We hear property on Baffin Island is going cheap. We like the sound of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It’s north of Hurley, somewhere. Eh?
BTW: Congratulations to Uncle Joe and “Camel-a.” Meet Mitch McConnell.

Delve into our
Wisconsin pioneer history!
Sudeten German Weekend
Saturday-Sunday, September 24 & 25, 2022
the Island Church Foundation, Inc. will hold a Sudeten German Weekend which will provide an in-depth look at the history of a people that migrated twice, first from Germany to Bohemia, and then to Wisconsin. Key settlement areas of these Sudeten German were Jefferson, Dodge and Dane counties, Wisconsin.
The Sudeten German Weekend will focus on the earliest settlement area, which is in the Town of Waterloo, Jefferson County, Wisconsin. You will learn how poor Germans from Northeast Bohemia in the modern-day Czech Republic traveled thousands of miles from their long-time homes to the New World and settled on marginal farmland. You will tour two original pioneer structures, St. Wenceslaus Church (the so-called “Island Church”) and the log home of Vincent Faultersack.

‘Roe v. Wade was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.’
Excerpts from Justice Alito’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Roe found that the Constitution implicitly conferred a right to obtain an abortion, but it failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent.
It relied on an erroneous historical narrative; it devoted great attention to and presumably relied on matters that have no bearing on the ‘meaning of the Constitution; it disregarded the fundamental difference between the precedents on which it relied and the question before the Court; it concocted an elaborate set of rules, with different restrictions for each trimester of pregnancy, but it did not explain how this veritable code could be teased out of anything in the Constitution, the history of abortion laws, prior precedent, or any other cited source; and its most important rule (that States cannot protect fetal life prior to “viability”) was never raised by any party and has never been plausibly explained.
Overuling precedent
Some of our most important constitutional decisions have overruled prior precedents. … In Brown. v. Board of Education, the Court repudiated the “separate but equal” doctrine, which had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities. In so doing, the Court overruled the infamous decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537 (1896), along with six other Supreme Court precedents that had applied the separate-but-equal rule.
Roe legislated from the bench
[Roe’s] elaborate [trimester] scheme was the Court’s own brainchild. Neither party advocated the trimester framework; nor did either party or any amicus argue that “viability” should ‘mark the point at which the scope of the abortion right and a State’s regulatory authority should be substantially transformed. … This scheme resemble[d] the work of a legislature. …
Roe certainly did not succeed in ending division on the issue of abortion. On the contrary, Roe “inflamed” a national issue that has remained bitterly divisive for the past half-century. … Indeed, in this case, 26 states expressly ask us to overrule Roe and Casey and return the issue of abortion to the people and their elected representatives.

Mr. McConnell..meet Mr. Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. Both from Georgia and both in runoffs for the Senate. Remember Georgia? Don’t forget the two Independents that caucus with the Dems. Could be an interesting gathering.

Dave, Trump hasn’t lost, yet at least. He’ll be President until January 2021 and probably afterwards. Please stop acting like Biden has won, he certainly has not.

Richie, you’re an idiot or maybe just too full of the ol’ malarkey if you think Biden can even string together a coherent sentence let alone one that makes sense while he tries to remember he’s not in the Senate. And V.P. Brown Sugar will probably be doing the horizontal mambo with some assassin for hire. It’s a tough job being bitchier than Hillary. But I’m sure she’ll do her best to help rip the morale and economy apart in this country to bring Enslavement & Tyranny for All. Hey, will Hunter be puffin’ away on his pipe at the inauguration ceremonies. I hope he at least puts some pants on. And does he get to keep his dad’s cut of the foreign influence payroll now?
