Scott Walkers Bad Company

By Jeff Simpson

A man is known by the company he keeps 

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin has entered the race for Governor and shortly thereafter, Scott Walker had a meltdown. 

He has shown a definite fear of Mayor Soglin entering the race for quite sometime. 

The "Moving WI Forward" Governor was tweeting this shortly after the new year.


Nothing says 2018 like a story and photo from 1975.   Of course there are more time relevant pics that Scott Walker has not tweeted out, so let me help a bit!

Scott Walker and the White Power conference:






Scott Walker and the Bad News Elephants:



 While it reads like a dime store rate Harry Potter knockoff, the reality is that Scott Walker, who has his own problems of picking friends, shows his desperation with his attacks on Mayor Soglin.  He is very vulnerable and he knows it!

Our character is reflected in our choice of friends.

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.






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]

Trump Tower In Trumptown

By Jeff Simpson



The incredible hold, The Donald has on his followers is awe-inspiring.   As he say, he can shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single fan(except maybe the person he shoots).


We know he mocked a disabled reporter, but we see why he did not lose any support for that, because he mocks his own supporters blind faith, and they eat it up.

"Thank you sir, May I have another" takes on a whole new meaning.  While we were worried that America was entering a new Gilded Age, the reality is we are now knee deep in the midst of the John Blutarsky age!

How are we raising children and citizens, to not question someone who brags that they can commit murder and not lose a single voter?   Could the "Strict Constitutionalists" not be so strict and  so Constitutional after all?

It is not like we are following The Donald blindly because of his strong faith, since he does not even know what his faith is.

From behind his desk on the 26th floor, Trump faced the Celtic cross at the top of the steeple of Johnston's church, located a block south on Fifth Avenue. When Johnston pointed it out to Trump, the President-elect responded by marveling at the thick glass on the windows of his office -- bulletproof panels installed after the election.
It was clear that Trump was still preoccupied with his November victory, and pleased with his performance with one constituency in particular.
"I did very, very well with evangelicals in the polls," Trump interjected in the middle of the conversation -- previously unreported comments that were described to me by both pastors.
They gently reminded Trump that neither of them was an evangelical.
"Well, what are you then?" Trump asked.
They explained they were mainline Protestants, the same Christian tradition in which Trump, a self-described Presbyterian, was raised and claims membership. Like many mainline pastors, they told the President-elect, they lead diverse congregations.
Trump nodded along, then posed another question to the two men: "But you're all Christians?"
"Yes, we're all Christians."
Yet when at his rallies, he asks for loyalty pledges, his followers are very willing to oblige.

Nein!

They not only oblige they completely degrade themselves in the process!


It amazes me that, in the year 2016, people were so upset that we had an African American president that they would compromise their values, and what our Country was founded on to make the White House, white again.

But wait! There is more!

It is not bad enough that rallies filled with hundreds of white people pledge their allegiance to Hair Trump, but his whole Cabinet, in their first Cabinet meeting, completely disparaged themselves!

The point of a Cabinet meeting under normal circumstances is to catch up on what is going on in the country and work on solutions to problems.   The point of a Trump cabinet meeting is to pledge loyalty and tell him how amazing he is!  

Truth is scarier than fiction!

The person at the front of the line was, The Donald's Chief of Staff,  Wisconsin's own Reince Priebus!



Apparently Reince Priebus is doing performance art, and recreating the Robert Downey character of Julian from Less than Zero.


To be fair, addiction can be a very hard thing to overcome!

My only advice to Reince is, when he sees Steve Bannon buying Flavor-Aid in bulk, stay away!  The aftertaste is deadly!

To all of our "tea party" friends on the right, please never speak again of your Love of our country and Patriotic tendencies!

WISGOP Stands Up For Free Speech (Sometimes)!

 By Jeff Simpson



Scott Walker, took the time out of his busy RGA campaign travel schedule recently, to let us have a peek at the budget ALEC wrote for him, that he plans on introducing.    While there were many interesting things in there, one thing I want to call attention to is something that has been called the Milo law.  

Milo Yiannopoulos, is the latest exhibit of the far right to show off "liberals intolerance",  The bigoted racist ignorant Milo, has caused a stir by speaking at college campuses, and where he speaks there are protests trying to keep him from speaking.   Milo gave a speech at Marquette recently, where he singled out a transgendered student, by name and photo, to give a wink wink to his far right supporters on who to target.  

This did not sit well with the sane among us, and so he has not been welcome by a majority of college students throughout the country.   Most people do not want their college littered with such hate and ignorance.  

This, right on cue, stirs up the faux outrage and unwarranted arrogance of the right.   Scott Walker, championing himself a defender of free speech(if you pretend the whole failed debacle of arresting people for singing in the State Capitol never existed), wants to write into law protecting free speech on campus.

The proposed companion budget bill elaborates, stating among other things, that:
  • The UW Board of Regents and each college campus “shall guarantee all members of the system's community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn.”
  • “It is not the proper role of the board or any institution or college campus to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”
  • Members of the system’s community are free to criticize and contest views expressed on campus and "speakers who are invited to express their views, (but) they may not obstruct or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others to express views they reject or even loathe.”
  • “The board and each institution and college campus has a responsibility not only to promote a lively and fearless freedom of debate and deliberation, but also to protect that freedom when others attempt to restrict it.”

To prove that Scott Walker "means what he says and says what he means", Milo is headlining the far right extreme CPAC conference this upcoming weekend.   Who will share the stage with the hateful Mr. Yiannopoulos?  Why Wisconsin's very own Scott Walker and Milwaukee's "Democratic" Sheriff David Clarke.  

Who cares if Milo advocates for pedophilia(he is so good at oral sex because of the Father who preyed on him when he was a teen), its all about "free speech" and besides if he pisses liberals off, then its worth promoting pedophilia,.

I admire Scott Walker for being unintimidated (plenty of books still available) and sticking to his guns and sharing a stage with Milo!   It is not like hanging out with adults who prey ion teenage boys is new to him.   Scott just needs to make sure to keep Alex away from the Twitter!

Anyway, this new found "love of free speech" is refreshing, it is just too bad it took a group of white power bigots to bring it out of the WISGOP.  

For those with a longer memory(since the WI Media seem to forget this), but in 2005, the University of Wisconsin -Eau Claire tried to bring Ward Churchill to campus to speak.  Churchill, a college professor,  was widely known as saying that the September 11th attacks on the US, were a result of  our foreign policy and calling the people who worked in the World Trade Centers "Little Eichmanns".  

This upset our friends on the left and the always good for a lunatic quote, Steve nASSelson had this to say at the time(H/T Oshkosh Independent for the best story on this written):

Much to the surprise of the Eau Claire students, the Wisconsin State Legislature tried hard to pressure Eau Claire into canceling the event, including the passage of a joint resolution. Steve Nass (R-Whitewater), in 2005 a member of the state assembly representing Whitewater, led the charge to prevent Churchill from speaking. He said “the university wants to hide behind free speech.”  He further told the Badger Herald, “This is not a question of free speech; this is stopping a person who uses hateful, disgusting speech.”


Now, it seems as though the WISGOP and Steve nASSelson has evolved.  Wait we do not believe in evolution, so I should say they "created" a completely new viewpoint.  Recently, there was a UW student, Dan Dropik, who tried to set up a White Nationalist group on the UW-Madison Campus(and who is a non traditional student, because he spent his college years in prison for setting fire to black churches).   Seems Dropik's idea was not very popular amongst the other students at UW and there was major pushback.  

Surprisingly (well not really), Dropik found a defender in the nASSelson combo:

Remember Steve Nass? In 2017 he is a Senator in the Wisconsin State Legislature. He has not yet made any in-depth comments about the governor’s “Milo Law” provisions, but he has threatened to push for reductions in UW funding based on the fact that courses are offered that he finds objectionable. So much for academic freedom. Worse, when non-traditional student at UW Madison Daniel Dropik–who it turns out had in the past been convicted of setting fire to African-American churches–tried to set up a White Nationalist group on campus, Nass somehow found a way to defend him. According to the Associated Press, “Nass spokesman Mike Mikalsen said while Nass disagrees with many of Dropik’s views, the university community unfairly targeted Dropik. ‘Individuals who have alternative viewpoints have a right to express themselves in a university,’ Mikalsen said. ‘That did not happen here.'”

If we could mine irony in WI we could pay off Scott Walker's massive credit card debt.

By the way, why didn't anyone ask Mikelson, since he "disagrees with many" of the views of the church burning white nationalist, which of his views does he agree with?

There is a short history of the love of free speech by the WISGOP in Wisconsin!

Editor note, while I was writing this blog, it seems CPAC has uninvited Mr. Milo to be their keynote speaker.  







Instead of the guy that advocates pedophilia they will have to listen to the arrested wife beater and the serial sexual assaulter. 

 I guess the people at the CPAC conference are just a bunch of snowflakes who need a safe space.

Sean Duffy Kills Gabby Giffords

By Jeff Simpson



Wisconsin's own "reality"TV star, turned dancer, turned lumberjack, turned Congressman, just killed a former peer without breaking a sweat.   When being pushed on why White Terrorism is not a concern but POC terrorism is something to hide behind your couch because of, Mr, Duffy, tries to save some face by pointing out that White Terrorism comes only from the Left.  

His exact line is "look at Gabby Giffords, a Marxist, a leftist took here life."  

The biggest problem with Duffy's Alternative facts is that Ms. Giffords, is very much alive.  Another problem with Mr. Duffys garbling is that Jared Lee Loughner, the person who shot Ms. Giffords, is far from a marxist, leftist.   As a matter of fact, while he was not really political, he was paranoid along the lines of our friends on the extreme right.

The director of research on hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center noted that Loughner's political positions were a "hallmark of the far right and the militia movement."[44] In the aftermath of the shooting, the Anti-Defamation League reviewed messages by Loughner, and concluded that there was a "disjointed theme that runs through Loughner's writings", which was a "distrust for and dislike of the government." It "manifested itself in various ways" – for instance, in the belief that the government used the control of language and grammar to brainwash people, the notion that the government was creating "infinite currency" without the backing of gold and silver, or the assertion that NASA was faking spaceflights.

Those pesky facts.  However it is much better to be thought of us the fool he is than the unbelievable racist thing that came out of his mouth earlier(emphasis mine):


 At that point, Duffy dismisses the Oklahoma City bombing as irrelevant to the discussion because it happened 20 years ago. He argues that the past ten years have presented only rare instances of white extremists committing terrorism. In doing so, he doesn’t take Aurora, Sandy Hook, or Colorado Springs into account, and when Camerota brings up how the Charleston church shooter was a white extremist, all Duffy can do is sputter, “Yeah, h-h-h-he was, okay?”Of the Charleston massacre, Duffy then adds, “Good things came from it,” which probably was not the wisest thing to say, although he was likely only referring to Nikki Haley’s removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse.
reread these words very very slowly:

Good.  Things.   Came.  Of.   It!??


9 innocent African American men and women were all executed inside a local church, simply because they had one thing in common - the color of their skin.  In Sean Duffy's world, this was a sacrifice that v     was not in vain because it forced the hand of South Carolina to finally bring down the Confederate flag.

Quick pause here.  While I understand that it is part of their heritage, it needs to be recognized as a huge black eye on their heritage(It would be like Wisconsin having a Joe McCarthy day).   There is nothing more anti American than flying the flag of a region that was traitorous and attacked their own nation.   Secondly, it appears their sacrifice was in vain, because the Confederate flag flies again in South Carolina.   Finally this was the scene in West Bend, WI when The Donald(who the MTv Congressman was one of the first supporters of)
I wonder how many people have to get shot in Wisconsin for Sean's supporters to stop flying the Confederate flag (PS: in Wisconsin, we actually FOUGHT the Confederates and over 12,000 Wisconsinites died.  When you fly the Confederate flag in WI, you celebrate their deaths not honor them!).    

Ok so when Sean Duffy, who of course has no answers but Democrats are bad....ends with this 


The lawmaker asked what could be done to address terrorism from white Americans.
"How should we vet that to keep ourselves safe? I will join you in that effort, what do you do," he asked. "It's horrible. What do we do on the white supremacy front to make sure we don't have another attack like Charleston?"

Once you get past the fact that a sitting Congressman, went on a national news program to discuss how to stop terrorism and asks the host for advice, you know that even a "bad high school student" would know the answers to this question.  
*  Stop allowing the Confederate Flag to be sold at your campaign events.   
*  Refuse to speak at these events if it is.  
*  When you flat out call someone a racist, DONT SUPPORT THEM for President!  
*  When the KKK Supports the same person you do for President, maybe rethink what your doing!
*  When you hire a white supremacist as your chief adviser, white supremacists will be empowered. 
*  When as President, you make a speech opening Black History month about yourself, then there might be a problem.  
*  When you appoint a person who has a history of racism as your Attorney General, that might empower racism.  
* When you shut down a fellow Senator who wants to read a letter from Coretta Scott King during Black History Month, you might be empowering racism.  




What amazes me, is that a Hollywood star gives a speech,asking us to be nicer to each other, while accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award,


And we get inundated with crap like this hammering us on a daily basis:

On Sunday evening, Hollywood elites gathered together to celebrate some of their favorite people — themselves! Yes, we’re talking about the Golden Globes.
Stealing the show was 30-time Globes nominee an eight-time winner, Meryl Streep, who, while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award, gave a speech none of us will soon forget. 
Streep’s predictable tantrum — complete with liberal fear-mongering and virtue-signaling — was hardly remarkable. What was striking, however, was the star’s blatant hypocrisy and implicit 
contempt for average Americans.


Liberals constantly lose elections because of saying things like:

“this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, ’cause it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.” 
Yet, A sitting Congressman can talk about "all the good things" that happened when 9 African Americans were slaughtered, and how its different if you get killed by a Brown person instead of a White person and he gets re-elected?


American Exceptionalism is not the phrase we are modeling!
