The prosecution theory in Trump’s hush money trial:

Even Anderson Cooper asks: ‘Is it novel, is it pie in the sky?‘ Is it a bird, or a plane? In one comedy skit on classic TV, Steve Allen parodied Superman. Cape flowing thanks to an off-camera fan, the TV pioneer held his hands held straight out (no doubt for aerodynamic purposes) while suspended inches from the ground, accompanied by the sound effect of rushing wind. Still wearing his trademark…

Speaker Mike McCarthy for President!

He braved the mob at Columbia U! America needed Washington, cherry tree or not. The Head Groundskeeper needs his heroes, too. Preferably living. Glued to a page in his childhood scrapbook is a photograph of his first crush, Corkie and her dog, White Shadow. Serialized on the Mouseketeers TV program in 1956. (Buddy Ebsen played the father!) IMDB Featured Review: Freckle-faced, buck-toothed…

Show me the crime!

Trump may be guilty, but not of this! Few years back, a state employee recommended that a contract be awarded to a travel agency whose boss wrote an election campaign check to Jim Doyle, governor of Wisconsin. The fix was in! A Republican-appointed prosecutor charged the low-level bureaucrat with a crime most felonious! A conservative judge sentenced the poor woman to the federal hoosegow. An…

Attention graduates of the University of Hamas:

We’re not paying your student loans! We’re doing a countdown until the River-to-the-Sea people at the University of Wisconsin here in Madison parrot the party line of the terminally Woke at Columbia, Yale, Penn, and Harvard. We will see then whether Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin enters the transfer portal along with the Chamberlin Rock. Once again, the self-entitled bullies of the school yard…

Can he beat the rap?

Tearful testimony ahead (from Trump)? Donald Trump (do I have your attention?) is like that character John Garfield played in The Postman Always Rings Twice. He may not have been guilty of the crime for which he was convicted but he sure as hell was guilty of something! We’ve said before that all three New York prosecutions are bogus and other words that begin with B (that rhymes with T and…

Only NOW our school board races are political?

(Because Leftists are losing!) Elections are so unfair when your side loses. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is indignant about how “partisan” school board races have become. Because conservatives won a whole bunch of them in the liberal newspaper’s back yard this April. Have you heard of WisRed? It’s a Republican organization that has held enormous sway in school board elections in Waukesha…

Defund National Public Radio

Christopher Rufo in City Journal plumbs the terminally Woke mind of the woman who pushed Uri Berliner out the door at National Public Radio: What you notice first about [NPR boss Katherine] Maher’s public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: “structural privilege,” “epistemic emergency,” “transit justice,” “non-binary people,” “late-stage capitalism,” “cis white mobility privilege,” “the…

Help DEI to DIE!

DEI statements are today’s loyalty oaths! Aaron Rodgers’s play under center for the New York Jets was only a tad more brief than Ronna McDaniels’ career as an opinionator at MSNBC.  The 24/7 progressive cable news outlet hired the former Republican National Committee chairman on a Friday in March for a wee dram of intellectual diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ms. McDaniel was let go by Tuesday…

Normalizing lies is not patriotic

Even Germany confronted its sins. The Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire warned “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” That describes the presumptive nominee of the Republican party — an organization to which this blogger has devoted his allegiance these past 34 years. Would that the tranch of resolutions submitted to the caucus of WI Second District…

Mr. Alderman, prove your innocence!

Or confirm you’re Woke by taking the word of your accusers! Should “someone with multiple allegations of domestic abuse be in public office?” The alleged abuser is Madison Alder Charles Myadze. That question was posted social media — that on-line kangaroo court where opinions triumph over facts. The accusation is this: two women accuse Ald. Myadze of “physically and emotionally” abusing them.…

Throw away the keys

To car and jail cell! Tiambra Walker is in a place where it is difficult to run down and kill pedestrians and their dogs. The young lady, age 21, is cooling her heels in the Dane County Jail. Her bail was set at $300,000 this week after authorities finally got their mitts on the runaway. But not before she ran down Stephen Fleck, 66, one day in February 2023 while the pedestrian was walking his…

Mainstream news media, you have a diversity problem!

Quit telling us what we need to believe! My old boss Dave Zweifel put into print his thoughts on “How DEI became an insult.” We won’t link because Dave uses an egregious example which does nothing to explain how DEI became an insult, and deservedly so. Here’s a better example: A liberal environmentalist and near-West side Biden supporter told us of the time he reported some local issue to his…

Uncle Joe buys votes of college deadbeats

Again, Big Gummint picks winners and losers! The platform of the Democrat(ic) Party can be summarized in three words: More Free Stuff. While we were distracted by the partial eclipse of the sun Monday, the President of the United States dropped out of the sky to reinforce that single truth here in Madison WI. The irony is that the President chose Madison (Technical) College, not the University…

Big blackout in the sky heralds end times!

Got to be a big portent of something! Total eclipse of the sun! Falling bridges! Famines and earthquakes in all the wrong places! Chemtrails and deadly vaccines! Wars and rumors of war! Nations rising against nation, kingdoms against kingdoms, Republicans against Republicans (and RINOS). False prophets … Open your eyes, people (unless you stare at the sun without welder’s goggles) before the…

We’ll have to settle for just some of the eclipse

Not the totality, darn it! Pulled out our Rand McNally World Atlas (large scale) and poured over the maps of Illinois and Indiana, something we are not wont to do here at Stately Blaska Manor except that Monday 04-08-24 a total eclipse of the sun sweeps across the North American continent from Mexico to Newfoundland. On its journey, it darkens a path 115 miles wide — that’s the “Totality” — for…

Wisconsin became a little more Republican this week

Party building from bottom up! A little potpourri today to fulfill our onerous contract obligations to our investors in North Korea. Quibblers argue that Democrats played mischief in the Republican primary Tuesday 04-02-24 by voting for candidates not named “Trump.” That’s why, they aver, their man lost 21% of the vote to ghost challengers who long ago quit the race. If anything, it’s the other…

Are our politics becoming a for-real blood sport?

Can we keep a civil tongue? Did it begin with the 2011 takeover of the Wisconsin State Capitol over Act 10? Or the Antifa-inspired trashing of Madison’s State Street, the burning of Kenosha and Portland in the Summer 2020? Was the seditious routing of Congress on January 6 the following year an escalation or just more of the same? How much violence can we expect at the national party conventions…
