  • Can Madison WI afford to be any more progressive?

    WANTED: ‘social & economic justice’ for taxpayers! In a few months, The Capital Times will encourage voters to elect progressives to local political office. We know this from bitter experience. • As in March 2021, it announced “endorsements for a strong, progressive city council.” • The next year, it recommended 13 “Progressive voices for April voters.”…

  • Thank you, Monona police, for chasing the bad guys

    Madison defunds police by other means. The indentured servants here in the Orchard Ridge neighborhood wish to thank Police Chief Brian Chaney for keeping us safe. We do so although he is not our chief of police but runs the cop shop over at the City of Monona. We do so to assure Chief Chaney…

  • Gov. Tim Walz & Minnesota taxpayers get fleeced

That won’t stop the Democratic Party of Dane County WI from endorsing candidates across the board. And funding them; and setting them up with web designers, campaign lit…

Them’s his own words, delivered on the floor of the Senate Monday 11-10-25. Fifteen years after a…

  • Yeah, Dane County Board defunded police

    What else would you call at $2,388,000 reduction? Who are you going to believe, the Democratic-endorsed Dane County supervisors claiming they’re not defunding the police or your lying eyes?  Incredibly — as in: you gotta be kidding! — the chairman of the committee overseeing the Sheriff’s Office, Richelle Andrae, denied the county board majority was…
