So much for tolerance
From National Review:
Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines testified before Congress on Tuesday about her frightening experience at San Francisco State University last month, when transgender-rights activists held her against her will for three hours and demanded a ransom for her release.
The incident occurred when Gaines visited SFSU on April 6 at the invitation of Turning Point USA and the Leadership Institute to speak about the right of women to compete on a level playing field. She testified that the school administration knew she as coming and she was told she would meet with campus police to discuss a security plan ahead of her talk. But then the campus police never showed up.
Gaines, who tied for fifth with transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-meter NCAA championship last year, gave her speech as protesters outside the room chanted, “We fight back.”
It is to laugh
“The ‘Chaos’ at the border is by design”
“As a presidential candidate in 2020, Biden criticized Trump for “drastically” restricting access to asylum. Now he’s doing the very same thing.”

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.”
Education
Blaska Policy Werkes 
two expenditures:
1. build boat landings to each Wisconsin lake over 100 acres so that the boating public could access THEIR waters. Currently, citizens are denied access on at least 800 lakes which we ALL own.
2. Remove discrimination from the Sr. Pharmacy Benefit program that now excludes many Sr’s by income levels. Too many heart medicines are outrageous in price. We are not equal before this state law. Remove Discrimination and financial bigotry.

I would go down to 40 acres for public boat landings.

I’ve never been good at math, so I’ll let someone else come up with the exact sum. How much of the $2.6 billion would each WI resident 18 years or older get in the form of a tax rebate?

I’ll tell you what to do: Incentivize those who are willing to work by giving the money to them. Those who are not working but are able to work should not see a penny of the surplus. This State should have a declaration of truth that those who work hard should be the ones who benefit when times are good.
In olden times, when the sowers would sow and the reapers would reap, when the grape growers would plant, the laborers would prune, the harvesters would harvest, the grape crushers would crush the grapes, the fermentors would ferment the wine and then and only then it would be drank by those who did the work to make all of that happen.
I work many long hours with my hands to make a living. On top of that I volunteer my time to worthy causes. Sucks to see so many just sitting there, who are able to work yet get a living on the government dollar when I have to work. Been working since I was a kid and am now in my 60’s. Yet, I feel better off than I would if I was just sucking off the government tit.
At least I am a MAN.
