None dare call RoJo a RINO
Says his loyalty is to the nation’s future, not Donald Trump! Good news, Madison WI progressives. You can recharge your Teslas without being hectored by the Raging Grannies. Elon Musk has crossed swords with Donald Trump. Says his Big Beautiful (Budget) Bill is “a disgusting abomination.” Not a lot of nuance there. Bad News, MAGA cultists. Like Musk, Wisconsin’s most influential Republican has broken with Donald Trump on that budget bill. Unlike Musk, Sen. Ron Johnson has a vote. With the aid of his famous graphs and charts, Sen. Johnson told Republicans at state convention May 17 that the budget…

A buyer’s market for nonsense
What explains it? In our more cynical moments (roughly from 6:30 a.m. to 9:45 p.m.), we ascribe ulterior motives to Jake Tapper for co-authoring the book about the Democrat(ic) party’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s disabling senescence. (But it’s a great read!) Journalism heretic Bari Weiss pinned the tail on the donkey: “How did ordinary citizens see more than people with White House press passes?” It’s the human condition, transcending political party and what else have you: We have biases, we want them confirmed. That’s the problem with sycophancy. Too many Republicans believe Nancy Pelosi caused January 6 and that…

Vicki McKenna should know better
Joe Biden was senile. Donald Trump is crazy! Not so mentally disturbed that he cannot do his job, unlike Old Joe. And much of Donald Trump’s performance is inspired. But the President just made another low-altitude flight over the cuckoo’s nest. Has anyone held tighter to a grudge? Indulged in more fantasies? Practiced such pointless retribution? (Canada?!) Not even Richard Nixon. Trump’s always simmering paranoia erupted after the International Trade Court turned down his unilateral declaration of tariffs. Rather than accept the court’s guidance that there is a right way to impose tariffs — by congressional statute, not…

Ben Wikler helped elect Donald Trump
Wisconsin’s Dem chairman ran interference for old Joe. One of the guilty pleasures of the Trump regime is the suffering it causes Democrats, dues-paying or otherwise. They’re paying for their perfidy in propping up old Joe Biden as the only Democrat — sentient or otherwise — who could beat Trump, that existential threat to all that is holy and decent. Their lamentations rival that of the Hebrew prophets: “One of the great lessons from 2024 is that never again can we as a party suggest to people that what they’re seeing is not true.” That’s Obama and Kamala guru…

Judge Berz laid down the law
Doesn’t make her Judge Dredd Dane County Circuit Judge Ellen Berz presided over the Khari Sanford trial a few years ago. That’s the kid who took the parents of his girlfriend out of their bed in their night clothes on a cold March night, drove them to the UW Arboretum in the same vehicle the parents had lent him, and shot each of them in the back of the head. Not exactly remorseful, Sanford tried to cash out their automatic teller accounts. That was five years ago. (Read & weep.) We witnessed some of those proceedings and were impressed…

Madison’s bad idea factory
Police monitor hard at work undermining public safety! The Judge Hannah Dugan school of law enforcement is waging redistributive justice here in progressive Madison WI. The Office of Independent Police Monitor, budgeted at $400,000 a year, will ferret out racist policing no matter how many shoot-em-ups plague our neighborhoods. (May 26. May 25. May 21. May 21. May 20.) In the last thrilling episode, we detailed how the monitor admonished the local gendarmerie to avoid arresting anyone who might be an illegal immigrant “at all costs.” But the monitor doesn’t stop there. A suspected perp makes a run for it.…
