— Paid leave talks collapse as Chicago businesses draw a line in the sand. Businesses don’t want to pay workers for unused leave when they leave their jobs, 22nd Ward Ald. Michael Rodriguez said. – Fran Spielman (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always been furious a) that I got all my unused sick leave reinstated that I had earned working part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969 when I went to work for IRS in 1971 and b) that my nearly year of unused sick leave was treated as though I had worked that time to compute my Civil Service Retirement System pension when I was forced to take early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I took far less sick leave than my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates.)

— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: $20,000 grant from CHA puts homeownership within residents’ reach. A single mother who earlier this month closed on an East Garfield Park single-family home became the CHA’s new down payment program’s first recipient. – Elvia Malagón (COMMENT: Where did the downpayment(s)come from for the real estate that you bought? When I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972, it came from what I had earned working for IRS and for Firestone Stores. When I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, it came from want I earned working for IRS. When I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, it came from the proceeds from selling my studio condo. When my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978, it came from her savings. When my wife and I had 915 Cove Court in Wheaton built in 1984, it came from the proceeds of selling 1017 East Harrison. When we bought a small unit at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville in late 2020, we paid for it with our savings. When we bought a much larger unit at Iron Gate early this year, we paid for it with proceeds of selling our smaller unit and with money that I inherited in 2022.)

https://wirepoints.org/newsguard-part-of-the-government-media-censorship-complex-promoted-by-chicago-tribune-to-combat-misinformation-wirepoints/
(FRM THE ARTICLE: A report by Media Research Center found showed that NewsGuard has for years rated left-leaning, establishment news sites consistently higher than conservative news sites. I can personally attest to that bias. I subscribed to NewsGuard over recent months to see for myself. Its bias is brazen in its 0 to 100 rankings for credibility, with 100 being best. These rankings may have changed a bit since I unsubscribed, but I, too, saw that left-leaning and establishment sights got far higher rankings than comparable conservative ones. The left’s Axios, for example, which actually tells you what progressive viewpoint you are supposed to think is important in every article, got a perfect 100. Fox got 69.5 but CNN got 80. Radically left Mother Jones got 87.5 but the conservative Federalist got a horrible 12.5. Our local Cook County Record, which is excellent though leans a bit conservative, got a paltry 32. The ridiculously biased and widely ridiculed Politifact got a perfect 100. The list goes on and on.)

— City fumbles on migrant issue again with bid to put tent camp in Brighton Park. Of all places, the city picks a site that once contained a zinc smelting operation — a process that can potentially leach toxins into the soil. It’s another example of blunders on handling Chicago’s migrant crisis. – Editorial (COMMENT: Will the Democrats who run Chicago Heights put an migrant tent camp on the Stauffler Chemical Plant Superfund Site at 111th & Arnold Street on the east side of Chicago Heights? SEE: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/CurSites/calinfo.cfm?id=0500156 My father worked in the office of that plant from 1941 until he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Highland councilman is expected to be stripped of his precinct committee position after publicly endorsing the town’s Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate in the upcoming general election. Lake County Republican Chairman and Congressional candidate Randy Niemeyer confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be removing Highland Councilman Mark Schocke, R-3, from the precinct committee after Schocke appeared in a campaign mailer endorsing current Highland Clerk-Treasurer Mark Herak. Herak is running against Republican Kathy Camp-Burke. Because Schocke was appointed to the precinct, he can be removed at the County Chair’s discretion and not go through a hearing process as an elected committeeman would, Niemeyer said. He said he hadn’t executed the order as of Wednesday afternoon, but only because he hadn’t had the chance. Niemeyer said his decision to remove Schocke isn’t personal; it’s just that he has a party to protect.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20231021/it-may-be-that-the-only-solution-to-house-chaos-is-true-cooperation-between-parties
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight Republicans forced the current crisis in the House when they engineered the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 5. But Democrats, remember, are not blameless. Any reasonably informed observer could have foreseen that when a small cabal of extremists managed to depose their party’s leader with no plan for a successor and no likely option waiting in the wings, trouble lurked for the entire body. The GOP chaos may have provided a few temporary partisan chuckles for Democrats, not one of whom lifted a finger to try to rescue McCarthy, but the situation facing the country now is not at all funny.)

— A Migrant Windfall: Nine Grand Each for Housing in Chicago. Biden demands loans and credit cards for illegals – so much for sustainable. – Joe Schaeffer
https://www.libertynation.com/a-migrant-windfall-nine-grand-each-for-housing-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Americans struggle mightily to cope with the buckling effects of inflation on food, gasoline, and other necessities, the benefits for illegal migrant newcomers keep piling up. The state of Illinois is funding temporary housing for migrants, providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over six months. How many Americans could use a $9,000 housing stipend right about now? “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” Cristina Pacione-Zayas, chief of staff to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, told the Chicago’s Fox 32 TV station October 13. As is so often the case, Democrat notions of the “ideal” results of their feckless policies are failing to materialize. In New York City, where illegal migrants have become a crushing burden on the blue-run government, the new arrivals are simply not working. . .Chicago Democrats are starting to realize that their empty platitudes about welcoming the world to America are unaffordable, something any responsible adult should have realized from the beginning.)

— A student with a 1590 SAT score was rejected by 16 colleges. Here’s why. – Jon Miltimore
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/student-with-1590-sat-score-rejected-by-16-colleges
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Zhong’s story has begun to gather some media attention, which was the subject of discussion at a recent House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing. Yet almost all of the stories failed to mention the likely reason Zhong was rejected: He’s Asian. For years, colleges have been quietly discriminating against Asians in the admission process, admitting white, black, and Latino students with lower SAT scores and lower GPAs in the name of inclusivity. The problem for Asians is that, as a group, they tend to score really well. This means there’s an abundance of highly qualified Asians applying to universities each year. This would not be a problem for Asian students if not for race-conscious universities, which, in recent years, have demonstrated a preference for social equity and racial balance over merit. As a result, untold numbers of Asians have found themselves excluded from universities simply because of their race.)

— IN WHAT SENSE ARE ILLEGALS ILLEGAL? – JOHN HINDERAKER (COMMENT: Of course, illegals do/will use their false identifications to vote for Democrats. Soon, if not already, Democrats and RINOs will have brought in enough illegals that no Republican will ever be elected again.)
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/10/in-what-sense-are-illegals-illegal.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So there isn’t much left of the illegality that comes with sneaking across the southern border. The Biden administration, with help from blue states, has effectively rewritten–or, more accurately, repealed–the nation’s immigration laws. They had no legal power to do this. Congress never voted to abolish our immigration laws, nor would it. The acceptance of illegal immigration is opposed by an overwhelming majority of Americans, but we never had a chance to vote on it. This is perhaps the clearest indication of the fact that the cabal that controls America has zero regard for democracy, for democratic processes, or for the views of most Americans.)

TOWNHALL
— Seven New States – Jim Ross Lightfoot (COMMENT: How many illegals are in America, in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? How soon, if not already, will they have enough voting power to get rid of Republicans once and for all?)
https://townhall.com/columnists/jimrosslightfoot/2023/10/17/seven-new-states-n2629934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the United States Census Bureau, the most significant number floating around is 6,777,807. That represents the number of illegals who have entered our country since 2020. They came from around the world and flowed across our Texas – Mexico border. With them came pounds and pounds of drugs, millions of fentanyl pills, and we do not know how many Cartel members, murderers, child sex offenders, and others with criminal intent on their minds. As well, our Canadian border has been hemorrhaging. We do not see much about it on the news for some reason. 6,770,807. It is a huge number that is difficult for most of us to comprehend. Let us strive to put the 6.7 million amount into comparative numbers with something easy to understand. First, do a little research and find out the population of some of our smallest states. Those with populations under 1 million people are Wyoming, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Wyoming has the smallest population of 576,837, and Delaware is the largest among those with under 1 million people, with 989,957.)

My outstanding parents provided me with room and board while I was a UIC student 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.

Democrat leaders ever-increasingly bring illegals into America because Illegals vote for Democrats. However, everything is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to illegals, that is, to the citizens of foreign countries who they brought in. Consequently, Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly discriminate against citizens of America. Overwhelmingly, those citizens of America are Democrats who are poor, minority, female, and/or younger.

I earned a bachelor’s degree, three masters degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.

https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2023/09/30/trump-republicans-must-take-the-reins-of-the-illinois-gop/
(IBENDAHL UPDATE: A big thank you to everyone who already emailed me saying they wanted to be added to the list of Republicans who want a direct vote & a voice again in their Illinois Republican Party. It’s heartwarming to see so many standing up for their fellow Republicans. You folks truly get it. . .We’re still collecting names, so just let me know if you would like to be added to the growing list of supporters. We’re going to publish the list of supporters soon. We’re also going to publish the list of opponents–which I’m delighted to say is a very short list right now. Actually that’s not surprising. Anyone who actually cares about our Republican Party, as opposed to just their own selfish interest, does not have a problem with the idea of Republicans voting in their own party–just like we used to when Illinois was still a Red State. And yet there is a tiny handful, but those few names won’t surprise you. Thank you again, and just let me know if you have any questions. Also, your help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We invite any and all Republicans in Illinois to stand up and proudly lend her or his name to a long past-due reform. When some selfish old GOP bosses took our vote away years ago, THAT was the radical & inexplicable change. All we’re talking about now is restoring some common sense & professionalism to the Illinois Republican Party. It’s a major first step towards becoming something other than a perpetually losing party in Illinois.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FRONT PAGE: Steve Scalise Quits House Speaker Race. GOP nominee for top job ran into stubborn opposition from bloc of fellow Republicans – Siobhan Hughes, Kristina Peterson, Katy Stech Ferek, and David Harrison (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who oppose me and why they oppose me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who reject lots of planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.)
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/steve-scalise-struggles-to-build-support-for-house-speaker-post-99be48e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of Scalise opponents was thought to stretch to as many as 20 members, beyond the dozen or so who had publicly rejected him. Those holdouts include Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Max Miller of Ohio. Disgraced New York Congressman George Santos, who faces federal fraud charges, also said he would oppose Scalise, saying the lawmaker had ignored him. Santos has denied wrongdoing. Many of the holdouts said they viewed electing Scalise as simply extending the status quo, while others have specific objections tied to strategy around spending bills or the process used to conduct the speaker election. Former President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Jordan in the GOP contest, said he would back whomever the party unites behind, while also pointing to health worries about Scalise. “I’m going to be with anybody they pick,” he said on Fox News Radio. “The one thing with Steve, he’s got to get well…he’s got to get strong.”)

My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors forced my many Jewish Democrat superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, d) keeping me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, and e) forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, those adverse actions included a) never promoting me beyond GS-12, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My Democrat superiors stressed a) that I am a conservative Republican, b) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, c) that I am 100% German national origin, d) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and e) that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978.)

My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that because I had only worked for GAO for 13 years. I had worked for IRS for 9 years and for the Post Office for 3 years. They were especially furious that I got full-time seniority credit while I worked for the Post Office even though I worked only part-time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: HARTFORD, Conn. — A woman approaches a drop box in the dark with what appears to be handfuls of ballots. At a different drop box, someone else is seen making multiple trips to insert ballots. At yet another, the same car stops on at least three separate occasions, with different people stepping out and heading to the box. It’s not a trailer for the latest conspiracy movie about rigged elections. Instead, the video footage has become central to a real-world controversy over potential fraud involving ballot drop boxes, a favorite target of right-wing conspiracy theorists since former President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. The accusations of drop box fraud are not coming from those pushing fringe election claims or from skeptical Republicans who have long favored eliminating or severely restricting use of the boxes. They are being made by Democrats — two candidates vying for mayor in Connecticut’s largest city, in a heavily Democratic state that began allowing drop boxes to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic.)

PRAIRIE STATE WIRE
— Pritzker: Access to animated pornography allows Illinois children to see ‘different perspectives’ (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats, to send your child to a public school is make your child a sexually active LGBTQer.)
https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/650068138-pritzker-access-to-animated-pornography-allows-illinois-children-to-see-different-perspectives
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. J.B. Pritzker is celebrating disallowing local control over what books are located in public schools and libraries. “Illinois became the first state in the nation to ban book bans earlier this year,” Pritzker said on X. “2022 had the most attempted book bans on record for the ALA. It was time for us to act.” “Unlike Republicans, I want our children to read as much as they can and to read different perspectives.” Earlier this year Pritzker took aim at concerned Illinois parents who are seeking to have animated pornography restricted or removed from publicly funded libraries. The law promised to remove public funding if bans such as that enacted in mid-2022 by the Harlem School District 122 Board of Education, based in Machesney Park. District 122 made the decision to remove the book “Gender Queer” and several other animated titles that feature illustrations of characters in vivid sex acts from its libraries after parental upheaval. “It’s porn,” Lynette Hofman said, according to WIFR, Rockford Sun reported. “We’re talking incest, molestation and pedophilia.” It is unclear if the state has moved to rescind funds from District 122 libraries in the wake of the legislation being signed by Pritzker. Pritzker, however, called the movement to restrict animated porn in schools as “white nationalism.” “Book bans are about censorship, marginalizing people, marginalizing ideas and facts. Regimes ban books, not democracies,” Pritzker said in a video of a speech posted on X. “Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, the Taliban’s Afghanistan. We refuse to let a vitriolic strain of white nationalism coursing through our country determine whose histories are told. Not in Illinois. While Pritzker invoked the threat of censorship, he himself has been active in censorship efforts. In Illinois, during the 2022 campaign, Pritzker was able to effectively muzzle opponents by threatening media outlets. LGIS’s own publication run, including print editions of the Lake County Gazette, was briefly halted after the Pritzker campaign threatened the Daily Herald, which is the owner of the press that was printing the newspapers. Pritzker also intimidated NBC and WGN into pulling a Beverly Miles campaign advertisement who accused Pritzker of terminating her for political reasons. Miles, who challenged Pritzker in the 2022 primary, was one of nine black women who ran for governor in 2022. The move to prevent books from being removed from local libraries comes after nearly two years of protests by parents over animated pornography, such as “Gender Queer”, increasingly found in school and public libraries. Terry Newsome, a parent from Downers Grove South High School in Illinois, who has been vocal about his objections to explicit materials in the school’s library, has requested a congressional investigation into the “weaponization” of the FBI against parents and school board activists. Newsome, who has since been elected as a Republican precinct committeeman, has faced attacks on social media and in his professional life, continues to advocate for the removal of pornographic materials from the libraries of schools in Downers Grove. He has been portrayed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a far-right extremist, which he disputes, stating that his concerns are focused on removing obscene books from public institutions, according to DuPage Policy Journal. SPLC has faced criticism for its mislabeling opposition groups with hate group designations.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Venezuelan illegals protest those work permits from Joe Biden, demand bigger benefit packages instead. – Monica Showalter (COMMENT: Work permits today. Voting rights tomorrow. What jobs will Democrats and RINOs offer illegals? How bad will those jobs be? Will illegals take those jobs? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971. I pumped gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/venezuelan_illegals_protest_those_work_permits_from_joe_biden_demand_bigger_benefit_packages_instead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You have a very small number of valid asylum seekers and refugees. You have illegal immigrants, who also are strivers, and other than breaking U.S. immigration law, could be desirable contributors, too. You have criminals, who can’t get into the U.S. any way except illegally and who ply their trade once in. And then you have illegals like these, who break in to demand free stuff. It’s astonishing. Many people here illegally would jump at the chance for a legal work permit, which Joe Biden extended by fiat to 500,000 Venezuelans, through a controversial and blanket temporarily protected status. These guys don’t want them. They view an invitation to work as an insult. They want bigger food stamp packages, better state-provided housing and more benefits. They are not the first Venezuelans of this type that we have seen in Joe Biden’s migrant surge, either. In January, hundreds of Venezuelan illegals organized protests about the kind of housing they were getting in New York City, calling for free public housing for themselves. I wrote about that here. At the time, the New York Post noted that the migrants making the demands sounded as though they had been coached by their NGOs servicing them. Maybe so. But more likely, this is what they learned in their home country, which for years was led by the socialist dictator Hugo Chavez. Chavez taught them from birth that the world owed them a living and they were entitled to a life of ease at the expense of “the rich,” meaning, anyone with a regular paycheck. These illegals protesting now are Chavista-trained Venezuelans, infected with the Chavista bug of state dependency. That’s not only what Hugo taught, it’s what they want. Chavistas in America, calling for gringo to pay their way. It should be noted that with all that free time on their hands and no education or skills to speak of, they frequently overlap with the criminal class, and they always assimilate into the U.S. underclass. Now they have the temerity to protest on the streets of the country they illegally broke into and publicly call for American taxpayers to pay for their lifestyle. Other than criminals, these illegals should be the first illegals to be rounded up and bound for deportation. But Joe Biden issues them work permits, a privilege other illegals don’t get, and they view it as an outrage. Now they’re actually protesting. Something’s wrong here and Joe Biden has some explaining to do.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Illinois presidential primary process starts Saturday with petitions for candidates and delegates.” What information has the Illinois Republican Party provided your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain concerning this? Who heads each of the presidential campaigns in Illinois, in your congressional district, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? What is their contact information?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-presidential-candidate-petitions-20231006-2fxatik25ng6ropmvtapu5arfa-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Illinois in recent general presidential elections has been flyover country due to its solid status as a blue state, the preparations necessary ahead of the March 19 primary still provide an organizational test for campaigns. The nitty-gritty details of the presidential primary process start Saturday, when candidates’ campaigns can begin seeking signatures from voters to place both the presidential hopefuls and candidates for national nominating delegates on the ballot. With President Joe Biden facing no serious opposition to renomination on the Democratic side, the focus will be on the Republican primary. Former President Donald Trump has become the early front-runner for the nomination against a host of challengers. Given its place on the primary calendar, it’s possible Illinois will not even be relevant in the Republican presidential nominating process by the time the primary rolls around. Super Tuesday is March 5, two weeks before Illinois’ primary. Fifteen GOP primaries and caucuses will be held that day, including contests in delegate-heavy California and Texas. If Super Tuesday fails to decide the matter, Illinois’ primary day is shared with the key presidential election states of Ohio and Florida, whose governor, Ron DeSantis, is among those trying to upset Trump. The Republican primary process in Illinois is fairly simple. Voters get to select their preferred candidate for the nomination. Separately, they select three nominating delegates, who are either pledged to a candidate or listed as uncommitted, from each of the state’s 17 congressional districts. Voters also will select the same number of alternate delegates, who serve if a nominated delegate cannot participate in the GOP national convention in Milwaukee in July. If more than three delegate candidates pledged to a single presidential contender file to appear on the ballot, the presidential campaign will decide the delegate slate. In addition to the 51 elected delegates, another 10 at-large delegates will be named at the state Republican Party convention in May. In addition, state GOP Chair Don Tracy and the state’s GOP national committeeman and committeewoman are automatically delegates. Unlike the elected GOP delegates, the 13 party officials and at-large delegates are pledged to support the winner of the presidential preference voting, known in election-speak as a “beauty contest.” Presidential candidates must submit petitions signed by at least 3,000 and no more than 5,000 voters. The signature requirement for GOP delegate candidates varies for each congressional district based on previous Republican turnout. The number of necessary signatures ranges from as few as 136 in the sprawling, heavily Democratic Chicago and suburban district of Democratic U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, to more than 1,000 signatures from voters in the heavily Republican downstate congressional districts of U.S. Reps. Mike Bost of Murphysboro and Mary Miller of Oakland. The presidential campaigns, both Republican and Democratic, file their primary nominating petitions with the State Board of Elections on Jan. 4 and 5.)

— The Culture War Is Coming for Your Car. As the green left’s hostility to the automobile grows, voters notice their own values are at stake. – Joseph C. Sternberg (COMMENT: The cars that you own/owned say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have demonstrated the most hatred against cars. I would focus on those who especially hate American nameplate cars, muscle cars, and Corvettes.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-culture-war-is-coming-for-your-car-climate-electric-vehicle-britain-5a4cc7aa
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forget race. Forget sex. Forget immigration. The mother of all culture wars is breaking out, and its subject is the car. The automobile has long been a policy flashpoint, with the paramount issue being where it should be able to roam. This was the heart of the brutal urban-planning battles of the mid-20th century, which were fought over the need for and placement of new highways. Yet it’s hard to describe those earlier policy fights as a culture war. Liberal urban activists such as Jane Jacobs—who famously fought off Robert Moses’ plan to build a highway interchange over Washington Square Park in New York City—didn’t hate cars or the people who drove them. In her magisterial “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” Jacobs repeatedly observed that resorting to the personal car was an entirely rational response to the failures of government urban planners to encourage smarter development. Such humane common sense seems quaint in the context of today’s car wars. For a growing portion of the left, the automobile has become a moral ill in its own right rather than the symptomatic inconvenience of Jacobs’s telling. Partly this has to do with pollution, which was barely emerging as an issue when Jacobs was at her peak in the early 1960s but has also improved dramatically since. Much more so it has to do with carbon emissions—which are distinct from the smoggy pollution of the 20th century, despite constant efforts to conflate the two. When I say “carbon emissions,” note that I mean it in a general sense. The problem with the personal car isn’t its direct climate impact. Road transport, including trucking, accounts for 12% of global carbon emissions. Electric vehicles aren’t an obvious means of reducing overall emissions, especially once you factor in their dirty supply chains and the coal-fired power that often charges them. Rather, the car is a focus for the war on carbon because it’s so visible. An electric vehicle is the most conspicuous, although perhaps not the most effective, thing a household can do in service of reducing global emissions. The corollary, however, is that if a household insists on buying and driving a gasoline or diesel car, it signifies that some concern other than climate is more important—cost and convenience often at the top of the list. The car is becoming a cultural flashpoint because it is where climate-apocalypse proselytizing meets antielitist pragmatism. Both sides increasingly understand their fundamental values are at stake. The left has received several warnings already about the resulting culture-war dangers. In France, Emmanuel Macron’s administration was derailed in 2018 by yellow-vest protests in rural areas occasioned by a tax increase on diesel fuel. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s rickety coalition government was shaken in 2022 by a fierce debate over speed limits on the autobahn proposed partially for climate reasons. The U.K.’s Labour Party this summer narrowly lost a parliamentary by-election it was expected to win, when voters lodged a protest against a Labour-imposed tax on older cars in greater London. An oddity is that up to now the right hasn’t treated the car as a culture issue, more often debating electric vehicles in economic or scientific terms. That may be starting to change, with Britain’s Conservative Party leading the way. The Tories under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak are widely expected to lose an election next year. Desperate for a wedge issue to wield against Labour, Mr. Sunak has embraced the internal-combustion engine. He recently scaled back the government’s previous mandate that all new cars sold after 2030 be electric. Notably, he cast this policy decision as a values judgment—that it wouldn’t be right to force British households to pay for London’s climate pieties. At this week’s annual party convention, Mr. Sunak canceled a high-profile high-speed rail line that was to have connected London to Birmingham and Manchester. Backers often hyped the line’s low-carbon potential, despite doubts about the project’s overall carbon efficiency. No matter, Mr. Sunak now suggests the government’s priority should be fixing potholes for the many people who must drive in the course of their daily lives. Them’s culture-war fightin’ words. The green left hates investment in road building because it hates the car. Mr. Sunak is attempting to put himself on the side of households and businesses that value the freedom of cheap mobility more—and for whom cheap mobility is a matter of economic survival. The car wars may be the last chance the Tories have to turn around their electoral fortunes. And as that London by-election showed, it might avert an electoral wipe-out if not deliver a victory. One suspects other politicians on the right will be observing the results closely.)
