Gas Prices On The Rise: Thanks Trump!
Remember when anything negative happened in the economy for 2008 – 2016, the phrase Thanks Obama was on every tea partiers lips?
Well time to return the favor, except the majority of gas price increases is the direct result of the actions coming out of the Oval Office this time.

Paul Ryan Finally Fires the House Chaplain
This past week, House Speaker Paul Ryan fired the House Chaplain. I applaud him for that. But he did it for all the wrong reasons. He did it because he thought the chaplain had butted into the political discussion during the debate around the ‘tax reform bill’. Speaker Ryan’s action was petty and partisan and […]
Why Isn’t This Domestic Terrorism?
Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people;

When Republicans put together their tax bill last […]
Hey, see any treasonous individuals in this picture? Asking for a friend!
[Somebody want to wake up Paul Ryan? Anybody?]
Apparently US Representative Mark Pocan (D-WI) has invited House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Democratic opponent, Randy Bryce, to tonight’s State of the Union address as his guest. It’s not unusual for members of Congress to make political statements with their choice of guests, so this shouldn’t be that big a deal. But it has US […]
MKE Common Council Reaffirms Its Hypocrisy!
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn abruptly announced his resignation on Monday effective February 16th after having completed ten years of service to Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Police Department. His tenure wasn’t without controversy but he made some significant changes on how the police department was organized and introduced new technology and new methods of […]
Damn Those Federal Mandated Insurance Programs!
One of the slams on the Affordable Care Act by the GOP are the mandates requiring Americans to buy health insurance.

But […]
