The Assassination Code

By Jeff Simpson 

We recently went through a time where The Donald ever so slightly, walked up to the edge of calling for the assassination of Hillary Clinton but once he showed his cards, he stopped because he got his message across.  

As George Lakoff points out, Trump did not accidentally say anything or get close to the line.  The Donald knew exactly what he was saying all along.   

Why bring that up again?   Because Mr. Trump is not part of the alt-right like our friends on the right keep trying to pass him off to be.    As our friends at Watchdog.org and Jimmy Wigderson show us, The Donald is very much part of mainstream GOP and not the only one who can call for an assassination of their political enemies.   

See Jim wrote a story about Tony Evers, who recently gave a State of the State of education speech to a forum on public education in Wauwatosa. In his speech, Superintendent Evers pointed out some of the pratfalls and problems of ACT10.   

No one is allowed to criticize ACT10 and James Wigderson sent that message loud and clear:

 
GET YOUR GUN: Superintendent Evers on competition for teachers: “It’s the wild west out there.”


There is Superintendent Evers - fellas GET YOUR GUNS!

No sooner did Wigs put that up online, and some of his followers heard the dog whistle.

Poaching teachers? After the way they disgraced themselves protesting I suppose it was inevitable but honestly I didn't even know there was a season on 'em. Is there a bag limit? Is it gun only or bow too? Can we still bait 'em with Walker signs? It worked in Jefferson.

  Black powder? Can disabled use a crossbow? Curious minds want to know so they can make hunting trip plans.

  Wonder if I can talk JJ Watt into inviting some Texans fans (aka me) back to WI for hunting season. ;-)

    As far as I know crossbows are legal for deer and the teachers aren't near as dear as deer.
    I'm not sure about the black powder though. Not that there would be an issue with muzzle loaders or in-lines but I'm not sure we can refer to it as "black" powder any more.

    Giving this season more thought it occurs to me that bore spears would be appropriate.

This was such a good discussion on the article of shooting teachers in WI that it is still up on the Watchdog.org website.   I guess that Watchdog.org, considers the duties of their "education reporter" to include calling for the assassination of elected officials who they disagree with.   

 What is ironic, is Watchdogs mission:

Watchdog.org’s mission is to restore oversight of our state governments, to hold politicians and bureaucrats at all levels accountable for their handling of taxpayers’ dollars and to promote innovative solutions to public policy challenges.  

I am guessing there will be no retraction, apology or firing of Mr. Wigderson, throwing the accountability part of their mission right out the door.   Secondly its not an innovative solution to how to get rid of a Democratic elected official they can not beat at the ballot box, because we saw The Donald beat him to that idea!

Wisconsin Reporter Is On The Case!

By Jeff Simpson

Ace Reporter Ryan Ekvall, took time off from harassing grade school art teachers, to blow a huge story wide open!  

His(Luther Olsen's) office leaked a draft version of a bill calling for an academic standards board to the Department of Public Instruction nearly a week before the final version was introduced in the Senate, Wisconsin Reporter has learned through an open records request. 

Then, in showing how far the republican party has sunk in Wisconsin, a simple staffer is one record as threatening elected Senator Olsen:

 “It was very clear that before the hearing on SB 619 there was a tremendous amount of work between Olsen and DPI,” Mikalsen said. “They were updating the DPI (on) what was going on behind the scenes to give them a heads up to mobilize against us. Everybody and his brother eventually realized the moment you told Luther’s office anything, it was going to straight to DPI.

This could be the biggest possible story ever written in Wisconsin's long history!

An elected Senator collaborated with the elected head of the Department of Public Instruction and his staff on an important issue to public education.  

Now thats a bombshell!

The next thing we need to deal with is who will play Ekvall in the movie?  

Don Pridemore III

We know that Don Pridemore has decided to run for State superintendent of Department of Public Instruction(DPI). 

To announce this good news, Don Pridemore recently went on an I am running for yet another office tour.   One thing you can say about Pridemore, at least he knows how to draw a crowd...

To be fair though, he and his staff, historically butcher press releases so badly that maybe no one knew he was coming!  Makes one wonder if his campaign manager, Bill Savage, graduated elementary school.   

It is probably good that no one showed up, because if they did, they would have reported on Pridemore's ignorance.

Here is Don Pridemore explaining why he is running(emphasis mine):

I’ve thought about it for a while now,” Pridemore said Wednesday. “I’m not real happy with some of the MPS (Milwaukee Public Schools), and not only MPS but the state public schools.”

He was especially not happy that Evers approached Gov. Scott Walker in November to ask for an additional $615 million in next year’s budget to fund Milwaukee Public Schools, money that Pridemore said is a waste since previous spending increases, in his opinion, did nothing to improve education.

Here is life outside the bubble:

 State and local funding for general Wisconsin public school operations would drop 5.5% in 2011-'12 while Milwaukee's private-school voucher program could be poised for a massive expansion under Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal, one that slashes $834 million in state K-12 education spending over the next two years*.

Finally  we know, that if Don was feeling bad that no one cared that he was announcing his run for the State's top education job,  Pridemore can always take solace and remember when times were good! 

Stay tuned, I am sure that Don Pridemore will be giving us plenty of material to be writing about through the April 2nd election!
