SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Final gubernatorial debate: What do Pritzker, Bailey need to say to gain support? – Patrick Keck (COMMENT: Bailey should say that if elected, he will defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender-based preference giving) planks. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “In Illinois, 33% of our voting population are low-income – a third (of all potential voters) – and they’ve been pretty much ignored. 38% of the population in Illinois is at or below the poverty level, and so the campaign is really focused on that number of people, who cannot be individual failures.”

CENTER FOR ILLINOIS POLITICS
— Trump Factor and Abortion Signal Higher-than-Normal Midterm Turnout – Derrick Blakley (COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, if you do not hate Trump, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will promote hatred against you. I do not hate Trump. I share the following demographics with Trump: conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.centerforilpolitics.org/articles/trump-factor-and-abortion-signal-higher-than-normal-midterm-turnout
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With Trump, nobody’s undecided on Trump. And he’s doing everything he can to tie as many candidates as possible to himself. Because that’s just the way he operates,” said Mooney. “One thing analysts and political scientists will be looking at is what’s the turnout in the Congressional districts downstate,” said Matt Dietrich, spokesman for the Illinois State Board of Elections. “Trump endorsed GOP congressional candidate Mary Miller. He endorsed Rep. Mike Bost in far Southern Illinois. Is that going to drive a higher turnout in those Congressional districts? And in the governor’s race, where he endorsed State Sen. Darren Bailey, will that motivate more Republicans to be out?” Even though Trump is not on the Illinois ballot, his influence is still widely reflected in the candidates and the themes they’re running both for and against. For most of the race, Bailey has run as a Trump acolyte, while Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker has run as a staunch Trump opponent.)

BOSTON HERALD
— DeSantis to continue migrant flights to Democratic states – AP (COMMENT: Illinois is a Democrat state. How Democrat is your county, is your township, and is your municipality? Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats will a) glorify and praise illegals and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who do not glorify and praise illegals.)

IDAHO PRESS
— Biden administration’s lax border policies have opened the floodgates inundating Idaho. – MIKE CRAPO and JIM RISCH (COMMENT: Expect that soon, Democrats will legalize fentanyl.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Biden administration’s lax border policies have led to this dangerous and lethal influx of fentanyl and drug trafficking which has hit communities across Idaho and our country. Fentanyl has been a primary driver in the increase in drug crimes in Idaho, as the amount of fentanyl seized at the U.S. southern border rises steadily. In eastern Idaho alone, the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office and Idaho Falls Police Department report fentanyl is the leading means of drug-related deaths and overdoses, yet the Biden administration denied a request to add Bonneville County to the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area designation. The designation would provide additional training and resources to help Idaho communities deal with this crisis.)

NAVADA INDEPENDENT
— COMMENT: Democrats say “GOP paranoia over election integrity isn’t a great get-out-the-vote campaign.” What has your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain done so far to get-out-the-vote in your precinct? I have delivered to all homes in my precinct that have at least one registered Republican voter a) a marked copy of our sample ballot, b) campaign literature from all the Republican candidates (16 of 20) who have provided campaign literature, c) a Milton Township Republican Organization Voters Guide, and d) literature that opposes Amendment 1 and the Safe-T Act. I am displaying my 4X4 Vote Republican sign on the second floor of the Jeanne Ives building in my precinct.

— WHAT ARE THE FOUR TYPES OF TERMINATION? – JANE HARPER (COMMENT: To force an employee to take early retirement is to terminate that employee. All my GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old were Democrats. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female. If I had been a Democrat, I would not have had a basis to complain about political affiliation discrimination. If I had been a minority and/or a female, I would not have had a basis to complain about reverse discrimination.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hate unions. According to them, I was a grossly overpaid union member 1966-1969 and 1971-1980 and because of that, I was unfairly able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) pay for tuition, books, and room and board to graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, d) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, g) buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, h) pay for tuition and books to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, i) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, j) buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevrolet Chevette in 1978, k) pay for tuition and books to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, l) to etc.)
