I read that the hypocritical Muslim community wanted a protest vote
against Biden by writing in "Gaza". Strangely, in the United States Muslim
community's calls for cease fire, it never asks Hamas to simply surrender
and return hostages and prisoners of war. Nor at any point in the last
two decades did they ask other Muslim nations -- Iran and Egypt (during
the brief period in which it was controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood) --
to stop arming Hamas, nor did they ask their fellow Arab governments to
stop giving Hamas foreign aid as it did nearly nothing but buy weapons,
or rip it off for massive cash reserves.

I decided my for FOR Biden was a protest against their hypocrisy. Gah.

In the general election, I can vote third party if anybody puts up

Yeah yeah, I'm stalling.

I'd ordered mail-in ballots for my mother and myself. After a very long
discussion about the two candidates for State's Attorney, I made a
decision. She was quite concerned about how the policy of not
prosecuting for retail theft under $1000 was bad for shopkeepers. I
pointed out that it's not just the aggregate value of merchandise stolen
but the damage that's done to the shop, and they really should be
indicted them on additional charges with serious damage.

In the state criminal code, it's a felony if it's over $300, and
apparently, Kim Foxx won't even prosecute a misdemeanor most of the time
if it's under $1000. Eileen Burke says she'd prosecute according to
state law as she's supposed to follow state law. Clayton Harris would
keep the policy in place.

The Chicago police union endorsed Burke but said even Harris would be
better than Kim Foxx.

I was quite impressed with her record on the bench at trial court and
appellate court, but the answer she's been giving on her prosecution,
very early in her career while an Assistant State's Attorney, of the 8
year old boy for murder on an obviously coerced confession, has been
unacceptable. She blamed the boy's attorney. Yeah, I've no doubt it
could have been a brand-new lawyer on his first major case, with nearly
no resources and no clue how to defend an unsympathetic client with a
sympathetic victim.

But she believed the cop. She wanted the story to be true. It's her
reputation when she puts on specious state's evidence without asking any
hard questions.

It's the second most unethical thing a prosecutor can do, the first
being prosecuting a defendant knowing he's actually innocent of the
crime.

Basically, my mother said, I don't want an unethical state's attorney.

 Looks like Chicago found a stash of "trunk ballots" to help the Democrat win
the race. Who's surprised?

 Funny how these last minute ballots found in someone's trunk or in a closet or
wherever absolutely never favor the Republican candidate, isn't it?
 

Going Full MAGA  now, are we?  The ballots were legitimate and were kept under lock and key.
It was human error.  You know, like we've seen ever since there have been humans.  If you think there's fraud, say so.  Don't be your usual giant pussy.
