During that time, I also earned enough to a) help support my mother and brother, b) buy a new 1972 Corvette, and c) pay for tuition and books for graduate evening business courses at Loyola.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the summer of 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ended the practice of affirmative action, or race-based admission practices in its decision in a pair of cases brought by Students for Fair Admissions. But California is not only still driving race-based admissions practices, it’s shifted the policy into overdrive, and the California university system is now the target of a lawsuit because of it. Weirder yet, the person who filed the lawsuit is himself a member of a minority group, but he’s a member of the wrong one — he’s Asian, and his credentials are amazing.)

ALTON TELEGRAPH
— County board trims 34 precincts. State-required change will save election costs. – Scott Cousins (COMMENT: I only learned of precinct consolidation in Illinois this morning. I erroneously relied on the following to advise me of such things: the DuPage County Election Division (DCED), my representative on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee, the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization. I understand that at its January 11, 2022 meeting, the DuPage County Board will vote to consolidate DuPage County’s 930 precincts into just 607, a loss of 323 precincts. That includes consolidating Milton Township’s 130 precincts into just 83, a loss of 47 precincts. I have asked DCED to email me the new map for Milton Township and the map for the new precinct that I am in. I should write a book about the 2015 Gerrymandering of my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton.)
https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Board-reduces-precincts-in-response-to-new-state-16729105.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Madison County Board has approved a new precinct map that reduces the number of precincts to 191 from the current 225. The board took the action after new state laws were signed in mid-November by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The changes were approved at a special Madison County Board meeting Thursday night. The new map was approved unanimously 21-0, with seven members absent, two participating remotely and one open seat. The changes are the last to be completed as part of the decennial census. In November the board approved a new Madison County Board district map cutting the board size by three to 26 members. “Reducing the total number of election precincts by consolidating 225 into 191 will save taxpayers 15 percent on every election held in Madison County,” said Madison County Board Member Chris Guy, R-Maryville, who chairs the Government Relations Committee. “Not only will a reduction result in cost-savings to the taxpayers, a reduction will also bring more efficiency and integrity to the election process.” The new law requires precincts to be “as near as may be practicable, 1,200 registered voters,” according to information provided by Guy. Prior to that the number was 500 registered voters per precinct. The new state law also requires precinct maps to be approved by Jan. 14, the day after candidates are allowed to begin collecting signatures to get on the 2022 ballot. The full county board took the precinct action after a special meeting by the Government Relations Committee, which approved the new precinct maps.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: National Republicans are expecting a strong off-year election, thanks to Democratic President Joe Biden’s sagging poll numbers. But Illinois remains a solid blue state, where Democrats hold the governor’s office, both U.S. Senate seats, supermajorities in the state House and Senate and a majority on the Illinois Supreme Court. At the same time, Democrats drew a favorable (to them) congressional map, one they expect guarantees victory in 14 of the state’s 17 U.S. House districts. Plus, Democrats have unlimited funds, thanks to multibillionaire Pritzker’s use of his personal fortune to fund party activities and candidates. Facing formidable opposition, what’s the GOP to do? So far, it has four official candidates for governor — lawyer and former Illinois Senate member Paul Schimpf, businessmen Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan, and state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia. It has one candidate for secretary of state, state Rep. Dan Brady of Bloomington. Other than that, no credible candidate has stepped forward to seek the nominations for state treasurer, comptroller or attorney general. . .Some Republicans may yearn for an all-powerful kingmaker with a bundle of cash to spend on a slate of candidates. But the notion that Republican voters are waiting to hear from Griffin as to whom they’ll nominate is a stretch. Slate-making has a long history in the Democratic Party, particularly in Cook County. But former GOP state party Chairman Pat Brady said “the reality is that Republicans do not have a history as a slate-making party.” “We don’t slate” candidates, said Pat Brady, who is supporting Rabine for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. That, of course, does not mean that the GOP’s four gubernatorial candidates won’t seek Griffin’s backing. Bailey already has been quoted as to why Griffin should back him, and the others can be expected to do the same — either in public or private. Griffin’s endorsement will be worth a lot to the favored Republican, perhaps more in the general election than in the primary where four candidates will divide the vote.)

They stress that leaders in Illinois who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican treat Capitol Fax as being a bona filed news organization, but that they do not treat GOPUSA ILLINOIS as being a bona fide news organization.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/585593-supreme-court-denies-appeal-by-wisconsin-conservative-think-tank
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The case arose in 2019 after Evers did not invite members of the MacIver Institute to a background briefing on budgetary matters that was attended by some two dozen members of the press who cover the governor. The MacIver Institute filed a federal lawsuit alleging the group had been denied press access due to their conservative viewpoint, in violation of the First Amendment. Evers countered that the law permits reasonable restrictions on access to official events, and that his office’s denial of press credentials to the think tank was not done because of the group’s viewpoint. In March 2020, a federal judge in Wisconsin sided with Evers, finding that the governor had “reasonably concluded that MacIver is not a bona fide news organization.”)

The act or process mainly done by the journalist is called journalism. (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Rich Miller is a journalist, but I am not. They stress that Miller claims to be non-partisan, but that I do not. They stress that leaders in Illinois who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican treat Miller as being a journalist, but that they do not treat me as being a journalist.
