Immigrants Need To Assimilate!
During the campaign and since the election of President-elect Donald Trump…as part of the undercurrent of the anti-immigrant rhetoric there has been the continued story that immigrants need to assimilate. That they don’t do that. But they do…they do it very effectively…even if it isn’t on the schedule that the right thinks is normal.

Nancy Pelosi Has Got To Go
I have no axe to grind with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. I respect her accomplishments as a member of the House, as the first woman Speaker of the House, and most recently as minority leader.

Sheriff Clarke Runs Amok, County Exec Abele Talks Sense, and a Judge Starts the Healing
Following the Sherman Park riots on August 13th and 14th, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke decided to close Milwaukee County park, Sherman Park, at 6 PM each day. The normal time for county parks to close is 10 PM. In the short term this made some sense but in the passing days and then weeks, […]

Wisconsin AG Brad Schimel is Stone Cold Tone Deaf:
Per a recent state law, a third party agency must conduct the investigations of police involved shootings. Following the killing of a young man in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood by a member of the Milwaukee Police Department, the Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating the incident.

Where Was Governor Walker On Sunday?
Actually Governor Scott Walker was in Glendale (a Milwaukee suburb just north of the city) on Sunday attending a Support The Blue Day rally. I don’t have an issue with that.
But considering the events in Milwaukee Saturday night and his proximity to Sherman Park what he didn’t do is an issue.
He didn’t meet […]
Earlier this week when it seemed like he was still in the running to be Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich decided to shred the Bill of Rights:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday that U.S. citizens “of a Muslim background” should be tested to see if they believe in Sharia law. (emphasis […]
This is a good step forward for transgendered students.
Public schools must allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity, the Obama administration announced Friday, escalating the pressure on the contentious public debate over transgender rights.
Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday attempted to refute prominent transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner’s criticism of the senator’s support for a controversial North Carolina bathroom law.
“This is the height of political correctness,” Cruz said. “Frankly, the concern is not the Caitlyn Jenners in the world.”
