Soglin’s public market — you’re a privileged racist if you question it
The Stately Manor’s satellite dishes are trained on Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearings. Trained spotters here at the Policy Werkes are in some wonderment at the well timed disruptions of spectators shouting various unintelligible slogans. The hearing started off with protestors wearing KKK sheets, thereby fulfilling the requirement that, at some point, the race card must be…

Do UW-Madison students identify as sheep?
Heaven forfend anyone criticizing the University of Wisconsin’s flagship Madison campus. To cross that Rubicon is to brand oneself as a philistine, a rube —Vandals at the gates, Trump voters. The knee-jerk reaction from our … acquaintances is to defend the Leninist re-education camps our college campuses have become with high-minded prattle. Instead of encouraging…

Thank God it wasn’t BLM!
Imagine that four white punks had tortured a disabled black kid and F-bombed Barack Obama for public amusement. There would be an desperate run on storefront plywood in Chicago. Sturm und drang from MSNBC. Turgid tsk-tsking from The Nation’s stable of socialists. Don Lemon extra Red Bull nasty. The victim invited to the White House. Inconveniently for the identity…

Hillary was hacked! The horror! Deb Jordahl? Ho hum.
Did Julian Assange, the Russians or the WWE hack the presidential election? Not according to a social media friend, who has come forward to claim full responsibility. “I did it,” he says. “I elected Donald Trump. I voted for him.” Glad that is cleared up. The point is, not a single voting booth in America was hacked.…

Get those scam artists off the damn street medians!
Here is the plan: Mark this date: Tuesday, February 7 (a date that will live … in infamy!) That is when Squire will be driven through the protective gates of the Stately Manor, his gracious abode, to the Temple of Mammon, aka: the City-County Building in downtown Madison. He is scheduled to arrive minutes before…

Obama’s Chicago is a casualty of the Left’s War on Police
So far, 2017 has been a good year. Except for the Big Fourteen football conference. The Badgers kept up their end of the bargain by schooling the West Northeastern Michigan Community College Tadpoles, as predicted. Good golly, Troy Fumagalli! But Ohio State bombed worse than Mariah Carey on New Year’s Eve. Michigan, Nebraska, Indiana, Maryland,…
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.”

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”
