Another stabbing at Madison’s nuisance social justice center
A Safety Hazard! There is a geographic locus for Madison’s dysfunction: 1202 Williamson Street, Madison WI — the address of Brenda Konkel’s social justice center. It is a nest of 15 largely taxpayer-funded social service agencies and far-left political grievance mongers. That’s where apologists for the independent police monitor gather to accuse the mayor, alders, police,…

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? The young alder has taken on the social justice warriors who close down city streets seemingly at will and venerate criminals like Corey Ruiz as martyrs to…

Down with the rabble!
A little nobless oblige, s’il vous plaît! This is supposed to be the year of the outsider. Maine Democrats ditched the oyster farmer for a logger. Rebecca Cooke is the short-order waitress (and high-paid political consultant) running against Derrick Van Orden in western Wisconsin. A.O.C. was a bartender. The formula is to fake authenticity in…

Wisconsin needed that!
Politics? Schmolitics! Mighty Casey has hit a line drive up the middle! We don’t mind living vicariously as long as our teams win and win they most certainly did over that just concluded, only-in-Wisconsin beautiful fall weekend of October 3-4. First, the Wisconsin men’s football Badgers looked like Barry Alvarez was prowling the sidelines Saturday…

Zohran Mamdani’s moral obscenity
“Hamas didn’t just kill its victims in pursuit of a strategic objective. It tormented and slaughtered them like an army of serial killers who delight in the suffering of their victims. Corpses of Israeli women were described by one coroner as “shot in the crotch, intimate parts, vagina, or were shot in the breast.” Others appeared to have been raped so violently that their pelvises were broken. Parents were killed in front of their children; children were murdered in their beds. …
“It is obscene because, whatever else you may think of the war in Gaza, on the eve of Oct. 7 the border of Israel and Gaza was governed by a cease-fire. It was Hamas that chose to kick off the violence, just as the Japanese did in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. …
“It is obscene because Hamas’s intentions toward Israel really are genocidal. ….
“Finally, it is obscene because Mamdani is the mayor for about one million Jewish New Yorkers … who deserve better on a day of grief than to be offered the equivalent of an “All Lives Matter” homily.” —Bret Stephens, NY Times
She had it coming?
After the President called Marjorie Taylor Greene a “traitor,” of the torrent of threats that followed, one stood out. It was aimed at her son.
Ms. Greene reached out to Mr. Trump, hoping for compassion from a president she had stood by for years. She forwarded copies of the threats to him, hoping that seeing the threats against her family would be enough to tone down the attacks.
She got a five-word reply from President Trump: “Your fault, you deserve it.” — New York Times
“Could this be a wave that takes the House, or a tsunami that takes the Senate, or an asteroid that just cleans out the party?” asked Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump appointee. “We will see, but the polling and the feelings — nothing is good right now.” — Wall Street Journal 10-10-26
