TMJ4's Election-Fraud-ish Friends

No, TMJ4 is not "balanced," nor "fair" in their reporting.

But you don't have to watch their reporter-ettes telling you that "roads are raaaaacissss!"

You can examine their syphilitic bed-partner instead.

TMJ4 partners with Wisconsin Watch

The topic of that article is irrelevant.   

What IS relevant?  Finding ways by which foreigners can finance political campaigns--like the Harris campaign.  Note that "Wisconsin Watch" is right in the middle of this campaign.

While the Federal Election Commission does prohibit foreign nationals from making monetary donations and contributions to U.S. campaigns directly, it does explicitly allow foreign nationals to volunteer for campaigns as long as they are uncompensated. Unfortunately, the FEC does not account for donation loopholes, which are currently being propagated throughout the Harris-Walz Discord server.

The Harris-Walz staff are clearly teaching foreigners how to skirt FEC regulations.

Maintaining The Empire is EXPENSIVE!

 Wauck notes that the Rand Corp did a study on The Empire.  They were not pleased.

Rand is a NeoCon/Leftish bunch.  To them, the New World Order (Anglo-American Empire) is a must.  So they have recommendations!

   

The United States faces the most challenging global environment with the most severe ramifications since the end of the Cold War. The trends are getting worse, not better.

    DoD cannot, and should not, provide for the national defense by itself. The NDS calls for an “integrated deterrence” that is not reflected in practice today. A truly “all elements of national power” approach is required to coordinate and leverage resources across DoD, the rest of the executive branch, the private sector, civil society, and U.S. allies and partners.

    …

    The NDS force-sizing construct is inadequate for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges. We propose a Multiple Theater Force Construct—with the Joint Force, in conjunction with U.S. allies and partners—sized to defend the homeland and tackle simultaneous threats in the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East.

    U.S. industrial production is grossly inadequate to provide the equipment, technology, and munitions needed today, let alone given the demands of great power conflict.

    The DoD workforce and the all-volunteer force provide an unmatched advantage. However, recruiting failures have shrunk the force and raise serious questions about the all-volunteer force in peacetime, let alone in major combat. The civilian workforces at DoD and in the private sector also face critical shortfalls.

    The Joint Force is at the breaking point of maintaining readiness today. Adding more burden without adding resources to rebuild readiness will cause it to break.

    The United States must spend more effectively and more efficiently to build the future force, not perpetuate the existing one. Additional resources will be necessary. Congress should pass a supplemental appropriation to begin a multiyear investment in the national security innovation and industrial base. Additionally, Congress should revoke the 2023 Fiscal Responsibility Act spending caps and provide real growth for fiscal year 2025 defense and nondefense national security spending that, at bare minimum, falls within the range recommended by the 2018 NDS Commission. Subsequent budgets will require spending that puts defense and other components of national security on a glide path to support efforts commensurate with the U.S. national effort seen during the Cold War.

If you didn't notice, that means there will be a draft in addition to unlimited "defense" spend over the next couple of decades.

Most of us will ask:  WHOSE empire?  When did Russia and China declare that they're going to take over the rest of the world?

Don't look for answers.

Your Betters will decide it for you.

Not Garbage. 'An Infection', Sez Kammy

 The Enlightened Ones have an opinion about you.

...In 2021 Kamala told German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Donald Trump and his supporters were "an illness just beneath the skin" and a "bubbling up of a contagion."...

 Is it progress to go from infection to garbage?

A Cleansing in Cincinnati

 Good news.  He should not be the only one, but.......

The archbishop of Cincinnati is ending a 110-year relationship with Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) due to the group promoting gender ideology “contrary” to Catholic teaching.

Archbishop Dennis Schnurr announced that pastors in the archdiocese must discontinue any partnerships with GSUSA by December 2025.

“The Archdiocese of Cincinnati cannot partner with an organization that, from its highest level, advocates ideas which the Church considers false and harmful,” Schnurr wrote...

And--if you haven't noticed--their new 'woke' cookie recipes are just awful.

Virginia Wins Voter Battle

 SCOTUS, 6-3.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the way for Virginia to remove 1,600 individuals from its voter rolls ahead of Election Day, overturning a previous lower court decision that had blocked the effort....

Not to worry, Democrats!!  Your massive vote-cheat in PA may work.

The (D) Party Family Tree

 

Bring It, Bitch!

 Yes, the language here is getting stronger.

Harris:  

..."This election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different candidates," she said. "It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos and division."...

"Chaos and division" which your orcs will create and implement.

Bring it, bitch.

"Garbage" Remarks and Adam Rife

 Adam Rife managed to find a couple of Puerto Rican individuals who are cranked up about some comic's "garbage" remarks.  (Most of the Puerto Rican community is laughing about the joke.)

But Adam Rife didn't have the time to find a couple of Trump supporters who would react to "President" Biden's comment---that any Trump supporter is "garbage."

Rife is .....ahhh..........hysterical......over the coming Trump victory.

Georgia to Globalists: "Stuff It Up Yours!"

 The COUNTRY of Georgia.

...The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them.  Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party.   They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament....

That's not what the "press" is saying, of course.

 ...Western press reports with shameless authority that the election was ‘stolen’ despite no credible evidence....Simplicius quoted at Vox

And the principal opponent of Georgia Dream says that the election was "a Russian operation."

Doesn't look like Hillary, but hey.......when the CIA and the State Department fail, it's gotta be the Russkies!!

Why Vote?

 Vox caught this and it should be spread around.

Europe Gets the Flop-Sweats Over Trump

The Euroweenies are concerned.

... the bloc has set up a rapid reaction force to prepare for the fallout of the elections, colloquially known as the “Trump task force.” The EU wants to hit back hard on trade if Trump wins.

Trump has warned that he won’t defend “delinquent” NATO allies spending less than 2 percent of GDP on defense. And he has threatened to slap 10 to 20 percent tariffs on all imports to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. On Thursday, Trump called the EU a “mini China.”

“They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farm products, don’t take anything. You have a $312 billion deficit with the EU. You know, the EU is a mini — but not so mini — is a mini China,” he said....

Stuff your grapes right up your ass, France.....

As to Britain:  maybe Trump will send dentists as a humanitarian gesture.

Harris' Unspeakable Inhumanity To Children

 Under the "Border Czar"'s watch....

...HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, responsible for the care of UACs [Unaccompanied Children], was repeatedly found to be negligent by Office of Inspector General investigations. Congressional investigations uncovered allegations of abuse, as well as HHS ORR losing track of more than 100,000 UACs. A Florida grand jury found that UACs were sent to poorly or not vetted sponsors, to live with gang members, those with criminal records and to non-residential addresses and were allegedly abused....

THIS is what the Democrat Party--the Pervert/Communist Cabal--wants.  This is NOT an 'accident.'

The Democrats remain the Party of Slavery, Perversion, and Murder (think their KKK history.)  No wonder Tulsi Gabbard and RFKjr bailed out.

Dems Hire 10,000++ Election Lawyers

Notice the spin they give here.

...More than 400 lawyers have been hired to draft legal memos in preparation for possible litigation, according to the Wall Street Journal, with thousands of pages already filed. About 10,000 lawyers are also at the ready in crucial swing states with more specific knowledge of each state’s rules.

The Democratic National Committee spent nearly $22 million on lawyers this election cycle as of the summer, according to an analysis conducted by the outlet of recent federal campaign finance records....

... “It’s really just making sure we have systems in place—which we do—to monitor what Republicans are doing everywhere,” Remus told the newspaper. “As soon as they file a case, as soon as they start saying election results can’t be trusted, we are prepared to respond.”...

Sure.  Yup.  Right-O, honey!

They're hired to make damn sure that the election will not be settled.

And you know what happens then, right?

Tucker Rants!

Tucker finally lets loose and rants about the pervert/Communist "weak men and unhappy women" class.  (Yes, that includes you, Tony Evers.)

Best line?

"At some point, Dad comes home, and he's pissed."

Too bad that he asks for "justice."  We all know that won't happen.

 

Tammy Gets Pissy-Faced With CNN

 Goodness gracious, Li'l Tammy has secrets!

...In an interview with CNN, the outlet showed a clip from a “2009 hearing” where Baldwin stated she was in favor of disclosing “her then domestic partner’s financial information.”

Baldwin has faced calls from her Republican Senate opponent, Eric Hovde, to disclose her partner, Maria Brisbane’s, assets. Brisbane, who founded the Brisbane Group, works as a wealth adviser with Morgan Stanley and as an Adjunct Professor of Finance at the Columbia Business School.

“How do you reconcile that?” Baldwin was asked by the CNN host.

“Yeah, so, I don’t particularly want to talk about my past life,” Baldwin answered. “But, we have a domestic — we had a domestic law here in Wisconsin, and my ex and I, were legally domestic partners. That’s not the case in my current situation.”...

The "current situation"?  Brisbane is a live-in, not a legal 'domestic partner,' nor a legal 'spouse.'

Smart move, Tammy!!  Avoid all that fiddle-faddle of reporting!

  ...When asked if Baldwin’s partner should just go ahead and “disclose” her financial assets and clients, Baldwin responded by saying, “absolutely not” and calling for people to “stay out of” her personal life.

“Should she just not disclose it?” the CNN host asked. “Put this to rest. Disclose of her assets, disclose her clients, just to keep them….”

“Absolutely not,” Baldwin interjected....

Li'l Tammy knows that her gravely disordered "personal life" has nothing to do with it.  Li'l Tammy knows that pillow talk with her live-in lover is likely to be............ahhh..........ethically compromising, at the very least.  So she gets all huffy and pretends it's prurient interest.

... I disclose everything that I’m legally required to disclose.”...

And not a damn thing more.

They Have ONE Issue

 Kamala, Baldwin, and a bunch of state-level Democrats.

ONE issue:  the license to kill their babies.

More on the WaPo "Nope"

The labyrinth is even more labyrinth-ey.

 Victoria Nuland’s husband, Robert Kagan, has resigned as the Editor at Large from the Washington Post....

Should that mean something?  Yes.  Yes, indeed.

...Everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth....

Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump....

So far, the CIA has failed twice--that we know of.

The NeoCons, who would have the entire US Army fighting in Ukraine and Israel if they could, are seeing the end of their days as power players.  Kagan's puerile quit--combined with his wife's position--telegraphs that fact.

(Billy Kristol's Fox Point butt-boy, the once-influential Charlie Sykes, is the local representative in that drama.  It's why Sykes read the questions Kamala gave him--and no others--at the small venue in Brookfield.) 

But they won't quit trying.  Failing to kill Trump, they'll join Deep Throat State Kamala in an attempt to overthrow the election;  that's already promised by Cong. Jamie Raskin:

... Raskin pledged to purposefully trigger a civil war within the United States if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.   Raskin is prepared to work with Democrats and block any certification of any vote that has President Trump declared the winner....

 Failing that, they'll instigate and fuel riots across the country.

Be prepared. 

Optimistic Grim? Maybe.

Grim has been around the block a few times.  He's optimistic about WW Whichever but he's not being an idiot about it.

... the Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel demonstrated a capacity to cause damage that Israel cannot prevent even with US efforts. Last night's strikes by Israeli F-35s demonstrated a parallel capacity that Iran cannot stop. Both parties stopped short of damaging their opponents' energy sector -- Israel has only a handful of major power plants; Iran's oil and gas fields, its shipping ports, and also its nuclear technology facilities are likewise vulnerable. Both sides now know their opponent can hurt them fatally if it decides to do so; both sides also know that doing so will not disable the enemy's reprisal blow, as the time delay between suffering the damage and dying will not prevent the counterstrike from occurring. They are both heavily incentivized to stop fighting, according to the once-doubtful logic of Mutually Assured Destruction...

That's one of the two.

... if the election here brings about a regime that will seek peace in Ukraine on terms at least minimally acceptable to Russia, the closing of that theater will also reduce pressure on the Middle East. The Houthi could lose their capability to effectively close the Red Sea; weapons shipments to Hamas and Hezbollah could be reduced; the proxies themselves are badly degraded already. The war could close with minimal Russian gains in Ukraine balanced by massive strategic losses in manpower and equipment, with Iran's proxy war network exhausted for years, and Israel relatively secure but newly chastened about its ability to escalate without consequences. ...

The upshot, according to Grim?

Peace is at hand. Maybe...

Not being an idiot about it!

Is England Really "an Ally"?

 We've all been through the grade-school, high-school, and college "History" and "PolySci" courses which lionize the British (after those unfortunate incidents in the 1770's and 1814) for being a staunch ally--if not THE ally--of the United States.  Even Ronald Reagan believed that.

So why is British Intel interfering in US domestic affairs by attempting to limit Free Speech?

...here's what I mean about the UK subverting what remains of our democracy: The British intelligence front group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), is a British and American funded effort to censor Americans, starting with Enemy Number One, Elon Musk.

Oh, and they also ran "black ops" (as they themselves called them) against RFKJr.

These are foreign nationals....

 Maybe those bloody bastards need another reminder of the King's impotence.

The Fraud Is NOT in "Drop-box Security"

Don't you love watching the reporters stare at the locks on vote drop-boxes, and then show you the security routines surrounding drop-boxes?

If you do, you also love watching "SQUIRRELS!!!" and Shiny Objects.

The fraud is NOT in the drop-boxes.

....Prosecutors in Lancaster County [PA] said Friday they had uncovered a large-scale scheme to submit fraudulent voter applications that were collected at shopping malls and other locations. Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams told a news conference that detectives have found about 60% of some 2,500 voter registrations submitted in recent days to the county's election office were fraudulent....

One-time, one-off, no big.  Right?

Wrong.

 ...The scheme uncovered in Lancaster County mirrors a similar operation that Michigan police investigated in 2020 in Muskegon that was referred to the FBI, which has yet to announce any arrests or charges.

In August 2023, the Michigan attorney general's office confirmed that there was a state investigation into thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registrations during the 2020 election. That investigation was referred to the FBI, the Bridge Michigan reported....

Well, that's only two States, and not Wisconsin.  Right?

Wrong.

A privately-funded election integrity outfit purchased Wisconsin's 'Registered Voter' database.  They claim that absentee ballots were requested from addresses with the following defects:

 

2,777 permanently moved out of state 

2,325 address not deliverable and not found in the USPS database 

7,571 incorrect or missing secondary (missing APT #5 for example) 513 door not accessible 

976 single receptacle drop for mail for all residents at same physical address 

97 No secure location at all to leave mail 

13 Registered to a US Post Office Street address 

1,251 vacant for more than 90 days (person not receiving mail for more than 90 days, not necessarily an empty house) 

31 Registered to a commercial address such as a UPS, Fedex store 

 There are other problems; see the link.

IF ballots were requested from those addresses, filled out, and placed in a drop-box, there's very good reason to question Wisconsin's "election integrity."

But but but but The Drop-Box was locked!!!

Whatever.

Favre's Absolutely Right

Brett Favre will show up in Green Bay with Donald Trump.

...'I wouldn't even call myself a Republican, or Democrat or Independent -- I just know what I believe in. I think that the people that are in this country should come first. The care, and the focus, and the vision should be on bettering the people in this country and I don't know if that's the case now.' ...

Hard to take exception with that.

(You can expect that the press will be inserting paragraphs about Favre's "money scandal" and "Parkinson's/dementia" when they describe the event, just like they inserted paragraphs about "First Slugger" Emhoff's domestic abuse problem when he showed up in Milwaukee. Yah.  That's the ticket!!  Just like that.)

$300 Million in Free Food?

 That's a lot of pizza.

State superintendent Dr. Jill Underly and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction announced they're calling for universal free meals for students across the state.

Underly proposed a nearly $300 million nutritional program to increase the access of healthy meals for Wisconsin students....

Every kid in every school gets breakfast and lunch.  But it's not "free."  Anyone who pays State income tax pays for it.

Moving on:  Why "free" food for everyone?

 ....According to the DPI's 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, more than a quarter of Wisconsin high school students reported being hungry due to a lack of food at home....

Really?  

1)  If you had a teenager in the house, you've noticed that they are always hungry.   

2)  What is a "lack of food"?  Define every term in that phrase, please. 

3)  Did the survey cross-check with the adults in those homes?  Why was there "a lack of food"?

That's what "educators" call a "study."  No wonder Johnny can't read.  Send "Dr. Jill" back to her cubicle.

How Trump PO'd POS Gen. Kelly

Yah, Kelly is a POS.

How did Trump manage to piss him off so much that he'd lie, lie, lie, and lie like Hell?

Easy.

He brought EM's to the White House direct from 'stan.  And he asked them "What do you need?  What do you think of the progress?"......and other questions that Kelly and his High Ranking Fools didn't approve of.

When Trump learned--from the EM's--what was going on, he made changes which also displeased the High and Mighty Incompetents & Grifters crowd.

I wish I had video of those sessions.......

DHS Notified Aurora About Tren de Aragua

.........and the Feds notified Colorado, Denver, and Aurora.

A YEAR AGO.

....Federal law enforcement and immigration officials with the Biden-Harris government—along with state and local officials in Colorado—knew the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), intended to make Denver its headquarters in the United States in November of 2023. According to government emails obtained by Aurora, Colorado, city council member Danielle Jurinsky, the city’s police department received intelligence from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the gang’s presence and intentions in their city and nearby Denver.

“Here is the Tren De Aragua bulletin I plan on sending out department wide tomorrow. I added the intel from HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] that Sgt Bungartz received today,” wrote Aurora police officer Matthew Walters on November 16, 2023,...

Remember all that lying, whining, and mewling from the Mayor of Aurora and the Governor of Colorado?

Lesson here?  

Don't trust your State and local officials to tell you the truth.  About anything.  Ever.

Think They'll Do It?

RFK, jr:

...Biden/Harris have just pushed through DoD Directive 5240.01 giving the Pentagon power -- for the first time in history -- to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies....

Which US service member is going to shoot-to-kill their Dad, Mom, or Granny?

And which one(s) are stupid enough to rile up 150 million well-armed Trump-backers who will be fighting on their home grounds?

Well........."Stupid" brings to mind Gen. Kelly and the traitor Gen. Milley Vanilley.

Like documentation?

Free Translation Service!!

 To members of the Tren de Aragua criminal syndicate:  this post is a free English-Spanish translation!

When you see a yard-sign for "Harris-Walz" or "Baldwin", the proper Spanish translation is this:

Free Bed-and-Breakfast for Tren de Aragua Members Here!!

Act accordingly.

AG Kaul Raids Mayor's Home

 Another slice of Wisconsin news not covered in MKE.

The Federalist reported Democrat Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul’s Department of Justice raided the home and office of conservative Wausau Mayor Doug Diny in connection to Diny’s removal of an unsecured absentee ballot drop box...

...law enforcement officials took cell phones and other electronic devices supposedly relevant to the investigation. That included Diny’s wife’s cell phone, the source said....

Earlier this year, Diny noticed that the ballot drop-box outside City Hall was not secured.  At all.

So he took it up to his office until security arrangements could be made.

Wisconsin's Attorney General--Josh Kaul--was trained by the most heinous Democrat election lawyer in the country.  But that's just co-incidence, of course.

"Your Vote Is Secure" Or Maybe Not

As usual, the "reporters" ask the wrong question; then they get the answer that is irrelevant.

Here is actually relevant:

...MyVote is Wisconsin’s statewide online portal that allows voters to register to vote and request absentee ballots. An individual can request an absentee ballot through MyVote by providing a Wisconsin voter’s name and birth date, which can be sent to any address. The plaintiffs argue that MyVote’s current system does not have an adequate cybersecurity system in place to prevent unauthorized individuals from requesting another voter’s absentee ballot....

Voter ID?  Huh?  What's that?

Your vote is irrelevant when thousands of ballots go out to ghosts, dead bodies, and various other 'names' with 'birth dates.'

Let's not forget "Americans living overseas" votes.  Seems that the Democrats want to gin up 9 million votes from the 2.8 million voters living overseas.  Since there are ZERO identification requirements, it's not a pipe dream.

But go ahead.  Feel good.  Your vote is "secure."

Harris: 'To Hell With Religion'

 We have remarked that hers is the religion of Satan.  She proves it every day.

...Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris said that religious exemptions on providing abortion would not be on the table for her because we shouldn’t “be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.”...

You could argue that hers is the religion of Moloch, I suppose.

You do note that her bloodthirst rests on a fundamental flaw:  it is not "her" body that's in danger.

The Father of Lies is pleased. 

UPDATE:  Grim has a lot more on the issue.

The "NEVER NEVER NEVER" Tax Crowd. Seriously??

 It's somewhat amusing to read the NEVER TAX bunch, and to listen to Belling screech the same old song that he's screeched for ......what..........40 years?  At least he doesn't have to write original material, and listening to his show on occasion lately proves that beyond a doubt.  But we digress.

Since the screaming commenced, we called our Supervisor and asked what the Hell is going on.

And we got a perfectly rational answer!!

The County can NOT impose a sales tax of less than .05% by State law, and none of our Leggies think that they can change the law to give counties flexibility--i.e., a .01% or .02% tax.  The Leggies may be wrong, and they may be lazy, but it is what it is.  Light a fire under Robin Vos' ass and maybe you'll get somewhere.  Maybe.  Robin exacts a big price for his Imperial Favors, ya'know.

The County is at its levy limit for property taxes.  Cannot raise those, either.  So on the revenue side, there is one and only one solution other than "fees" (which have not been discussed).  More on that later.

Spend side?

The Sheriff can operate with less people, of course.  Maybe only 2-3 deputies.  But since the Sheriff is also the local LEO for (among others) the City of Pewaukee, and provides services such as 'check on good old Sam who fell down/hasn't been heard from/may be having a coronary' for Waukesha County as a whole, you get to pick:  help the local cops stop the Milwaukee Kia boy driving up Brookfield Road blowing past the grade school there (still at 90)--or check on 'good old Sam,' who could be your father?  You say your kid walks home from that school on Brookfield Road?  Oh, well.

We invest a lot of money into training those deputies, but not into paying them later on.  They find better pay elsewhere---they go.  You "capitalists" can't complain about that, can you?

Like paved highways and roads?  So do we.  Check asphalt prices lately?  Bidenomics did a number on that, just like Bidenomics did a number on the price of gasoline and diesel.  Now then, the County's diesel trucks plow the roads.........but hey!  Let's cut back on that silly stuff.  You all have snowblowers--so get out there and use 'em.  Look at the pix from the Milwaukee blizzard of '47? ( '48)?  Yup.  Those are Milwaukee citizens shoveling the streets. (Belling's City of Milwaukee will take care of his street in the meantime--and if they don't he'll have another Old Chestnut to pull out of his archives.)

Want to cut back on the parks?  The programs offered in Adult Ed?  OK.  You pick the park to turn into a subdivision and/or which program to cut.  See how that plays.  Maybe that's a good option.

The "tax committee" did what they could, but their essay does not mention fees.  Were they considered?  For what services?  How much could be raised by--say--tripling the County Parks sticker fee?  Or hitting residents for $200.00 every time they're in contact with a Deputy (other than a crime-scene?)  How about a wheel tax?  That can be fine-tuned to hit the revenue required, right?

Or is this just a bunch of bitching because there is NO GOOD TAX.  EVER.  ANYWHERE.???

Look far enough back on this blog, and you'll find we don't like taxes.

But we're not .......ahhh........idiots about it.

Harris Brookfield Event--Some Questions

When you come right down to it, the Harris-Cheney-Sykes event in Brookfield was merely a Shiny Object.

First off, the Wilson arts center is a very small venue; the theater holds 600.  Since there were no shots of the audience, we can assume it was .........not exactly full.

Second, a telling graf from Channel 58:

...There was some policy discussion between Harris and Cheney, particularly on the subjects of health care, abortion and foreign policy. However, most of the conversation, which was moderated by former conservative radio host Charlie Sykes, focused on Mr. Trump's personality....

That was led by Charlie "Three-Wives" Sykes?  Hmmmm.

UPDATE:  In a similar event in PA., the 'moderator' was given a list of acceptable questions.  The news report from that event states that the questions largely avoided policy matters and went instead toward Trump's personality.  S'pose the "hard news" guy--Sykes--did what he was told to do on those questions?  (Hint:  You bet your ass; the news report here said exactly the same thing about the Q&A.)  So much for Sykes' creds.

They had the usual banner:  "Country Over Party."

That leads to the question:  Whose country?  The Ukraine?  Israel?  California?

Failing campaign, irrelevant ex-Congressbabe and "moderator," small crowd......

SQUIRREL!!!!!

 

Trolling, Trolling, Over the Golden Arch

 

Transitioning Towards the End of the Deep State

This will warm the hearts of any actual American.

...For election 2024, President Trump’s transition team is now saying they are likely to go it alone and skip any federal transition assistance in advance of inauguration day.  That decision is making the deepest parts of the Deep State apparatus very nervous. That decision has major ramifications and could, likely would, include the incoming Trump administration setting up offices outside Washington DC....

IOW, they're not going to 'team up' with the Deep State bureaucrats normally involved with the transition process.

That means the Deep State bureaucrats worms, chiggers, ticks, and bloodsuckers will not have any input into the questions of "Who Stays" and "Who Goes."

Heh. 

Boozing Is Back!!

Interesting little chart here.  Drinking is coming back!

Jay Heck, Lying??

 As usual, the Extreme Left makes assertions that it cannot prove.  Usually, that's called "LYING."

Opponents of Wisconsin’s November ballot proposal are intensifying efforts to dissuade voters from approving the measure meant to prevent non-citizens from voting.

Currently, the Wisconsin constitution states that “Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district” is a qualified voter; the ballot proposal would replace the phrase “every United States citizen” with “only a United States citizen.”

Executive Director of Common Cause Wisconsin Jay Heck painted the initiative as a conspiracy-driven effort.

“Republicans, under the control and manipulation of Donald Trump, are hoping to frighten more people to the polls by raising the possibility of undocumented immigrants illegally voting – even though they can’t and don’t,” Heck said in a statement.....

Sure, Jay.  The speed limit sign says 35, so you can't and don't drive 36?  

Can you hear yourself, Jay?

You have no idea whether non-citizens are voting, because "voting" is not the issue.  Ballots are the issue.  When a "registered voter" requests a ballot by mail, no one checks their papers, Jay.  The ballot (not "the voter") comes back and is processed.

"Can't and don't".  Sure.  Let's see your driving record, Jay.

The Truth From Lizzo

Some singer named Lizzo tells us that "America will look just like Detroit" if Kamala is elected.

Your future with Kamala: (plenty more at the link, especially the video)

 

 

 

Kammy and Tammy Rip Off Seniors

 Ignore the "Tammy loves us" stuff.  Look at the reality--which applies to Kammy, too.

...Inflation is wreaking havoc on seniors, but the Biden-Harris response has been woefully negligent. Their solution was the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). They promised seniors that prices would come down if it passed. ...They rammed it through Congress with Harris’ tie-breaking vote delivering it to Joe Biden to sign into law. However,...the IRA stole hundreds of billions from Medicare to subsidize electric vehicles, benefiting the Chinese manufacturers.... The IRA was never about lowering costs for seniors....

So, seniors’ bills got even bigger. The IRA caused a massive spike in Medicare premiums. Thanks to Biden and Harris [and Tammy Baldwin], seniors faced a staggering 20 percent increase this year, with projections indicating an additional 50 percent increase next year—or potentially even higher....

Tammy voted FOR this.  Kammy voted FOR this. 

Due to some last-minute fund-fudging, that increase in Medicare premiums scheduled for this year will not happen until after the election--of course.  Kammy & Tammy want you ignorant of what they actually did. 

Now you know. 

Used Car Prices? Going UP!!

 Wolf pays attention to the car marketplace.

...Retail inventory of used vehicles at the start of October dipped to 2.15 million units, well below the 2019 range of 2.8 million to 3.0 million vehicles, and about 27% below September 2019, according to data from Cox Automotive today....

[During CoVid]  ...Supply to the used vehicle market of 2-to-3-year-old vehicles comes largely from rental fleets that take units out of service, lease returns when 2 or 3-year leases mature, and regular trade-ins. But this supply pipeline was severely disrupted at the beginning of the pipeline by the new-vehicle production cuts due to the semiconductor shortages. From Q2 2021 through Q1 2023, automakers sold 6 million fewer new vehicles than over the same period before the pandemic. These 6 million units didn’t go into the pipeline toward the used vehicle market and are now not coming out at the other end.

So in terms of future retail prices, this is not a good inventory situation. Dealers will be motivated to bid up auction prices to replenish their tight inventories...

Get that cute little 3-year-old now.  It won't be as easy in February.

The New Old Saying

Surber gives us a new Old Saying!

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and anything the deep state says.

Good, because I really didn't like statistics whichever time I took it.

Kamala's Single MOST Stupid Remark

 In what she thought was a wisecrack, Kamala made the single most stupid remark in her entire campaign.

About 20 minutes into Harris' speech, [in LaCrosse, WI.] a number of attendees were escorted out, while shouting "Jesus is Lord" at those around them.

 ...Harris stopped her remarks and countered. "Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally," she said....

Harris is right, by the way.  Those kids were at the wrong Party's rally.  

The video she sent to the Al Smith dinner mocking Catholics lines up perfectly with her remark, as did Gov. Whitmer's blasphemous mockery of Catholics' Holy Communion.   

You don't have to be Catholic to understand that Kamala's Party is totally anti-Christian, as she made clear with her offhand wisecrack.  Hers is the Party of killing babies right up until (and after) birth.  Hers is the Party which is creepily friendly to child porn.  Hers is the Party which believes that boys can be girls and girls can be boys, contrary to the design of Nature's God. 

Harris' Party is the Party of Satan.  And Kamala just affirmed that.  Tammy Baldwin--and all the rest of her Party's bigwigs--must have had heart attacks.

That brings up the question:  how can "Catholic" and "Christian" prelates support Kamala's Party after she made it clear that Christians are in the wrong room when they're at her rally?

The single most stupid campaign remark?

She just made it.

Now let's see which Cardinals, Bishops, priests, nuns, and Protestant ministers continue to support Kamala's "Not Jesus" Party.

Vox comments further. 

Walgreen Tells Truth: It's a CRIME Problem

We knew that the Walgreen's on 27th/National was going to close due to crime, but Walgreen avoided mentioning that in their formal press release of a few days ago.

But the store closed yesterday--a few weeks early--and Walgreen stepped up and told the truth.  It's crime, pure and simple; something about which the local alderwoman did nothing.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada. In the video, a customer acknowledges the crime problem.

Another customer--who may not be able to read very well--rants and raves about the closing, declaring that she will not be able to obtain her prescription.  Really?  She's shaking her fist at the pharmacist behind the drive-in window WHICH IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND WHICH ALSO SERVES WALK-UP CUSTOMERS.

The woman is obviously a Milwaukee Public Schools graduate.....

Fox6 Disappoints

Generally speaking, Fox6 News has been fair in its politics coverage.

Not this time.

After reading a few grafs, we scrolled up to find the author, and it was Scott "I'm a Communist" Bauer--who was so biased that even the Journal-Sentinel couldn't keep him on their staff.

Need an example of Bauer's deceptive scribbling?

...Hovde previously said he supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but now says he would not vote for a federal ban on abortion. Instead, he says, states should decide. That is a change of position from 2012, when Hovde last ran for Senate as someone "totally opposed" to abortion....

 Bauer's analysis is wrong.  Hovde can be "totally opposed" to abortion AND at the same time not vote for a Federal ban.  Bauer hopes you are stupid enough to believe his bullshit.

The Democrats Babykillers also lie about Trump's intentions; Trump has repeatedly insisted that he would not propose, nor sign, a Federal abortion ban.

Lying.  It's what Bauer and the (D)'s do.

Too bad Fox6 runs that stuff.

The (D)'s Now Threatening MAGA Folk?

Hasn't happened here.  Yet.

The story is half-credible.  Could be entirely made up by the alleged victim; could be a false-flag op.

But it also could be true.

A new report confirms that the dirty tricks appearing in the 2024 presidential election race now include threatening letters sent to supporters of President Donald Trump.

The letters say, “Your vote for this guy is seen as treading on my rights. You tread on me at your peril…” and then adds an obscenity.

“We look forward to visiting in the future,” the letter, signed by “Patriotic citizen and a true American,” threatens.

It is the Post Millennial that reports the letters have been appearing in the Philadelphia region....

Wait.......wait!!  It's Trump who is the terror-and-violence guy, right?

 ...Then the threats surface: “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” “There is no knowing what may happen,” and “Your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot.”

The letter rants: “Your candidate is a felon, rapist, desecrator, an immoral flawed man. He is major reason (sic) violence us (sic) up, remember January 6th and Charlottesville? By supporting him you are declaring your public support for a disregard of the law, civil discourse, and unity. You are indicating your hatred for minorities, immigrants, foreigners, women, education, the rights of your fellow citizens, the rights of women to make decisions of their own healthcare needs. Oh and yes a hatred for Taylor Swift, who has contributed nothing but joy to the world.”...

We're not sure that this story is accurate.

But then, neither were the "results" of the '20 election.

Breitbart's "403" Loser

 Apparently Breitbart's management decided that people shouldn't read their stories.  Hit a link, get "403 Forbidden"

The same applies to their "Contact Us" link.

OK.  We can take a hint.

ATTAGIRL!! to U of Nevada VolleyLadies!

These women get it-and deserve praise.

The University of Nevada Women’s volleyball team has remained defiant in their decision to forfeit the match against a team with a transgender player despite the school’s insistence they go through with it....

...Sia Liillii, a senior and team captain for Nevada, said that the team will not meet San Jose State on the court....

Good on you!  Corragio!!

Here's the gutless simpering stupidity of the University:

... “The University and its athletic programs are governed by the Nevada Constitution and Nevada law, which strictly protect equality of rights under the law, and that equality of rights shall not be denied or abridged by this state or any of its subdivisions on account of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry or national origin,”...

However, the University will not punish its athletes who boycott the match.

Martha Raddatz: "It's Just a Little Blood. No Big Deal"

It is reported that Martha Raddatz saw the (below) picture of a Colorado apartment manager after he spent some 'quality time' with Tren de Aragua gang members.  

Raddatz remarked that "It's just a little blood, a sign of affection from Tren de Aragua.  No big deal."

We may have made that up.

Israel Bombs Catholic Church

No matter what propaganda is out there, remember that Israel does NOT have clean hands.

 On Wednesday night, October 9, an Israeli air attack destroyed Saint George’s church in Dardghaya, in Southern Lebanon, reported the “Aid to the Church in Need” (ACN) organization. This church, which belonged to the Melkite Greek-Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre, not only was destroyed but the parish’s offices and the local priest’s residence were also lost. Moreover, the adjacent rooms, which were being used as refuge for displaced people given the crisis in the region, were also reached by missiles. The attack left at least eight dead, among them five members of the Civil Defense Rescue Team....

IDF will tell the world that the church was crawling with Hezbollah terrorists.

Sure.  Uh-huh.  No doubt.

The Growing Real Estate Problem

This is not surprising at all.

The extent to which demand for existing homes has collapsed and remains collapsed is astounding, but ultimately not surprising: Demand plunged in 2022 when mortgage rates soared, and plunged a lot further in 2023 as mortgage rates continued to rise to almost 8% by October 2023. But then as mortgage rates dropped starting in November, and kept dropping in 2024, demand stayed at these collapsed levels through September, despite mortgage rates having dropped to near 6%. And now that mortgage rates have bounced off the September lows since the rate cut, demand has collapsed further, even as inventories have been rising all year (look below the article at the top of the comments for inventory and supply charts of existing homes and new houses).

And everyone knows why: Prices are too high. 

An acquaintance put his home up for sale several months ago.  He acknowledged that he had priced it slightly above market, but insisted that he 'would get his price' no matter.

We see the "For Sale/FSBO" sign several times a week.

That merry-go-round had to stop sometime.  And it finally did.

Post-Election (D) Violence: Prepared??

 Harris and her party are setting the table.

...on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps.

 She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he’s been subjected to....

 ...Earlier this week, during an audio town hall with Charlamagne Tha God, Harris claimed without a hint of irony that if Trump is elected he’ll use the Department of Justice “as a weapon against his political enemies,” adding, “You know who does that? Dictators do that.” At one point during the show, she agreed with a caller who said Trump will lock “anyone who doesn’t look white into camps,” replying, “You’ve hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well.”...

These are all lies (the natural emission of Democrats) or gross distortions of what Trump has actually stated.

So what?

 ...The purpose of it isn’t just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats [and the Deep State:  CIA, FBI, and State Department] no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric).

Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November....

This is not her first rodeo.

... During the BLM riots in the summer of 2020, Harris herself was out in front egging on the rioters, infamously working to raise bail money for those who had been arrested. Of the protests, she said this in a June 2020 interview with Stephen Colbert: “Everyone beware. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day … They’re not gonna let up, and they should not.”...

Are you prepared?

Tariffs and Milwaukee

There's a lot of stupid (Democrat) talk about Trump and tariffs.

Reality:

...billionaire Howard Lutnick explains how Trump's tariffs will be used as a negotiation tactic to make the U.S. a “bunch of money.” Lutnick shot down the media narrative that tariffs would increase inflation.

“It’s a bargaining chip. We can’t sell a Ford or GM in Europe. You go to Europe, you can’t sell a Ford.

“They’re gonna come and negotiate and their tariffs are gonna come down. And finally, Ford and General Motors are gonna be able to sell in these places. How’s that sound? This is just negotiating strategically.

“When you’re running for office, you make broad statements so people understand you. Tariffs are an amazing tool for the president to use. Use tariffs to build in America. If we want to make it in America, tariff it. We need to protect the American worker....--CNBC interview quoted at Surber

Did I mention "Milwaukee" in the title of this post?

Yes.  Yes, I did.  And there are a couple thousand people here who should LOVE tariffs......

Reagan saved Harley-Davidson by slapping a tariff on certain Japanese motorcycles.

You'll never see that (or hear it) in the local "News" these days.  But you saw it here.

Money Where Mouth Is.....

As PowerLine points out, the money is now on Trump.  More important, the trend is, too.
