The wages of Woke

SP high school dean and his students
 were victims of DEI.

We said it back in September (“Woke is what broke Sun Prairie schools”), child sexual groomer Robert Gilkey-Meisegeier was a diversity, equity, and inclusion hire. His own attorney confirmed it after the disgraced Sun Prairie West high school dean of students was sentenced to 18 years in prison yesterday.

Ace criminal defense attorney Chris Van Wagner told WMTV-15 News outside the federal courtroom that his client was promoted to dean of students despite not having the qualifications for the job — except race.

“They had a person of color who had a degree. It was in the post-George Floyd era. It was in the DEI era. And the last thing they were going to do was remove a young black man who they viewed as a professional staffer who was apparently popular with and supported by the young people of color in the high school in a district where young people of color were becoming more numerous.”

The attorney said the 31-year-old man continues to suffer fetal alcohol syndrome and “operated on a level of almost a high school or college-age kid.” So he gets promoted to lead high school kids!

Sea shells by the sea shore

If James Comey can be indicted for posting a photograph of sea shells on the sea shore that read “86 47,” certainly Kirk Bangstad should be read the Miranda warning for encouraging the “brother or sister of the Resistance” who promises to “work on their marksmanship” after the failed assassination Saturday 04-25-26 at the Press Association banquet. We side with law prof Jonathan Turley:

In forming this more perfect union, we created the world’s greatest protection of free speech in history. … It comes at a cost. Perhaps Comey is that cost. However, he has a right to write out any hateful thoughts that come to him on his walks on the beach.

The difference is that Bangstad offered something of value (however minimal), namely, free beer to anyone who committed the deed. (It’s like that joke: We know what you are madam, we’re just haggling over the price.) Prediction: Bangstad will be charged, as he should. Comey, however otherwise despicable, will skate.

So much for No Kings!

Anyone else think King Charles v.3 hit it out of the ballpark? Even dazzled Trump, who was on his best behavior. Trump envied that the monarch could do something that has eluded the President — get Democrats to stand up and applaud for his brilliant speech to Congress. The support for Ukraine may have helped. So did his history lesson of Britain’s Glorious Revolution of 1689, in which the legislature curbed the power of the executive — that being one of his own ancestors.

With sly good humor fortified by a thousand years of gravitas, Charles v.3 demonstrated that one can score points without clubbing the baby seal to death. Yeah, we saved Britain from speaking German, but they saved us from speaking French, the king reminded at last night’s White House dinner (in the cramped East Room)! (Do you know how, history buffs?)

Blaska’s Bottom Line #1: Countries with hereditary monarchs are more stable and often more democratic. Sure, Denmark, but look at Spain. We’ll take Saudi Arabia over Yemen.

Blaska’s Bottom Line #2: Sun Prairie school administrators, indoctrinated in Woke at Wisconsin’s schools of education, made Robert Gilkey-Meisegeier a victim, as well as his female students. 

Who knew they keep bees at the White House?

Are they MAGA bees?
