ALL-FEMALE DEMOCRATIC TICKET IS BEST CHANCE TO BEAT TRUMP-VANCE
In a perfect world, Democratic strategists at their upcoming national convention in Chicago, beginning Aug. 19, would most likely be pondering – but carefully not uttering – an all-female ticket – Kamala Harris for president and another woman for VP – a chance to defeat Trump/Vance, an all-male ticket. Ya know, “You go girl” vs “You’re the man.” But that’s unlikely. There is absolutely no doubt that Harris will be the Democrats’ pick. The Democratic establishment, desperate to beat Trump, has coalesced behind her. Polling prior to Joe Biden’s July 21 withdrawal had Trump beating Biden-Harris in all seven battleground states – AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, and WI, which have a cumulative 93 electoral votes (EVs). Biden lost only NC in 2020. The EV was 306-232; the winner needs 270. To win Trump must carry all his 2020 states plus NC, NV, GA and AZ (49 EVs), where his is currently ahead beyond the margin-of-error, which is 4 points. That puts him at 265, just 5 short. That leaves MI, PA, and MI (44 EVs). Winning just one of the 3 puts Trump in the White House again. The 2016 EV was 304/227. Full Article...

BIDEN'S "SOFTIE" ILLINOIS CONVENTION DELEGATES ARE MUM AND MUZZLED
It is said that when you do or say something really dumb, the best response is to never explain and never apologize – or just outright lie and deny. That might not work so well with a spouse or boss. But politicians and journalists, or those collectively known as THE MEDIA, do it all the time. Of course, those who do have some particle of wisdom understand that if you don’t say or do something stupid then you don’t have to explain, apologize, deny or lie afterwards. There is a movement afoot among national Democratic elites to dump Joe Biden because he is looking like a loser to Trump. After the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump that may now be a certainty. Since 3,905 of the 3,949 elected Democratic delegates ran pledged to Biden, then his re-nomination should be a certainty. So I decided to find out if some local Biden-pledged delegates were ALL-IN FOR JOE – whether they would vote for Joe on the first and all subsequent ballots. Attached is a CHART listing the Biden-pledged delegates from the Lakefront/Northwest Side/northwest suburban 5th, 9th and 3rd congressional districts, a total of 21 delegates. I have had contact over the past decade (or more) with Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36th), state senator Sara Feigenholtz (D-6), MWRD commissioner Marcelino Garcia and attorney and Park Ridge school board member Aurora Austriaco. They know me. They know what I do. They know why I called, as I explained in my multiple voice messages. Are you with Biden? All the way? Or are you just a lackey for the Democratic Party and J.B. Pritzker, who runs and funds the state Dems? Are you going to vote like you’re told? Or vote the intent of the voters who elected you? Full Article...

DUMPING BIDEN IS ALL ABOUT ELECTABILITY, NOT CAPABILITY OR COMPETENCE
“Resignation” has a dual meaning. It is a noun which defines an act of quitting, a formal notice in writing of relinquishment of some position or job and a patient submission, passive acceptance of reality. This precisely describes the Democrats’ frenzy about whether or not to dump President Joe Biden. They want Biden to resign but they are definitely not resigned to a second Trump presidency. Before the June 27 debate Democrats were united and energized by their fear and hate of Trump. He was the focus. Now Biden is the issue. It’s all about feelings versus reality – and remember, the Democrats are the party of “feelings.” There is a contingent of Democrats who are in denial, who refuse to accept that Biden is suffering from diminished mental capability, deem the debate just an off day, sympathize with the president’s plight, appreciate his persistent support of a Left agenda and are insistent that Biden can beat Trump. But that is unfair to the American voter. They should consider whether he is what’s best for the American people and not whether they will have jobs after November. They are loyal, the same way Trumpsters are. But a lot of them crave a Kamala Harris presidency. “What can be, unburden by what has been,” is a phrase she uses a lot. I still don’t know what that exactly means, but I guess it’s about hope and a positive future. The other faction is the realists, who watch the polls and comprehend that Biden’s cognitive issues translate into a diminished electability. In other words, they think he can and will LOSE to Trump. “This is a really bad situation” for the party, said one Democratic Party source, indicating over 70 percent of Democrats want somebody else as their 2024 nominee. There will be a 2024 election for 10 CSB (school board) Members. Attached is a LIST of North/Northwest Side candidates. The CTU has endorsed 10; expect their puppets to win. Full Article...

LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN? NOT COOK COUNTY'S DEMOCRATS
Back in the day, long before identity politics, woke-ism and gender obsession, the U.S. Marines’ recruitment slogan was “We’re looking for a few good men.” Nowadays it would be “looking for a few human-persons of indeterminate gender with a pulse.” But the Cook County Democrats cling to the Marines’ tradition – or sort of. When it comes to slating candidates for countywide offices, particularly judgeships, they are looking for as FEW MEN AS POSSIBLE. Or, more specifically, for as few straight White me as possible. Of the 16 judicial contests on the March 19 ballot a White man was slated for — and won – two, and one of them was LGBTQ. There are three things to remember about Lady Justice: She is not blind, she can do arithmetic and she is not a Republican. And the sum total of judicial math in Cook County is a debit for straight White men, which has now grown to include Latino men. Whites need not apply. The results of judicial primary contests are in a CHART attached. Full Article...
