How did Mike Pence become a RINO?
Gerard Baker in the Wall Street Journal
 :
“The stolen-election theory carries many of the requisite concoctions of all fabricated conspiracies. But none are as implausible as the premise that the people who stopped Mr. Trump from claiming his rightful re-election were all sinister figures conspiring to hand the reins of power to the illegitimate Joe Biden.
“Because it hasn’t been Adam Schiff and his comrades who have made the most effective case against Donald Trump. It has been Mr. Trump’s own, handpicked people. Think about the list of conspirators that you would have to conclude had somehow become late-convert enemies of Mr. Trump (and American democracy) to believe the former President’s story.
“Mike Pence, impeccable servant of the Republican Party, loyal (crueler observers might say servile) supporter of the former President, who sometime between Nov. 3 and Jan. 6 became a notorious RINO and traitor.
“William Barr, perhaps the most effective defender of Mr. Trump through the mostly manufactured controversies of his term, but who somehow became a double agent for Mr. Biden after the election.
“Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, who stood down Stacey Abrams’s race-baiting charges of a stolen election himself and proved himself a strong conservative in office but somehow plotted with fellow Republicans in the state to confirm a fraudulent victory for his political opponents.”
Get your shine box
Tom Nichols in The Atlantic Daily:
“The January 6 committee, however, deserves a great deal of credit for illuminating the dangerous mediocrities on whom Trump relied for his mischief — the men and women who were certain that their moment had finally arrived. These people — call them the Third String —t hought that they were finally going to The Show, and they were going to burn the Constitution if that’s what it took to stay there.
“Consider, for example, Jeffrey Bossert Clark, a minor Justice Department official who sought to oust his own boss and get Trump to make him the attorney general, after which Clark would try to overturn the election results. … Clark got his comeuppance in a meeting in the Oval Office when Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue warned Trump that any such appointment would lead to mass resignations, and told Clark: “You’re an environmental lawyer. How about you go back to your office, and we’ll call you when there’s an oil spill.”
And then there’s John Eastman …

First, the movie doesn’t show what it says it shows.
• Cellphone tracking isn’t precise enough to distinguish between liberal activists stuffing drop boxes, and store owners, police officers, delivery men and others who have perfectly legitimate reasons to be within a few yards of the same drop box every day.
• In all five battleground states D’Souza considers, it is perfectly legal for third parties to drop off ballots for others, with varying degrees of lenience. …
• Even if every cellphone dot represented a left-wing organizer illegally dropping off another person’s ballot, that still wouldn’t make the ballot invalid. A legal ballot can be illegally delivered, although the guy who delivered it might be in trouble. — (More here.)
Education
Blaska Policy Werkes 
While I want Blaska to be correct, there is an alternative view. Namely, that Evers’ betrayal of his “principles” will not be a recurring media theme and that his dishonest ownership of the tax cuts will be a net gain at the polls. He will have all the $ he needs to reach low-information swing voters who have determined every gubernatorial election in recent decades. GOP strategists will need all the videos and sound bits they can find to send the message on who really authored the budget.

We who are conservatives all know that Tony is an idiot who as stuperindentendit of public edumencation couldn’t educate many of our children to be proficient at math, reading, and writing at grade level.
The libs on the other hand do not think, as that would be too hard, and wonder why Tony was such
an abysmal failure at running the state of Wisconsin school systems.
The old saying of, Stupid is as Stupid does, aptly applies to Tony and those who voted for him.

RE: “Stupid is as Stupid does” Sadly, Bill, another old saying is, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” applies as well. Unless qualified conservatives step up, Ol’ Meek-N-Weak is likely to ride more coat-tails to another Democrat stupid prize…

Has Madison ever had a worse gov/mayor combo than pencil-neck and the Little Debbie Snack Cakes eating machine?
Throw in the common senseless council, anti-education school board, and we comprehend a poisonous bitter brew of woke guaranteed to gradually putrefy all it touches.
Recent polls indicate that a rapidly increasing number of citizens regardless of party affiliation are more concerned and frightened of radical woke proglibots than covid-19.

They elected these fools and were smug about it, to boot. They honestly didn’t know what they were voting for & how sick the leftist agenda is?
I’d like to think that they’ll pay better attention when they vote next time, but I’m not holding my breath. Some of these people are either too arrogant, too stupid, or lack self awareness to admit that they were wrong.

Perhaps, but replaced by whom? There’s no way this city will vote for a moderate or anyone who can think logically.
People with good sense have either left the city, are planning to leave, or realize that their vote will be canceled by the leftists in this city.

You know I long for the days of Paul Soglin and Dave Cieslewicz who were actually Mayors of Madison. They both loved this city and even though I disagreed with their liberal thinking I still thought of them as good people. Can’t say the same about our current mayor. I also remember Tony Earl and Jim Doyle who were democrat governors of Wisconsin. Again, I disagreed with their liberal thinking but I thought of them as good people. Can’t say the same about our current Governor Evers.
The sad thing is that I can’t say the same about our current President Biden who is by all measures, a shell of a man who has memory care issues. I used to work in a retirement community and I saw, on a daily basis, the same kind of lapses of intellect that he has displayed. Some of those people I served were professors here at the University of Wisconsin. Some of the biggest names in Madison were also people that I served. It was a great pleasure to serve those people in their final days and hours. I prayed to God to welcome them with open arms when they came before Him.
President Joe Biden is clearly not in charge of this country. He is, in my opinion, a basket case. He is just a figure head controlled by other people serving them in their interests.
Sad, so sad; what this once great country has devolved to be.
And here I wanted to leave my child a better place than I found it when I was young.
America, America, my country tis of thee. I will forever love you for the land of the brave and the home of the free.
In GOD’s Great Name, I pray to thee to ever make America Free!

No one that has entered the race has a chance to beat Tony Evers and his campaign funding machine as well as his third party vote gathering machines. About the only person with some name recognition, the personality, connections and charisma is Sean Duffy. Does he want to put his hat back into the Thunderdome? The republicans need to get moving with one good candidate from the start and have that person put their hat in the ring to start getting campaign funds or Ole Whispers will quietly win again.

It’s still an utter mystery to me how this miserable old scarecrow beat Scott Walker. I sincerely hope Republicans in WI get their act together (for once) and send Evers to the rest home along with his identical twin Joe so the two of them can overdose on Prevagen while Joe regales Tony with tales of his epic bouts with Corn Pop.
