CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ‘An especially important step?’ Or “a dark day for Illinois?’ Lawmakers’ repeal of parental notification of abortion law rekindles divide. Legislators in the state House voted to repeal the notification law, sending the measure to Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk. Pritzker is expected to sign the measure into law, but his office did not respond to a request for comment after the Legislature passed the repeal. – Rachel Hinton

— Repeal of abortion parental notification law sent to Pritzker, House advances ban on using moral beliefs for COVID-19 vaccine refusal
In a night of high emotions, House Democrats voted to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act and change the state’s Health Care Right of Conscience Act relating to COVID-19 — two measures opposed by Republicans, and a few Democrats. – Rachel Hinton

— Parents were fine with school vaccine mandates in the past, but COVID-19 may be a different story. COVID-19 vaccination has become politicized in a way that is unprecedented. Vaccinating school-aged children will be critical to controlling COVID-19, and lawmakers will need to proceed with caution. – James Colgrove

— In TV shows and films today, journalists are bad news – Don Aucoin (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have slandered me the most since 2000 for what I have done as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/10/21/arts/how-tv-shows-films-portray-journalists-today-is-bad-news/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To many conservatives, the mainstream media are essentially an arm of the Democratic Party. To many progressives (who see Fox News as an arm of the GOP), reporters adhere to a misguided notion of “objectivity” whose on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand approach often obscures the truth about issues. So the news business is leaking support from both sides of the vessel, as it were. There’s no way to know how much any of that factors into the findings of a new Gallup poll on media credibility, but the numbers are dispiriting for anyone who understands that journalism is vital to the functioning of democracy. Gallup found that Americans’ trust in the media to “report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to 36 percent, the second-lowest on record. Breaking down that number, only 7 percent of respondents told Gallup they have “a great deal” of faith in the reporting done by newspapers, TV, and radio. The other 29 percent said they have “a fair amount” of trust.)

GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that they treated me just like Congress want them to treat GAO employees who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and who had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

I should write a book about how the following treat Republican Precinct Committeemen: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders, d) religious leaders, and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. Since 1999, I have had the best record by far for attending MTRO meetings and events. I served as the MTRO webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. I have attended all the IRP state conventions since 2000. Between 2005 and 2019 I raised many thousands of dollars from many scores of Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. All five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates attended a picnic that I organized in my precinct in 2003. I organized Wheaton’s 2004 and 2005 9/11 ceremonies. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.)
