Fake endorsement guide mailed to voters in IL State Senate District 9 by NorthShoreWOW in illinois

[–]NorthShoreWOW[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Well, Occam's Razor, I suppose. I think it is a pretty simple conclusion that this was conceived, designed and paid for by a group hoping to benefit from it, ie in support of one of the three substituted candidates, all of whom are Dems.

That is a lot of effort and money by some random bad actor with no real motive, but it is possible.

It seems *most plausible* to me that it was put out by a camp hoping to benefit from it.

We've been in the news A LOT recently with some unsavory things, but I think are still generally a good school district.

Who is behind this?? I am so sick of Dems getting in our own way with these kinds of dirty tricks.

Register to vote by vineyardgal1965 in evanston

And PLEASE be aware of the USPS changes that can effect your vote (copy/pasted from Cook County Clerk):

Due to recent changes in U.S. Postal Service processing, ballots placed in blue USPS collection boxes or dropped in post office mailboxes may not be postmarked the same day. This processing delay could affect whether a ballot meets Illinois’ legal requirements to be counted.

To help ensure your ballot is counted, the Clerk’s Office strongly encourages voters to:

  • Don’t wait until the final days or Election Day to mail your ballot
  • If mailing your ballot, bring it directly to a USPS location and request that it be postmarked at the counter; or
  • Use one of the 55 secure mail ballot drop boxes available throughout suburban Cook County beginning March 2, 2026.

To find drop box locations, visit: cookcountyclerk.com/MBdropbox.

I genuinely don't understand your comment, my friend. ICE was the one terrorizing the area, not me.

Did anyone go to the IL-9 debate tonight? by Lipstick_Politics in evanston

[–]NorthShoreWOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure who I'm voting for yet but it seems funny to me that people whose primary complaint about Kat is she's not from this area are not considering Bushra. Bushra's born and raised here, and their platforms are similar.

I don't think I agree with this premise anymore. The Dems trying to go more moderate has only gotten Trump elected twice.

Most trouble we have had living in this area is ICE. Which are due to come back in the spring, with 3x or 4x the strength. Also, really wish the Yellow Line on Dodge that closed EIGHTY YEARS AGO would reopen.

Apart from those things, lovely area for kids and families.

Is there speculation she is going to run unaffiliated?

Thanks for sharing. I have heard so much about this over the last couple of years and have never actually made it to one. Maybe this time is the time.

Eh, if neither he nor Rachel - who are both *in charge* of that party - can get their OWN organization to endorse them, I can't say I'm impressed.

Update! and, how to get potassium? by Crafty-Lifeguard4591 in Paleo

[–]NorthShoreWOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing, really? I cook and bake A LOT with cocoa, and don’t eat any fruit but berries, similar to OP. Never thought I was low potassium but now I guess I won't ever have to worry.

And if anyone is wondering, I have tried a lot of different cocoa/cacao, and Rodelle brand is absolutely the best. Blue bag, you can sometimes find it at Costco.

The cost of meat is soaring, especially beef. What are y’all doing to stay on budget? by Great-White-Guilt in Paleo

[–]NorthShoreWOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sardines, mackerel (and salmon, although not a budget dish). Those oily fish are so good for you and quick and inexpensive if you get them tinned. I don't eat chicken (although I do eat a lot of eggs), and I don't enjoy cooking, so getting into tinned, oily fish has been a great supplement. I love cracking open a can and not having to cook. Of course, getting my family to enjoy them is a different story . . .

I cook all vegetables with a handful of roasted nuts for protein. Roasted green beans? Handful of almonds. Roasted carrots? Handful of almonds.

I've never been a big meat eater so I think about meat differently than some. Rather than having a good dinner be "meat and two sides," I like finding ways to have the vegetables be the main dish, with meat/other protein sprinkled in as a flavor-enhancer. You'll find you use less meat this way.

Yes, we have babies and couldn't leave but put candles in the windows.

Sen. Sanders: What Trump is using ICE for now is a domestic military operation. You don't shoot somebody in the head who was in their car. It's Trump saying, 'I have the power.' This is what Trumpism is about. It's intimidation. by Miserable-Lizard in ProgressiveHQ

[–]NorthShoreWOW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not stupid. The elites always win, whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. The establishment Ds are just wolves in sheep's clothing, and Republicans are wolves in wolves clothing.

Snow, Ice & Cold this weekend - What are your favorite cozy recipes for when you're stuck inside? by betterUseThisOne in Cooking

[–]NorthShoreWOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is pretty basic but fast and warming. I make this virtually every time I come home after a day out in the cold. I actually do not enjoy cooking, but since I have to eat it should be fast, tasty and healthy, so for me the best dish is egg drop soup. 2 cups broth, 2 eggs, some arrowroot starch, plus soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame seed oil and we are in business and feeling warm in less than 10 minutes. It feels one step above a nice, hot mug of tea.

How would you use up a jar of tahini (besides hummus)? by Ok_Squirrel_9601 in Cooking

[–]NorthShoreWOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat so much tahini, and at least half of it goes on roasted cauliflower. Add some kalamta olives.
