The Dumbest Takes on the Aug. 13 Wisconsin Primary Election Results

Wed, 08/14/2024 - 11:57

This is an analysis piece. The 2020 election-obsessed media are framing the Aug. 13 primary results as being a repudiation of “election denial,” Donald Trump, and the idea that Milwaukee crime is a real concern in Waukesha County. Liberals are screaming that voters proved they just love Tony Evers’ wild spending habits. Those are just […]

This is a column by state Rep. Rick Gundrum. On August 13th, the votes of the 20th State Senate District will determine who they want to represent them in Madison.

Carry your Sidearm, Wisconsinites, But Don’t Shoot Fish

Sun, 08/11/2024 - 23:53

This is an opinion piece by Scott Frostman. “They Shoot Canoes, Don’t They?” It’s the title of a book by the late outdoor humorist Patrick McManus, who entertained a generation of hunting, fishing, and other nature-seeking enthusiasts with his wit. The Wisconsin DNR recently changed course on an old law regarding firearms on boats. Let’s […]

Comrade Harris’s VP Pick Is a Radical Leftist in Sheep’s Clothing [Up Against the Wall]

Sun, 08/11/2024 - 23:18

This is an opinion piece. I have to be honest and say, thank God, Republicans dodged a bullet on that one. Comrade Harris’s VP pick of Governor Tom Walz of Minnesota (man, I hate the Vikings, err did I say that out loud?) doesn’t really help her at all. Well, I guess it solidifies her […]

Thank you, Kamala: Tim Walz Gives Trump a Better Chance to Win

Thu, 08/08/2024 - 14:39

This is an opinion piece. After the past few weeks, I have to admit to feeling a bit anxious about the trajectory of the upcoming November election. A great concern of mine was that we either save the country with a Trump win or go way far left to destroy it from within with socialist […]

Richard Cordray, who was called a “socialist” by Donald Trump, ran a controversial, Republican-detested Obama-created federal regulatory agency Waukesha County District Attorney candidate Michael Thurston made two campaign donations to a prominent Ohio Democrat and former Barack Obama appointee – and one of the donations came just three weeks after Obama prominently endorsed the Democrat, […]

MISCALCULATION: Kamala Harris’s Disastrous Tim Walz Pick Proves She Doesn’t Get Rural Midwestern Voters

Tue, 08/06/2024 - 13:34

This is an opinion piece. Wisconsin conservatives we know are giddily applauding the disastrous choice of Tim Walz because they think it helps Trump. Kamala Harris’s bizarre vice presidential pick of pro-BLM, pro-illegal-immigrant, high-taxing, far-leftist Tim Walz only makes sense if you view it from a liberal point of view. But Harris fundamentally misunderstands rural, […]

This is an opinion piece. The Fed has been busy selecting their pronouns for their emails (literally – I’m not making this us – it was told to me from a Fed Governor) and other such nonsense while the economy teeters on the edge…due to their overly high interest rates. This Fed, under Powell’s leadership, […]

The Olympics Should Establish a Clear Sex Testing Standard After Boxing Controversy

Mon, 08/05/2024 - 07:02

This is an opinion piece. Biased news reports have routinely and unfairly framed the controversy surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif’s gender as hateful, unsubstantiated, transphobia coming from the “right-wing.” Lost in a lot of the rage-bait liberal reporting on Khelif’s gender is the fact that the Olympics currently doesn’t have compulsory sex or gender testing […]
