Conspiracy to find a crime!
Doesn’t it look like Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul brought charges against three Trump advocates so he could hold up his head at the WI Democrat convention this weekend in Milwaukee? Avoid all those sloshed delegates in the hotel hospitality rooms demanding their pound of flesh. Why should his counterpart in New York AG Letitia James and district attorneys Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis get all the glory?
Kaul had to get even more creative than those guys because his own Department of Justice had already ruled that that the 10 Republican “fake electors” of 2020 were legal as a silver dollar. Which is why the news media is advised to do as we do at the Werkes and call them “alternate electors.” Kaul lept over that inconvenience to indict Troupis, Chesebro and … some other guy for “conspiracy to commit a crime.” That crime being … well, you figger it out!
“The intent to commit and for the purpose of committing the crime of uttering as genuine a forged writing or object, namely a “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Wisconsin,” knowing it to have been thus falsely made or altered.” — Kaul’s criminal complaint
Falsely made? On 03-15-22 the WI Elections Commission dismissed a complaint against the alternate electors, concluding that the complaint “does not raise a reasonable suspicion that the respondents violated Wisconsin election law.” The GOP electors acted on the date provided by law to preserve their options pending outstanding legal challenges.

In an awkward spot
Four years later, the New York Times tacitly admits it was wrong about the Covid pandemic and immigration. Two mea culpas, albeit from third parties but on its opinion page:
“Why Covid probably started in a lab” revises the once-mandatory narrative. The second story, headlined “An object lesson on how to destroy public trust,” condemns the scientific community for keeping “inconvenient information” from the public and disparaging “as crackpot nonsense” arguments to keep open beaches and parks “leaving city dwellers to huddle in much more dangerous … cramped and poorly ventilated apartments.”
Officials didn’t just spread these dubious ideas, they also demeaned anyone who dared question them. “Dr. Fauci throws cold water on conspiracy theory that coronavirus was created in a Chinese lab” was one typical headline.
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff confesses that “many of us liberals now find ourselves in an awkward spot on immigration.”
For years we have denounced draconian steps by Republicans to bar desperate migrants. But President Biden has now introduced his own tough steps to reduce asylum seeker, not so different from President Tump’s approach.
Short & not so sweet
• Anyone else think criminal charges will be filed after Milwaukee public schools fiasco?
• Our friend and political ally Tom Brew has died. He was a kind and gentle soul, a practicing Christian, conscientious Republican, and former member of the Dane County Board of Supervisors.
• Too nice a day to be reading blogges! Get outside! The sun is actually shining!
Blaska’s Bottom Line:The nadir of the great coronavirus pandemic of 2020 was pulling up next to a motor scooter on Whitney Way here in Madison WI. The young rider was wearing a face mask but no helmet in the clear, cool breeze. We knew then the gods must be crazy.

Mr. Squire, I was sad to read that Tom Brew had died. Didn’t know Tom nearly as well as his late wife, Chris, who was a great customer and friend for many years.
Believing Christians they were, so both are now in Paradise
Me Too?? I say “about time”.
WI Supreme Court rule the day of.
The attorney cited Harvard Law School Professor Lawrence Lessig’s report fully supporting the Trump team’s actions in Wisconsin.
“He concludes, as we did at the time, that given the results of the 2020 recount were appealable (and were appealed) to the United States Supreme Court, it was a reasonable course of action and expected that the Trump-Pence electors would cast alternate elector ballots. Indeed, Professor Lessig concludes that ‘To find civil liability [as the Biden Elector Plaintiffs sought here] … would, in my view, violate the Supremacy Clause of the United State Constitution.’”

Magnifying the DESPICABLE in despicable Lefty!
Yhe Gotch
Democrats have to suborn the rule of law, censor their critics and make up imaginary laws to SAVE DEMOCRACY.
I take great satisfaction in the fear at the CIA, FBI, DOJ.
If elected I would, on Day I, close the border, deport every illegal that runs afoul of the law, freeze gummint hiring, accept the written resignation of every Biden appointee serving at the president’s OK, freeze spending and no new wars.
Joe Biden has dementia. Who is in charge? Unelected officials. That’s not how a Democracy works.
Before I vote for you I need to know …. would you choose electrocution or eaten by a shark. It seems that is the question all MAGA people want answered.
AQUIT HUNTER BIDEN NOW!!!!!
I can’t decide if Wisconsin’s10 fake electors who signed phony documents were being stupid or really wanted to subvert the democratic process. Possibly a little of both. Or was it a case of “Me, too” ?
