David Blaska, going out of his way to provoke progressives in Madison WI to make America safe for democracy!

  • Don’t know much about history

    Act 10 did NOT kill Kaleem Caire’s charter school! Mebbe Janet (spell it with me!) Protasiewicz isn’t the progressive black hole obliterating everything Republicans have done for Wisconsin since Tommy Thompson. At least this time, she did not attempt to rewrite legislation from the bench. The Wisconsin Supreme Court 12-13-23 unanimously refused to hear a…

  • WI School choice enemy brews shame

    “A good brewer cannot bring forth evil beer; neither can a corrupt brewer bring forth good beer.” — with apologies to Matthew 7:15  Who is behind the lawsuit seeking to bring down Wisconsin’s school choice program that helps 52,000 low-income, often minority students, escape failing public schools?

(And neither has major league baseball!) Milwaukee has a worse crime rate than Chicago. (It’s the sixth most violent city — half again worse than Chicago,…

  • Tony Evers stands in the schoolhouse door

Democrats are good on allowing mothers to choose whether their unborn child will live or die but not so much on where they will go to school (should they choose the “life” option). Pretty much describes Tony Evers, governor of Wisconsin. Flush with one-time…

  • Do kids today have a prayer?

    God only knows! After the horror of Uvalde TX and, here in Madison, cafeteria brawls, 12-year-olds stealing cars, and teenage shoot-em-ups, this headline in this morning’s Wall Street Journal seems almost quaint: “Supreme Court rules coach can pray on field after game.” Is America great, or what! The administrators of the coach’s Bremerton WA school…
