  • 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…

  • Let’s do a little profiling, shall we!

    Youth profiling, that is! Bring back the curfew! Kids, children, teens — anyone under the age of 18 — have no rights that adults are bound to respect.   Gawd help us if police were allowed to round up unsupervised teenagers loitering on State Street at 1 in the morning of an August weekend before…

To which Blaska Policy Werkes says: GOOD! Well done! Keep it up! In its still shrouded…

  • Fiscal conservatives? In Madison?

    [ Insert laughing emoji here: 😜 ] Property tax bills gut-punched Madison WI homeowners by a year-over-year average 11.2% this winter but most local candidates remain focused on the niche interests of “under-served populations” in service of diversity, equity and inclusion — the gold, frankincense, and myrrh of uniparty progressivism.   Ol’ Sparky, our Eisenhower-era…
