OMFG! Who is Zoominfo and why are they doing this to me?

this could be funny if it wasn’t so sad…and I would really like to know how they pulled this nonsense together: and please let me know how I can get my hands on the $5M in revenue…

Are Legislators Ever Really On The Floor Except For Votes?

I am not singling out this video from Twitter but it brought this thought back to mind that I have had many many times before when viewing similar videos…and not only in Washington but Madison as well. When these policy speeches are being made, are there other legislators actually on…

The Decline In Transparency In WI State Government

First, I…

Ed Heinzelman supports Mitch McConnell??

This is one more piece of crap email that I rail about that Democratic candidates send out. This is the title on the email that I received from US Representative Cheri Bustos (D-IL 17th CD). First, I find these negative campaign ads to be appalling. Yes, I know negative campaigning…

Lame Ducks In Madison Aren’t The Laws

Instead I would suggest that it is the GOP ‘lawmakers’ who are the lame ducks.

Trump Challenges First Amendment and Twitter Use…again!

President Donald Trump is appealing an appellate court ruling that he can’t block users from his @realDonalTrump Twitter account…saying the application of the First Amendment in the case was “fundamentally misconceived.” Whoa…must have been his lawyers on that one…too many multi-syllabic words there!
