  • ‘Equity’ is fatal;  the cure: more prisons!

    ‘Do progressives have an answer?’ No, because progressives are the problem. If she looked a tad less chirpy than a car hop on Happy Days, Rebecca Kleefisch might get more respect. Because she is pretty … ballsy (if you will pardon the rampant sexism). The former lieutenant governor is calling on the Republican state legislature…

  • Virtue signaling in a hail of bullets

    Damn, he’s good! Cannot do better than quote former mayor Dave Cieslewicz (pronounced exactly as spelled). Also, my North Korean scriveners walked off the job today so I’ve got to poach someone else’s work.

As part of Mayor Satya’s efforts to eviscerate the police, she proposed transfering parking enforcement out of MPD. It passsed 11…

  • Do black lives matter only when taken by blue lives?

    BLM protests prevented 300 police shootings  but caused up to 6,000 other homicides! Another take on the George Floyd/Derek Chauvin trial: Did you detect any evidence, testimony, or even postulation that suggested racial animus? An epithet uttered? The defendant’s past membership in the Klan, perhaps? No basis for an arrest? The suspect complying fully with…
