  • Democrats are fighting their own intifada

    Their bolshies are not tolerant people! Like always, we’ll gorge on bratwursts and beer this Saturday July 4, no matter the temperature. The only question is whether we will fire up that orange bug of a tractor, our 1950 Allis Chalmers G, for the Orchard Ridge neighborhood parade again this year.  Should do something special,…

  • Democrats are now, officially, the party of socialism

    Socialism is to communism as simmer is to boil. If America is in crisis (and when is it not?), it has little to do with the price of hamburger, the Straits of Hormuz, or algae in the reflecting pool.

    Committing crime is so stressful! Stop the presses! Madison’s independent police monitor blames police for the demise of criminal suspect Richard Lee Johnson. One day after his arrest on 12-30-24 the man died in a Madison hospital. O.K., he had cocaine working in his blood stream. Yeah, he ran from police after stealing a car…

  • Democrats sort through their seven dwarfs

    No trillionaires need apply! Political junkies are trying to extract meaning from the results of the WisPolitics straw poll taken this past weekend at the Democrat(ic) state convention here in Madison WI.  Among the seven dwarfs vying to oppose Tom Tiffany for governor, Sara Rodriquez — rumored to be the state’s current lieutenant governor —…
