— Illinois Democrats didn’t just revise the first draft of their congressional map, they offered up a brand new one that pits Democratic Reps. Sean Casten and Marie Newman against each other while also creating a second Latino district. . .Casten is the biggest loser in this map: It cuts up his current district into numerous pieces, leaving him with 25 percent of his constituency in the new 6th District. Newman, who would compete against him in the newly created district, has 39 percent of her current 3rd District. – Shia Kapos

FOX BUSINESS
— Millions of workers stay home to watch young children as day cares struggle (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always used the fact that my father earned enough money that my mother could stay home and raise my brother and me to paint my outstanding parents as being filthy rich. My father almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother was raised on a farm and never attended high school.)

— What Good is a Republican Victory? A congressional takeover devoted to legacy GOP policies won’t fix anything that needs fixing. Patriotic Americans and Trump supporters need to keep the Republican Party at arm’s length. – Christopher Roach (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republican candidates reject, the more discouraged that conservatives are to help elect those candidates. But wait, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, more and more and more Republican candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that they are “moderate,” that is, that they reject many planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican.)

— Journalists Fret as Hong Kong Civil Society Buckles – Austin Ramzy (COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, conservative-hating RINOs, their operatives, and their dupes can crow about their a) success in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks and b) harming the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. So far, conservative-hating RINOs have not been able to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/world/asia/hong-kong-civil-society.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unions have folded. Political parties have shut down. Independent media outlets and civil rights groups have disappeared. The Hong Kong government, its authority backed fully by Beijing, is shutting down the city’s civil society, once the most vibrant in Asia, one organization at a time. But one group, the Hong Kong Journalists Association, has refused to fold, even as Hong Kong’s security secretary repeatedly singles it out for public criticism. “We will try to fight to the last moment,” said Ronson Chan, the association’s chairman. “But honestly, it’s a gamble. How cruelly will the Beijing government treat us? We know the history of journalists in the People’s Republic of China.” The authorities have used a national security law, which was introduced last year after months of widespread antigovernment protest, to silence dissent. Dozens of groups have been forced to disband.)
