    [ 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…

They actually elected a socialist as mayor of the nation’s capital of capitalism, so the wind is at their sails. Which, speaking of alternative energy sources, is why we think the Affordability/Abundance wing will fly headlong like sandhill cranes into the whirling windmills of…
