  • Some of us still love America

    and don’t think (un)democratic socialists have to ‘remake’ it! My father was born on Independence Day, as were two of his sisters in a family of nine farm children in the Town of Sun Prairie WI. He was proud of that. When Kodak set about to assemble Americans born on the Fourth of July for…

  • Too much democracy got us into this mess

    Populist paranoia has taken over both parties! Any system that can nominate to the United States Senate a crypto-Nazi like Graham Platner in Maine and a bunko artist like Ken Paxton in Texas — both moral degenerates — is more broken than Bill Gates’ wedding vows.

Did Senate Democrats threaten the President with reprisals if he backed the scandal-plagued Ken Paxton, who could well lose Texas?…

  • Mayor Dave leaves the party

    after the Democrat(ic) party left him. A former Democrat(ic) mayor is studying to be a conservative. His words. Like he’s studying to take religious orders. He’s that serious. Dave Cieslewicz! More recently of the WI Bicycle Federation, now a public scribbler. Two terms as mayor of Madison WI, sanctuary city of Woke, “No Kings” progressivism. We…
