CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pulse of the Heartland: Centralia voters say Chicago treats southern Illinois like ‘an afterthought — ‘It’s two different worlds’ The Sun-Times visited the downstate city to see what’s on voters’ minds. Perhaps not surprisingly, COVID-19, jobs and abortion are uppermost. But like much of southern Illinois — and other downstate areas — it’s all wrapped up in a deeply ingrained feeling of being forgotten. – Tina Sfondeles (COMMENT: From what I see a) from having served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, b) from having lived in Crete 1948-1972, University Park 1972-1974, downtown Chicago 1974-1978, and Wheaton since 1978, c) from having worked for Chicago Democrats 1971-1997, and d) from having attended Chicago schools run by Democrats 1966-1968, 1971-1981, and 1992-1997, Chicago Democrats do not merely forget downstate Republicans, they despise/hate downstate Republicans, and the further downstate that Republicans live, the more that Chicago Democrats despise/hate them.)

— Racial Segregation Still Prevalent in Church Communities – Jennifer Cotto (COMMENT: Should I write a book about my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most a) for my not being a member of a church, b) for my not attending church services, and c) for my not giving money to a church? I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and/or in Illinois. I would focus on those who despise/hate Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL). I was baptized as a MSL in 1948, raised as a MSL, and confirmed as a MSL in 1962.)

TOWNHALL
— Biden Chooses New IRS Agents Over Border Security – Jenny Beth Martin (COMMENT: IRS hired me in 1971, when I was 22 years old, because IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I took the job because I was unemployed. Firestone Stores had just rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Other reasons why I took the job included I was living with and helping support my mother and brother; my father had died suddenly in 1969. I started IRS with almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority that I had gained working part-time for the Post Office while I attended college. If I knew back then how strongly so many hate IRS employees so strongly, I might not have taken the job. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who hate IRS employees the most.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— You Want an Electric Car With a 300-Mile Range? When Was the Last Time You Drove 300 Miles? – Edward Niedermeyer (COMMENT: For my spring breaks in 1969 and 1970, three of my classmates and I drove about 1,200 miles each way to/from Daytona Beach and NIU in my 1969 Dodge Charger SE stopping only for gasoline. In 1989, my wife and I flew to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, I bought a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS collector car near there, and drove it about 900 miles back to our home in Wheaton stopping only for gasoline and twice for sleep. For National Corvette Museum events, my wife and I drove about 440 miles each way to/from Bowling Green, Kentucky and Wheaton in our 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX and then in our 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX stopping only for gasoline. Other longer trips include to/from Effingham for Corvette events, Indianapolis for Corvette and Mopar events, and Springfield for Illinois Republican Party and Corvette events.)
