Hugo Chavez jiggered Ol’ Sparky!
We demand primary results be decertified! The Head Groundskeeper is getting with the program. No more will we accept defeat gracefully. Got only three of six correct in the great Blaska-goolie’s Republican primary election predictions. We blame The Deep State for our dismal showing. Only Trump-backed Mike Gableman had worse luck picking winners, he having picked…

‘Trump-backed’ candidate wins … for now
Becky did not claim election fraud! We are bereft that Rebecca Kleefish lost. A peppier, scrappier campaigner you will not find. Becky must have hugged a thousand voters personally. Campaigning hard to be the first female governor of Wisconsin, a working mother — what a contrast she would have made against Tony Evers! Perky and…

The defeated former President came out of Tuesday’s 05-17-22 primary elections around the country with mixed results. Trump endorsed the winner in Pennsylvania’s governor’s primary, a fellow election-denier. His pick for…

Taking the cure (or curse?) at Mar-a-Lago
The (mixed] blessing! Is Mar-a-Lago the Santiago de Compostela of Republicans? Make the journey, fondle the bones, get the blessing? Returning from a pilgrimage to that principality, Tommy Thompson tells the Werkes that the former President anointed him as the only Republican who can beat Tony Evers this November. Duh! That’s like betting the Harlem…
