  • Blaska would like his party back

    Revenge of the RINOs! This week the President of the United States vowed to extinguish “a whole civilization” — language used by no wartime President — not even Richard Nixon jabbering to the portraits hanging in the White House, scotch in hand, during Watergate. Peggy Noonan calls Trump’s tweet, “the language of sociopathy.” This RINO…

  • And they’re off!

    Republicans can see daylight from here! Election season began Thursday 07-24-25 when Tony Evers announced he would not seek a third four-year term.

  • Blaska took out a booth at the Republican convention

You can see Rib Mountain from here, the second highest point in our lovely state. The booth at Central Wisconsin Convention…

  • WI GOP looking for someone to make the peace

    ‘How did things ever get this far?’ Third of three — at last! We’ve been monitoring the rumblings among the deepening factions of the Wisconsin Republican party with morbid fascination. Yes, it is a party in transition — reinvigorated by the Tea Party 15 years ago, broadened by Trump 10 years ago. Republicans snatched working…
