That headline would be just as correct but more fair!
Instead, the headline in our favorite Madison morning daily newspaper reads:
‘Ron Johnson campaign paid $20,000 to law firm of attorney
tied to Donald Trump’s effort to overturn 2020 election’
The State Journal picked up on the story from NBC News, which reported that Ron Johnson paid $20,000 to former Dane County Circuit Judge Jim Troupis to prepare for the possibility of a contested, cliffhanger election in purple, battleground Wisconsin.
The judge, a personal friend of mine, helped shepherd former state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser through an election challenge in the infamous missing Brookfield vote caper. Jim Troupis is a nationally known expert on legislative districting and election recounts. Tellingly, NBC puts the word “recount” into snotty quotation marks, trying to infer some back channel payoff.
What got NBC News all hard and randy is that Judge Troupis represented Trump in his state election challenge and apparently transmitted Wisconsin’s contingent, alternate slate of Trump electors to the senator’s office, intended for eventual delivery to the vice president, which was never completed. At least the Wisconsin State Journal attempted to balance its story, somewhat. It reports, way down in the story, that Mandela Barnes is also buying recount insurance:
Federal campaign reports show the Barnes campaign has paid the Elias Law Group, led by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, around $90,000 in the past year. Elias brings his own baggage, having been accused of “rigging the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries to thwart Bernie Sanders and facilitating a deluge of big money into politics,” The New York Times reported in 2018.
The sleaze goes deeper than that. Marc Elias is the bag man between Hillary Clinton and the infamous, fake Steele dossier — a complete pack of lies that fueled the discredited Trump Russian collusion hoax — the Democrats’ attempt to subvert the 2016 election.
Attorney Jonathan Turley, who testified at the first Senate impeachment trial, writes:
Elias, the former general counsel for the Clinton Campaign and partner at the firm Perkins Coie, lied to conceal the campaign’s funding of the infamous Steele dossier. The Federal Elections Commission found that Clinton campaign and DNC payments to Fusion GPS were funneled through Perkins Coie and Elias. As the campaign denied funding the dossier, these payments were concealed as “legal advice and services.”
On 03-29-2022, the FEC fined the Clinton campaign $8,000 and the DNC $105,000 for their lies — all facilitated by Elias. His latest client is the crime organization Black Lives Matter. He is trying to defend BLM’s “questionable finances,” as the New York Post puts it in their own snotty quotes.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Marc Elias just reeks. That Mandela Barnes would hire this dirty trickster proves he is just another Deep State, on-the-make Hillary Clinton (but without the body count). And NBC News is a just a whore.

In the next three weeks, we can expect even more whoring by the media of the sort described above (NBC just happens to be the sleaziest whore of them all) not that anyone should be surprised. Barnes is so far underwater even Jacques Cousteau couldn’t find him, and for good reason. Video could surface of him giving Putin a blowjob and the media wouldn’t mention it. As Democrats feel the reins of powers slipping through their fingers, they’ll pull out all the stops; let’s hope Republicans will be willing to best them at their own game.

Wow, the more I know about Mandela Barns the more I don’t like him or his character, the people he associates with in order to make sure he gets elected and others that are close to him.
I do want to make one comment that is related but is not exactly on this topic.
We all know what Ron Johnson stands for and has accomplished both in his personal life and his public life.
What we don’t know is other than releasing dangerous felons into our communities, keeping our school systems overpriced without producing children who can read or write and do math at grade level, among other things, what does Mandela Barns and Tony Evers stand for? Tony says he has plans. What plans does he have?
Over the last several days I have noticed Tony Evers has stated that he has plans to fix the economy and the environment and other things in the State of Wisconsin. Well if he has such plans doesn’t he owe the people of the State of Wisconsin an idea of what those plans are and how he is going to implement them? I would think that as his Lt. Governor, Mandela Barns has an obligation to do the same. Not just in general on what they plan to do but specifically what they plan to do?
Why did Tony wait until he was running for re-election until saying that he had these plans? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to come out with these plans when he was first running for office or shortly thereafter? How has Mandela Barns helped implement those plans? Shouldn’t they both been working on fixing the problems in our state since they took office?
Tony Evers, Mandela Barns; too little, too late.

Exactly, and that is why we should all vote for Barnes.

Catch and release, just like fish. Throw the small fry who got caught back in the water again and again so that they grow larger and larger. Then catch them when they are adults so that you can fry them.
Most of the criminals being caught today are from the same justice system mindset. Catch and release them over and over again until they become the Darrell Brooks of the world and then wonder why the justice system does not work.

I wonder where the four juveniles caught for burglary and car theft on Madison’s west side will be in ten years? I still remember the film of the women I think was in the Baltimore riots and looting that grabbed her son and started hitting him telling him to go home and she raised him better than what he was doing.
Catch and release is being played out today in Waukesha.

There’s a reddit thread on that. One commentator with knowledge of the situation says child protective services can’t do anything. Another makes the distinction they are not pro-choice, they are pro-abortion. I have the same sentiment.
Change has to somehow come from within that “community”. “Racial /restorative justice” is not doing shit and incarceration isn’t doing much either.

We should no longer expect different from the WSJ. Once a fairly even-handed and independent paper, they are now becoming the Cap Times Lite. Accordingly, they will endorse any candidate and editorialize any news story that might help them win favorship with the leftist readership they are desperately trying to capture. Screw journalistic integrity, we need to sell papers.
