Signs of the times
We believe we are royally screwed. In a few weeks political yard signs will sprout like dandelions on a No Mow lawn in progressive Madison — alongside the ubiquitous “In This House We Believe …” signs. (Notice? God is never among the listed.) Candidates who take Blaska’s advice do so at their own peril but we do believe in Keep It Simple, Stupid. (Sometimes simple AND stupid!) Resist the urge…

Yeah, Dane County Board defunded police
As a public service, we out the supervisors from rural areas who should know better but who voted to cut the sheriff: Continue reading Yeah, Dane County Board defunded police What else would you call at $2,388,000 reduction? Who are you going to believe, the Democratic-endorsed Dane County supervisors claiming they’re not defunding the police or your lying eyes? Incredibly — as in: you gotta…

Brave voices are stirring
But courage is needed. It is only a small generalization to say that elected government in Madison and surrounding Dane County wallows in guilt, apologizes for success, cultivates grievance, and celebrates victimhood. Now Mayor Satya wants to fly the Ho Chunk flag at city hall at equal height with the U.S. flag. The stolen land thing, doncha know. Much of this lovely city’s nonsense emanates…

Our crystal ball awaits parts from our North Korean supplier. (It’s a supply chain thing.) At issue, whether to authorize another $24 million atop the $150 million approved a year ago due to the escalating price of, well,…

The science is real! Progressive Dane alders will find it more difficult to vote against cameras worn by police officers after a report issued by UW-Madison law professor Keith Findley. Findley chaired the committee that proposed the Police Civilian Oversight Board and is an alternate on that board. In a memo issued today to Mayor Satya and the Common Council, Findley said introduction of…

One of the residents discovered that her purse and other items … had been taken and some of those…

Progressive Dane elects 7 Madison alders, down 2
Progressive Dane elected 7 alders in Tuesday’s 04-06-21 Madison Common Council election out of 13 the Hard Left party endorsed. That’s down from nine in the council elected two years ago. Isthmus PD alder Marsha Rummel did not seek re-election and her unchallenged successor Brian Benford (somehwat surprisingly) is not PD. PD endorsed Christian Albouras in 2019 but wised up and did not seek their…
