    AIPAC is dropping $600k into IL-09 Democratic Primary.

    Why?

    Because a millennial journalist and social media star of Palestinian descent is polling well.

    But they know their brand is toxic so they’ve created an organization called Elect Chicago Women to find someone who ISN’T the front runner who also happens to be a woman.

    Sorry Dudes. AIPAC isn’t with you.

    @ 2

    But they know their brand is toxic so they’ve created …

    Deaf people are so toxic they have to rally around one of their own:

    Howard Rosenblum, former CEO of the National Association of the Deaf, Skokie – Democrat
    – Marlee Matlin, actress

    This is nothing more than overt bigotry toward people who can hear. Oh, and sarcasm.

    The Anti-Jew @ 1 is worried that his candidate of choice, Kat Abughazaleh, is fading despite spending $1,381,768.64 in 2025 Q4, which is more than a million dollars more than the next-highest spending Democrat candidate.

    While Abughazaleh raised the second-most last quarter at $1.18 million … this haul was wiped out by spending $1.38 million over the same period, over four times more than any other candidate. This was driven by spending $475,000 on her two digital ad buys, $339,000 on fundraising consultants, $95,000 on management consulting from former campaign manager Sam Weinberg

    And now, it seems, AIPAC figures the time to enter the race is now.

    Why did we not hear from Anti-Jew until his candidate began to fade?

    I don’t blame Anti-Jew for being worried.

    Here is why the Anti-Jew is worried:

    Fine has jumped into a tie for first place. A survey from November of last year2 showed a
    different picture, with Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss holding an early advantage, at 20
    percent, ahead of Kat Abughazaleh (14 percent) and Laura Fine (13 percent). Two months
    later, both Biss and Abughazaleh remain stuck in place despite heavy communications while
    Fine increased her vote share by more than 50 percent.
    • Fine’s strongest support comes from the most likely voters to turnout. Primary turnout
    projections can range dramatically, but one consistent factor in them is turnout among
    voters age 65+. This is where Laura Fine is strongest. Fine currently holds a 34 – 29 percent
    edge over her nearest competitor, Biss, with this critical bloc (Fine trailed Biss 19 – 29
    percent here in November). Fine leads the field among all voters age 50+ as well as among
    all voters outside the city of Chicago.

    Meanwhile, his favored candidate is mired in third place, 7 points back.

    Government owned grocery stores don’t work.

    Well unless you’re the Defense Commisary Agency. Prices cheaper than Walmart.

    Oh EXCUSE ME, the WAR Commissary Agency. (rolls eyes)

    And and no, the video is NOT a plug for the fucking Army to occupy cities that poopy pants doesn’t like.

    Oh, and Ashley? That was not a hug. She took your wallet.

    I live in the Midwest. I’ve seen entire factories—employers that kept a little cornfield town alive—disappear overnight after production was moved to Mexico or China.

    Complete devastation for an entire close-knit community. No tears, no 4,000-word eulogies in WaPo, no hyperventilating on Twitter. Anonymous suffering, broken families, people forced to uproot their lives just to survive.

    The overeducated, overpaid, overvalued, overprivileged activists-disguised-as-journalists who spent years whipping up climate hysteria and fomenting racial division while destroying the reputation of a once-great American newspaper have no idea what devastation looks like.

    Good luck with your Substack, Ashley.

    Yesterday, I was wet-eyed (obvi) on the Metro, wearing my Post beanie (obvi), and a woman, a stranger, leaned over and hugged me.

    Which is to say: The entire city understands the scope of this devastating tragedy…

    @4

    Single digits back and generating support from the youngs who it’s assumed don’t turn out is why a pack is dropping over half million to try to stop her.

    Good of you to play into the namesake by equating a pack with all Jews.
