“CHICKEN LITTLE SYNDROME” AFFLICTS MEDIA, REPUBLICANS
THE SKY IS FALLING. Donald Trump will “destroy” Republican party, all the Old Hens predict. The politician pundits, who are universally liberal, have already installed Queen Hillary in the White House. A Trump presidency? How much worse can he make America? Americans will elect a president who will be despised by half the country from Day One. In US history, the Democrats and Republicans have nominated a lot of unelectable candidates. But, 4 or 8 years later, they’re back in power. Full Article...

JUDGEMAKING RUNS AMOK IN JUDICIAL SUBCIRCUITS
Back in 1991, when Cook County's 15 subcircuits were created, it was presumed that every Democratic Ward and Township committeeman could get a couple of lawyer pals on the bench with room for even a few minorities and Republicans. But clout has been eclipsed by gender Irish surnames. On March 15, 2016, in the primary, being slated or endorsed by the party was pure poison. The results in some areas defy explanation. Whites won in black areas and Hispanic areas. Attached is a Subcircuit Voter Chart. Full Article...

COOK COUNTY JUDICIARY IS BECOMING “NO MAN’S LAND”
It’s becoming “No man’s land” On the cook county judiciary, XY chromosomes (male) have hit “chromosomal ceiling.” At present, 47% of the 242 elected Circuit Court judges are women, and a third of the 24 Appellate justices are women. On March 15, 20 of the 29 countywide Democratic judicial nominees were women, and in 13 of 14 contests where a woman opposed a man, the man lost. Irish surnames used to be magical, since voters knew nobody. But now, in virtually every race, gender dominates. The woman wins, even if she’s Hispanic and running against an Irish-surnamed man. The ATTACHED CHART alienates 2016 primary winners. Note that the slated candidate lost 5 of 9 contests, and every Irish-surnamed woman won. XX chromosomes (female), not qualifications or clout, are now Step One on the road to the bench. Full Article...

NO "TRUMP BUMP," OR "CLINTON SURGE" IN ILLINOIS PRIMARY
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics, said Mark Twain. In political 16, the "lie" Hillary Clinton's nomination and election as president is "inevitable." The "damn lie" is that Donald Trump is attracting legions of disgruntled democrats into the Republican primaries. These statistics, as set forth in the attached VOTING CHART, prove otherwise. Bernie Sanders, that nice old socialist, beat Clinton in every Chicago white ethnic "NW Side and SW Side" ward, and in the upscale northern suburbs. Sanders even won Downstate. The 2016 Republican turnout doubled over 2008, with Trump barely half vote, and only 44% in Maine, TWP. There is massive voter resistance to vote. Full Article...
