Competition made America great
If the Brewers can compete why can’t our schools? State school boss Jill Underly in her annual State of Education address last week asked Wisconsin voters to cough up more tax dollars and while we’re at it, stamp out competition to the government school monopoly. Because (the part she didn’t say), public schools can’t compete.…

Nothing but nuisance today
How dare anyone complain! Harassment and intimidation are how social justice warriors (with the tacit permission of the local Democrat(ic) and Progressive Dane political parties) defunded school resource police officers. We’re waiting for the Democrats’ denunciation of the Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone. Former alder Brenda Konkel, until recently co-chair of Progressive Dane, is currently executive…

County to fund Corey Ruiz memorial?
Simply unbelievable! That didn’t take long. The peaceful bliss created by a news-free Maine vacation has evaporated like the latest Iran peace plan. Dane County WI supervisors are considering tapping the taxpayer for $25,000 to design and erect a Corey Ruiz memorial on Willy Street. A memorial to a career criminal! In a city where…

We went to Maine
A real palate cleansing! Took a much needed news break these last five days in the state of Maine, which is a lot like northern Wisconsin but with lobster. Our homey, cedar-shingled inn on the southern tip of the island that hosts Acadia National Park had no CNN, Fox, or PBS — no TV…

Woke progressivism is a public nuisance
How much more can Madison stand?! How fitting is it that Brenda Konkel’s Social Justice Center is being called a public nuisance! Home to congeries of dependency enabling non-profits, many of them taxpayer subsidized, the SJC was the command center for the hostile takeover of city streets to valorize the Exceptional Corey Ruiz, a career…

Social justice warriors are better organized …
… and funded with your tax dollars! Maybe you don’t do politics. You vote for the person, not the party — when you do vote. You can’t understand why you’re being taxed out of your home; why you don’t go on State Street after dark any more, why your kids report the day’s chaos in…

After 9/11
The urge to blame America and stop it from responding began immediately.
In the years after 9/11, blaming America for the activities of Islamic terrorists became a mania among left-tilting scribblers the world over. When they couldn’t reasonably attach culpability to America—because the attack happened in France or Spain, which consistently oppose U.S. interventions—the enlightened blamed America’s stand-in, Israel. Somehow the jihadists always lacked agency. …
The war on terror launched in the days afterward involved innumerable blunders and still invites derision from the globe’s expert class. But a quarter-century later, the country hasn’t sustained another strike of similar proportions, and the terror networks that once produced fighters by the thousand have had their leaders killed, their money frozen and their recruits severely pruned.
America wouldn’t, and couldn’t, consent to live with the madmen. — Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal
Political stupidity
Another election season is upon us. … One party is hoisting monuments to a fading 80-year-old president who hasn’t done much except get America stuck in another Middle East war while attacking the nice Canadians to our north with irrational tariffs and weird hockey memes. The other is making sweeping promises to do something about the “cost-of-living crisis” through massive government spending and price caps with scant reflection on why they didn’t address the high cost of living just a few short years ago when they had control of government. — John Halpin, “The emptiness of contemporary politics”
