And absolve Chamberlin Rock of racism! Whaddaya think of this idea: A TV spot that will put Tom Tiffany over the top in November (pending midnight thumb drives in Milwaukee)! Spot opens with my man standing next to the Chamberlin Rock, more massive than the Deep State conspiracy. “Hi, I’m Tom Tiffany. I promise…

Pray for Madison
Why are Madison’s leaders silent? After taking over Madison’s seat of government over the weekend, guerrillas engaged in the Corey Ruiz intifada are locked and loaded with tendentious questions for Mayor Satya, Police Chief Patterson, and other city managers at tonight’s special (and we think, unprecedented) Council meeting. → It’s live-streamed on the City Channel,…

Rename that school!
After a black woman! With considerably less anticipation than a shipwrecked husband on his honeymoon night, the Head Groundskeeper awaits the renaming of three more public schools Monday 08-24-26 here in Woke City, Wisconsin. Renaming public schools is the latest Woke Madison fetish, now that the city has overcome its sense of white fragility to…
Blaska Policy Werkes
NY Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch at the dedication of the 9/11 police memorial: “Preserving that history means also preserving that moral clarity that the men who attacked this city were terrorists, the men and women who ran into that towers to save lives were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do.”
The 3rd Annual Mental Health Warrior Film Festival is live on Saturday, September 12 from 1 P.M. – 10 P.M. at Flix Brewhouse located at 85 E. Towne Way, Madison, WI 53704.
For more information about the festival. Can’t make it in person, enjoy the online festival.

After 9/11
The urge to blame America and stop it from responding began immediately.
In the years after 9/11, blaming America for the activities of Islamic terrorists became a mania among left-tilting scribblers the world over. When they couldn’t reasonably attach culpability to America—because the attack happened in France or Spain, which consistently oppose U.S. interventions—the enlightened blamed America’s stand-in, Israel. Somehow the jihadists always lacked agency. …
The war on terror launched in the days afterward involved innumerable blunders and still invites derision from the globe’s expert class. But a quarter-century later, the country hasn’t sustained another strike of similar proportions, and the terror networks that once produced fighters by the thousand have had their leaders killed, their money frozen and their recruits severely pruned.
America wouldn’t, and couldn’t, consent to live with the madmen. — Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal
Political stupidity
Another election season is upon us. … One party is hoisting monuments to a fading 80-year-old president who hasn’t done much except get America stuck in another Middle East war while attacking the nice Canadians to our north with irrational tariffs and weird hockey memes. The other is making sweeping promises to do something about the “cost-of-living crisis” through massive government spending and price caps with scant reflection on why they didn’t address the high cost of living just a few short years ago when they had control of government. — John Halpin, “The emptiness of contemporary politics”
