Why Mark Pocan, D-Madison, voted against the debt limit deal
“Forget the debt ceiling. The Biden-McCarthy compromise is a big deal because it is a spending compromise. An important provision of the deal is that if, by the end of the year, the House and Senate haven’t passed 12 appropriations bills (the long-forgotten way budgeting is supposed to work), all discretionary spending would become subject to an automatic 1% cut. This is what is known as a “sequester.” A sequester is to Democrats what garlic is to vampires. …
“The truth today is this: The modern Democratic Party — the party of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and the House Squad — won’t cut or slow spending for any existing federal program, ever. Now, Mr. McCarthy’s negotiators have managed to create a wedge against the left’s massive opposition to spending reforms.”

Question of the Day
What ‘Deep State’?
Rachael Rollins, the US attorney for Massachusetts, leaked sensitive Justice Department information to a journalist in an effort to influence a local election, lied to investigators and improperly attended a fundraiser with Jill Biden, according to two critical federal reports released Wednesday. (More here.)
How can anyone take them seriously?
Charles C.W. Cooke asks at National Review.
“Rachel Maddow made a career out of spreading lunatic conspiracy theories on MSNBC, as did Chris Hayes and Nicolle Wallace (who is still, today, rejecting all evidence that contradicts her fever dream). Adam Schiff lied relentlessly from his official perch on the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and is now gearing up to run for the Senate.”

Biden is virtue signaling a political prosecution of the 4 George Floyd cops
Before Chauvin is even sentenced! In our system of jurisprudence, even Mafia dons are entitled to a fair trial. The measure of true justice is taken in the difficult cases; have we preserved the rights of unpopular defendants? No Captain … Continue reading
Madison schools: quit teaching racism
Sorry we got caught Have you read a less sincere “apology” than that uttered by Madison WI public schools for its discussion groups segregated by race like some Mississippi Burning bus station? “This message did not convey our intention in … Continue reading
Madison schools: Press #1 if you’re white, #2 if you’re not
We have crossed the Rubicon, if not the racial River Hades itself. Madison WI public schools are enforcing racial segregation. Bad enough, but MMSD is also pre-judging (the root word of prejudge) the police officer who saved the lives of … Continue reading
Do black lives matter only when taken by blue lives?
BLM protests prevented 300 police shootings but caused up to 6,000 other homicides! Another take on the George Floyd/Derek Chauvin trial: Did you detect any evidence, testimony, or even postulation that suggested racial animus? An epithet uttered? The defendant’s past … Continue reading
Derek Chauvin gets the death sentence
Bad cop, coerced verdicts We cannot say the verdict of guilty on all three counts in the George Floyd trial today is unwarranted. It’s certainly not surprising. But it may be as political as it is judicial. Every state writes … Continue reading
