— FROM THE ARTICLE: Voter turnout overall, however, is expected to drop. And
conventional wisdom says that generally favors party-backed candidates and
those with strong field organizations, potentially giving Rep. Dan Lipinski and
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx more of a leg-up. There’s a lot going on
and your crystal ball and tea leaves are shrugging. But we can tell you five
contests worth watching: . .Oberweis v. Rezin: Those are the two names to watch
in this heated Republican primary that will decide who competes against
freshman Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood in November. Jim Oberweis and Sue
Rezin have been feuding in recent days, ever since Rezin has filed a federal
election complaint accusing Oberweis of employing a scheme to circumvent
campaign finance rules. Along with the unpredictability of the coronavirus,
this race has five other candidates in the hunt. So anything can happen. – Shia

— FROM THE ARTICLE: EARLY VOTING NUMBERS in Chicago and Cook County were up
going into today’s election. Chicago saw early voting rise 22.5 percent from
2016, according to the Chicago Board of Elections, and most of the increase
came Monday. Early voting this year totaled 171,709, compared with 140,148. On
Monday alone, 25,781 voters cast ballots, compared to 9,821 on the day prior to
Election Day 2016. In the surrounding suburbs, early voting rose 46 percent,
from 114,021 in 2016 to 166,613 this year, according to the Cook County Clerk’s
Office. The reason: Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and other elected
officials pounded the drum for voters to get to the polls early to help
decrease the potential for crowds during the coronavirus outbreak. – Shia Kapos

DAILY CALLER
— Tucker Carlson: Shutting Down Economy Poses ‘Its Own Kind Of Public Health
Risk’ – SCOTT MOREFIELD (DIERSEN: To defeat Trump, Democrats, Libertarians,
Greens, and RINOs do everything that they can to destroy America’s economy.)
https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/16/tucker-carlson-shutting-down-economy-health-risk/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox
News host Tucker Carlson struck a balanced approach between epidemiologists who
would argue for shutting everything down to fight the coronavirus pandemic and
those concerned that an economic recession and even depression could pose “its
own kind of public health risk.” Acknowledging the “major threat to the
country” that coronavirus poses, Carlson pointed out the fact that there is “no
clear consensus on how the country should respond.” “That should not surprise
you,” said the Fox News host on Monday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson
Tonight.” “People of good faith are working toward a couple of different goals
tonight which at times collide with one another.” While the “first obligation”
is always public safety and should be accomplished if possible, Carlson pointed
out that protecting the economy should also be considered. “At the same time
though, we need to protect our economy, and it’s not just something that Wall
Street cares about, to be totally clear,” he said. “Economic decline is
dangerous for everyone, especially at the bottom of the economy. It’s a
legitimate human concern. It’s not just financial, it’s about families.” The
“two imperatives” can “often conflict,” the Fox News host contended. “So if you
ask an epidemiologist what we ought to do next, the answer is simple: shut it
down, close every public space until the virus passes.” “From a public health
standpoint, that makes sense, but what would be the consequences of doing
that?” he asked. “Millions and millions of people would lose their jobs, some
of them for good. We would enter a severe recession with mass unemployment and
it could get worse from there. It’s not a joke, that could happen. You would
see an awful lot of people in poverty in middle America and that poses its own
kind of public health risk. Poor countries are never healthy countries. If you
want great health care, you’ve got to pay for it and you have to have money to
do so.” Any proper response “requires balance” and is a “complex question” with
“no obvious answers.” Later in the monologue, Carlson warned against printing
cheap money and eventually entering a situation where the U.S. “becomes
Zimbabwe.” “It’s missing the point anyway,” he said. “The real imperative
is saving jobs. For government bureaucrats and administrators and corporate
H.R. directors, a month out of the office constitutes a vacation, but for the
classes below, it could be the beginning of a long spiral, a real one. Of
waiters, bartenders, retail workers, huge parts of the service industry on
which we are dependent could see their income dropped to zero and not come
back.” Carlson called the “guaranteed basic income” proposed by Utah Sen. Mitt
Romney a “well-meaning” idea but in actuality “decadent and foolish.” “Name a
place that’s become happier and more prosperous under a scheme like that,” he
said before lauding the German system that allows employers to place their
workers on “reduced hours” with the government making up the difference.)

— Cash Handouts Are Gaining Support in Congress as Best Virus Fix – Ben
Holland and Laura Davison (DIERSEN: How has the coronavirus pandemic impacted
you? So far, the coronavirus pandemic has impacted my wife and I less a)
because I have a Civil Service Retirement System pension, b) because my wife
has Social Security, c) because we have health, dental, and vision insurance
subsidized by the federal government, d) because we have no debts, e) because
we have no children or pets to support, f) because we have retirement savings,
g) because stock market losses do not drag down the value of our retirement
savings that much, and h) we have no interest in traveling, watching sports, or
drinking booze. I eat virtually all my meals in front a desktop computer monitor
while I am putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together.)

bankrupt every individual, bankrupt every organization, bankrupt every company,
bankrupt every government, and bankrupt every country in the world. How soon,
if not already, will efforts to stop coronavirus be used to justify getting rid

countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic,
Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German
American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a
