10 Stories Flying Under The Radar

By Jeff Simpson

It has been a busy time of the year, and as you have noticed we have not done much blogging lately.  I still have somewhere around 783537 tabs open so time to clear it up a bit and share what I have been reading.

1.  The Donald has a new man crush - China's President Xi Jinping:

 "He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."

Nothing says Patriotic American like admiring a Communist dictator who has suspended all laws, to stay in power for life.  To be fair, we are nothing if not fair here, its a sweet gig to be able to golf 1/4 days in your job AND make a profit and full salary! 

You would think that golfing that many days in a year he would be good at it and not have to "cheat like hell".

If only we could call a Mulligan on his election. 

2.  Six teens are running for Governor of Kansas.  Following Sam Brownbacks incredible mess, Ole Yeller would be an improvement so why not some intelligent teens? 

Interesting fact, from the article that has been overlooked.  Every one of these teens has more experience around girls than Glenn Grothman. 

3.  The AR-15 lover, Republican Assemblyman Adam Jarchow, has announced he will not seek re-election.  Jarchow recently got beat badly by Patty Schactner when he tried to get a promotion to the Wisconsin Senate.  Jarchow, decided to take his ball and go home after his whooping. telling us that he is full of shit and does not belong in government as his reasoning.  The story here though, is the person running on the WISGOP side to replace Jarchow  - Gae Magnafici.  Gae has a great name but might possibly be the worst dresser in the history of mankind.

4. Tammy Baldwin recently was the guest at a Wispolitics luncheon where Leah Vukmir, tried to confront her with a gotcha question of "What do you have against corporate share buybacks and massive layoffs?".  If it is good enough for the undead, it is good enough for all of us!

5. Speaking of Vukmir - does she ever work?

Last night I officially hit 5️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ miles driven across Wisconsin since considering my Senate run. And I’m not done yet! (Started at 29K.) #WisconsinWay #wisen #wiright pic.twitter.com/lLhiP0ipFb

6.  Did you hear there was another school shooting.  Dale Hansen explains why we can not do anything about it:

7.  Leah Vukmir again(remember her from above), says your wrong, if we stop worrying about teenagers feelings we can stop these shootings!

 The self-esteem movement has become an entrenched feature in our schools and homes. The emergence of a psychotherapeutic culture of cushioning self-esteem at all costs has led to school programs aimed at coddling teens instead of encouraging their growth and independence …[O]ur national obsession with the feelings of teenagers has played an enormous but heretofore unrecognized role in what is transpiring nationwide. Unless we change our attitudes and approach to dealing with the normal developmental phase of years known as adolescence, I fear another Columbine is inevitable.

Dont worry Leah, The Donald hears you!

8.  Ben Shapiro, the racist snowflake who Robin Vos wrote special protection legislation in WI for, really hates that African Americans are allowed to be in movies. 

9.  Speaking of Republicans, progressives, independents, moderates and the citizens of America have a new arch enemy - The DCCC!

Last night, Annie Rice won a resounding victory, with nearly 60 percent of 8th ward voters choosing her to represent them on the city's Board of Aldermen.
But later this month, the Democratic Central Committee will weigh a bylaw change directly aimed at punishing Rice's supporters. If members approve the proposed amendments, anyone who "supports or endorses" candidates like Rice "shall be subject to censure." Committee members who follow in Rice's footsteps and run for office without the party's blessing could face removal.

10.  Want to make your boss happy?  Send people to his hotel so he can make some more money! 

Bonus:   Remember when after the last election all local progressive talk was taken off the radio because "no one listened", well not sure it was the best business move.  With hate radio dominating the air waves, what happens? 

Bankruptcy of course! So long Iheartradio we barely got to know you.

Double Bonus:  Nothing really matters because the crayfish are going to take over the world anyway. 

Scott Walker's Nauseating Ensemble

By Jeff Simpson

“A man is known by the company he keeps”   ― Aesop

Scott Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin will once again be traveling during Wisconsin Taxpayer time to attend a far right conference where they will be addressing a bunch of students in Florida. 

This event is a Tuesday-Friday(week day working days) and noticeably, Scott Walker is the only person attending who is an elected representative and actually has a job.   

However, the group that Scott Walker will be sharing the stage with, are not people who you would invite over for Thanksgiving.    

First off, the featured speaker is Donald Trump Jr.   Do people really pay him for his insight or for access?   Donald Trump Jr, is taking time away from his discussions with wiki leaks to address a group of impressionable minds.     I wonder if he clears his speech with Julian Assange?  

But wait there is more! 

Also sharing the stage with Scott Walker, is Eric O'Keefe's(only related by Satan) good friend - James O' Keefe.   The three of them, all teamed up a couple years ago,  to goad Mike Ellis, into a drunk silly rant that cost him his seat.   

You will hear James O'Keefe's name in the news in the coming days because he just did something I did not think could be done.   He reached a new low.   One of the most despicable human beings in the world, was able to actually outdo himself in slime.   

James O'Keefe is the head of Project Vermin Veritas, and their main mission is to catch Democrats and moderate Republicans, in even a remotely compromising position so they can ruin their career and hopefully their life.   

In an effort to try and get the Pedophile Roy Moore, GOP candidate for the upcoming Senate special election, off the hook.   - Let's let that sink in for a second before we move on.  

Project Veritas, sent a woman to talk to some Washington Post reporters with a completely false story about the pedophile Roy Moore.  While she was telling this fable, another member of PV was near filming her telling the story and the reaction of the reporters.      

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore’s candidacy if she went public.

Excited to join @TPUSA for the biggest student event of the year! #SAS2017 pic.twitter.com/7IXxvTMnxm

For those scoring at home:  James O'Keefe came up with a plan to fake pedophilia to get a known pedophile off the hook and become a member of the US Senate.    

But wait there is more!  

Deadbeat Dad and known racist Republican Joe Walsh will also be there:

Joe Walsh

✔@WalshFreedom

He calls Trump a "cheap cracker." On national TV.
Would a comedian still have a job if he called Obama a "nigger?" http://www.thedailybeast.com/snls-michael-che-calls-trump-a-cheap-cracker-over-puerto-rico-response …

Along with White Supremacist, and Kevin Nicholson supporter, Steve Bannon. 

A quick aside, Steve Bannon had this to say about the mighty Paul Ryan:

“limp-dick motherfucker who was born in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation”. 

That should make for some good conversation over Miller Lite and Papa Johns Pizza, in between speeches.  

But wait there is more: 

 Dinesh D'Souza, who must be done with his court ordered confinement, to travel and speak. 

Also appearing with Mr. Walker - Ben Shapiro.  I wonder if he will be making a second racist video calling out Native Americans as Cannibals and defending the pedophile Chris Columbus.  

Then there is another videographer, serial predator Bill O'Reillys good friend, Jesse Watters who put out such brilliant work as this.  

I am sure Scott Walker looks forward to hanging out, drinking with his racist, white supremacist buddies, putting on their best glory suit, their #MAGA caps, and grabbing a tiki torch and heading out on the town!   

By the way, in case you are wondering who is sponsoring this crazy hate filled event?  

Turning Point USA! 

Who is Turning Point USA you ask? 

This is Turning Point USA! 

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends. [Japanese proverb] 

The Lilliputian Mind of Robin Vos

By Jeff Simpson

We discussed the unconstitutional bill that was written by the taxpayer funded right wing Goldwater Institute and pushed forward by Rep. Jesse Kremer and Rep. Robin Vos, in terms of the neverending supply of irony and hypocrisy that the WISGOP keep mining.  

As if we did not have a lifetime supply already, Jesse Kremer and Robin Vos gave testimony today on the bill.  One of the unintended consequences of a bill written to whine legislate the false perceptions that only liberals are allowed public forums, is to make sure the reporters covering your event, would never paint you as the fool you are.  


Vos, Kremer: Bill to protect speech on campuses necessary after recent incidents

Lets look at some of the things that Robin Vos said(some reported on and some not):

“Intolerance and physical aggression have replaced healthy debates and a free marketplace of ideas” at universities, Vos said. “We cannot have a debate if only one side is allowed to show up.”

Which brings to mind this: 

Can we please get someone in the mainstream media to ask Mr. Vos why he wants different standards in the partially funded UW University system than in the 100% taxpayer funded State Capitol?

Next they listed three incidences as "justification" for ending free speech as we know it on Campus:

Speakers cited well-publicized, disruptive protests against controversial speakers at the University of California-Berkeley and Middlebury College in Vermont, as well as a demonstration that interrupted part of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro’s talk at UW-Madison last fall.

Lets look at each one a bit more in depth: 

!.  University of California-Berkeley:  A right wing institute, funded by Betsy DeVos(yes that Betsy), has come up with a plan to send some of the most despicable people in America on speaking tours of college campuses to get this reaction to show how "intolerant the left is".    They tried to bring Milo Yiannopoulos to speak on campus and the students were not very excited about that.    If the name Milo rings a bell, that is because he was at Marquette speaking recently and he outted a transgender student by name and picture, putting their safety in danger.  

There was a protest of Milo from local students and a counter -protest of Trumpers which resulted in some violence and 20 people arrested.   While it is handy to blame "the liberals" for that, let us not forget that half of the protesters are staunch followers of this guy: 

Hard to believe where the violence comes from.  

2.  Middlebury College in Vermont:   Robin Vos made a point over and over that since the University system is publicly funded, we have a responsibility to pass this bill.    Middlebury College is a private liberal arts college located in Middlebury, Vermont. The college was founded in 1800 by Congregationalists making it the first operating college or university in Vermont.    Private college, so its apples and oranges and a noncomparison.  

3.  Ben Shapiro's talk at UW - Madison.   Shapiro, a young hate filled Breitbardt writer, was interrupted by protesters for a full ten minutes, before he was allowed to finish preaching his hate and ignorance.   It takes a serious big government Republican to make a new overreaching law because a protester had to deal with a ten minute delay.   In case your wondering, this is Shapiro in Madison:  

 He seems nice.   

But wait there is more.  More ridiculous things said by Robin Vos.  This for instance: 

Greg Neumann‏ @gneumann_wkow

.@SpeakerVos says liberals want to control so much, what people eat, etc - can't believe they're saying legislators shouldn't control this.

I guess Robin Vos has authored so much poor legislation that he forgot all about this!

Assembly Bill 177 would limit the types of food that could be purchased with Wisconsin’s food stamp program, FoodShare.
In addition to banning the purchase of foods such as lobster with the publicly-funded program, the legislation would also require that just over two-thirds of the benefits be used to purchase healthy foods:
“A lot of people, an awful lot of people who are on FoodShare are also on BadgerCare, so there is a direct financial benefit not just to the individual, which of course is obvious to have better health, but also to state taxpayers and society as a whole,” Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, told the Associated Press.  

Robin, passes bills that actually tell people what they can eat and blames it on the liberals.  Is that ignorance, or just an extraordinary ability to lie?

Wait there is even more, some gems from Robin Vos that never were reported on:

*  "We believe that sunshine is the best disinfectant for reprehensible speech".   Robin Vos.    

I am curious if that means, with reprehensible members like Bob Gannon, that Robin Vos will be ending the incredulous practice of closed partisan caucuses.   I am pretty sure that sunshine shared  the inner thoughts of some of the members of the WISGOP caucus and the only place that would hire  some of the members hate filled, ignorance would be rightwisconsin.    

*  "We checked and almost all speakers were liberal. It makes no sense to not invite their opposition."  Robin Vos.    

Is Robin Vos that small minded that he believes there are only two sides to every issue?   For instance, Steven Levitan will speak at the commencement this spring, who exactly is the "conservative opposition" to him?  I guess they could have who ever came up with the "half hour news hour" comedy/news show on Fox as opposition to one of the smartest, funniest longest lasting sit coms in history.    Not sure who would be interested in hearing them, though.   

Another instance, Michael Sam, the first openly gay player who was on an NFL Roster gave a speech at UW-LaCrosse.  IS he considered liberal?   Who would be "the conservative opposition" to his speech?  Darren Sharper?  

Looking at the other end, one of the heroes of the right(and the reason behind the Middlebury College protests) is Professor Charles Murray.  According to Murray, disadvantaged groups are disadvantaged because, on average, they cannot compete with white men, who are intellectually, psychologically and morally superior.   Who exactly would "the opposition" be to Mr. Murray on the left?  Neil de grasse Tyson?   

We need bigger thinkers running our Government then such closed minded people as Robin Vos and Jesse Kremer.   

*  Finally, Robin Vos in trying desperately to make his point, brought up Global Climate Change.  "Global warming is one of the biggest debates right now.  There are a whole bunch of people on one side who believe it is real and there is a whole bunch of people on the other side who believe it isn't."  Robin Vos.    
Actually no Robin there is not a bunch of people on each side.   There are an almost near unanimity of peer reviewed scientists on one side and a whole bunch of people who make money on polluting the environment and the politicians they have purchased on the other side.   97% of scientists know it is man made and a major problem.    Should there be 50/50 speakers when the topic is 97/3?    

This is not even a solution in search of a problem, it is more a desperate group of people who know their grip on society is loosening by the second and they will do anything to not give up power.    This anti free speech bill, needs to be killed in committee and never heard from again.  

The first amendment does not guarantee you a chance to speak, it does not give you a public forum, nor does it mean people have to listen to you.  The First Amendment specifically says that our Government can not legislate speech, which is exactly what Robin Vos and Jesse Kremer are attempting to do here.   

Its ironic that while the WISGOP legislators are trying to figure out how to force their views on more people, the graduating seniors of Bethune Cookman, exercised their right to free speech as the Founders envisioned and showed us why the old oligarchy is scared and why the future of our country is in good hands, as long as our country and world is still around to pass on to them!
