Psst! (Did you know that Hillary was female? Pass it on)
The curse of identity politics that has consumed and devoured the Democrat(ic) party is sanctioned by none other than its most recent standard bearer. Hillary Clinton’s rationale was always thin gruel — it was her turn as a woman. A compromised, ethically challenged, spinning weather vane of a candidate. An under-investigation by the FBI candidate.

Here we are, seven years in, and the statewide school chief is a liberal Democrat. The state superintendent of public instruction is ALWAYS a liberal Democrat no matter who is governor. A liberal…

A tough election night in Madison
A tough night at the Stately Manor. Our candidates lost all across the board. Bob Dylan sang that the times, they are a’changing. But in Orchard Ridge’s case, it is the neighborhood that is a’changing. In driveways on my street and the next one over moving pods await, one of those residences took my candidate’s yard…

What a parade!
750,000 fans! Maybe the largest gathering in state history!
“This was the happiest human traffic jam in the city’s history.” (Quote)
Manager Pat Murphy, age 67, brought up the rear of the parade sitting on a lawn chair with his young kids. It was a long parade. “I had to pee.”
Robin Yount, just like he did at a rally after the parade in 1982, rode in on a motorcycle. It was Bob Uecker’s Harley-Davidson.
