Gracious! What a crowd!!!
A memorial Mass for Pp. Francis at Milwaukee's cathedral attracted "more than 100" people.
That's less than your typical grade-school graduation draws.

If you think Robin Vos will order a Legislative investigation here, you are seriously deluded about Robin Vos' motivations.
Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has discovered a never-before-seen algorithm in the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) voter registration database, leaving no doubt someone has penetrated the WEC’s computer system to impose a criminal reordering on the voter files....
...Paquette first observed that the WEC voter roll had an unusually high number of voter records that ended in zero. Assuming that the WEC voter roll assigned voter ID numbers sequentially, without breaks or outside manipulation, records ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should appear with equal distribution. As seen in Table 1, voter records ending in zero occurred in 30.6 percent of the voter records, while those ending in numbers 1 through 9 ended with each number appearing equally at 7.7 percent of the time....
...Paquette was at a loss to explain this irregularity until he realized that every voter ID record ending in zero had two different Wisconsin voters assigned the same voter ID number. In searching the database, Paquette confirmed that in every case where the same voter ID number was assigned to two different voters, the voter record ended in zero....
Robin is very comfortable in his position and could care less whether Trump or Schimel or Kelly or Hovde was screwed blue and tattooed in an election. Who counts as far as Robin is concerned? ROBIN, dumbass!
The "press" died on this issue years ago. They have no more interest in election fraud than does Robin Vos. They, too, are fat and happy (for the time being.)

Was Shakespeare wrong?
...Starring in the "Resistance" remake are legions of lawyers, dark pestilential princes of the Credentialed Class, who like Mr. Peacham in The Beggar's Opera (1728), work both for rogues and against them, and profit either way. It doesn't matter whether these bookies are conservative or liberal: their first allegiance is to the System that gave them birth and provides them with shelter, clothing, and a great deal of money. "Everyone is entitled to his day in court," they shout, waving writs and injunctions and subpoenas and arguments, not caring a fig that most Americans pray to heaven never to fall into their clutches, to be beggared by their selfless and noble high-mindedness. "We can make the argument that..." are six of the most frightening words in the English language, a prescription which taken to its logical conclusion amounts to personal and cultural penury and suicide. Any sane society would bar them from public office....
You be the judge. *Heh*.
AOSHQ's Sefton brings up a very uncomfortable factoid:
. . . For those keeping score at home:
April 22nd: Spain brags about hitting 100% renewable power.
April 28th: Spain has the nation's largest blackout in history....
Heh.
Here ya go! Your latest "health DOOM" stuff.
Leading health experts have warned that the US is staring down the barrel of another pandemic as bird flu spirals out of control on US farms.
So far, the H5N1 outbreak has affected nearly 1,000 dairy cow herds and resulted in more than 70 human cases, including the first confirmed death.
The US poultry industry is at significant risk, say experts from the Global Virus Network (GVN), particularly in areas with high-density farming and where personal protective practices may be lacking.
Since 2022, more than 168 million poultry in the US has been lost or culled due to the bird flu outbreak in America, which has caused the price of eggs to skyrocket.
Although human-to-human transmission has not yet been observed, experts caution that mutations and reassortments — when two viruses simultaneously infect a host and exchange genetic material — could raise the risk of it occurring. ...
Where the Hell is Scarf Lady when we so desperately need her? That reassuring smile, those remedies!! Masks!!! Distancing!!! Home confinement for months!!
Ah, well. We shall soldier on despite her absence.
Maybe someone can write a DOOM!! DOOM!! DOOM!!! song or musical?
Seems that Hegseth's enemies in the Pentagon have allegiance to another flag....
... Crooke made this interesting comment regarding the “scandal” about the Signal “leaks”, which he correctly understands as motivated by anger at Hegseth for favoring a negotiated settlement with Iran. Those “leaks”—supposedly by close aides to Hegseth—we now know were false accusations,....
But that *person* is not the last one:
... [the attacks on Hegseth were] basically because of Iran policy, because they did not want the negotiations and at the same time you had the commander of Centcom—General Kurilla, who's been in Israel who has been was setting up an attack on Iran with the Israelis which the Israelis want and like. Kurilla has a few months left in office as the commander of Centcom, which has always had a certain degree of latitude in the terms of its control [by the Pentagon]. [Kurilla] wants his war in Iran and Israel wants him to have his war. So this is the problem. ...(also Crooke)
Rabbi Shmuley is in the Vatican. Maybe he can persuade them to send the Swiss Guard into Iran...
Channel 12 interviewed Gov. Evers about his orders to State employees which were designed to delay apprehension and arrest of illegals.
The weak (and not very smart) fool said those orders were issued so that 'attorneys could be present' for the illegals (?) or maybe for the State employees who were violating Federal law (?) by so doing.
Belling passed on the rumor that Evers was going to leave office as soon as the State budget was signed into law.
What Belling did NOT expect is that Evers would be spending time in a Federal courtroom and then in Club Fed.
Couldn't happen to a weaker fool than Evers......
Aliens get a DIFFERENT "due process" than do citizens. It's much shorter and far less cluttered with If/But legalese.
Side note: did you know that an illegal who has been deported and returns (illegally) is a felon under US law?
Side note 2: most of the hoo-hah and mumbo-jumbo surrounding the illegal deportations is foo-foo dust created to 1) fool the "press" (which never asks any questions) and 2) fool YOU into thinking the poor, poor, alien is being chased by You-Know-Who's Brownshirt Nazi Youth.
Wanna know more? Here's the podcast you must hear.
This is sensible, so there will be "grass-roots" protests paid for by Soros & Co.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer warned states of losing federal funding if they fail to comply with President Donald Trump’s directives on rewarding illegal immigrants with tax dollars, according to an April 25 statement issued by the Department of Labor.
“Our nation’s unemployment benefits exist solely for workers who are eligible to receive them,” Chavez-DeRemer wrote in a letter addressed to state governors.
“To qualify for unemployment, one must be able and available to work, actively seeking work, and be legally authorized to accept employment in the United States. Unemployment benefits are not a handout for those in our country illegally.”
The secretary reminded all states that failing to fulfill existing legal obligations will result in the loss of federal funding through the Title III UI administrative grant.--Epoch Times via ZeroHedge
The Wisconsin Legislature ought to order an audit of Wisconsin's UC payments and practices. Think they'll get up the nerve?
It would be a lot of fun to watch Evers in a perp-walk. Given his Instructions for Insurrection issued to State employees, it looks like Tony "the Tiger" is eligible for the Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1505 treatment already afforded to Judge-ette Dugan.
Maybe Britt Cudabeck decided that she doesn't really need Tony fronting for her any more??
Ace's ONT runs a criticism of David Brooks, who is an articulate version of your typical Democrat Haterrrrrr. Brooks is calling for some sort of "uprising" from Republicans and Democrats. In reality, he's calling for an "uprising" from the Elites, something that doesn't really go well with the top hats, Gucci, and Prada. But nevermind.
Included in the criticism of Brooks and all his Fashionable-Wear/Wine-Sipper pals is a great line:
...Then again, if you think law firms, nonprofits, and civil servants are the cornerstones of Western civilization you have bigger problems than Donald Trump....
Only group missing from the above?
Judges.
This is what passes for "reporting"?
Dozens of people came together Wednesday, April 23, to learn about how potential cuts to Medicaid could impact services for people with disabilities.
Last month, a leaked memo showed Congress is exploring cutting $8.8 trillion from Medicaid over the next 10 years......
So far, so good. There were dozens and a serious look at Medicaid is on the table. But that serious look will focus on fraud, waste, and abuse.
Is that what "Hands Off Medicaid" wants to retain? Fraud, Waste, and Abuse?
...The cuts are not certain yet, but there is fear and uncertainty over how people who need critical services will access them if they're cut. ...
The fact that the cuts are "not certain" should have been at the top of the piece, not buried in the middle. Shameful.
...Among the proposed cuts:
- A program that provides legal representation to protect civil and human rights of people with disabilities.
- State councils that promote advocacy and leadership for people with disabilities.
- University centers that conduct national disability research and education.
As to the first two, audits will determine if they are or are not fraudulent or abusively channeling taxpayer dollars into lefty activists. Wanna bet about the outcome?
As to the third: this is the reform of the current situation, where taxpayer money os going to provide first-class plane fare, club memberships, exotic travel destinations and Class A office spaces--not to actual researchers--but to college and university "administrators." Trump's proposal is to reduce those "overhead" charges to only 15% of the grant, leaving 85% for actual research and development.
Rife should have known that and said so. Shameful.
...Haase told us if Medicaid programs are dismantled, it could impact her staff of 14, which in turn could impact the people they serve. ...
Yah, and IF the world ends, so will Medicaid programs. "IF" is a very big word. Reiff should have underscored her Sky-Is-Falling silliness. But he didn't. Shameful.
These people are beginning to get VERY irritating.
A lefty Wisconsin jurist is threatening not to hold court following Friday’s arrest of a Milwaukee judge for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade federal immigration officers.
Monica Isham, a circuit judge in Sawyer County, defended Judge Hannah Dugan Saturday, claiming in an email to other state judges that she “has no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by [Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents] and sent to a concentration camp,” Wisconsin Right Now first reported....
SAWYER COUNTY?? Schimel won there, as did Kinser. WTF??
Little Sitting Bitch (her Native American name) carried on:
...“Enough is enough. I no longer feel protected or respected as a Judge in this administration. If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County. I will not put myself or my staff who may feel compelled to help me or my community in [harm’s] way.”...
Repect is earned, not granted by a black robe, sweet-cheeks. Get over yourself.
And by the way, who the Hell is "your community"? Domestic abusers and serial illegals?
Maybe you're in the wrong country.
JoAnne Fabrics is was a place where She Who Must Be Obeyed spent a good deal of time and money because JoAnne Fabrics had what she wanted. Almost every time.
Suddenly, it's BK? We are reliably told that the outlet on Bluemound Road turned into a "dump," but another one farther west in the metro area was well-run, clean, and had excellent inventory. The video linked below mentions that ninety-seven percent of JoAnne stores were profitable.
So why a bankruptcy?
After viewing this video, we took a quick-and-dirty look into JoAnne Fabrics' history, and sure enough, found TWO "private equity" (P.E.) firms in that history. (We did not look into whether JoAnne was forced to send "debt payments" to either of them.)
The noticeable deterioration in personnel and generally slovenly appearance of the Bluemound Road store lines up very well with the P.E. modus operandi.
By the way, the video mentions a "carried interest" tax-trick. That scam is targeted for elimination by Trump. Now you know why the Big Money Boyzzzzz are screeching about 'all the damage' that 'Trump is doing to the economy.' It's not THE economy; it is THEIR economy that will be damaged.
Maybe you think that all business practices that make money (without committing crimes) are GOOD business practices.
We disagree.
Never forget the old adage "Follow the Money!"
US taxpayers sent a LOT of money to hospitals if a patient died "of Covid." And "Covid relief" money also went to States; in Wisconsin, Gov. Evers is still sitting on a pile of that money, plotting his giveaways to (D) activists.
Anyhow.
It's possible that HALF of those very lucrative deaths were not "from" Covid.
But ALL of your money? It's gone.
There is a reason that the financial situation of the USA is extremely dire. It's called SPENDING.
SPENDING is the favorite habit of Congress-slime of both parties.
Trump is the cure.
A man of Fiery Rhetoric!!
A man of the Extreme Left!!
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Wisconsin State Rep. Ryan Clancy (D) said Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan “is doing what all of us will be called to do in the days and weeks and months to come, and it’s standing up for people in our community that are being targeted by the Trump regime.”...
A man of Immense Learning on 18 US Code S1505 and S1071!
... Somebody had just asked me this morning, what can we do to support Judge Dugan? And I said, well, obviously, there aren’t going to be charges brought because she hasn’t done anything wrong....
... He continued, “I think nobody’s trying to be a hero here, but Judge Dugan is doing what all of us will be called to do in the days and weeks and months to come, and it’s standing up for people in our community that are being targeted by the Trump regime.”...
A man of Stunning and Brave!!
Bring it, meatball. Or should we say 'Bring it, Meathead'??
(Archie is still right.)
We note that when Biden's henchmen in the FBI were hauling grannies into prison for walking around in the Capitol--after being invited in by the CapCops--NO ONE from the Right who was holding office implied that more "resistance" and "standing up" was called for. It was, but the Right prefers the Rule of Law. Like US Code 18, S1505 and S1071.
Clancy? Let's see him walk the walk.
Grim makes an argument that this whole "Pay Them Back!!" thing is at least partially the fault of the FedGov.
...since the 1990s but especially under President Obama, the government made deals on how much former students had to pay that caused their loans to increase again. If you were in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and also Income Based Repayment, you weren't paying enough every month to pay off the debt in the 10 years it would take for you to get to forgiveness. Therefore, your loan balance continued to grow. You could have chosen a more expensive option, but since the government was promising to forgive the debt, why should you take money out of your family's pocket to do so? You were keeping up your end of the deal the government had made with you.
As a result of the first inflation, it now costs almost thirty times as much to go to college as it did in the 1970s. As a result of the second, people who owed X amount now may owe 2X as a consequence of keeping faith with the government....
It is reported that Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre is dead "by suicide."
Really?
You expect us to believe that, too?
