Be like Brad
Show some dignity! This is what it’s all about, kids. Brad Schimel is a mensch. He took his loss in this week’s WI Supreme Court race like a real man. No whining, no tinfoil-hat conspiracy mongering, no excuses, no dumfukkery. Where has that been these last five years? What a wonderful account in this morning’s…

That’s Schimel’s task in Dane County! The faceless bureaucrats, masked to elude Musk’s Musketeers, took the tarp off Ol’ Sparky, our Eisenhower-era mainframe computer, to crunch a few numbers pending the outcome of today’s Wisconsin spring election, which is non-partisan.

Thanks to state Supreme Court Justice Janet (spell it with me) Protasiewicz, the party of progressivism gerrymandered legislative districts with blue-colored crayons but voters still rewarded Republicans with a 54 to 45 majority…

No knockouts in Fox v Kamala Harris
but plenty of cuts and bruises! The Bret Baier interview with Kamala Harris that flickered over our b&w Philco Wednesday evening 10-16-24 should have been narrated ringside by Don Dunphy. It was more debate than interview, with the newsman a surrogate for Trump. The Democrat(ic) contender had to cover up when asked to justify the…
