Donald Trump: The Ultimate Fellow Traveler
President Donald Trump couldn’t leave well enough alone. After taking his time putting out a statement about the rallies, confrontations, violence and murder in Charlottesville…he doesn’t address the real meat of the problem. And after two days of pressure from nearly every sector in America…he finally comes out in a prepared statement and condemns hatred […]
MILWAUKEE – Several members of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors released the following statement regarding the recent terrorist incident in Charlottesville, Virginia:
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Heather Heyer and the other victims of hate-fueled violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.
“Hate has no place in America, […]
A Dirty Little Secret About Planned Parenthood.
Behind closed doors with a select audience of supporters, President Trump signed an executive order that will allow states to divert Title X federal dollars used for women’s health care away from the Planned Parenthood clinics that provide those services.
President Trump signed legislation Thursday allowing states to withhold federal family planning dollars from […]
Where Are All of the Women In Wisconsin Politics
Last week I saw a post on Facebook stating that a station in Madison had aired a segment stating 75% of the town boards in Wisconsin lacked even a single woman. Today Politifact in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reviewed that statement and found it to be true.

I’ve seen the future, and it is female.
No, I’m not clairvoyant. I’ve just recently met the Emerge Wisconsin Class of 2017!
This past Saturday night, Emerge Wisconsin had a meet and greet in Milwaukee where one could mingle with all 50 of the current program members.

On Being: Krista Tippett’s Interview of John Lewis.
Instead of wasting your time on the president’s press conference, a better way to spend your Sunday afternoon would be listening to On Being’s host, Krista Tippet, interview Congressman John Lewis:
We take in the extraordinary wisdom of Congressman John Lewis on what happened in Selma on Bloody Sunday and beyond — and how it […]
By now we have all digested the nonsense ‘alternative fact’ from President Trump about the media underreporting or just not reporting on terrorist attacks. And how simple it was to debunk. And how the White House quickly and easily provided a list of 78 examples and how simple they were to debunk. We all […]
Mitch McConnell Made His Bed
…and now he has to lie in it.
Normally I would support the premise that a newly elected president should be able to name his (historically accurate) own cabinet and advisers and have them confirmed within a reasonable amount of time: after a fair but thorough confirmation hearing in the senate. Cabinet appointments are very […]
Sunday Sermon: The Good Samaritan
No this isn’t going to be a new feature at Blogging Blue every Sunday.
Although I don’t identify as a Christian now, I was raised in the Catholic Church and Christ’s parable of the Good Samaritan appeared in the liturgy on an annual basis. So it is stuck in my memory pretty indelibly.

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.
