"HUMPTY DUMPTY" TRUMP WILL NOT BE 2024 NOMINEE
Be careful what you wish for. Democrats are hell-bent on destroying the viability and legacy of Donald Trump while still expecting him to be the flawed Republican candidate for president in 2024. Those expectations are mutually exclusive. Democrats DON’T want to run against Ron DeSantis. But they will. The Jan. 6 Commission has revealed the ex-president to be neurotic, narcissistic and delusional. But President Joe Biden’s performance over the past 17 months has revealed him to be incompetent, feeble and delusionary. What inflation? What open border? What crime spike? There’s no imminent recession. A recent poll showed him losing 42-39 to Trump. Unbelievable. To be sure, the 2020 Biden-Trump vote was 81,268,925-74,216,154, a 51.3-45.9 percent victory and a clear repudiation of Trump. Full Article...

"TRASH TALK" ABOUNDS IN MARTWICK VS. JONES STATE SENATE PRIMARY
Former President Donald Trump is out of office but not out of mind. And it feels like Democrats need to keep him around since he is especially useful as an anchor. This year, incumbent Rob Martwick is trying to hang Trump around the neck of challenger Erin Jones in the June 28 Democratic primary for the Illinois 10th Senate District seat so she sinks to the bottoms. She’s a “Trump Republican” his mailers state. Jones, a CPD detective with 18 years on the job, minces no words. She calls Martwick, who got himself appointed senator in June of 2019 with former alderman John Arena’s help, a “phony,” an “elitist,” an “opportunist” and a “misogynist.” And those were the tame adjectives this column could print. Jones, age 46, is incensed by Martwick’s several mailers, which she said characterized her as an “insurrectionist,” a “Trump precinct captain,” and accused her of “committing election fraud.” Full Article...

LEFTISTS LaPOINTE, RABBITT EMPLOY RE-DIRECTION IN STATE REP CAMPAIGNS
Misdirection is different than re-direction. The first connotes an intentional deception. The second is less pejorative, and simply connotes an intentional omission. In the 15th and 19th Illinois House District primary races, re-direction is the name of the game. Incumbent Lindsey LaPointe in the 19th District and candidate Michael Rabbitt in the 15th District are progressive liberals, but both are cloaking themselves in more electable garb for the June 28 Democratic primary. Omission is the name of their game in Democratic circles.Their opponents are Tina Wallace and incumbent Mike Kelly, both of whom have positioned themselves as centrist Democrats. Full Article...
