Listening session protests well organized

Didn’t the Nazis also disrupt meetings?

It’s catnip for MSNBC and its ilk— the urban myth that The People are rising up spontaneously, like mushrooms after a heavy rain, to protest at back-home listening sessions the threat to democracy represented by elected Republican congressmen. The peanut gallery at Blaska Policy Werkes is not that gullible.

They know these disruptions are organized by the folks who do disruptions — the Occupiers of Wall Street, George Floyd’s “mostly peaceful” arsonists, the campus mall occupiers enforcing Jew-free zones, and various harassers of Tesla drivers. The No Kings marchers. In other words, the progressive Left — that includes their bedfellows in the Democrat(ic) party.

In Wisconsin, organizers are targeting U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Janesville. Protestors disrupted his town hall meeting Thursday 07-31-25 in Elkhorn WI. MacIver Institute has video.

More ominously, protesters delivered a cardboard coffin and funeral flowers to Steil’s doorstep — not at his office but at his home, where his wive sleeps and his children play with their toys. TO HIS HOME! Fox News has more:  

The unwanted visitors, dressed in black and carrying cowbells, walked up the congressman’s private driveway in what appeared to be a mock funeral procession, before dropping a cardboard coffin prop with an epitaph at his front door. Former Walworth County Democrat Party chairwoman Ellen Holly was identified in the video footage posted to social media allegedly walking up to Steil’s front door, along with several other constituents from previous protests. — Fox News

Taking credit for this threat are the Southern Wisconsin Grassroots Network and Working Families Party, according to Fox News. Working Families has endorsed NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Also defends Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan for helping that criminal illegal alien escape. We say “threat” because elected officials are increasingly victims of actual violence. Ironically (or not), Steil chairs the committee addressing increased threats to congressional members and their staff.

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Political theater probably satisfies the performer but persuades no one and probably turns off that 15% said to be open-minded. It’s one reason 63% of America is down on Democrats.

What IS their plan?

    Here’s another reason folks are way down on the Democrats:

    Yesterday, Sen. Grassley, from Iowa, released the previously classified “Durham annex” document that pounds another heavy nail in the “Russia collusion hoax.” It implicates the Deep State all the way up to FBI Director Comey and Obama.

    At the time, being gullible and with too much time on my hands, I bought Comey’s book:

    A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership is a book by James Comey, the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), discussing ethics and leadership Comey encountered throughout his life, his career in public office, and his relationship with President Donald Trump, who fired him in May 2017.is a book by James Comey, the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), discussing ethics and leadership Comey encountered throughout his life, his career in public office, and his relationship with President Donald Trump, who fired him in May 2017.

    Where do I get my refund?

      If you want more fiction to read, buy Kamala’s 107 Days or maybe Joe Biden’s upcoming book. Maybe Hunter will write a book since his artwork isn’t selling.

      Trump was after Grassley online, Hawley too. Eating their own now.

      I want to see you come after Obama. I DARE YOU. No more AI BS cartoons on X, arrest him, charge him and see what happens. I double dare you spineless cowards. I want to see Gabbard testify and present all this camera ready BS in court and prove it.

    Damn what nursing home did they raid to come up with that procession?

    Protesting at someone’s residence should be a felony: they’re trying to intimidate, not persuade. Once again Democrats prove they’re on the losing side of every issue.

      Kind of like the people who protested and harassed election workers?

        No, more like the miscreants who harassed Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Roberts, Senator Cruz, Mayor Whitmire, and DA Ozanne outside their own home. And were publicly supported by President Biden.

    Boomers still trying to keep the dream alive. These kind-of protests will probably increase now that NPR/PBS are going bust!

    “RIP Democracy”

    I think the Democrat rabble need a lesson in what Democracy is. Seems they understood the Obama era cry of “Elections have consequences”.

    Democracy ≠ “We always get our way because our sh*t doesn’t stink”

    ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

      The greatest comedy today comes right after Democrats say “You know what would be a great idea? What if we….”

    Sure enough, CNN was all over the protests at Steil’s Elkhorn listening session. How did they happen to be there (or get footage)? Because organizers who staged this show told them about it. With a straight face, CNN presented it as a random cross section of American opinion — not as a Democrat-orchestrated event.

      They covered it because people are angry about what the spinless GOP is doing. Cancel cancer screenings because they are “woke”? Bad labor stats, fire the Dept head. Epstein, go home for 5 weeks and shut up. Inflation? Get over it. If you don’t like the reaction you are getting then fix this s@#t. Now you can’t send in your taxes directly to the IRS. You run everything in DC, but it is still the Dems fault. Deny, Deflect, Lie. People are getting sick of this crap. When will you ever own up to the fact that the GOP is screwing up and you are living in fear waiting for the bottom to fall out of trump’s grifter scam.

          No fear of water, fear of the GOP Kool aid you people are passing around. now you have RFk wanting to fire the US Preventive Disease Task Force. Cancer and health screenings are too WOKE. Measles are at a 30 yr high because of his vaccine policy. And all you fools just go along because why. He’s a Repukulian, Dementia Don appointee, another stable genius. Now tell me it’s all Joe’s fault. Obama, Nancy, Hillary, Harris. You write all these smart-ass comments trying to sound cute, but you are all Dumb as a rock. Vote against your own best interest. When your old lady finds a lump just tell her not to call that WOKE, horrible doctor because this stable genius has a home remedy for her to use.

        The dems dug their own grave. They’re in trouble, and as always will try anything to get attention. I don’t care for DJT but 2028 will not be carried by some confused wacked out Democrat. It just won’t happen.

        Trade deals happening. Billions in foreign investments. Southern border being secured. Illegals being deported. EU helping more with Ukraine. Iran on the ropes. Russia and China thinking twice. Doucheclown Colbert cancelled. Left wing media on the decline. Objective alternative media on the rise. Populist backlash against wokesters. Biden’s coverup exposed. Democrats desperately moving leftward. Sanity slowly but surely returning.

          Kudos to RoJo that he cancelled the security clearance for Kim Cheatle the most incompetent Secret Service Director in the history of security.

          According to the Bank of America, foreign investment interests are withdrawing from the U.S. market because of an incompetent Trump administration. Our national debt is skyrocketing. The illegal tariffs (only Congress has the power to impose them) mean that consumers will soon be paying even more for goods and services. Small business is suffering. Trump’s gestapo continues to disappear people. America is no longer a popular tourist destination.

          Tell me more, Mordecai.

          “Tell me more, Mordecai.”

          Sure thing.

          $750B in energy purchases from the EU. And they’re investing $600B more in other US goods. Japan investing $550B in US projects and opening their markets to US agriculture and cars.

          200k+ illegals deported.

          NASDAQ and S&P 500 setting record highs.

          Doucheclown Colbert cancelled. (Oops, already mentioned that.) Kimmel likely sh!tting his pants.

          The SCOTUS will determine if the tariffs are legal. My money is on them being upheld.

          If by popular tourist destination you mean one where illegals can enter, stay as long as they like, and enjoy the protection of leftist apologists, then you’re right.
