Democrats Behaving Badly: WI Dems Meddled In GOP State Senate Primary
Wisconsin State Representative Janel Brandtjen is a cancer on state politics and has become a pariah on both sides of the aisle. But given her greed and ambition and the support of a former president it wasn’t surprising that she ran for state senate to replace a retiring GOP stalwart….
So, You’re Okay With Out Of State Money Buying Wisconsin Supreme Court Seats?
The Wisconsin Spring Non-Partisan Primary is this Tuesday, February 21st. For much of the state the only race on the ballot is for an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And there are four candidates running…two conservatives…and two liberals…in a non-partisan race. Supreme Court seats are officially nonpartisan but…
Just the people the Dems should hire to run their campaign advertising:
Blogging Blue: now with Pumpkin Spice! Pumpkin Spice has so totally saturated the fall market place that I even saw ads for products flavored with pumpkin spice in France. And it’s become such a parody item that we now see dozens of posts or ads touting products that have no…
Tough Election Choices But Sticking With My Beliefs
I have written about campaign finance reform a number of times over the years. The United States really needs to address this as we continue to see third party liars and grifters supporting candidates up and down the line. My simple stance? If I can’t vote for you, I can’t…
More Crisis Actors Prop Up Moscow Ron Johnson
These ads have replaced Kevin of Clinton in the third party derby to prop up Moscow Ron’s failing campaign. Now we have the just so huggable Burdie and Steve in Wauwatosa. But I bet these are just crisis actors and they have no idea who Ron Johnson is…and that they…

Incumbent Senator Ron Johnson has complained about the money being spent to support his Democratic opponent, Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes…but I don’t think he’s ever complained abut the tons of third party money spent on his behalf…nor the anonymous faces and companies supposedly among his supporters. At least once a…
National Republican Senatorial Committee is canceling $2 million in campaign ads for Ron Johnson.
Apparently the committee is having money issues but it is surprising that they have decided to cut funding in three ‘key races’…Mehmet Oz, Blake Masters, and Ron Johnson. The most surprising one is Ron Johnson since he is the incumbent while the other two candidates are not. But you have…
Short Form Campaign Finance Reform Outline.
I have posted a number of long form campaign finance reform blogs in the past. Here’s an oldie from 2015 and an update from 2019. But as we roll into the 2022 mid-terms, here’s the short form. The only people who can contribute to a campaign are those who are…
Robin Vos Draws A Republican Primary Opponent.
Despite being the brains behind the troglodyte majority in Madison for years now…and despite instituting one of the most heinous and muffled by a pillow ‘investigations’ into the 2020 presidential elections…Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has drawn an opponent in the Republican primary. Yes some of the biggest Trump apologists in…
Bob Donovan’s Repeat Attempt To Smear Cavalier Johnson.
We recently discussed Milwaukee Mayoral Candidate Bob Donovan’s attempt to smear Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson on social media…a social media thread that his campaign apparently deleted after thinking about it a bit more. But apparently the former alderman isn’t one to easily give up on a favorite line of disinformation….
