Why Mark Pocan, D-Madison, voted against the debt limit deal
“Forget the debt ceiling. The Biden-McCarthy compromise is a big deal because it is a spending compromise. An important provision of the deal is that if, by the end of the year, the House and Senate haven’t passed 12 appropriations bills (the long-forgotten way budgeting is supposed to work), all discretionary spending would become subject to an automatic 1% cut. This is what is known as a “sequester.” A sequester is to Democrats what garlic is to vampires. …
“The truth today is this: The modern Democratic Party — the party of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and the House Squad — won’t cut or slow spending for any existing federal program, ever. Now, Mr. McCarthy’s negotiators have managed to create a wedge against the left’s massive opposition to spending reforms.”

Question of the Day
What ‘Deep State’?
Rachael Rollins, the US attorney for Massachusetts, leaked sensitive Justice Department information to a journalist in an effort to influence a local election, lied to investigators and improperly attended a fundraiser with Jill Biden, according to two critical federal reports released Wednesday. (More here.)
How can anyone take them seriously?
Charles C.W. Cooke asks at National Review.
“Rachel Maddow made a career out of spreading lunatic conspiracy theories on MSNBC, as did Chris Hayes and Nicolle Wallace (who is still, today, rejecting all evidence that contradicts her fever dream). Adam Schiff lied relentlessly from his official perch on the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and is now gearing up to run for the Senate.”

I love this woman and every other person just like her. Candace Owens comes to mind while watching Kim. Strong, articulate, rugged individuals with very good heads on their shoulders. People you want to look up to and emulate. We need more people like them. We as Conservatives set the example of only judging people by two standards and those are:
Competence and Character.
Meanwhile the left will always judge people based on the color of their skin and their social and economic standard.
Some of the finest people, white or black, I have ever met were people who had a well worn Bible close by the kitchen table which they read out of all the time. Many of them were not rich nor were they well educated. But they were some of the finest people I have ever met. They would give you the shirt off their back if needed.
God knows we desperately need more people like Kim to turn this country, which I very much love, around and to turn it away from the “hive mentality” march toward a marxist state which will inevitably reduce all of us, black or white, rich or poor, young or old, male or female, to serfs.

I fully expect Madison to fund (with $$ taken from law enforcement) a museum dedicated to the third-rate “art” now defacing State Street. It’s the Madison way: celebrate descruction, ugliness and hate as long as it stems from the correct end of the political spectrum.

As pushback to “Ravenoaks” [“Ravin’mad”???], OPINIONS are NOT Riot, Destruction, Looting, Graffiti, Beatings, Firebombing, Insurrection! As to your self-labeling as “ignorant or a miscreant”… IGNORANCE is Remediable; steadfast adherence to said state would suggest dogged repudiation of critical thinking. “Miscreant” could be synonymous, P.C.-speak for INEDUCABLE i.e. congenital birth defect [or, in common parlance, “well & truly laundered” shy!te-for-brains].

Yesterday, during a rant against Liberal policies toward minorities, I said, “Your (Liberals’) estimates of their (minorities) ability to obey laws, succeed in school, and be productive Madison citizens, are disgracefully low.” That refers specifically to school age Black children. K through 12, after that, the die is pretty well cast, and many are just resigned to “the heap”. It is the rare individual, indeed, who strives to exceed expectations. Want proof? The next time you have to leave your teenager alone overnight, leave them a note saying: “Mow the lawn, or don’t (we don’t care). Clean the garage, if you want. Try to do some of your homework, if you can. There is food in the fridge, and that video game you wanted – it’s by the TV. Be back late tomorrow”. You know what the results will be. Either have expectations, or don’t bother with a note. Every statistic showing students who can’t read will also reveal a percentage that CAN. Every chart showing the percentage who break the law, shows the percentage who DON’T. All things are POSSIBLE for these children. The path of “low expectations” is all downhill.

Ravin’-Oaks, You have to realize the sludge that readers of this site hafta wade thru on a daily, nay, hourly basis in Madison. Pardon us if you get swept into the same garbage container, but looting, setting fires to buildings while occupied and kickin’ the Bejappers out of a State politician do tend to be irritating. Especially when coupled with sanctimonious tirades disguised as “news” that are shoved in our faces. The mayor, City Council, courts system and County Board border upon criminality in their stances towards felons, be they adult or juvenile. Please don’t be a Richard -ONE is plenty enuff… Just make your statements without the rancor. Otherwise, of course you’ll get pushback. BTW, when ya mention/complain about “lumping”, ask yourself, “Am I projecting here?”

Ravenoaks, a few thoughts and questions:
My experience is that diversity of thought is not well tolerated within the Dem party (a party that has been hijacked by radicals). But by all means, please feel free to convince us otherwise.
Hint: Starting a post off with the “left, left, left . . .God almighty” sounds like you’re trying to shame us, which is something that we as conservatives & libertarians already experience on a regular basis, especially here in Madison. It’s why we feel safe to express ourselves on places like Blaska’s blog. Who are you to tell us how we should think?
This is a CONSERVATIVE blog, so it stands to reason that the people commenting here will be of a CONSERVATIVE bent. If you go to a LIBERAL blog, you will likely see people being critical of Donald Trump and calling out things they don’t like about Republicans. Are you good with that but not this?
We are expressing our frustrations at things like lawlessness and identity politics, corruption (ie using FISA court for political gain wile it goes largely un-reported by the left’s media partners) that the left is, in our view, tolerating and/or embracing.
If you believe the Dems are law and order, please explain why almost every city in chaos is Democratic-led. Don’t think I’ve heard one Democrat call out the thuggery.
Who said we are right on every issue or that we’ll prevail in the next election? Seems like you’re doing some projecting.
Can YOU find good things to say about Donald Trump supporters? Or do YOU lump all of us together?

Seems Ravenoaks missed the point[s] entirely…words mean things, but only if one actually knows and understands them. Borrowing shamelessly from an earlier Blaska post-title of 8/22/2020 & [yours] “…[“bully in the playground”] probed and found mush”. Marx’s definition of “useful idiots” survives.

Is your point that individuals should be treated as individuals rather than generic members of a social group where social justice applies to every member of the set?
If so I agree. Social justice is injustice because it eliminates individual innocence.
