What Happened in Wisconsin?

 Bill O’Reilly breaks down the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor.

Why Democrats Fear the Socialist Wave in Wisconsin

The Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor isn't just messy—it's a national bellwether. As Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez's campaign imploded in a finance scandal and moderates scramble, democratic socialist state Rep. Francesca Hong is riding a wave of genuine enthusiasm. This isn't isolated. Across the country in 2026, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed candidates are scoring wins and forcing the party to confront where its real grassroots energy lives.

Capitol Fax: Part-time DuPage Dem social media staffer resigns after horrid and stupid tweets

 I retweeted Rich Miller's post on Twitter so now I must blog about it. As I said on Twitter it was just too "rich" to share and no pun intended.

Mark Dice discuss the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

 

[VIDEO] I think this is a pretty good video to watch with regards to the trial and the media coverage of it. From when it happened last year to the trial going on now.

Tim Pool: Rittenhouse judge YELLS at prosecutor over grave misconduct

 

[VIDEO] I don't feel as if I can adequately give an update to this case as I'm hardly following this. An 18-year-old man faces life in prison in Wisconsin for his part in a violent confrontation that resulted in two deaths during civil unrest in the small metropolis of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

By my eyes it's a clear cut case of self-defense, however, the prosecution from what I heard has done a great job of embarrasing themselves as how they conducted their prosecution. And I hear there could possibly be a mistrial that would prevent further prosecution of one Kyle Rittenhouse.

This trial seems like a mess, however, any trial involving civil unrest during the previous summer there are a lot of attention on a lot of these cases. I could say the attention to Rittenhouse is almost similar to Derek Chauvin although Chauvin is the officer involved with the demise of one George Floyd.

In the case of Rittenhouse, he was a young man of 17 who was confront by very violent men and was able to handle it with his AR-15 rifle. I've seen footage of him crying this incident took a toll on his young emotions. And seeing enough of the judge in this case even he's tired of this case.

Timcast: Trump campaign to file lawsuit in Wisconsin

 

[VIDEO] Trump may well lose in the electoral college as the odds are very much against him in challenging the results in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. However, some questionable things are coming up and if you want a Trump victory at this point hard for me to see it. On the other hand, if it uncovers some real fraud or irregularities that really curbs this happening in the future then it's a good thing for this democracy and for our republic.

From Madison.com

President Donald Trump is looking to invalidate swaths of absentee ballots cast in Wisconsin's two biggest and most liberal counties under a lawsuit filed Tuesday with the state Supreme Court seeking to reverse the results in a state he lost by less than 1 percentage point.

The expected legal action was filed in the days after Wisconsin completed its partial presidential recount and officials certified the state's presidential results, a move that kicked off a countdown to head to the courts.

Filed directly with the state's highest court, the lawsuit targets some 220,000 ballots, accounting for many of the same absentee votes the Trump campaign homed in on during the recount in Dane and Milwaukee counties over the last week-and-a-half.

Like I've been saying, time is running out and we may be heading for a future Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration. This pandemic allowed election authorities the ability to change the rules. 

Tim Pool: He discusses what's coming

 

[VIDEO] He dropped something earlier in this roughly 25 mins video, if Hillary Clinton became the first woman POTUS the left would've come out and protest anyway. However, she didn't win and we had a far more flawed POTUS in Donald Trump so their "grievances" are magnified because the mainstream or fake news media doesn't like Trump. These activists are only using the race issue as a way to continue their so-called insurrection.

Unfortunately there are enablers in this. Pool has been saying for a while since I started following him that a Biden/Harris administration will not stand up against it. It's very likely they'll enable it as is already occurring right now in this nation.

He notes that BLM stormed a Trader Joe's in Seattle wanting to harass shoppers there. Then he mentions Yelp taking a stand against racism by informing users that they will flag a business that has any reported issue of racist activity. If you're a small business owner and you have a dissatisfied customer this is how they get you! 

He mentioned Wauwatosa, Wisconsin there was some unrest there after the Milwaukee County District Attorney announced no charges against a Black police officer after he shot and killed a Black suspect - and let's be clear from what I've heard the Black suspect didn't cooperate again and this incident probably involved a weapon. They came to peoples homes up there disturbing folks at home breaking windows. This is what's happening in our nation now.

Someone has to stand against this! 

Blue Collar Logic: How a BLM activist learned his lesson

[VIDEO] I saw this video last week and it was interesting to see an Arizona BLM activist - Jared Maupin - take up an offer from a police department to see what law enforcement has to go through at any given moment. Let's be clear that policing day-to-day is a very dangerous job and by the current climate even more dangerous especially with the onerous rules that are being imposed because well BLM.

This video was published in the wake of the unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin - you might have heard President Trump was just up there checking out the damage - in light of a police shooting of Jacob Blake. He is said to be paralyzed from his encounter with police which stems from his unwillingness to cooperate with police.

I keep seeing different conflicting reports about Blake for example some reports show he was unarmed and yet that are enhanced photos showing he does have an object in his hand. Some speculate that he had a knife known as a karambit in his hand as he walks away from police. Not only that when he got shot in the back - sounds awful on its face doesn't it - he was reaching in his car for something possibly another weapon.

See if you have a police officer pointing their weapon and they're trained to assess threats it's probably the best idea to just cooperate with them. We also hear he had a warrant on them so police probably wasn't going to give the man a lot of leeway.

In this video you hear one clear thing - cooperating is key. Cooperate with police and the police will be at ease and most importantly you won't get hurt. Fight with police and it's likely to not end well for you. If you want to fight police it's best to do so in court....

However, at this moment people who are deadset against police want them defunded or abolish. I just read a story where in Oak Park, Illinois - another socialist people's republic in the Chicago area - the mayor of that city had his home targeted by anti-police activists.

There are people out there who think what's wrong with our society is law enforcement personnel, and they're bold enough to not only fight police they're bold enough to go after those who won't defund or abolish police.

Black Trump supporter killed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

[VIDEO] Yes. the life of Rastafarian Bernell Trammell mattered! He was murdered in July 23, 2020 hours after he gave a video interview regarding his support for President Donald Trump according to Heavy.com.

Trammell, 60, was gunned down on July 23 near the very spot where he gave a video interview a few hours before explaining why he supported Trump. Milwaukee police are seeking what they described as “unknown suspects.” The motive is not clear, including whether or not the slaying was tied into Trammell’s political beliefs or Trump support. Some news outlets gave the victim’s name as Bernell Tremmell, but he goes by Trammell on social media.

Kevan Penvose wrote on Facebook that Trammell “was a man with whom I hardly ever agreed about anything he wrote on his signs, but also, as a Rasta street preacher, he was one of the people that make my neighborhood so uniquely wonderful. Around 12:30 this afternoon I heard gunshots nearby as I was working at my dining room table. Soon after, I was reading reports on social media of a shooting around the block, at the location of this one-of-a-kind storefront that I’ve walked by a million times… Peace and light, Ras Bernell.”

Johnny Schaeffer, 45, knew Trammell for almost his entire life because his mother once dated him, and they stayed in touch over the years. “I’m devastated,” he told Heavy in a phone interview.

“I think that he was definitely misjudged,” Schaeffer said. “He had his views, you know. People were sometimes surprised not only by his thoughts but how he said it. He was bold, a big, taller man, and when he talked, people listened.”

In the above video Tim Pool discusses his death for just about 25 minutes. I hope there will be updates.

I see a statement from Milwaukee radio personality Mark Belling - at one point he was a substitute host for Rush Limbaugh - discussing this case. Trammell was said to have had issues with the law at various points in his life, even a restraining order filed against him. And as Pool and others have indicated we hope this isn't a politically motivated crime.

He has the right to express himself. And this website mentioned in the above article I excerpted The God Degree needed to find out his story, which I encourage you all to check this out. Everyone has a story and it would be a shame that someone out there couldn't tolerate his story. Considering the times we're in free expression has become a dangerous thing.

h/t Gateway Pundit 

Is a college degree truly necessary?

Glenn Reynolds who writes the Instapundit blog did a column about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker...

Yeah yeah I know he's a Republican who cares...

Anyway if we know nothing about the backgrounds of US Governor's one thing Reynolds brought out was that Gov. Walker never finished college. In my mind this would be unfathomable because I would think anyone seeking high office had as least a bachelor's degree.

So Reynolds surmises that well if Walker chooses to run for President and wins he could break the idea that you need an "Ivy League" education to run for our nation's highest office. The main idea however is that bachelor's degree is supposed to be a "leg up".

To which I've started to come to a few conclusions in recent years. I see that one tag line for the Chicago Public Schools is that all students will be 100% college ready and college bound (found on their FB page). It's a laudable goal, but is it realistic?

I was stuck with this idea that everyone should go to college, but then I realized...should they? Everyone isn't meant for college and that doesn't mean they won't be a state governor, President or even successful in life.

I've started to conclude that college is used as an entitlement now. It's more expected than it was of previous generations to the point where it's a ticket to another high school diploma. At that for another high school diploma many students spend a lot of money or go into debt. Many may choose not to take is seriously and finish but don't do as well for the money they spend.

My point is if a bachelor's is something you're looking to achieve you have to want it. That means you do what you need to do to pay for it in addition to studying not only your field. That also means you have to study a variety of other subjects that have little to do with your field.

It's only YOUR expectation of what you hope to do with a degree. If going to college isn't the path that's for you then hopefully you can find another path that makes you happy. A college degree should never make or break your life or livelihood.

VIDEO: What's going on in Milwaukee?

[VIDEO] So what's going on in Milwaukee? Well this is a brief intro to a larger project I'm sure, but here's a description:

While Chicago often captures the nation's eye, Milwaukee, its neighbor to the north, faces an epidemic of violence, corruption, cronyism and injustice of its own.

As with Chicago, those bearing the brunt of this epidemic are in the urban inner-city communities. And like Chicago, whose Mayor Rahm Emanuel has played monopoly with the homes and fortunes of these communities, Milwaukee's Mayor Barrett seems to have abandoned the black communities of his city.

Yet a silver lining that ought to send chills down Emanuel and Barrett's spines is emerging — those digging out from the trenches of corruption are rejecting decades of failed "mis-leadership."

Above video is from Rebel Pundit and apparently they've been keeping track of what's going on in Milwaukee.

I have always thought of Milwaukee as a little Chicago. Both cities are on Lake Michigan almost 92 miles apart. Milwaukee doesn't have everything Chicago has, and granted if you have different big cities not all cities will have the same things.

AP: Tommy Thompson's son apologizes for Obama comments

[VIDEO] I know there's a constituency that continues to believe that Obama wasn't born in this nation. That he wasn't born in Hawaii that he was born overseas to a non US citizen father. And in a Senate campaign in the state of Wisconsin it was brought up at a campaign event:

The son of U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson was caught on video suggesting voters this fall should send President Barack Obama back "to Kenya," but later apologized through the campaign.

Jason Thompson, the son of the former governor, made the comments Sunday during a brunch hosted by the Kenosha County Republican Party.

"We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago — or Kenya," said Jason Thompson, an attorney at a large Milwaukee law firm.

The comment drew laughs from the crowd, with one woman jokingly adding, "We are taking donations for that Kenya trip."

The video was taken by a Democratic Party operative and posted at BuzzFeed Politics Sunday.

President Obama's father was Kenyan, but Obama was born in Hawaii.

That speech was depicted in the video above.

BTW, this is already a tough election. Mentioning these controversies that have come up since Obama became President distracts from what I believe should be the main issues of this election. Those main issues being the economy, we shouldn't continue to debate whether he was born here and we shouldn't be talking about sending him back to Kenya. We do need to talk about this economy which is very important to me in this election.

This is already a tough election for me and like 2008 it might be until the very last minute who I will vote for. At least Romney hasn't made such comments or at least anyone in his campaign. Also I don't have to worry about voting in Wisconsin for a US Senate candidate

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Republican Party

Thanks to Marathon Pundit for observing this event

On this day in 1854, a group of former Whigs met in a Ripon, Wisconsin church to found Republican Party. Illinois Democratic Senator Stephen Douglas' Kansas-Nebraska bill, which would open up western territories to slavery, inspired the Wisconsinites to act.

The party we know as the Democratic party starting during the Presidency of Andrew Jackson who served between 1829-1837.

The two major parties wikis

• Republican
• Democratic

Judge blocks contentious Wisconsin union law - Chicago Breaking News

Judge blocks contentious Wisconsin union law - Chicago Breaking News

A Wisconsin judge has blocked the state's new and contentious collective bargaining law from taking effect, raising the possibility that the Legislature may have to vote again to pass the bill.

Lawmakers had passed Gov. Scott Walker's measure last week, breaking a three-week stalemate caused by 14 Senate Democrats fleeing to Illinois. Demonstrations against the measure, which would strip most public workers of nearly all their collective bargaining rights, grew as large as 85,000 people.

Dane County District Judge Maryann Sumi granted the temporary restraining order today in response to a lawsuit filed by the local Democratic district attorney alleging that Republican lawmakers violated the state's open meetings law by hastily convening a special committee before the Senate passed the bill.

Sumi said her ruling would not prevent the Legislature from reconvening the committee with proper notice and passing the bill again.

I suppose Wisconsin will be in for more drama, though perhaps not as much as had existed last month.

Ward Room - Culture Wars: Wisconsin vs. Illinois

Ward Room - a blog run by Chicago's NBC affiliate - takes a look at the difference between the political cultures of Wisconsin & Illinois:

So how can two neighboring states have such wildly different political cultures? It’s simple. Wisconsin was settled by revolutionaries. Illinois was settled by people trying to make a buck.

Wisconsin is renowned for its German culture, but it’s important to understand the type of Germans that settled there. The first German settlers were fleeing from the Revolution of 1848, which attempted to establish a republic with free speech, trial by jury and freedom of the press. After it failed, the rebels needed a place to hide. They chose Wisconsin. As a result, Wisconsin became an innovator in progressive reforms: the “Wisconsin Idea” championed public education and workers’ compensation. Wisconsin was the first state with a public radio station, the first state with a presidential primary, and it abolished the death penalty in 1853.

Chicago, on the other hand, was settled by people looking to make a killing in the fur trade, or in real estate. Our very first mayor, William Ogden, arrived here from New York to sell some land that belonged to his brother-in-law. From then, Chicago attracted men who were trying to Make It Big, from Cyrus McCormick to Al Capone. With all that money flowing, the politicians had their hands out, too. “Good government,” a cherished tradition in Wisconsin, was a dirty term in Illinois, because it interrupted the orderly flow of cash between business and politics. Illinois politics was never about advancing ideals. It was about getting jobs and contracts for your friends, family members and campaign contributors.

While Wisconsin’s revolutionary instincts have usually been directed toward progressive reforms, they’ve also advanced conservative causes, if the political winds are blowing in that direction. We saw that with Sen. Joe McCarthy. We’re seeing it again with Gov. Scott Walker. That’s why Madison is in chaos, and Springfield is still a place where the House Speaker’s son-in-law gets a six-figure job as a lobbyist for a state agency.

OK there ya have it Illinois is about the almight dollar. Well if that makes sense, alas, many Illinois politicians haven't exactly shown that money doesn't matter to them. :(
