Trump Is Asking SCOTUS For The 'Right' To Essentially Do The Things He Is Accusing Biden Of Doing?

Donald Trump believes that the President of the United States should have immunity from any crimes he might commit in what he considers the execution of his job. And don’t forget that word execution because he’s applied it to his opponents a number of times. But then on the second accordion wave of his tiny tiny hands during any and every rally rant, he accuses the incumbent of weaponizing the…

Sen. Ron Johnson Supports Improved Sex and Family Health Education

Despite continuing to ride his anti-abortion Trojan Horse this past week, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson seems to be supporting improved sex and family health education. If only he puts some money where his mouth is. And yes this post is taken completely out of context, but as Reps. Taylor Greene, Gaetz, and Boebert, and Sens. Cruz, Rubio, and Johnson, and that former guy have proven, that’s…

Thursday Music: Crosby Stills Nash and Young: OHIO. Special Edition, for House Speaker Mike Johnson...see below

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson went to Columbia University to see what all the brouhaha over the Gaza protests is about and was unsurprisingly (at least to this writer) not well received. He went on and suggested that he would demand that President Joe Biden call up the National Guard and bring order to the campus. As a veteran of the Viet Nam War era protests, I am here to tell him that is a…

[satire] In The Wake of AZ Re-instituting Abortion Law From 1864, Prior To Statehood, Others Are Looking At Vampire Laws, etc.

[satire] follows: A 160 year old zombie abortion law enacted prior to statehood, was allowed to become law in Arizona by their supreme court. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by a number of interested parties from that part of North America. The Catholic Church would like to reclaim title to The Alamo in San Antonio Texas. Although unused and seemingly abandoned in the early 19th C, the Church had…

Mary Spender can be funny and serious all at the same time. One of my guilty pleasures. Warning and I apologize, she has an ad at the end of the video for one of her music courses.

Democrats Behaving Badly, If They Are Democrats, Part II

LET US KNOW BELOW YES [link here] NO [link here] So what do you think? Russian Trolls?? Trump Trolls stealing lefty money?

Democrats Behaving Badly, If They Are Actually Democrats

My friends and I have received a number of texts over the past month or so from stoptrump.io. I am not sure how legit this organization is but their website is certainly aimed at harvesting money. This last message is just a bit insulting and demanding, and I did not respond particularly well to the message. Barack Obama: “Whatever You’ve Done So Far Is Not Enough!” Give us $10 to DESTROY Trump…

‘They’ Want To Recall Robin Vos: Part III: Where's The Money Coming From?

I have written about this on two previous occasions: ‘They’ Want To Recall Robin Vos. But It Isn’t Who You Think. and ‘They’ Want To Recall Robin Vos: Reprise . You would think after failing at their initial attempt to recall Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, under the weight of their own negligence and arrogance, that ‘they’ would give up. But no, the ‘whack-jobs, morons and idiots’ are determined to…

Endorsement: Evan Goyke for Milwaukee City Attorney

Evan Goyke has served as a public defender and Wisconsin assembly man. He has the experience and demeanor required to right the ship that is the City Attorney’s office. The incumbent has created a total shambles in the office, driving out competent experienced attorneys, a bit of cronyism, rumors of a toxic work environment and possible harassment, and a total lack of accountability. Goyke is…

‘They’ Want To Recall Robin Vos: Reprise

The ‘whack-jobs, morons and idiots’ as Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos addressed them, fell short in their effort to recall the GOP legislative leader. They just didn’t have enough valid signatures and even some of those that they have turned in seem to be fraudulent. I can’t say that I am surprised. But of course the radical right can’t leave things there, so they have filed a number of…

Endorsement: Cavalier Johnson for Mayor of Milwaukee

Cavalier (Chevy) Johnson was elected Mayor of Milwaukee in a special election a few years ago to replace Mayor Tom Barrett who had been tapped by President Biden to be the ambassador to Luxembourg. I have known Chevy since 2011 as we met at Democratic Party functions and I donated to and supported all of his previous runs for office. He immediately impressed my as an intelligent and focused young…

Spine Free Robin Vos Flip Flops On Trump

Just days after calling the right wing extremists who are trying to recall the Assembly Speaker because he hasn’t supported Donald Trump enough and didn’t overturn Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election results, “whack jobs,” “morons” and “fraudsters”, Robin Vos turned around and endorsed Donald Trump for president. You do know Robin, that it isn’t a requirement of an elected official to endorse…
