Madison LaFollette high school teacher Nate Hataj discusses the refusal of the MMSD to consider his religious objection to the vaccine mandate. (Listen here.)
Why Glenn Youngkin won: “How school closures made me question my progressive politics; I’ve never felt more alienated from the liberal Democratic circles I usually call home.” — at Politico.
What Jim Crow?: “Dating back to 1996, black voter turnout has increased in five out of six presidential elections,” Senator Pat Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania, writes in The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Ironically, the biggest gaps in turnout between black and white voters are in primarily Democratic-controlled states with supposedly liberal election laws, like Massachusetts, Oregon and Colorado.”
The Left is never satisified: “I think I’ve hit on Pres. Joe Biden’s fundamental problem: he was never a mayor. When you’ve been a mayor of a liberal city you learn one thing right out of the gate: the left is never, ever satisfied. The left lives to be disgruntled. They cannot govern because being outside shouting at the powers that be is in their DNA. They would much rather “speak truth to power” than to have it themselves.” — Dave Cieslewicz
The Gallup poll records “a dramatic shift over the course of 2021, from a 9-percentage-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter to a rare 5-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter.” It’s the largest swing since Gallup started asking the question in 1991.

The incredible shrinking
Uncle Joe
New poll numbers from Gallup puts Biden’s approval at just 40% with 56% disapproving — the lowest yet.“President Biden’s Georgia speech is a break point. He thought he was merely appealing to his base. He might have united the rest of the country against him. … The over-the-top language of the speech made him seem more emotional, less competent. … They have no idea how they sound to the non-left, so they have no idea when they are damaging themselves.
“But this week in Georgia Mr. Biden damaged himself. And strengthened, and may even have taken a step in unifying, the non-Democrats who are among their countrymen, and who are in fact the majority of them.” — Peggy Noonan.
“I think millions of Americans have become very demoralized — they’re asking, what do the Democrats stand for? Clearly, the current strategy is failing and we need a major course correction.” — Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“It seems like the Democrats can’t get out of their own way.” — U.S. Rep Tim Ryan, D-Ohio.
Others say that as President, Mr. Biden has fallen out of step with many voters by focusing on issues like climate change and voting rights. — New York Times.

What we are “enabling, encouraging and supporting?” Maybe you Goobers On Parade folks should look at Brandtjen issuing supoenas for ballots, machines, records of voters in Wis. because she is pumped up after her all expense paid trip to Arizona. But; of course, it’s ONLY for Brown Co. And Milw. Co. The pure white rest of the state must have been 100% legal in every way. The repubs in Wis have jumped the shark and are following the Kraken road to ruin. Own it.

You are enabling, encouraging and supporting a two-tiered system where rich and/or politically connected people get private security details to protect them, while ordinary working people are on their own against dangerous gangs and Antifa thugs.

Cori Bush’s ignorance and lack of intelligence is only eclipsed by the voters who elected her. And by the big-time dumbness/confusion of our local Richard, (May-I-Calls-Ya-Dick), who cannot stay on topic even when callin’ 9-1-1…

You are the one talking about ignorance and lack of intelligence. Maybe Brandtjen, the head of the election commission, should have voiced her concerns before the election. Not 9 months later. More grandstanding BS from some two-bit official. Gee; I can spell Official correctly; not like trump’s card he is conning people to buy.

Ah yes, guns to protect me but not for thee! Cori Bush is a typical liberal/marxist idiot! She introduced and co-sponsored HR 1446 – Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021 which is a gun control act that requires a federal firearms licensee to wait 10 business days for a completed background check before transferring a firearm to an unlicensed individual.
So let me as Cori some questions directly since she thinks she is above the law and all the rest of us are below it.
Cori, you also said in an interview that “This Black woman who puts her life on the line. They don’t care that I could be taken out of here. They actually probably are OK with that, but this is the thing: I won’t let them get that off. You can’t get that off. I’m going to make sure I have security because I know I have had attempts on my life and I have too much work to do. There are too many people that need help right now for me to allow that.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cori-bush-defund-the-police-private-security-response/
Well how about the Black Woman Police Officers who put their lives on the line every day so that you and I can live as free Americans? But no, you would want to defund them as well as all Police.
What about the Black Woman who is being beaten by her abusive boyfriend? Does she deserve the right to call the Police to defend her? Why would you take that away from her?
According to Hey Jackass Chicago, https://heyjackass.com/, there have been some 485 murders in the city of Chicago so far this year. 110 of those murders happened in the month of July alone. So far this year 83.3% of the victims were Black People. But surprisingly only 4 deaths were caused by Police Officers. So why all the fuss and feathers over the Police?
Do you privately pay for your security detail or do we the taxpayers pay for it?
What license’s do they have in order to carry weapons in Washington D.C.?
Do they carry those weapons in the House of Representatives chambers? Are they licensed to do so?
The truth be told, it is the culture not the color that makes the difference. That is the truth. How you were raised makes all the difference in the world as to what kind of person you grow up to be. What values you hold dear to your heart. What kind of life style you take part in.
That is what makes the difference. Character, not color. Character that comes out from the culture you are raised in. The full measure of anyone of us is in our character. Not the color of our skin.
My Mom and Dad raised me to believe that ALL Life was a gift from GOD! That to disrespect a person based on the color of their skin would be to disrespect ALMIGHTY GOD!
To disrespect GOD would put someones soul in danger of burning in Hell forever. I don’t want to got to Hell. I don’t want to burn in Hell forever so I don’t disrespect GOD by disrespecting my fellow man or woman based on the color of their skin.
We Americans, need to change the current culture of marxist ideology to one that reflects the true American ideology that is embodied in our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights and our Constitution.
As our Declaration of Independence says in part: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”
Cori Bush, in my mind you are a marxist who does not believe in the great principles espoused in our Declaration of Independence.
That is the way I see it.

Think about it; Cori Bush’s statement sums up the defund police motives quite nicely.
1) Bush knows, and we all know, that it’s a rare occurrence, very rare indeed, that the police can actually protect you at the moment that you actually need protecting; therefore, Bush feels she needs armed security for protection because the police cannot give her the instant gratification she feels she needs. You cannot depend on the police for immediate protection, period! It’s up to each individual to provide needed security for themself, their families, and their businesses.
2) Overall, the police are there to put together the evidentiary pieces after a crime already happens in hope that they’ll be able to catch the criminal.
3) Knowing that 1 & 2 are clearly true then defunding the police can only serve one generalized purpose in any particular police district and that is to allow the criminals to get away with their crime unfettered by the fear of being caught by those annoying police.
The Cori Bush’s of the world are literally enabling and promoting criminal chaos, the more chaos the better so they can push their narrative for massive social “reform” and completely transform the United States into a totalitarian state. It’s the social justice warriors just like Cori Bush’s that are the real problem in the USA, they are literally creating the social chaos that they will use to promote their social “reforms”.

One of the letters to the editor at the WI State Journal begins, “Students of color called for the rock’s removal …” A more accurate phrasing would read, “A tiny fanatical fraction of students of color called for the rock’s removal …” This is true of all the similar preposterous ‘demands’ that purport to make the campus less racist (e.g., removing the names of Porter Butts and Frederic March from the Memorial Union art gallery and theatre). And the more often the spineless administrators at UW-Madison give in to these preposterous demands, the more often they’ll be made.
