Jeremiah Joyce Can Expect a Coverage Embargo from Rahm's Chicago Media Pets

The Hardest Working "newspaper" in America ( The Sun Times). . . doesn't.  It takes orders, from Illinois protected oligarchs, sanctioned hacks, SEIU bosses and Billy Dec.


The paper ( Tribune) once regarded as " McCormick's anti-union, anti-Catholic, anti- working man rag"  remains true to its former self with two notable exceptions: John Kass and Kristen McQueary.


WGN television and radio news is whoppie cushion serious.


WTTW - Winnetaka Talking to Wilmette is a government sponsored joke.


WBBM radio seems to take second hand news from the Sun Times.


WMAQ ?  Yeah, me too.  I don't know what they are thinking.


ABC?  Disney and Emanuel Industries.




There you have it. 


Now, about the Hateful Eight running against Rahm?   One is a neighborhood person.  Jeremiah Joyce, Junior. 


He is as smart as David Axelrod pretended Barack Obama to be and has the grades to prove it. Unlike Obama, Jerry Joyce is capable.


Capable?  That is something elected officials tend not to be.


Therefore, the person with a chance to push Rahm Emanuel to one of the coasts again, where he belongs, before he and his omnivorous pals steal everything, is Jeremiah Joyce.

Jerry Joyce, like Jeanne Ives who almost toppled our billionaire Governor Bruce, can expect no coverage of his campaign for Mayor from Chicago's stooge media.


Jerry Joyce should talk to Jeanne Ives about waking up those timid clowns.

The Jeanne Ives Primary Campaign - A Math Problem and The Reckoning

Jeanne Ives and Illinois have Math Problems.  Last night's Primary Election numbers fell short of removing Bruce Rauner from the general election in November.  That was the goal. I am proud to have had a very small part in helping Jeanne Ives.

I predicted a Chris Kennedy v. Jeanne Ives November dust-up.  I was never good with numbers, or money.  Rauner and JB are very good with both.

Wishful thinking and belief in my neighbor's intrinsic good nature can not change outcomes.

Jeanne Ives fit a great fight.  She still has plenty of fight left over.


I believe that people can learn from their mistakes.  I do not know if Illinois is capable.

Illinois is facing many days of reckoning

• Pensions will collapse
• Property and Income Taxes will Increase
• People and businesses will exit this State
• Jobs will continue to vanish
• Abortions will increase
• Drug Abuse will spike - recreational marijuana is on the way 

Jeanne Ives did not get enough votes to help change the politcial culture in Illinois.  People are chanting Jeanne, Jeanne 2022.  

Bruce Rauner is unelectable in November.  Rauner is toxic to both Democrat and Republican voters.  He and Pat Brady managed the right numbers in the key population counties of Central Illinois.  South of Will County, Rauner maintained the GOP votes in Kankakee and Irogouis Counties which really shocked me, haing lived many years downstate.  Bruce and Brady could buy clutches of votes, but not buy love.

JB Pritzker can and did. He will be Governor of Illinois. 

Jeanne Ives, in few short months, ignored by the media from November through February used shoe leather to bring common sense message to Illinois. She was fearless, gracious and thoughtful.

Jeanne Ives will support the man who ignored, villfied and scorned her efforts for common people.  This petty man will serve out his days , be badly beaten November and move to Italy. 

What will be left of Illinois in 2022.

Mike Madigan will still be Speaker of the House and Chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. JB Pritzker will continue making a few people rich and many more thousands of families poor.

Illinois asked for more.

Here it comes. 

Primary Day - My Early Morning Voter Turnout Report

My neighborhood, Chicago's 19th Ward. turns out the leading numbers for voter participation every election -  "The ward, which includes Beverly, Mt. Greenwood and portions of Morgan Park, has historically led the city in voter turnout."

I took a Republican ballot in early voting, in order to cross-over for the next governor of Illinois Jeanne Ives.  I identify as a Democrat, an old school, pro- trades labor, anti-abortion, anti-Communist voter.   The current gaggle of gubernatorial geese running and honking for this office are uniformly pro-abortion and far-Left of center on all issues.

Bruce Rauner is a place-holder who was elected only because Pat Quinn was perfect model of the Progressive Leftists Planned Parenthood Democratic Governor.   Pat Quinn is what being a Democrat in Illinois is all about.

Bruce Rauner ran as a GOP, Mark Kirk sop to voting sheep - people who mouth editorial memes and think that public radio and television is on-the-level. 

Jimmy the Two-Headed Boy could have beaten Governor Pat Quinn, but we elected Bruce the Two-Faced Governor.

The idea was for Bruce to warm the seat for JB Pritzker.  My entire family is for JB.  The family trade is for JB.  I am not in the trade.

Rauner is hoping for low turn-outs everywhere but Chicago.  If that happens he may hold on, until November.

We shall see.

I was for Jeanne Ives years ago and voted for Jeanne Ives on March 5th in early voting*.

I went to church this morning, as I try to do every morning, at St. John Fisher Catholic Church.  St. John Fisher Parish facilities serve as a 19th Ward precinct polling place.   There were a few workers passing out palm cards and two voters at 6:25 AM.

I ducked into church.

When I came out, I asked the workers about the crowd. " Two more voted since you went into church."

I would say that is light.

I drove to my polling place at the Quaker Church on 108th & Artsesian.  There was a forest of knee-high candidate signs, a dozen palm-card passers and no one going into the Friends Meeting House.

Dan Lipinksi and Pat Stanton for Judge win the signage balloting.  My other Primary prognostications -

• I think Jeanne Ives will beat Rauner, because downstate will turn-out

• I think Chris Kennedy will beat JB Pritzker, because black voters will stay home

• I think Dan Lipinski will trounce Ann Marie Newman, because this is the 3rd District, not Hyde Park

• I think the judges will get their robes.  I mean, Hell, This is Cook County!

Vote!

The November General Election Will be Jeanne Ives v. Chris Kennedy

March Primary Winners

And the losers!

Mike Houlihan and I were talking about the looming general election and both of us feel it will be a barn burner, thanks to this March Primary shenanigans ( JB's Black Blago Blather & Bruce's Bosco Bunkum larded with his Ives/Madigan Metamorphosis) indicating a less than vigorous turn-out for JB and a dandy Rauner kick-to-the-curb.

The two people with the millions invested in their own personal interests will be disappointed. Rauner and Pritzker will have wasted more dollars than a rouge Gamblers Anonymous junket to Vegas. 

Jeanne Ives has a mere 3.5 millions dollars in her war chest and Chris Kennedy bests her pile by a mere $2m.


Daniel Biss is the guy that New York wants, but he is still Danny Biss. Chris Kennedy and Jeanne Ives are mirror campaigns; Ives is the right choice and Chris Kennedy is the one the other side will settle upon, by March 20, 2018.

• Black voters won't and JB will need to content himself with marijuana futures.
• Unions will stay for JB, but the rank and file will vote for Chris Kennedy
• Ives will get many Democrat votes, retired, or non-union voters who could careless about drawing a GOP ballot this go-around
• Illinois is more than ready for a huge change and Chris Kennedy's primary victory will be the starting gun for the challenge to Rahm Emanuel
• The beating of JB Pritzker by Primary voters is the thumbs-way-down on Mayor Coon-eyes -definately and the oafish Dick Durbin - early JB cheerleader.

Houlihan and I agree, " The plutocrats have jumped the shark."   Pro Publica's Mick Dumke offers this graphic:
