  • ‘Victimhood is not liberation’

    Guilty white progressives teach blame, not phonics. Monday, January 19, we honor America’s historic struggle for civil rights and human dignity. We do so in the name of Martin Luther King Jr. Blaska admires the guy for his courage as much as for his noble cause. (Great wordsmith, too!) History records many allies — some…

  • The Capital Times IS ‘the far left’

    Never reticent and probably none the wiser. We read Paul Fanlund and The Capital Times because he and it are responsible for much of the goofiness in Madison-area politics. Same reason Mossad keeps track of Hamas. Publisher Fanlund is smarting from the white-hot blowback from property taxpayers over their city and school tax bills (which…

  • Madison public schools are disproportionately stupid

    Racists blame the teachers! Madison’s public schools have a “coordinator for progressive discipline.” Things we never knew, thanks to Chris Rickert, writing for our favorite local morning newspaper.

It’s official. Newly hired Police Monitor Aeiramique Glass Blake, contemporaneously suing…

  • The Right ideas

    from ‘the wrong guy.’ News photograph shows Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan leaving the federal courthouse after the third day of trial Wednesday. The injudicious judge is charged with helping an illegal alien escape. Shouldn’t the judge herself be leaving through the secret, backstairs passageway?  You know you’re in trouble when a fellow judge testifies…

  • We monitor the police monitor

    for Schlitz and giggles because you can’t kill it! Beginning to think the only reason Madison’s Independent Police Monitor survives like Rasputin after being poisoned, stabbed, and drowned is because throwbacks like Blaska keep trashing it. (We earned our paranoia.) But here comes Madison’s latest (we’ve lost count) police monitor hire, Aeiramique Glass Blake —…
