the other thing is Lahn sucks, no one likes him, whereas Hinson is a traditional Big Ag republican that draws from the pool of support as the Branstad/Grassley Iowa GOP machine. 12 still seems too much but if it was 9 or 10 I wouldnt be surprised at all.

Eight years ago, Illinois faced the nation's biggest fiscal challenge — budget turmoil, unpaid debt, and a credit rating downgraded 24 times.

“Many Vietnamese businesses in the United States fly the flag of the brutal former puppet state of South Vietnam. The Miami Cubans have gained enough notoriety to warrant their own moniker; Venezuelans, Brazilians, and other Latin American migrants from disproportionately petit-bourgeois backgrounds have joined them in parroting anti-communist talking points and defending the most autocratic neo-imperial puppets vying for control of their homelands. In 2019, well-to-do and well-connected non-resident Indians and Indian Americans hosted a garish welcome reception in Houston, Texas, for India’s Hindu nationalist prime minister Narendra Modi, who was introduced by none other than Trump himself; Trump has further appointed Indian Americans such as Kash Patel and Nikki Haley to some of the highest ranking positions across his two administrations.”
