And This Is Different From A Muslim Head Scarf, HOW?

 I am not going to dive into the other issues here in this post, particularly voting rights for women,  but you should warn yourself here: The Women Who Believe Women Should Lose the Right to Vote.

But I am very very curious on why what these "Christian" women are doing is different than the headscarves that many Muslim women wear. I mean other than style and color, etc.

"Sundays, most of the women at King’s Way Reformed Church in the old mining town of Prescott, Ariz., wore dainty kerchiefs knotted over their hair to show devotion to God. Marybelle East, 36, wore hers all the time, she said — seven days a week — “for him to see that I submit to his authority.” Her husband’s authority, that is.

Her head scarf is a physical reminder of biblical patriarchy, the kind of marriage the church preaches. “It keeps me from running my mouth,” she said."

Who wants to jump in and explain this to me??

BTW: later in the article it mentions that many of these churches would like the USA to be a theocracy. And again, I will ask, how is this different than say...Iran? 

I am going to leave this here for now.

The United States Can Elect A Convicted Felon President but in Canada:

Yes, the United States has elected a convicted felon, unabashed habitual liar, pedophile, financial disaster, scam artist, war criminal, someone with little knowledge of the world, and a limited facility with English to the US Presidency, but everyone seems to be cool with that (sarcasm alert), RIGHT?

But in Canada:

Air Canada’s chief executive, Michael Rousseau, said Monday that he would step down, days after criticism over his condolence message, delivered almost entirely in English, following a fatal accident involving an Air Canada plane at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Mr. Rousseau, 68, faced backlash after releasing a video primarily in English and little French, such as “bonjour” and “merci,” which was criticized as dismissive of French-speaking Canadians. Politicians quickly voiced their frustrations, arguing that Mr. Rousseau’s inability to speak French showed a disconnect from a significant portion of the country.

???? Please make sense of this?

Trump's Losers - Drunken Van Orden Edition

Wait And Wait, There's More

 


As the gentle reader probably already knows, GOP activist and election denier Harry Wait has been convicted of two counts of election fraud and one count of identity theft. Wait had asked for and received eight absentee ballots in the 2022 election, including those for Racine Mayor Cory Mason and soon-to-be former Speaker Robbin' Vos.

Ironically, Wait was part of the group that went after Vos for not doing enough about election fraud, just as Wait had committed.

The convictions in themselves are not a surprise. Wait went on social media bragging about his crimes, falsely claiming that the system doesn't work when it clearly does.

However, there are a couple of parts of the story I would have liked to see some follow-up on.

One was whether Sen. Ron Johnson still thinks that Wait is a "white hat hacker."  My guess is that he would say yes. After all, election fraudsters have to stick together.

The other issue I have is with Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmailing. Wait had notified Schmaling via email of his crimes, but instead of arresting Wait, Schmaling joined in on the bragging: 

Schmaling did not arrest Wait and instead publicized the plot on social media as being helpful in rooting out vulnerabilities in the state election system and blamed the Wisconsin Elections Commission, calling on commissioners to remove a way voters can easily request ballots online.

I want to know why Schmaling was not investigated and charged as a party to the crime.  After all, the system will only work if law enforcement enforces the laws, which Schmaling obviously did not.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin Isn't Being Helpful Here.


This article has been in been in the back of my mind for weeks, so finally, I am releasing it to the wild.

As all of our readers are sure to know, Governor Tony Evers is not running for re-election. So there is a plethora of Democrats running in the August primary. And initially there were a number of Republicans as well but earlier in 2026 there were only two. They were U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany and Washington County Exec. Josh Schoemann.

And then Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Tiffany and almost immediately Exec. Schoemann dropped out of the race. 

When putting together an article on the subject for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reporter Molly Beck apparently contacted the DPW and? : 'A spokeswoman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin issued a statement on Schoemann's exit that simply said, "Who?"'

Now, any of those you follow me here or followed me in earlier iterations know that I certainly dabble in snark and satire in a grand manner. And I can appreciate this bit of snark from that perspective but given the divide and animosity in contemporary politics, this isn't particularly helpful coming from a spokesperson for a major party.

A better reply might have been? It's too bad that the Republican party isn't willing to provide Republican voters and Republican leaning voters with an opportunity to select their own candidate for Wisconsin governor. 

And remember, the Wisconsin primary is August 11 , 2026

Kristi Noem Gets Slap On Wrist, Justice Gets Slapped Down

 

Image via DonkeyHotey

 
By now, the whole world is aware of the fact that Kristi Noem, the Puppy Killer, is out as head of the Dept of Homeland Security. The only thing surprising about the whole sordid affair - Noem being fired, not her dalliances with her "top aide", Corey Lewandowski - is that a narcissist like Trump had put up with being embarrassed by her for as long as he had. His dementia must be so bad that he doesn't know what's going on around him.

But there are a few things that need to be kept in mind.  

One, Noem's removal as head of DHS was not impulsive.  It was planned out, complete with performative set-ups during this week's hearings, and the time for her proposed successor, Markwayne Moon Mullen, to be ready. Trust me, Mullen is not that bright that he can think on his feet.

Secondly, this move isn't anything more than a slap on the wrist for Noem.  Oh, sure, she has to give up her sex plane, her taxpayer-funded glamor shots, and all of her cosplay costumes. But now she gets to collect a huge salary for doing nothing more than staying out of the way. Good work if you can get it, especially while most of the country is struggling to make ends meet.

Third, justice has not been done. No one has been held accountable for the executions of Renee Good or Alex Pretti.  No, on ehass been held accountable for all the terrorism her goons have caused throughout the nation.  No one has been made to answer for all of the money she has squandered and has lined her pockets with.

Hell, even Cricket, the puppy that Noem killed for no good reason, still gets no justice.  And that's criminal in itself.

Radio Squawker Calls For Assassination of Gov. Tim Walz UPDATED!


Dan O'Donnell, a squawk radio host on WISN-AM, went on Xitter and proved how sociopathic he really is by posting back-to-back tweets. In one tweet, he posted an image of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz dressed like Ayatollah Khomeini. In the other tweet, he called for someone to "take out" Walz:



O'Donnell's posts are exceptionally egregious after the assassination of Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife just last summer.  

Last year, O'Donnell made the news by leading the charge to get former Channel 58 meteorologist Sam Kuffel fired because she went on her own private social media page and criticized Elon Musk's Nazi salute. Since Kuffel was fired for criticizing a Nazi salute, calling for the assassination should be a fireable offense and a referral to the authorities for investigation.

Unfortunately, inappropriate behavior is more the norm than the exception at WISN.  In 2024, former WISN squawker Jay Weber disparaged Gus Walz.

Years before that, the station's then star squawker, Mark Belling, would routinely insult women politicians and reporters and use racial slurs.

Both Belling and Weber were suspended, but apparently nothing has changed.  If anything, things have gotten worse.  The station needs to make an example of O'Donnell before things escalate any further.

ADDENDUM: O'Donnell did make a half-ass apology:


O'Donnell still needs to see consequences for his actions, unless, of course, WISN condones that kind of behavior. Then the station also needs to see consequences.

UPDATE: O'Donnell was not on the air Tuesday afternoon. It is not known whether he's been suspended, fired, or couldn't handle the heat for his depravity.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie: WI Assembly Speaker Robin Vos Retires

 If you are reading Cog Dis, you are probably well aware that WI Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is retiring at the end of the current Assembly term. Although some Dems have said a few nice things about him, I for one am eager to see him gone. One of the lead henchmen in the Scott Walker cabal he has done very very few things that have been of any good to the state of Wisconsin. For instance cutting shared revenues to schools and local government have financially strangled these fine institutions and put that at risk of failure. 

Ironically in part of his farewell statements 'Vos said he's been served well by trying to be a "good listener" and trying to discern "where we can find common ground."' (this excerpt is behind a paywall at jsonline. com, sorry). 

Find common ground? Vos has been the most divisive politician in the state in decades. Wasn't he a main driver in the lame duck session between Gov. Evers November election back in the day and his taking office...where the GOP removed any number of important executive branch responsibilities and authorities? Yes, Vos was the guy. 

Well...if his reasons for leaving are true, this should be the last time we see Robin Vos in public office and hopefully never ever see him in cabinet level slush fund rewards.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words - The Tom Tiffany Edition

 Tom Tiffany and his former primary opponent, Josh Schoemann, decided to take a photo together to show a unified front.  I couldn't imagine a more appropriate picture:


Tiffany is a denizen of the swamp, so it's only appropriate that he is standing in the middle of one.

But Tiffany has a history of taking bad photos.  Like this picture from his campaign. While it's true that Tiffany shovels a lot of bullshit, why would he want it for his campaign?


Personally, I would think he would be embarrassed by a photo showing he doesn't know how to work a shovel, but there goes Tiffany, running with it:


A lot of politicians have become laughing stocks by going to their state's state fair and getting in a less-than-complementary picture. Tiffany is not an exception:


All this shows that Tiffany has very poor judgment in taking these pictures and in thinking anyone would want someone like him making decisions on how to run the state.

Are You Listening Madison? Kentucky Supremes Cut Off Charter Schools!

 Wisconsin has been a leader in spending public funding for charter schools and it was been a very very controversial provision in state budgeting. There are often two reasons put forward for the shortfall in public school budgets and the growing reliance in Wisconsin for referendums to increase property tax revenues over the caps.The first is the continued reduction in public support of our schools by the GOP cabal in control of Madison since the Walker regimes...and the second is the claimed draining of student bodies and the resulting state support as charter schools cannibalize public education.

So today, the Kentucky Supreme Court knocked down a law granting public revenues to charter schools. 

"The Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a law Thursday that would have allowed public funding to go to charter schools. 

Kentucky currently has no charter schools, and the court has determined public funding is only allowed for “common schools” under the state’s constitution.  

“Charter schools, by statute, are not regulated by local state authorities in school districts, are not regulated by the rules set out by the state authorities for schools, even if excluded from school districts, and therefore they are not a common school,” the judges found.  "

Wisconsin, are you listening??



Did Donald Trump Order Flags To Half Staff for Jesse Jackson Yet?

I was out of town working on some probate stuff when I was checking the news on my phone and read that Civil Rights Activist Jesse Jackson had died. Given the Rev. Jackson's positive impact on the lives of so many Americans of all races, faiths, and stations in life, it made sense that the sitting US President would declare a national period of mourning and issue an order to lower flags to half staff. 

I am not finding any such declaration in the news. Am I missing something??

BTW: Trump ordered flags to half staff for 5 days for Charlie Kirk...hardly the same import to the nation as the Rev. Jackson.

Apparently only the State of Illinois is honoring Rev. Jackson in this manner. What's up with the State of Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, or the City of Milwaukee??

It's Your Turn, America

 



Early this morning, the news broke that they had arrested former Prince Andrew due to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.  Other worl leaders and business bigwigs are facing the fallout for being in the Epstein files.

It's beyond time for Pam Bondi to arrest Trump.  And if she refuses, she should face charges as well.  There's more than enough proof.

The Trumpstein Files Implicate Trump


My friend and colleague at Crooks and Liars, Susan Madrack, reports that, despite the Trump regime's best efforts to bury the truth, the Trempstein files are implicating Trump in child rape:

The DOJ included the woman’s allegations in a comprehensive 21-page internal slideshow presentation that also appears in the files.

“[REDACTED] stated Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit,” the presentation says. “In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out.” The victim would have been “approximately 13-15 years old when this occurred,” according to the presentation. The alleged assault took place in the early-mid 1980s, and the same woman also claimed to be an Epstein victim.

The second Trump claim on the slide — that Epstein introduced a victim to Trump when she was 14 years old, saying, “This is a good one, right?”, to which Trump agreed — is considered highly credible by the DOJ: That claim, about an incident at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in 1994, came from a key government witness whose testimony at trial helped DOJ prosecutors convict Maxwell, the files reveal.

Remember, this is still just the tip of the iceberg.  Trump is mentioned in the files tens of thousands of times, none of them good.

Milwaukee Republican Officer Thinks Children Should Not Be Seen Nor Heard

 

TMJ4 did a news story about the kids at Franklin High School who were planning on doing a demonstration to protest ICEtapo brutality. Parents were split on whether it was appropriate, apparently forgetting their own childhood protests.

However, Hilario Deleon, who is the chair of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County, thinks that children should not be seen or heard, and they should hold their protest when it's more convenient to ignore:

"It does a disservice not only to them but to the people in the community who are financing the school through taxpayer dollars," said Hilario Deleon, who supports the right to protest but opposes the student walkouts' timing.

Some residents questioned students' motivations, suggesting that many participants might simply want to skip class rather than advocate for their cause.

"Many of the walkouts that happened when I was in school, most kids were just walking out to get out of class," Deleon said.

Critics suggested holding the protest outside school hours to demonstrate a genuine commitment to the cause.

"It will also show and demonstrate who the actual people who believe in the cause are," Deleon said.

Deleon is obviously not a big one for civil rights. He probably thinks that Rosa Parks should have only taken a seat on the bus when it was less crowded. Perhaps he thinks that Dr. Martin Luther King should have walked to Selma later in the day, so as not to inconvenience anyone.  Deleon probably thinks that union workers should only strike after their shift is done.

Maybe Deleon should learn some history before making a fool out of himself again.

RoJo - The New Inspector Clouseau




Ron Johnson isn't worth a damn as a senator, and he's not very effective as a political operative either.  In a feeble effort to keep the Minnesota daycare scandal a thing, RoJo issued a press release to tell everyone that he sent a letter out to show how he's looking very seriously into this very serious matter:

The letter follows recent public reporting on fraud in Minnesota, including a YouTube video by Nick Shirley that highlighted potentially $111 million in improper payments and fraud at child care centers across Minnesota and raised serious questions about whether existing oversight mechanisms at DHS were sufficient to detect and prevent fraud.

“At the very least, routine DHS oversight should have identified obvious program-integrity red flags at child care centers receiving unusually large payments relative to their licensed capacity,” Chairman Johnson wrote.

In the letter, the chairman enclosed a list of over 70 examples of child care businesses in Minnesota that received over $1 million in annual payments from the state in 2024. He demanded audit and inspection records connected to those entities.

“Given the pervasiveness of fraud in your state, it is past time for Minnesota to answer for its apparent failure to safeguard taxpayer dollars,” Chairman Johnson stated.

I did notice an odd thing that is remarkable in its omission. Among all of the documents he is calling for in between his snark attacks at Governor Tim Walz, RoJo Cousteau forgot to ask for the court transcripts of the dozens of people already tried and convicted in the scandal.

I wonder why that is. Maybe the same reason he's not worried about the Epstein files.

Maria Lazar Is More Radical Than Even Rebecca Bradley

Wisconsin Watch took a unique approach to the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. They asked both the Chris Taylor campaign and the Maria Lazar campaign to select a case that showcases their strengths and their opponent's weaknesses.

Interestingly, they both chose the same case - a voting rights case on whether voters had to completely fill out their address, including city, state, and zip code.  Taylor ruled with the voters, pointing out that the law did not require them to include all of that information.

Each campaign explained why they chose this case:

A spokesperson for Taylor’s campaign said the case demonstrates how Taylor protected Democratic rights and “fairly” and “impartially” applies the law. 

“This decision balanced protecting each Wisconsinite’s right to vote with establishing a fair, uniform procedure for our local clerks,” Taylor campaign spokesman Sam Roecker said. “As indicative of the strength of this decision, no party involved in the case appealed Judge Taylor’s decision.” 

Lazar’s campaign said Taylor failed to consider the intent of the Legislature

“Judge Taylor’s opinion, on the merits, indicates how far an activist judge who legislates from the bench will go to alter procedures for election integrity,” Lazar campaign spokesman Nathan Conrad said of the witness address case. “Every common sense citizen in Wisconsin knows that an address consists of a street name, number and municipality.” 

The explanation from the Lazar campaign reminded me of something that shows Lazar is unfit to be on the bench, especially not the Supreme Court. 

Seven years ago, the Wisconsin Supreme Court heard a case in which the decision came down to intent versus how the law is written. The Court ruled that intent was irrelevant and the law had to be followed as written. That decision was written by Rebecca Bradley, whose seat is up for grabs in April:

"The county urges the court to interpret 'not covered by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement' to mean 'not represented by a union,'" Rebecca Bradley wrote for the majority. "Because we must apply the plain meaning of the ordinance's text rather than rewrite it to reflect what the county may have intended, we reject the county's request and affirm the Court of Appeals."

In summary, what the legislature might have intended is irrelevant. The thing that matters is how the law is written.  Taylor was correct and followed the law. Lazar wanted to alter the meaning of the law to meet her agenda.  

We don't need anyone more radical and fascist than even Bradley on the bench. 


Where's Wisconsin?

 From the latest drop of the heavily redacted Epstein files comes this tidbit showing just how incompetent the first Trump administration was:


They couldn't even find Wisconsin on a map. Yet they still had Ron Johnson soiling his trousers because even these bumbling fools knew he was a Russian spy.

Get The F*ck Out Of Town

 Unless you live in a cave, you have already heard the protest song done by Bruce Springsteen.

What you might not have heard is the song written and performed by Wisconsin's own Tom Kastle, inspired by the famous words of Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, after the murder of Renee Good by ICEtapo goons:


Thank you to  Tom for giving his permission for me to share this.

Ron Tusler's Freudian Slip

 On Monday, as the nation was still reeling from the execution-style murder of Alex Pretti, Wisconsin State Rep. Ron Tusler took time to praise Trump's handling of immigration on Facebook. However, Tusler's choice of words left a lot to be desired - starting with human decency:


His choice of the word "execute" was thoughtless at best.  

After I confronted Tusler on his word choice, he edited his post to change execute to conduct. But the post in its entirety shows that Tusler has his nose so far up Trump's butt that he can't see what's going on in the country and the world:

He wants Congress to change the law to allow the ICEtapo to execute American citizens for defending the Constitution and human decency?  He wants Congress to allow ICEtapo goons to go door to door, looking for "undesirable" people his kind don't think belong here, all without a warrant?  He wants Congress to change the law so that the only way an immigrant can come to the United States is to pay a bribe to Trump?

Tusler is the kind of guy who would have told the Nazis where Anne Frank was hiding. He's not the kind of guy we need in any elected office.

Tiffany Uses Right Wing Operative As 'Average Taxpayer' In Ad

Tom Tiffany is running this ad with "average taxpayers" complaining about their property taxes being too high:


Now, I could go into how the steep hike in taxes is because the Republicans chose not to properly fund the schools, forcing the school districts to hike their share, but that's for another post.

However, the point I want to make is that the people in the ad are as fake as trying to put the blame solely on Gov.Tony Evers.  The first person in the Tiffany ad, Amber from Lake Geneva, is Amber Infusio.


Infusio is one of the Moms for Fascism that like to cite quotes from Hitler and host underage drinking parties because parents know best. Maybe Infusio's appearance in Tiffany's ad is quid pro quo for Tiffany signing a pledge card for her at last year's State Fair:

If Tiffany is running fake ads this early in the race, how can anyone trust him on anything he says for the rest of the year?

Here's a hint: You can't!

Wisconsin Blind Eye

 


In 2007, state leaders inexplicably thought it was a good idea to privatize public transparency and thus created WisconsinEye.

In December, WisconsinEye announced that it was ending live coverage and closing its archive of previous sessions of the state legislature because it was a victim of Trumpnomics:

“Due to extreme competition and a complete collapse in private funding — marked by donor fatigue, competing nonprofit campaigns, record-breaking political fundraising and economic uncertainty — WisconsinEye’s website is unavailable,” a message on the WisEye website states. “Without consistent annual funding…. citizens, legislators, legislative staff, the governor’s administration, agency leadership and staff, trade associations, attorneys and the courts, local government officials, journalists and all print, cable, television and radio news outlets, businesses, nonprofit organizations — all lose the only reliable and proven source of unfiltered State Capitol news and state government proceedings.”

Now, WisconsinEye has resorted to using GoFundMe to raise $250,000 in order to secure state funding to resume providing services.  As of the time of this writing, they were just under $6,000.  

While WisconsinEye is trying to get back above water financially, the Republicans in the state legislature are busy trying to take advantage of the situation by ramming through malevolent bills while no one is watching.

And to make sure no one is watching, the Republicans have "rediscovered" that their rules don't allow citizens or even fellow legislators to record their misdeeds.

What needs to be done is that the state needs to bring this service back in-house. The City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, and many other local governments provide this service for their constituents, and there's no reason for the state not to do so.  It would bring them into compliance with transparency rules and also maintain a public record.

But the Republicans don't want that because transparency leads to accountability, and accountability leads to them winning fewer elections.

Wisconsin GOP Plays The Racist Card Early

 WISGOP launched an attack on Democratic gubernatorial candidates Mandela Barnes and Francesca Hong on social media yesterday.  The only problem was that it wasn't Barnes:

Hey, what do you expect?  Republicans think that all Black people look alike.

It shouldn't be surprising, however. They have a long history of racism and being wrong about almost everything.

ADDENDUM: It should be noted that the image the Republicans used was Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who is also running for governor.  However, Crowley is more closely aligned with the Republicans than his own chosen party.

How Does Wisconsin Investigate An Officer Involved Shooting?

In the wake of the murder of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, after initially welcoming the help of local law enforcement (probably the local feds idea), it is now being reported that state and local officials are blocked from the investigation and are being refused access to evidence (probably from the national hench people).

So essentially the perpetrator's bosses are investing their own...not likely to be very accurate or transparent given the preliminary before the facts pronouncements coming out of Washington.

But let's keep in mind how officer involved shootings are investigated in Wisconsin. First the officer is taken off the street and given an administrative job until the investigation is completed. And if the officer is from the Milwaukee Police Dept for instance, MPD doesn't handle the investigation. A neighboring law enforcement agency takes over...maybe the Waukesha County Sheriff's Dept or Racine Police Dept? And if something happens in another city or county, MPD may handle the case.   

But never never ever does a police department investigate their own officer when they are involved with a shooting. So why are the Feds locking out the locals in Minnesota? Well, we wouldn't want them to get any whitewash splashed on them now, would we? And given the clear and flagrant ignoring of the facts including the videos we have all seen, sadly, we know where this is going to go.

Trump: My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me...

This doesn't trouble a single Republican in the House or the Senate? 

"President Donald Trump reportedly told The New York Times that his "own morality" serves as the thing that could potentially limit his global powers -- adding that he doesn't "need international law."

As part of a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times published Thursday, Trump was asked Wednesday whether there were any limits to his global powers.

"Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” Trump reportedly said to The New York Times."

Trump has already proven that he thinks nothing can stop him in the United States...and now Venezuela. And nobody from his party sees any red flags here? He could simply lead us into a world conflagration and that's just fine because it met the incredibly low bar of Trump morality? Really?

I had a small hope the Marco Rubio might be something of a tempering presence in the West Wing...but he's turned out to be the biggest enabler there. wtf?

So taking this president's lead (remember when using 'this president' was a slur?), if my morality is loosey goosey, there are no crimes to commit? Because only MY mind can stop me!

Trump Vows To Protect Peaceful Protesters in Iran, But When His Thugs Kill Americans in Minneapolis?

 Just a few days ago as protests about the economy heated up in Iran, Donald Trump vowed to come to the aid of peaceful Iranian protesters.

But today one of his ICE henchmen murdered an American citizen in Minneapolis, who was apparently in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Trump is silent and his administration LIES through their teeth.

The entire chain of command needs to be held responsible and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

There ain't no Rule of Law in the US. 

And apparently he missed the point that Iranians are protesting over AFFORDABILITY

How do Rubio and all stand there and not smirk and laugh behind their hand? And where the flock is Congress? and ah...not to mention topics totally off subject.
