— NewsGuard Ratings System Heavily Skews in Favor of Left-Wing Outlets – Joseph Vazquez (COMMENT: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who promote left-wing outlets like Capitol Fax and b) who demonize, denigrate, and condemn the right-wing www.gopillinois.com ?)
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/joseph-vazquez/2021/12/13/study-newsguard-ratings-system-heavily-skews-favor-left
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new analysis reveals the extraordinary left-wing bias of website ratings firm NewsGuard, which should concern every American given that it is expanding its reach into cable and broadcast TV news. Liberal outlets were rated 27 points higher on average than news organizations on the right. MRC Free Speech America analyzed the NewsGuard ratings of media outlets based on a list compiled by AllSides classified by their “bias” on a left-to-right scale. The average NewsGuard score for the “left” and “lean left” outlets — which included leftist outlets like Jacobin and The Nation — was 93/100. While the average rating for “right” and “lean right” outlets — which included Fox News, Washington Times and New York Post — was a low 66/100. That’s a 27 point disparity. According to NewsGuard’s skewed ratings, left-leaning outlets have substantially more “credibility” on average than right-leaning outlets.)

— GOP leaders seek to fend off Trump endorsement as far-right Republican eyes Illinois primary bid. – Melanie Zanona and Manu Raju
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/mary-miller-republican-primary-illinois/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s closest Hill allies are privately lobbying the former President to get involved in a Republican-on-Republican matchup in Illinois, a potentially messy scenario that has sparked internal strife in the party and prompted GOP leaders to launch a counter-campaign aimed at keeping Trump on the sidelines. At the center of it all is freshman Rep. Mary Miller, a member of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus who has been left without a seat after redistricting. Now she’s deciding whether to challenge fellow Illinois Republican Reps. Rodney Davis or Mike Bost. Hoping to boost Miller’s political prospects, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — another controversial firebrand who is close with Miller — has been talking her up to Trump and encouraging him to throw his weight behind Miller, according to multiple GOP sources. Trump endorsement would turbocharge the intraparty battle and potentially make things even stickier, something GOP leaders are eager to avoid. So House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has worked behind-the-scenes to head it off: he has urged Trump to stay out of the primary race, telling the former President that Bost and Davis — who are poised to become committee chairmen if Republicans reclaim the House after next year’s midterms — are both good members, sources said. The tug-of-war over Trump’s potential involvement in Illinois is just the latest headache for GOP leaders as they seek to keep the party united in their quest to reclaim power. While McCarthy views Trump as an essential ally in his efforts to win back the House and become speaker, the former President’s meddling in certain GOP primaries could also make life more difficult for the California Republican.)

My father’s parents and his grandparents operated a hardware store in Crete. My mother’s parents and her grandparents operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)

THE HILL
— Instead of a female expansion, America should retire our archaic draft once and for all – REP. VICKY HARTZLER (R-MO.) (COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

Among the problems with the Wyoming GOP’s rejection of Liz Cheney: She has a conservative voting record in a party that’s indifferent toward voting records. – Steve Benen (COMMENT: Those “Republicans” who have taken adverse actions against me reject one or more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).

— To Understand Inequality, Look to the 9.9 Percent – Eyal Press (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that I owe my income and my net worth to my UNFAIRLY BENEFITING from my being White, male, healthy, non-veteran, non-church member, heterosexual, married, childless, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/books/review/the-99-percent-matthew-stewart.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book, “The 9.9 Percent,” Matthew Stewart focuses on the wealthiest one-tenth of Americans, a “new aristocracy” whose aggregate wealth is four times greater than that of everyone else. A minimum of $1.2 million in assets is required to enter this exclusive club and Stewart writes that the threshold will almost certainly rise by the time his book is published. It’s a club to which white people are eight times more likely to belong than people of color. But what ultimately unites its members is less the size of their bank accounts than a mind-set, Stewart contends. At its core lies “the merit myth,” a shared belief that the affluent owe their success not to the color of their skin or the advantages they’ve inherited but to their talent and intelligence. Under the spell of this conviction, Stewart argues, the privileged engage in practices — segregating themselves in upscale neighborhoods, using their money and influence to get their children into elite colleges — that entrench inequality even as they remain blithely unaware of their role in perpetuating it.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Cook County Dems’ Super Tuesday – SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization do not have an “open process.”)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/11/17/cook-county-dems-super-tuesday-495135
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There was pizza, beer and political drama last night as hundreds of Cook County Democrats gathered in restaurants and school classrooms on Chicago’s North Side to cast their ballots for candidates they want to endorse in 2022. Some wards are still counting, but Norwood Park and 38th Ward Democrats announced at about 10:30 p.m. that they’re endorsing Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois secretary of state, Tom Dart for another term as Cook County sheriff and Kari Steele for Cook County assessor — a surprise given she’s a South Sider competing against incumbent Fritz Kaegi. Official slating is Dec. 13 and 14. Talk about democracy at work. Last night’s pre-slating process was a far cry from the old days of backroom decision-making about who would appear on campaign literature and mailings. “Now we make decisions collectively and openly and everyone who’s involved in electing Democrats gets a say in the process,” Paul Rosenfeld, the 47th Ward Committeeman, told Playbook after leaving DePaul College Prep, where candidates spoke for up to five minutes and took questions from Democrats in the ward. Democrats from the 40th Ward were also in that slating. In all of the locations on the North Side, party members took a ballot before taking their seats and listening to the candidates. Everyone gave their elevator pitch about why they deserve an endorsement, including 14 water reclamation candidates — who gave an earful about flooding and “green infrastructure.” Even Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who doesn’t have a challenger for 2022, went through the process. There was energy in the crowd and plenty of chatter about issues. “It was good to be together again talking about politics,” a Democrat from the 41st Ward said after leaving Dino’s Pizzeria, a joint owned by County Commissioner Kevin Morrison’s family and where beer and thin slice pizza was served (on the North Side no less). Democrats from the 39th and 50th wards were also at Dino’s. The open process for slating candidates has been a gradual change. It has nothing to do with new leadership in the state Democratic Party, which is also calling for more transparency. It’s come about because the patronage system, which was common as recently as 10 years ago, has ended. Ward bosses can’t hand out jobs, so they are looking for new ways to engage Democrats and keep them excited for volunteering. Being part of the decision process does that. And the beer helps.)
— Republican state Rep. Seth Lewis is running for the Illinois Senate’s 24th District seat. Lewis currently represents the 45th House District. “I love being the voice in Springfield for the communities that I currently represent,” Lewis said in a statement. “After the implementation of the new legislative maps, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to continue serving our region on a greater scale by running for the state Senate. My goal as an elected official remains to make Illinois a place where people want to live, not to leave.” – SHIA KAPOS

Previously, they had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
