State Representative Jonathan Brostoff Arrested In Sherman Park
For many of you from Milwaukee this is now old news already…but for those of you outside of Milwaukee…well you may have seen it too since it made the national news.
But here are the particulars in a nutshell. Mourners continue to congregate in the area in Sherman Park where Sylville Smith was killed […]
Governor Walker Steps Up To The Plate
I am a few days late on this…but I need to give credit where credit is due.
Governor Scott Walker announced that $4.5 million in state and federal funds will be made available to Milwaukee for help with job training, business development and repairing/removing foreclosed homes. This all is coming in the wake of […]
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.

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.”
Go Back To Africa
Go back to Africa…a little bit if vitriol that should never have survived into the 21st Century.
Go back to Africa…something I wouldn’t be writing about except it’s being re-voiced by supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Go back to Africa…being said to people whose ancestors have been Americans for generations…in most cases far […]
This President
This president…a pretty simple neutral sounding sentence fragment. Perfect for any number of uses in a newscast, newspaper article, political speech or a blog post like this one. But if you listen to Fox News for any length of time you’ll soon realize they use it as a pejorative…to denigrate the president…to project a negative […]

This was posted on Policy.mic today, an ad from the National Congress of American Indians:
For years, America has been debating the use of the term “Redskin” by Washington’s NFL team, the Washington Redskins. Though the NFL says they’re listening, nothing has been done. But with this ad, the NCAI has put a […]
