Local right-wing squawk radio host Mark Belling sure is a piece of work, and I don’t mean that in a good way. Belling, who once referred to a female school board member as a “whore” and also called breastfeeding moms “sows”, took to the airwaves on Monday to discuss the…

Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel and other members of his Department of Justice are apparently unsure of what they are doing. Earlier this week the DOJ announced that there were no violations of Wisconsin laws apparent in clandestine videos provided by discredited conservative activist James O’Keefe and his organization Project…
