Yesterday evening, the daily email from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel arrived to provide links to the new stories of the day on their website, JSOnline. The lead story was one about Governor Tony Evers secretly recording a closed door meeting with GOP leadership, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority…

No, not Senator Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden…but President Donald Trump! Apparently yesterday’s primaries put him over the top and he’s crowing about it in his fundraising emails. President Trump has officially been named your 2020 Presumptive Republican Nominee for President of the United States. He has always said that…

Fair is fair here. It appears that both House leadership and White House staff are looking to fix and clarify a few issues in the coronavirus bill that the House passed last week…and that the president tweeted his support. And I dinged the Senate for taking the weekend off and…

Well if you do, look it over very carefully. This was just posted on Facebook and although it resembles an official document…and the 2020 Census is just getting underway…it’s a piece of literature from the Republican Party.

I am not singling out this video from Twitter but it brought this thought back to mind that I have had many many times before when viewing similar videos…and not only in Washington but Madison as well. When these policy speeches are being made, are there other legislators actually on…

WTF? After denying any wrong doing and originally pleading not-guilty to charges of misuse of campaign funds, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R- CA) is accepting a plea deal on one count. But it isn’t apparent if he’ll resign from the House of Representatives. Hunter and his wife were charged last summer…

And this in nearly the last person we would consider for governor of Wisconsin: Less than a year into Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ first term, the Republican field to challenge him is already shaping up.   State Sen. Chris Kapenga is the latest Republican to openly consider running for governor in 2022,…
