— State senator’s early resignation hints at redistricting our life’s priorities for ‘more immediate results’ – JERRY DAVICH (COMMENT: In 2015, to discourage me from being a Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC), my critics/opponents succeeded in gerrymandering my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton. I had been the RPC since 1999. They took away about 100 residences west of the Illinois Prairie Path and gave me about 100 residences east of Warrenville Road. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present leaders of a) Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) conservative leaders, d) religious leaders, e) unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and f) those who I have sued.)

NIU TODAY
— New policies help bring diversity to incoming class (COMMENT: I transferred from UIC to NIU in January of 1969 when I was 20 years old. If I was a 20 year old UIC student today, I doubt that NIU would admit me. My demographics are terrible. I am White, male, conservative, Republican, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, my parents were not poor, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. When NIU accepted me, I had been a part-time Park Forest Post Office employee since November of 1966, I had no debts, I owned a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and I had a student draft deferment. I had just made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and my ACT was only 24.)
https://www.niutoday.info/2021/10/04/new-policies-help-bring-diversity-to-incoming-class/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In its first full year of utilizing test-free criteria for admissions and merit scholarships, NIU has attracted the most diverse incoming class in university history. Nearly 70% of all incoming freshmen identify as persons of color, with 38% identifying as Black, 21.5% as Hispanic, 4% as Asian and 6% as “other.” The remaining 30% identified as white. Among incoming students, 57% were the first in their family to attend college. “As a university that is committed to equity and inclusion, we are thrilled that we are becoming an institution of choice for all students,” said NIU President Dr. Lisa C. Freeman. “This demonstrates that our efforts to make NIU accessible and affordable to all students are working. A diverse campus is a healthier, more vibrant campus, so we want a student body that reflects the demographics of the region we serve – in terms of race, gender and socio-economic background.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Sen. Darren Bailey clobbers his opponents in the GOP primary race for governor, according to a Republican-focused poll obtained by Playbook. The five-question survey was conducted by Ogden & Fry Sunday and Monday among 404 respondents “selected by random sampling of likely Republican primary voters.” The margin of error for the poll is +/- 4.98 percent. Asked if the primary were held today, 33 percent of respondents said they would vote for Bailey, compared to 6 percent for entrepreneur Jesse Sullivan, 5 percent for businessman Gary Rabine, and 3 percent for former state Sen. Paul Schimpf. Nearly 50 percent, however, are undecided. The poll also backs up familiar conservative GOP themes. Respondents support masks being optional in schools (88 percent) to combat Covid-19 compared to 12 percent who back mandates. And the poll shows Republican respondents still view former President Donald Trump favorably, 86.6 percent to 13.1 percent. The poll followed the well-funded but little known Sullivan already coming out with TV ads for the June 2022 primary to determine who will take on Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. – Shia Kapos

https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/10/04/conservative-activist-calls-out-facebook-for-suppressing-content/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For more than a decade, Texas native Don Kirchoff has used Facebook to share news and information with fellow conservatives. The longtime Heritage Foundation supporter and Heritage Action Sentinel frequently posts articles from The Daily Signal as well as content from other conservative organizations and media outlets. But is anyone seeing them? Many of Kirchoff’s Facebook posts have zero likes or comments, prompting him to take his case directly to Facebook. While that worked in the past, he has noticed the problem more often. Kirchoff captured screenshots and shared them with The Daily Signal, which is Heritage’s multimedia news organization, as well as Facebook. He joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the situation and raise awareness for other conservatives.)
