Madison’s anti-Trump rally may well be …
what Democracy looks like. Just returned from the “No Kings” march down State Street to the Capitol in Madison WI today. Found a (bum-proof) city bench outside the Overture performing arts center. The fellow across the street had a better idea, observing the festivities from the open window wall of a whisky bar. (Madison really is great that way.) After an hour the anti-Trump marchers were still coming strong six blocks away from their rendezvous at the University of Wisconsin Library Mall. It was festive, with its own marching band and even a bagpiper, who was cheered when he…

Wouldn’t it be nice
An appreciation of Brian Wilson. What’s the big news today? The Wisconsin State Journal reports that the City of Madison is making it easier to subdivide large lots in the quest for greater housing density. (Stay tuned on that one!) The Wall Street Journal leads with efforts to roll back rules on power plant pollution. The on-line New York Times goes international with a jet crash killing 200 medical students in India. No, the big news is that Brian Wilson has died, age 82. It’s what Dave Zweifel, our old editor at The Capital Times, called “a talker.” It’s…

Another insurrection — this one not pardoned
Trump didn’t start this fire! It’s Pavlovian, or something. What is it about Democrats that make them want to fly warp speed into the fly paper with the resolve of jihadists boring into the World Trade Center? Do progressives promise their own virgins? Los Angeles is burning again — this time over President Trump’s enforcement of immigration law. Yeah, Trump is a one-man synonym for “excess” but the progressive Left takes his bait every time. (Not to be left behind, demonstration scheduled Saturday 06-14-25 in Madison WI.) Scores of Los Angeles businesses are looted. Rocks thrown at federal law…

R.I.P. David Blaska (some day)
May God have mercy on this blog. Can’t explain it but as the Squire ages more funerals seem to populate his calendar. We take Yogi Berra’s guidance: if we don’t go to their funerals they won’t come to ours. Got us obsessing about Life’s Last Picture Show. Impressed by the turnout at Dennis O’Loughlin’s visitation last week in DeForest WI. Police on motorcycles! Not one but three priests to officiate the funeral Mass! Served with Dennis on Dane County Board. Told mourners he was probably more responsible for building the present courthouse than any single member. Isn’t that what…

Democrats stick with losing formula
Doubling down on foolish! An illegal alien turns a flame thrower on Jews in Boulder CO who were seeking the release of prisoners held by Palestinian terrorists. The same day, U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Hamas) and Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) attempted to pose for holy pictures with illegals held in the Dodge County jail for I.C.E. Denied their Sen. Van Hollen moment, we don’t know if the two Democrats consoled each other over margaritas afterward. Wisconsin Democrats, at least, are sticking to the old-time religion: racial grievance, welfare statism, class warfare, open borders, redistributionism (aka “socialism”), Greta Thunberg, and pronouns. …
