Federal Appeals Court Upholds Lower Court Ruling On Extended Absentee Ballot Rules
This is a little arcane! LOL!. But the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago allowed US District Judge William Conley’s ruling on absentee ballots in Wisconsin stand. I complained last week about Judge Conley’s late rulings on all of this…and this isn’t over yet despite it being just weeks…
Next Time Trump Complains About How Long Cabinet Confirmations Are Taking
Show him this post! President Donald Trump tweeted “It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country.” Well…he hasn’t even hit a month in office yet. Meanwhile: First, on the subject of “no” votes, Obama’s cabinet…
You Just Made That Up!
The Young Guns (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor & Kevin McCarthy) have been telling anyone who will listen the regulations is choking the private sector like like Justice David Prosser chokes a woman*(he was mad so it was justified).

From Harry S.Truman to Jimmy Carter, every U.S. president – Republican and Democrat – steadily paid down the debt our nation incurred during our fight against Germany, Japan, and the rest of the Axis powers in World War II, but that pattern came to an end during the presidency of…
How soon they forget
Predictably, some on the far right fringe (and even some mainstream “righties” are in a tizzy about President Obama’s plan to address the nation’s schoolchildren to talk about health care at noon on September 8th. Those conservatives who are whipped into the frenzy at the thought of President Obama using…
