Gaslighting October 7
Woke progressives have an anti-semitic problem. Three years after the Palestinian terrorists butchered 1,200 noncombatants, including little babies, and took 251 hostages — many of whom were tortured and died in captivity — what is the reaction on the Woke Left? “Democrats Have a Bill Maher Problem,” declares The Nation magazine, employer of our own…

Does Madison need more flame throwers?
The police monitor is a battle for Madison’s soul. Can you appreciate the courage required for Alder Will Ochowicz to propose firing Madison’s interim police monitor, Aeiramique Glass?
