Thoughts on President Obama’s anti-terrorism speech

On Thursday President Barack Obama gave a speech focused on our nation’s anti-terrorism strategy, and during that speech Obama made it clear his administration will continue to use drone strikes to kill individuals suspected of engaging in or supporting terrorism, even if those suspects happen to be American citizens. Speaking about the assassination of American [...]

Walker campaign staffer serving jail time for second OWI

Boy, Gov. Scott Walker’s staffers just can’t stop breaking the law… Nicole Tieman who resigned without explanation Friday as Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign spokeswoman has begun serving a 20-day sentence behind bars in Milwaukee County on a drunken-driving conviction.

Tesla Motors to repay $465 million government loan 9 years ahead of schedule

So much for Mitt Romney calling electric car company Tesla Motors a “loser.” Tesla Motors, famously called a “loser” by Mitt Romney, is on quite the winning streak these days. It seems like there’s good news about the company every week.

After raising about a billion dollars in a new stock and debt offering, [...]

Scott Walker’s a sucky governor – perhaps he should spend some time visiting the state he governs

So Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s visiting Iowa this week, and while he absolutely positively 100% has no presidential ambitions (according to him), I’m left wondering when he’s actually going to spend time here in Wisconsin. After all, it’s not as if Walker’s done a bang-up job governing Wisconsin.

Perhaps Gov. Walker should spend more time [...]

Wisconsin’s Republican legislators should ask their counterparts in Arizona how selling off state property worked out there

On the supposed Benghazi “coverup”

Yeah, not so much… The cover-up story relies on the premise that Obama administration officials pushed the idea of spontaneity in order to obscure the fact that they had missed warnings of planned terrorist attack. It’s plausible that someone was pushing that story for parochial reasons in these email exchanges. Perhaps the CIA put that [...]

Dan Sebring ready to beat Gwen Moore with a $50 campaign war chest!

Heh…

On a related note, I’m still banned (it’s been over a year now) from commenting/asking Sebring questions on his Facebook page, and I know I’m not alone in being banned. Apparently Sebring cannot tolerate opinions that dissent from his own, which strikes me as a poor quality for an aspiring elected official to [...]

Walker health care “plan” would cost WI taxpayers $50 million per year

According to a new report from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed rejection of a federally funded expansion of state health programs will cost Wisconsin taxpayers about $50 million per year.
