Very early in the morning of November 20, 2018, I turned off my computer. Microsoft automatically downloaded a “critical update.” Two hours later when I tried to use the computer, I could not. I could not leave the startup page. I haven’t been on the computer since that morning. I am now using our local library’s computers and have not yet decided if I will try to have my computer repaired. However, it is time to start blogging again. Since I also can’t get into my old Microsoft accounts, I’m starting a new blog as of Saturday, May 4, 2019.
From my last post before being shut down:
“Even though I am being ‘shadow-banned,’ my pageview total hit an all time record high in October. Thank you.
According to google, October 18, 2018 was my 700th post on this website.
I’m still having major problems with microsoft. I finally ended up restoring it twice.”

House of Representatives Republicans “Wall of Shame.”
These 24 Republicans voted to force taxpayers to pay for mutilating surgery for delusional transsexuals who are in the military. [I removed the names of the Representatives from all States who did not seek reelection since their primaries are over.]
Republicans voting No to defeat the amendment: [Original 24 now down to 8.]

These Republicans In Name Only by voting to affirm the delusional fantasies of transsexuals are helping to destroy the military and are, in my opinion, putting both delusional transsexuals and all other military personnel in danger on the battle field during combat. I will keep these names up at least through the 2020 primaries. Perhaps in 2020 more of these Representatives will be defeated in Republican primaries by actual Republican conservatives.

Update: The Illinois House of Representatives overrode the Governor’s veto increasing the individual State income tax rate by 32%.
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/unsustainable-raising-taxes-solves-nothing-makes-illinois-worse-off/
“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

I created a “Wall of Shame” a few years ago for really horrendous Legislative votes and Governor’s actions. It is time for a “Hall of Honor” for actions above and beyond the call of duty. The first such “Hall of Honor” goes to the Mayor and Trustees of the Village of Morton, Illinois who prohibited marijuana businesses within the village limits the same day that the law went into force. The mayor proposed the ordinance and the Trustees passed the ordinance 6-0. The “Hall of Honor” not includes the El Paso Mayor and Council and 6 members of the Naperville City Council.

There was some questionable information about this vote in the
article that I used. Two members of the Naperville City Council contacted me
about it. I asked one of the two to send me the actual motion as voted upon. I
received it Saturday when the library was closed. That motion stated:
“A motion in substitution [A motion replacing the previous motion. The previous motion was not voted upon and I am not providing it here.] was made by Councilman Coyne, seconded by Councilman Hinterlong, for Option 1: to pass the ordinance amending Title 3 of the Naperville Municipal Code by the addition of Chapter 17 prohibiting adult use cannabis business establishments other than medical cannabis cultivation centers and medical cannabis dispensing organizations and to direct staff to bring back a report within 60 days that advises Council concerning including an advisory (non-binding) referendum question on a future election ballot.”
Also from the council member who furnished the motion: “ … the three who voted against made it clear that they were only voting against because they wanted the motion to include more specific details regarding what specific [future election] ballot the referendum will be on:”
I apologize for the confusion. Newspaper articles generally don’t give the specific motion for a vote or the reasons why the members are voting for or against the specific motion.
These six council members voted to
prohibit ALL marijuana businesses within its jurisdiction:

New post:
Criminal law basically serves two purposes: It defines certain
behaviors as either right or wrong according to the governing society. It also
provides the necessary punishment for those who violate those standards
established by the governing society. In general, the more severe the
punishment(s) the more abhorrent the negative behavior is considered to
be.
We also know, from past experiences and human behavior, people will basically react to any law in one of four ways. Depending upon the behavior, the degree of each of these four ways will vary. However, in general, almost all people can be placed in one of the four ways in relation to a specific action.
1) Some people would never participate in a specific action regardless of the law because that action is morally reprehensible to them. For example: Murder. Even if murder were “legal” within the society, they would refuse to commit a murder.
2) Some people might, under the “correct” circumstances, participate in an action if legal but they will not participate in that same practice if illegal because of the societal declaration that it is unacceptable, because of the punishment imposed, or for both reasons. In this circumstance, light to no punishment might be inducement enough to participate in the action when a more severe punishment would greatly decrease participation.
3) Some people will be involved in an illegal action if they believe they have a chance to escape being caught and/or being punished for the illegal activity. In general, the less likely being caught and/or punished, the more likely they will participate in that illegal action [This is particularly important for minors if the activity is legal for adults but illegal for minors. Alcohol consumption and smoking cigarettes are two current examples. Use of “recreational” marijuana will be added to this list when “recreational” marijuana is officially legal on January 1, 2020. There is no question based upon past experience and human behavior that use will increase with availability, lack of enforcement, and peer pressure, among other factors.]
4) Some people are going to commit the crime regardless, if they decide it is in their best interest to commit the crime and they have no moral compunction not to commit the action. This is why no law will ever completely prevent that activity. Laws against murders don’t stop murders. Severe punishment doesn’t prevent all murders. No law ever stops an illegal act 100% of the time.
For legalizing “recreational” marijuana as well as changes in most laws, the individuals who fall into categories 2 and 3 are the ones who will generally be most affected by the change in the law.
Friday’s post conclusion:
If “recreational” marijuana businesses are approved in a local
jurisdiction, that jurisdiction will
experience an increase in the use and abuse of marijuana by minors. It occurs now with alcohol which is illegal for minors and it
will increase for marijuana although still illegal for minors. Legalizing “recreational”
marijuana tells minors that the State of Illinois and the local jurisdiction
see nothing wrong with using marijuana. Minors will have greater access to
marijuana just as they now have access to alcohol. This law will NOT protect minors. It will put minors at much
greater risk than they currently are.
It is naïve to believe otherwise.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of a “recreational” drug
“A drug (such as cocaine, marijuana, or methamphetamine) used without medical justification for its psychoactive effects often in the belief that occasional use of such a substance is not habit-forming or addictive
What is the definition of occasional use?
I was an elected official of a school board in Arizona. Believe me
when I say that good elected public officials pay attention to these ACTIONS.
If they don’t and they go against what you want the solution is simple and
democratic. VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.
In Morton a few years ago, four of our seven school board members voted to implement a “transsexual” policy contrary to the wishes of the general voting public. The next election, three of the four were up for reelection. ALL three of them decided not to run for reelection. Our school superintendent who supported the four took another superintendent job as did the high school principal. I don’t know if the high school principal supported it but my guess is that it was a factor in her leaving. In the next election for the fourth member, she also decided not to run for reelection.
Remember this: Decisions have consequences and as the voting
public you have a voice in those consequences. You have the ultimate power over elected officials’ decisions, if you use it.
Background information for
today’s post:
According to https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population only three States have lost population from the 2010 census to July 1, 2019. Those three States are Illinois, Connecticut, and West Virginia.
Illinois 2010 population = 12,830,632 ~ Illinois estimated population July 1, 2019 = 12,741,080 ~ Percent decrease of 0.7% ~ actual number decrease of 89, 552 people.
Connecticut 2010 population = 3,574,097 ~ Connecticut estimated population July 1, 2019 = 3,572,665 ~ Percent decrease of 0.04% ~ actual number decrease of 1,432 people.
West Virginia 2010 population = 1,852,994 ~ West Virginia estimated population July 1, 2019 = 1,805,832 ~ Percent decrease of 2.5% ~ actual number decrease of 47,162 people.
Since the number of Representatives for each State in the House of Representatives is based upon the population of each of the fifty States, Illinois is bound to lose at least 1 Representative and possibly 2. Since Illinois currently has 18 Representatives, it, at best, will have only 17 after the 2020 census.
The five Republican members of the House of Representatives from
Illinois and their Conservative Review scorecard score.
1) Representative Mike Bost 29% F 4 years in DC
2) Representative Rodney Davis 31% F 6 years in DC
3) Representative Adam Kinzinger 29% F 8 years in DC
4) Representative Darin LaHood 59% F 2+ years in DC: Darin LaHood represents a conservative Republican
District which was the only District that sent 4 Ted Cruz representatives to
the National Convention in 2016 and DID NOT send Darin LaHood as a representative
for Marco Rubio who he called the face of the future of the GOP. Marco Rubio
supported Mitch McConnell’s reelect in 2014 against a Tea Party candidate who
is now the Governor of Kentucky.
5) Representative John Shimkus 34% F 22 years in DC
Note:
Illinois has a history of having an at large member of the House even after the
establishment of Districts. The at large member practice ended in 1949. I’m
listing the at large Representative as the 27th District during the time when
Illinois had 27 members in the House of Representatives. Source for at large
member(s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois%27s_at-large_congressional_district
By the way, I did not know this. I learned something new today.
Number of members in House of Representatives from Illinois
historically:
1818 when joined Union – 1833 = 1 seat
1833 – 1843 = 3 seats [gained 2 seats]
1843 – 1853 = 7 seats [gained 4 seats]
1853 – 1863 = 9 seats [gained 2 seats]
1863 – 1873 = 14 seats [gained 5 seats]
1873 – 1883 = 19 seats [gained 5 seats]
1883 – 1895 = 20 seats, then 22 seats [gained 3 seats]
1895 – 1903 = 22 seats [remained the same]
1903 – 1913 = 25 seats [gained 3 seats]
1913 – 1943 = 27 seats [gained 2 seats]
1943 – 1953 = 26 seats [lost 1 seat]
1953 – 1963 = 25 seats [lost 1 seat]
1963 – 1983 = 24 seats [lost 1 seat]
1983 – 1993 = 22 seats [lost 2 seats]
1993 – 2003 = 20 seats [lost 2 seats]
2003 – 2013 = 19 seats [lost 1 seat]
2013 – present = 18 seats [lost 1 seat]
From 1913 through 1943, Illinois had a total of 27 members in the
House of Representatives. The most it has ever had. From 1943 on, it has lost
at least 1 Representative after ever redistricting based upon the new census
that occurs every 10 years.
Illinois will certainly lose at least 1 seat after the 2020
census.
I fault the Republican Party for much of what has happened over
the last nine years in Illinois. It is either incompetent, in cahoots with Leftist
socialists, or both. After the 2010 election, Republicans had a majority of members
in the US House of Representatives when there were 19 Representatives. After
the Leftist socialists redistricted based upon the 2010 census, Republicans
lost the majority in the 2012 election.
Also in 2010, Republicans nominated a pro-murder of babies in the
womb and a pro-homosexual agenda Senate candidate in Mark Kirk. The only reason
he won was because the Leftist socialist Senate candidate and his family had
legal problems. In the 2016 primary, every Republican members of the House
including Darin LaHood, who Represents the 18th District and is suppose to be
the most conservative of the 5 members of Congress, supported Mark Kirk for
reelection.
I wrote a letter to Darin LaHood sending it by “certified
mail/signed receipt requested” asking him why he was supporting Mark Kirk over
a 100% pro-life conservative who grew-up in our area of the State. As most
Establishment Republicans do, he decided not to answer my letter. As a result,
I have not voted for him since nor will I. Of course, Mark Kirk lost the
election. More importantly, the Republican Party in Illinois demonstrated that
it is not a pro-life Party.
Then, 10 Republican House members of the General Assembly voted to override the governor’s veto of a bill making the “temporary” 32% tax increase for individuals permanent. 7 of the 10 did not run for reelection and the other three, who are now on my “Wall of Shame” segment of my blog, won reelection. Did the State Republican Party want the bill to be overridden? Did the Party seek out members who were not going to run for reelection and ask them to vote to override? Did the Party then convince 3 other members who were in safe districts to also vote for the override? I don’t know the answer to the question but I do know that the positive vote to override was politically damaging to the Republican Party.
During the same time, the “Republican In Name Only” Governor, who was pro-murdering babies in the womb but promised to be neutral on the question according to pro-life groups (I was living in Texas during this election and I was told after I moved back that he had promised to remain neutral.), signed into law a bill that forced every taxpayer in Illinois to help finance the murder of babies within the womb. I said on my blog, at the time, that he had just signed into law his reelection defeat. I knew that to be true. Why did not the State Republican Party?
At the time, the 7 Republican members of the US House of Representatives claimed that the Republican Party in Illinois was a pro-life Party. Yet, it seems the Party made no attempt to recruit a strong pro-life Republican to run against the RINO Governor in the primary. Instead, a last minute pro-life candidate jumped in and garnered 48% of the primary vote. Those same Republican members of Congress including Darin LaHood were absolutely silent during the primary, as far as I know. That was an obvious signal to the Republican primary voter that the Party accepted the pro-murder signature of the RINO Governor.
The result was predictable for anyone who knows politics. The RINO Governor, as the head of the ticket, could not garner even 40% of the vote. Two more Republican members of the House of Representatives were defeated. Leftist socialists gained supermajorities in both Houses of the General Assembly. The Republican Party literally handed all of State government over to Leftist socialists.
Without a doubt, Illinois will lose at least one Representative after the 2020 census is completed going from 18 to 17 and possibly 16. Illinois has not been at 17 Representatives in decades. If the Republican Party can not gain control of at least one House of the General Assembly in the 2020 election, the same gerrymandering that occurred for the 2012 election will occur for the 2022 election. Two incumbent Republican Representatives will be thrown into one District. And if I were a Leftist socialist, I would throw Darin LaHood into District 17 against Cheri Bustos. I think he would most certainly lose to her if the election were held today. If both scenarios happen, it is likely that the Republicans could end up with only 3 Representatives out of 17 unless Republicans go on the offensive.
It is obvious to me that either local Republican officials start fighting back or Leftist socialists are going to totally destroy this State. One way to fight back right now is to reject this ploy by the Left in relation to “recreational” marijuana. There is a reason why they included community choice for both gambling and “recreational” marijuana. Any complaints about the negative results from legalized “recreational” marijuana can be place squarely on local officials. “We gave every local community the choice to opt out and they decided to allow gambling/‘recreational’ marijuana. Don’t blame us. Blame your local officials.” Do local governments really want to keep play this losing game?
It seems they do. Is there ANY leadership from
Congressional Republicans in Illinois in relation to “recreational” marijuana?
There should be. The current law is in direct opposition to federal law which
lists marijuana as a Schedule I drug as I have discussed in previous posts.
As far as I know, there is NO leadership from
Congressional Republicans at all in relation to “recreational” marijuana. Darin
LaHood, my Congressman for the 18th District, has sent me 8 newsletters since
the start of July. Morton, my home town, was the first local government to
prohibit “recreational” marijuana. Not a word about “recreational” marijuana in
ANY of the 8 newsletters. No congratulatory statement about Morton’s ordinance.
No mention of El Paso’s prohibition ordinance although El Paso is also in his
District. Not a word. Nothing. Zilch.
Does the Republican Party want “recreational”
marijuana? Does the Republican Party care that the Illinois law violates
federal law? Are members of the Republican Party too scared to show any
leadership on this issue? Has the Republican Party in Illinois once again capitulated
to Leftist socialists? Is there an opposition party in Illinois?
There are only three things that can occur
once “recreational” marijuana is legalized. Its use will increase among minors. Its use will decrease among
minors. Its use will remain the same.
Realistically, which of the three do you
believe will be the case?
