And The Lucky Recount Winners Are? Milwaukee And Dane Counties!
This makes little to no sense…yes the biggest number of Biden votes came from Milwaukee and Dane counties…but yes…they are Democratic strong holds and always go Democratic. The Trump campaign needs to flip 11,000 votes to possibly negate Biden’s lead of nearly 21,000 votes. I don’t think that’s likely to happen here.

Systemic Sexism Invisible In Plain Sight
Today, the New York Times has two very readable and defining articles about women journalists who have moved to the forefront in political reporting and writing. They are Abby Phillip at CNN and Savannah Guthrie at NBC. They are well worth reading and I will link them here:
Savannah Guthrie Is Feeling Lucky: Since […]
Trump Prepared To Offer Wisconsin $3+ Million In Stimulus Money
And the GOP controlled Wisconsin legislature won’t turn it down because it is not taxpayer money…instead it will be purloined from their Republican base.
For the past week or so, the Trump campaign has been threatening to demand a recount of votes in the November 3rd Wisconsin presidential race. An election that former Vice President […]
1960 was my awakening into politics. Although I was aware of President Eisenhower and knew my general American history, it wasn’t until 1960 that I was able to watch and understand how the process worked.
I became enamored by the campaign. I watched and read what I could. I watched as much of each convention […]
Virtual Presidential TV Debates Aren’t A New Idea
Apparently they’ve been around since the very first presidential TV debates. From my local paper’s Today In History feature:
In 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon held the third televised debate for their presidential campaign (Nixon was in Los Angeles , Kennedy was in New York).
emphasis mine
So it seems that a virtual televised […]

Ilhan Omar On SCOTUS And The First Amendment
Amy Coney Barrett, Anti-Catholicism, And The Rule Of Law
It isn’t any wonder that Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett is drawing a lot of scrutiny as she is one of the women on President Donald Trump’s shortlist for appointments to the Supreme Court. And the president has stated on a number of occasions that he plans to nominate a woman.
Judge Barrett […]
How Long To Read The 200,000 Names Of The Dead
One of the most sobering portions of the 9/11 commemoration at the site of the World Trade Center is the reading of the names of the victims who died there…nearly 3,000 people. We must never forget.
I have heard that it takes somewhere between two and a half and three hours to read the names.

Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi…whoops…COVID-19
Four Americans died tragically at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. Congress investigated the incident in considerable depth. I only bring this up because it is apparently trending again.
Yesterday, September 19, 2020, 672 Americans died tragically all across America from COVID-19. Yesterday saw the equivalent of one Benghazi every NINE minutes. […]
