Aside from the wacko decisions made by Adelman, including his rejection of a Voter ID law for Wisconsin, let's not forget how Adelman got his black robe.
Tommy Thompson obtained it for him.
Thanks, Tommy!!

Another Bloodsucker "Cop"
We use the quotes because this slimebucket doesn't deserve any respect at all. None.
Quick summary: Deputy Shitball T-bones a car, lies about it, causes the arrest of the other driver for DUI, causes about $1 million in medical bills for the other driver, and later admits that he lied like hell.
Nope. That's not all.
Deputy Shitball was "treated and released" for minor injuries after the T-boned the other car. But Deputy Shitball takes 'medical leave'--and has filed for permanent duty-related disability.
Let's hope Channel 6 follows this story. Milwaukee County could be on the hook for millions in damages, and Deputy Shitball could be collecting lotsa "disability" pay.

S&P's FooFoo Dust
S&P released a report indicating that 'large employers' would eventually dump all their employees into ObozoCare.
Then they say this:
...“Neither lawmakers nor the White House originally anticipated the idea that the ACA could provide corporations with an enormous subsidy to earnings,” say authors of the report. “However, once a few notable companies start to depart from their traditional approach to health care benefits, it's likely that a substantial number of firms could quickly follow suit.”...
Really?
During the HillaryCare debate, both the "Big Three" and Silicon Valley were strenuously arguing FOR national healthcare so they could be relieved of their healthcare benefit costs.
This is not un-anticipated. It's exactly what 'large employers' wanted.

Common Core Is a Honeytrap
Perhaps the single most important reason that Common Core should be disavowed by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee lies in Deneen's speech to the Philadelphia Society. Recognize, first, that Common Core IS a Federally-imposed program, regardless of the weasel-wording of its proponents (who, by the way, are largely from the (D-Statist) Party.)
Now, then, Deneen examines "The Life of Julia":
...We begin to see this with ever-growing clarity in our own times—a new, kinder and gentler total State. It promises its citizenry liberty at every turn, and that liberty involves ever-greater freedom from the partial institutions of civil society, or ones remade in accordance with the aims of the State. The states as sovereign political units have been almost wholly eviscerated, and are now largely administrative units for the federal government....
Note well: "Julia" has "liberty"--or so the ad told us. But there are clouds on that sunny horizon.
...Satisfied with that victory, we now see extraordinary efforts to “break” two institutions that have always been most resistant to the total State: churches and family. We see an unprecedented efforts by the Federal government to abridge religious liberty by conscripting religious institutions like Little Sisters of the Poor (and my institution, Notre Dame) to be agents conscripted into providing abortifacients, sterilization and contraception—in the name of individual liberty. We can expect determined and even ferocious efforts to bend Churches to accept gay marriage as a norm, even to the point of forcing them entirely out of the civil realm. And we see increasing efforts of the government to “liberate” children from their families—represented perhaps most chillingly by the MSNBC clip showing Melissa Harris-Perry explaining how the greatest obstacle to State education has been the pervasive notion that kids “belong” to families rather than belonging “collectively to all of us.”...
The demolition of Church and family. Just what the State wants.
And the Archbishop hands over his children to the authors.

Pot, Kettle, Chisholm!
Perhaps the most ironic squeal from John Chisholm:
Chisholm charges the plaintiffs’ complaint was “drafted for media consumption rather than compliance with the Rules of Civil Procedure.”
Chisholm ought to know about "media consumption." He has Dan Bice on speed-dial.
Squealing and wailing; the angst of teenaged girls.

The Chasm Between D.C. and Real America
Charlie Cook observes that the Democrat party should avoid "the recovery" in their politicking.
What goes UN-said is the wide chasm between D.C./Beltway 'dwellers' (to be polite) and the rest of the country think regarding the economy. That chasm is hinted at in this graf:
...From a political perspective, what a cross section of American voters think of the economy matters more than a panel of the top economists. Last month's NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed that 57 percent of Americans believe we are still in a recession; just 41 percent say we are not, with pessimism just gradually diminishing over the last few years. It is what average people think that's important, not what economists say....
The only "recovery" going full steam is the one in D.C. and the Beltway. Other regions vary from godawful to mediocre, with only a couple of other bright spots--North Dakota's oil-shale area being the only Midwestern one that comes to mind offhand.
Not to worry. The (R) Party figures that cheap labor and ObozoCare Lite will remedy the recession.
Be happy!! (And Buy More Ammo.)

Just How Dumb IS Scott Fitzgerald?
Long story short: Walker and the Assembly Pubbies knew that the State's Voter ID law was shaky, and Adelman knocked it down.
The Assembly Pubbies passed a bulletproof version of Voter ID. Walker supported it.
Scott Fitzgerald, (R-Useless) decided to stuff the bill into the memory hole, betting against......well.....his far smarter brethren.
Now the scramble starts again.
Does anyone know why Scott Fitzgerald holds the position he does?

What RoJo Rolled Over For
Our "Promise to Repeal" Senator has flip-flopped.
Great.
This is the sort of crap that he's accomodating.
...Federal systems have been facing problems transferring accurate information to state Medicaid agencies for months. HealthCare.gov is supposed to direct applications of customers eligible for Medicaid to state agencies, which should be able to confirm eligibility and finally enroll the applicant, but miscommunication in states across the country have forced customers to sign up again.
It’s not clear whether the problem lies within federal or state technology or both, but HHS’ seems to be putting the onus on state agencies to solve any problems on their own....
...The Washington Post reported in January that software defects in HealthCare.gov’s back-end systems were preventing over 100,000 Americans from being fully enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. HealthCare.gov couldn’t properly communicate eligible Medicaid applicants’ information to state agencies, preventing them from verifying the applications and creating thousands of backlogs themselves.
Even today, major back-end components of HealthCare.gov have still not yet been built.
Next we'll read that RoJo has become the Common Core Czar.

Common Core = Workforce Development
Underlying the debate over Common Core is this:
...the ... plan is to train children in specific jobs to serve the workforce and the global economy rather than educate them so they can make their own life choices.
That's the revolution.
Education has never been about "job training" for the proletariat, except in certain sorts of economies which are in favor with the current Administration. What is proposed by Common Core enthusiasts--and happily implemented by the....ahhh.......useless idiots....is really vocational/technical stuff.
They wish to manufacture little robots. If that's what you think of your children, well.......

How Long For RoJo?
Now we are told that the (R) Party intends to keep ObozoCare in force.
So.
How long will RoJo remain in office?
Even more: how long will he remain a Republican?
UPDATE: Never mind. RoJo joined the cave-crowd. So much for "promises,", eh?
Now "You can keep your plan" is joined by "I will fight to REPEAL ObamaCare" in the list of Big Lies.
So.

10th Amendment? Not Here!
Fifty years from now, chilluns will be learning that the most perverse Attorney General in US history was Eric Holder. Working for a Communist President won't be an excuse. It just earns the appellation 'running dog.'
Anyhow,
More than a year after the U.S. Department of Justice began shoving its nose into Wisconsin’s School Choice program, the federal agency’s “ongoing investigation” continues without any apparent end. And while the state Department of Public Instruction has tepidly told DOJ the federal Justice Department doesn’t have authority to push its power trip on the state, DPI has seemingly been willing to assist in what school choice supporters see as nothing more than an ill-advised fishing expedition...In short, DOJ believes Wisconsin’s School Choice, or Parental Choice, program has discriminated against students with disabilities.
It's the same bulls*&^ that the Teachers' Union has been spouting for a decade. Never was the case, never will be the case--but hey! Harassment and intimidation can be useful.
There is a significant objection to Holder's crap-crusade made by DPI's own lawyer:
...“DOJ seeks to commandeer a state agency (DPI) to enforce a law against private schools that does not apply to them through means that the state agency has no authority to employ,”...
It's that pesky 10th Amendment stuff.
...By demanding Wisconsin “adopt burdensome regulation on its school choice program,” Szafir said the Justice Department is essentially trying to “rewrite state education policy from Washington, D.C.”...
This Administration is the single most evil group of jerkwads ever collected in one place.
And it's not a co-incidence that most of the Choice schools are Lutheran and Catholic.

Madistan Never Changes
Since the (R) sweep of the Wisconsin government, the tendency is to sorta forget about the real nature of Madistan, the city.
Don't. The virulent infection that is the teachers' union can spread its pus any time.
...In her freshman year, Madison East did not offer the Pledge every morning. Her family decided to talk to the principal and school board, reminding them that it is a state law to offer the Pledge every day....
...her school board finally obliged and started to offer the Pledge of Allegiance daily.
Samantha told me: “this went on without issue from around January of 2013 until March 4th, 2014.” On March 4th, Samantha says her school began to remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, and added that they thought they were “above the law.” On the first day of revision, they took out the entire line “one nation under God.” The next day, they merely skipped the words “under God.” On the third day, Thursday March 6th, 2014, they replaced the word “God” with “peace.”...
Oh, That's right. Mary Burke was a member of that school board, ain'a?

Think ObozoCare Covers You? Think Again
Nice little story here out of California.
...Much to her surprise, Michael discovered that Anesthesiology Consultants of Marin was not in her network.
... Michael said information on Anthem Blue Cross's website indicated that the Marin Hospitalists Medical Group was also outside Blue Cross' network of providers for Covered California customers.
...The dawning of Obamacare has resulted in confusion over which medical groups supplying ancillary services to the hospitals — anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists and hospitalists — have contracted with Blue Shield and Anthem Blue Cross to serve their new Affordable Care Act customers. The insured with these plans must pay substantially more for any service provided by a doctor outside their insurer's network of providers.
In fact, Blue Shield's exclusive provider organization (EPO) customers in Marin must pay 100 percent of the cost for out-of-network services....
Let's remember that the (R) Party has decided to cave on ObozoCare. That's because they *care* about their constituents, of course.
HT: Grim's Hall

The (R) Cave-In
Announced by the chairwoman of the House (R) Conference.
...U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said it’s unlikely the Affordable Care Act will be repealed.
“We need to look at reforming the exchanges,” the Eastern Washington Republican said Thursday.
... the framework established by the law likely will persist and reforms should take place within its structure.
Oh, goodie. What that really means is that the (R) bunch will extract its pound of campaign-contribution flesh from various interest groups while "reforming" the law. That's what passes for "governance" these days.
More, this on immigration:
...McMorris Rodgers said she still thinks a deal could be struck before the election. “I believe there is a path that we get a bill on the floor by August,” she said.
...she said she’d support a bill that grants legal status to those undocumented immigrants working toward citizenship, allowing them to remain in the country to work and go to school while they wait their turn in the current system.
Now watch the linguistic flip-floppery here:
“We’re going to have to push that this is a legal status, not amnesty,” she said.
IOW, if you've skipped the line and evaded the law for long enough, you'll have "legal status" and remain in the country.
Sorta like now, except for "legal status."

Bundy: Clumsy, but "Racist"?
Ol' Cliven is no double-talking politician, nor is he aware of the legendary ability of the NYSlimes to slice, dice, and edit his remarks.
Look at the full, unedited, tape. He's not silver-tongued, but I don't see a "racist" here.
As usual, ColdFury has it nailed pretty well:
...while we watch in disgust as weak-kneed “moderate” conservatives predictably skitter away again from principle for their perpetually-hoped-for pat on the head from liberal-fascist diabolicals for being good little PC poodles (a pat on the head they never seem to receive), we need to remember something: all this was inevitable, and it was no accident; this is how our enemies operate.
Anybody who didn’t smell this noxious manipulation coming from a mile away simply hasn’t been paying attention these last several decades. Not to minimize the Phase One victory for the forces of freedom or anything, but it’s still early days here, and the Alinsky-Obama regime hasn’t by any means shot all the bolts from this particular quiver yet. The enemy is playing the long game, of course and as usual; this is battlespace preparation, and nothing more nor less. Remember: all they really have to do is discredit Bundy in the eyes of their own base to adequately justify the action they really want and intend to take. The rest of us can argue about it till the cows come home (sorry) for all they care: Reid and son will have their lucrative ChiCom/green weenie land grab; the BLM will remain every bit as powerful as before; and the Bundys and the militia will still be rendered just as hors de combat, in one way or another.
Media Matters and the NYT are propaganda arms of the federal enemies of Constitutional government; ever-reliable hack Nagourney was sent to the Bundy ranch to gather not news but ammunition for his federal masters. The only proper, the only possible response to every man Jack of them remains: FUCK YOU.
...and Buy More Ammo.
By the way, there are better-qualified commenters on Bundy's character than the BlobPress and its infection, the Democrat Party.

Didn't Know You Owe? Too Bad!
Seems like there was a snafu on UW-M student loans
...The university contracted with a private firm to notify and bill graduates who have student loans. That company, which contracts with the entire UW system, incorrectly processed the information.
... The school has been contacting the students, but the bad news for Legan and the others, is that the U.S. Department of Education said the students are required to repay any interest on those loans, whether they knew about it or not....
I would think that the "private firm"--whoever that is--should be smacked with several hundred lawsuits demanding damages.
Surprised that Great Lakes Higher Education hasn't been mentioned in this story. *Cough* If they are NOT the "private firm", they ought to make that clear immediately.

It's a Lot More Than Miller Park
The BizJournal will run a story about the $500 million arena problem.
From the preview:
...Curtis and other local politicians in counties surrounding Milwaukee said they resent what they view as Milwaukee politicians historically demanding that suburban counties help pay for projects in Milwaukee. The prime example of that is Miller Park, where a 0.1 percent sales tax on Milwaukee and four other counties continues paying off the stadium’s construction debt....
Umnnnnhhh, not quite.
THE prime example is the taxation of suburbs to remedy Downtown Milwaukee's poop problem, a/k/a MMSD's "Deep Tunnel." After having paid billions of dollars, Milwaukee continues to dump poop into Lake Michigan, but now it goes into tunnels first!
More contemporary is Barrett's attempt to have every user of W.E. electricity and Ma Bell phones pay for the City of Milwaukee's ChooChoo to Nowhere. Only $25 million (!!)

"Bullying" B.S.
From all the hooohaaaa on the local airwaves, it would seem that "bullying" is the growth industry in schools.
Wrong.
...Advocates of the Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act portray bullying as an urgent and escalating problem, though surveys by the U.S. Department of Justice indicate that bullying is actually declining in American schools. But a closer look reveals an unsettling truth: This campaign—and the legislation it has spawned—is not so much about stopping bad behavior as it is about using the machinery of state education to compel children to adopt politically correct attitudes on the nature of human sexuality, gender identity, and alternative family structures....
It's not about the non-issue of "bullying." It's about the Left's intolerance of speech and thought which does not conform with the homosexual agenda.
