It’s the new year but nothing much has changed. Today I got an email from Nancy Pelosi titled: need input, NOT money: HUH! It included a link to a policy questionnaire and guess what? The questionnaire ended with a solicitation for a contribution. WTF? Well, the upside, it wasn’t one…

Yes, the finger pointing on the current government shutdown falls elliptically in the oval office…but it can also be blamed on lame duck Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. Initially the Senate passed a bipartisan continuing resolution on a voice vote with the expectation that the House would follow suit…

From our email inbox tonight, another missive from the president about the shutdown. Redundant. Misguided. Totally asinine. But read it for yourself: Ed, Since the #SchumerShutdown, Nancy Pelosi has retreated to a Hawaiian resort for the holidays and Maxine Waters is vacationing in the Bahamas. The Democrats have made it…

As long as we are twittering about the nonsense showing up in the Blogging Blue Twitter feed today, we might as well go down the Governor Scott Walker rabbit hole. Today Gov. Walker commented on Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s announcement that she is running for president in 2020. Why would this…

Surprisingly it’s Milwaukee’s own Representative Gwen Moore: On Christmas Eve, Rep. Gwen Moore became the first sitting member of Congress to demand that President Donald Trump resign.

As would be expected, President Barack Obama nominated a qualified jurist, Judge Merrick Garland, to replace Scalia on the court. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wasn’t having any of that. Saying that the voters should have input on…

Gotta work on that legacy! You know the one! The one that subverts the will of the people…all those good voters who wisely elected Tony Evers over Governor Scott Walker. So Wednesday, Governor Walker appointed two more judges to vacant Milwaukee County Circuit Court judgeships. Apparently he doesn’t hold the…

Let’s see how you do: A: Trump claims ‘many’ furloughed or unpaid federal workers want wall, support gov’t shutdown B: Trump now claims most furloughed workers ‘are Democrats’ C: Trump warns shutdown could last ‘very long time,’ D: All of the above E: WTF?

Wisconsin Governor-elect Tony Evers has nominated Craig Thompson as his Secretary of the Department of Transportation. Now Mr. Thompson has been a very vocal advocate of infrastructure support including increased gasoline taxes to pay for Wisconsin’s deteriorating roads and highways. And of course he found fault with Governor Walker’s management…
