerty insures. Not all of midcentury America’s icons have stood the test of time, but as demonstrated by younger generations taking up the C2 ownership mantle (and at slowly increasing cost), this Corvette has.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is at war with Trumpism, but GOP ‘tribes’ are heavily against him – ERIC ZORN
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I am a member of the Republican Party’s platform tribe.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/eric-zorn/ct-column-kinzinger-trump-republican-tribes-poll-fabrizio-zorn-20210402-ttjzojzj3rgivi7rxxc4upf4em-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bad news for Kinzinger is that a recent national survey of more than 1,200 Republican voters found that only 15% fall into the “Never Trump” category. The survey, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee and Associates, a Republican polling firm, and released in March, sorted the GOP into five “tribes,” four of which are populated by Trump fans. The “Diehard Trumpers” tribe makes up 27% of the party, the survey found. Members of this group said they “believe Trump should still lead the party,” will definitely support him if he runs for president in 2024 and consider themselves more Trump supporters than Republicans. The “Infowars GOP” tribe — the crackpot caucus — makes up 10% of the party and its members believe “several conspiracy theories pushed by QAnon” as part of their near unanimous support of Trump. The “Trump Boosters” tribe makes up 28% of the party, according to the poll findings. These Republicans give the ex-president “very strong job approval ratings” and show a preference for Trump in a theoretical primary ballot. The “Post-Trump GOP” tribe, 20% of the party, has a “strong, positive opinion” of Trump, but members say they think it’s time for him to step back. Yet only 5% of that tribe expressed support for the theoretical 2024 candidacy of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the most Kinzingeresque of the potential Republican presidential hopefuls. Overall, 88% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Trump’s presidency and 57% said they’d definitely vote for him if he runs again. And while, yes, Anthony Fabrizio worked as a pollster for Trump in 2016 and 2020, FiveThirtyEight’s pollster rating gives his firm decent marks and says its results skew slightly Democratic. Further, the overall image emerging from the Fabrizio Lee poll of the GOP as a party in cultish thrall to Trump is born out by news story after news story of moderate Republican officeholders under threat or heading for the exits. Kinzinger hasn’t announced his political plans yet and did not return my request for comment. But if he runs for reelection in 2022 the “fight and battle” he envisions looks to be far tougher than just “difficult.”)

CONSERVATIVE HQ
— What’s Jesus coming back for? – George Rasley
https://www.conservativehq.org/post/what-s-jesus-coming-back-for
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan and a committed Evangelical Christian preached an Easter sermon about sin at Whites Ferry Road Church in his hometown of West Monroe, LA. The substance of the sermon, based on a verse from Corinthians defining “sinners,” eventually got him pushed out of his TV show and generally deplatformed. “Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God,” preached Mr. Robertson. The New York Post reported that during the time Mr. Robertson was preaching the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch got tremendous rounds of applause and cheers. Does anyone reading this believe the cheers and applause were because the audience was free of sin, or that no one in attendance had checked any of the boxes on the list Paul gave us in his letter to the church at Corinth? If you do, we have a bridge in Brooklyn and a couple of New Age books to sell you, cheap.)

— Under federal scrutiny, Madigan, Solis collecting lucrative government pensions. The former speaker just got his first check amid an ongoing investigation. The ex-alderman has gotten nearly $170K since resigning. Pensions of other pols facing probes are uncertain. – Tim Novak (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most because I have had since I was 49 years old in 1997 a) an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently, $4,572/month $54,864/year) and b) a 72% health, dental, and vision insurance federal subsidy. I would focus on those who have demonstrated their unbridled hatred the most against federal employees and against federal retirees. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years – almost 18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office. 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.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/4/2/22362398/michael-madigan-danny-solis-pensions-edward-acevedo-luis-arroyo-berrios-tobolski-zalewski
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Madigan, 78, lost the speaker’s post in a vote in January of his Democratic colleagues in the House, then resigned from the House seat he held for 50 years and also stepped aside as chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. He got his first pension check — for $7,093 — on March 24. Madigan’s annual pension is $85,117. It will increase 75% in July 2022, to $148,955. That huge increase is the result of two factors — an automatic 3% cost-of-living increase and 24 other increases of 3% each, one for each year he served once he reached his 55th birthday and 20 years of service. During his time as speaker, Madigan contributed $352,345 to the General Assembly Retirement Fund. He stands to recoup all of that in about three years.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Real Five Laws of American Politics – John Green
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/03/the_real_five_laws_of_american_politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Political Science Association asserts that there are Five laws of politics. These are: Only a minority of citizens will ever vote, Incumbents always have an advantage, It’s rare for anyone to garner over 60% of the vote, Incumbents loose support during their term, and Parties tend to alternate in office. . .However, I believe you’ll find them much more predictive of American political behavior, and associated outcomes, than mere observations. Law 1 – Democrats accuse Republicans of doing that which they’ve already done. . .Law 2 – When it’s most critical, Republicans will never work as a team. . .Law 3 – Politicians assert that they are following the science, when their intent is to curtail personal freedoms. . .Law 4 – When the government offers to help, the best result is achieved by declining. . .Law 5 – When Politicians invest taxpayer money, the investors shouldn’t expect any return. . .To summarize: The next time a Democrat accuses a Republican of a scandal, start an investigation — of the Democrat. When Republicans say they’ll work together if we just give them a chance — start identifying primary challengers. Never give up God-given liberties in the name of science — which is never really settled. When the government says, “we’re here to help,” ask them to help by leaving. Finally, the next time a politician “invests” your money, recognize that it’s state-sponsored robbery — you’re not getting anything back.)

That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)

— Global Chip Shortage Means Thinner New-Car Supply, Higher Prices. If you’re shopping for a new car or truck right now, you’ll find that the worldwide shortage of semiconductors is interfering with both supply and choices. – SEBASTIAN BLANCO
(DIERSEN: Reasons why I recently ordered a loaded Chevrolet Malibu Premier to use as a daily driver during the spring, summer, and fall include: a) my 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Sport is not going to last forever and it will be used as a winter car, b) I am leery of buying used cars, c) I will only buy American-nameplate gasoline cars, d) the Malibu might be discontinued soon, and e) I have indoor space to store cars. Your comments/suggestions would be appreciated.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Loyola Academy in Wilmette asks students how they ‘wield’ white privilege in assignment – Jonathan Garber
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers crank out “good little Democrats” who are full of hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fox6now.com/news/chicago-area-prep-school-asks-students-how-they-wield-white-privilege-in-assignment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Loyola Academy, which boasts high-profile alums such as comedian Bill Murray and actor Chris O’Donnell, has 2,094 students in grades 9 through 12 and costs $17,750 per year. About 80% of students are White, 6% Asian, 5% Black and 5% Hispanic. Loyola’s website says the school is committed to building a “welcoming, accepting school culture and climate in which all members feel a genuine sense of belonging.” However, another student, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, noted that ethics and sociology classes at the school are “very left-leaning” and that one exam being administered this week teaches kids there are 72 different genders. A second student speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that it’s “shamed upon to be a conservative.” Some students, including Brennan, recently tried to start a chapter of Turning Point USA, an organization that advocates conservative narratives on school campuses, but were told by student activities group leaders Melissa Krein and Noah Hartman that they were not allowed to do so because the group is “anti-Semitic and racist.” The students were told, before a meeting to discuss the club had even begun, that there was a zero percent chance the chapter would be allowed on campus. A Zoom meeting held after the students were denied the ability to start a Turning Point chapter alerted parents to the “overlying problem” with what the kids were being taught, Brennan said. Since then, the students started a petition that has received over 170 signatures voicing support for a Turning Point chapter on Loyola’s campus. Loyola Academy needs conservative voices like Turning Point USA more than ever before, and it’s exactly why they are fighting to keep us out,” said Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk is a frequent guest on Fox News and FOX Business. In the end, the students just want to go to a school where everyone’s voice can be heard. Loyola Academy is trying to make itself a more inclusive place, but “while doing so they have failed to include conservative voices,” Brennan said. The school has been “transformed into a social justice powerhouse,” said the first student speaking anonymously. “That’s not what school is. It’s supposed to educate, inform and give kids the opportunity to form their own opinions and critically think on their own.”)

— Lyons Township HS Conservative Group Meets Without District OK The student chapter of Turning Point USA has met on Zoom since December while an online petition has surfaced to keep it from gaining status. – Jeff Arnold
(DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want me to get an OK from the following to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. My critics/opponents stress how the aforesaid have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000.)
https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/lyons-township-conservative-group-meets-without-district-backing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order for the group to be an official club by district standards, several things must occur, Bialobok wrote. The person proposing the club or activity must answer all questions in the Proposal Questionnaire — such as, a description of the club, a description of the lessons, experiences or benefits of the club, and where, when and how often the club will meet, etc. The person proposing the club or activity must also submit the New Club/Activity Petition, which should include at least 25 signatures from current LTHS students who would agree to join the club or activity should it be approved. The Stipend Committee, which meets four times per year, must decide whether to recommend the proposal to the Board of Education’s Human Resource Committee, to return the proposal with suggestions, or to reject the proposal. According to Bialobok, the Stipend Committee meets four times a year and would need to approve a club for a one-year pilot program. For the club to achieve full club status (which includes a stipend for the sponsor), the Stipend Committee, the district’s central office, the board of education’s human resources committee, and full board must approve. Meanwhile, a petition posted on Change.org entitled, “Keep hateful organizations out of Lyons Township High School” recently appeared online. As of Tuesday, the petition only had 12 signatures after being started by a poster with a username of “Concerned student.” The petition takes exception to the organization’s approach to “friendly relations” with far-right organizations, which the organizer of the petition does not want to gain traction at the high school level, the person wrote.)

https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/03/31/editorial-web-site-boosts-trump-link-with-supporters/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: When they’re not excoriating him, Democrats have been doing their level best to pave over the accomplishments of former President Donald Trump. To hear them tell it, Dr. Anthony Fauci spearheaded the ramped-up vaccine operation, and President Joe Biden should be credited with its rollout. Dems take particular glee in Trump’s ban from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. If they think this has dimmed his fire, they are much mistaken. Trump and wife Melania launched a website, 45office.com, offering a way for supporters to reach out to the pair. “The official website of the 45th President of the United States will allow individuals to submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for President and Mrs. Trump,” they announced. “President and Mrs. Trump are continually strengthened by the enduring spirit of the American people, and they look forward to staying in touch.” The site will no doubt rouse the ire of Dems — and disdain of late night hosts — who rarely miss a chance to sneer at the former president, while ignoring the appeal he holds for 74 million Americans. As the left wing continues to gain power on Capitol Hill and progressive legislation passes with little regard for those with opposing views, you can bet Trump’s supporters will be reaching out and speaking up. A website may not have the immediacy of a Twitter blast, but it’s still a valuable platform if one were to, say, back conservative candidates for midterm elections. Trump still has juice, and supporters. And Democrats will ignore both of these at their political peril.)

He feels educating the public on the dangers of opioid abuse could help, especially for younger Illinois residents. “Also let them know what can happen if you’re selling these drugs to someone and they die as a result of using them,” said Berlin.)
