Shame On You Wisconsin

Wisconsin is such a disappointment. To think the democrats are demonizing Musk who, at great risk to his own business empire, is donating his time and resources to rooting out government corruption and the wasting of taxpayer dollars, yet is being portrayed as somehow taking away entitlements, Medicaid and Medicare in particular, is just a mind-bending concept. The accusations from the left that he is buying votes when democrat candidates have been Soros-funded for years is typically hypocritical.  The democrats are crowing about their political gains, but the same old entrenched tactics won the day. Milwaukee and Madison are Wisconsin’s largest population centers, and like most American cities, they are rife with welfare recipients, government employees, and liberal colleges and universities. Further, despite the DOGE team’s impressive performance on FOX with Brett Baier, the vast majority of the public is oblivious, instead barraged by the mainstream media talking points, the same hysteria that has whipped these mentally impaired leftists to vandalize Tesla dealerships. And exactly how Wisconsin voters were able to elect the decidedly progressive judge Crawford by 10 percentage points but on the same ballot supported an ID requirement for voting with a 25% margin, something that Crawford opposes incidentally, doesn’t make any sense at all. Just the concept that a judge is not impartial, bowing to progressive ideology rather than adhering to constitutional guidelines, is abhorrent. Wisconsin voters should be ashamed if that is at all possible. It increasingly appears that Americans are a product of our own education system and cannot read the handwriting on the wall. 

Democrat Dementia

The Democrats have gone from the ridiculous to the sublime in the throes of their Trump Derangement Syndrome. The Democrats are looking for any foothold to attack the Trump administration, regardless of how absurd it may be. I’m seeing the “Musk as a fascist” theme resurfacing because he proposed we hunt down whoever is supporting violent attacks on his dealerships; Hegseth and Waltz are “unqualified” for mistakenly using an encrypted app that was put in place and supposedly vetted by the previous administration (with no harm done incidentally) and widespread democrat support for rogue district judges opposed to deporting foreign criminals from our country. And somehow, a green card is a license to foment dissent and violent protest

 Somehow, rooting out corruption, waste, and fraud in the government is something to fight against. Further, did anyone on the left watch Brett Baier’s interview with the DOGE team? In a side-by-side comparison of competence, who do you want advising the president….the radical leftists that comprise the “Squad” or these accomplished entrepreneurs? I’ll take the astute businessman over the Marxists every time.  Do you want the folks who got involved in politics to get rich or the rich guys who got involved in politics to make America great again? 

So it’s about time that America realizes that the left does not have their best interests in mind; they’re nothing more than a vocal minority seeking to perpetuate the corruption that feathers their nests at the expense of we the people in the private sector. We just need bigger pumps to drain the swamp.

Rhode Island Model

Little Ole Rhody exemplifies the Democrats’ big government intentions, where the state employs 60% of its working population. Add in the state’s sizable welfare recipients, and you have a model for Democrat rule in perpetuity. This rule fostered such national legislative luminaries as Gina Raimondo and Sheldon Whitehouse. The Democrats aimed to replicate their RI success on a national scale. All was going well, but then came their worst aberration, the combination of Trump and Musk. Others talked of concerns over government loading, bloating, and inefficiencies. T&M and their merry band of ladies and gentlemen have taken an axe to it at breakneck speed. How refreshing! Yes, there will be collateral damage, hopefully to a minimum. Still, such drastic action was warranted in light of our steep trajectory toward social chaos, economic ruin, and loss of international eminence.

Medicare Backlash

I see Bernie is squawking about “Medicare for All” again. And by all, let’s be clear: all means everyone but Congress, of course, will retain whatever their very special version of Medicare. Meanwhile, DOGE has uncovered fraud and abuse in virtually every government agency, and yet Bernie wants to provide government-run healthcare to 350 million people.  Where in the world has universal healthcare provided adequate care to a population that large? Canada’s system has cracked, with a population of just 47 million, and the UK’s National Health Service is infamous for its inability to provide quality care for its 69 million inhabitants.  Imagine the scale of fraud and abuse we can expect so that we can receive a similar level of substandard care. Obamacare was just the prelude, and Covid accelerated the decline. Socialized medicine is the Marxist utopia of equality where your money is redistributed so everyone gets the same abysmal quality of care regardless of how much you paid in. Telemedicine anyone? In the end, you get what you pay for except for Bernie and the elitists. 

DOE Failed Mission

Watching the protests over Trump’s order to close the Department of Education is laughable. Especially the signs employing the typical democrat tactic of invoking “the children.”  They are now claiming that they are being unfairly scapegoated for lackluster student performance when, in fact, that’s not their responsibility. Really?  Then what exactly is their responsibility?  From where I sit, it would appear that they are nothing more than an arm of the teachers union. And as everyone knows, the department was formed during the Carter administration as a gift to the teachers union for their unwavering support of the Democrat Party. Fact. According to their website, their mission statement is “to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence.” So there you have it, in that they have failed miserably, just look at the statistics! Not to pile on, but coincidentally, what further stoked my ire, an acquaintance of mine, a ninth-grade social studies teacher, attended a “teacher wellness day” when the students were given a day off, and the teachers sat around, drank coffee and watched Saturday Night Live videos. How productive. Another friend of mine, in the same time frame, lent yet further to my agitation. He reported having recently moved to an up-scale neighborhood and wondered what his next-door neighbor did for a living. He had an expensive home and drove an expensive car but was home early every day, mowing his lawn and washing his car at 2:30-3:00 in the afternoon. He made some inquiries to find out he was superintendent of schools, with a yearly salary of $250K. Money well spent? Or top-heavy bureaucracy endorsed by the union. When Nancy Reagan proposed “no child left behind,” I don’t think this was what she had in mind. So if the Department of Education isn’t responsible for student performance and somehow reigning in the circus that has become our public school system, they actually serve no useful purpose and are the very definition of the government waste that has bloated our federal budget. Good riddance I say, and please forgive me all you dedicated school teachers and administrators out there who just got done in by association with a flawed system that disserved you in its political fervor and Progressive agenda.

Working Class Ken Casey

The leftist propaganda knows no bounds, no stone unturned …especially in Boston. Rolling Stone Magazine, which continues to refuse to stay in its lane and morphing into a mouthpiece for progressive disinformation, recently praised the frontman of the irrelevant Irish punk band “Dropkick Murphys” for calling out a fan who prominently displayed what they described as a “true Nazi edition MAGA hat” at a Fenway Park concert. You know, the black one that Elon made popular. In an expletive-laden tirade now endemic in leftist circles, Ken Casey went on at length to criticize MAGA supporters as being in a “cult.” He performed a song to honor his “grandparents and people who fought Nazis in the war and s**t,” proclaiming, “This is America; there are no kings here.”  So erudite is this, Mr. Casey. He has been known to criticize Pennsylvania for selling MAGA merchandise at his concerts, calling it a “MAGA flea market” and “another planet,” and lambasted a fan at a Florida concert for wearing a MAGA shirt, calling Trump a “grifter” and a “swindler” while claiming himself a man who history will record as “standing with the people, with the workers.”  Mr. Casey doesn’t get out much and should consider expanding his news source beyond the Boston Globe. If he read the room, he would realize that the working class he purports to represent overwhelmingly supports the President for policies that have caused their wages to rise and their streets to be safer while enforcing our borders. Yet the Boston liberal bubble continues to rail against the deportation of illegal immigrants causing crime in their streets and, especially in the supposedly devout Irish catholic community, reflexively supports the Democrat Party sponsors state-sanctioned abortion on demand, men participating in women’s sports and mutilating gender “affirming” care for minors. And historically speaking, Mr. Casey, was it, not your supposedly neutral Irish ancestors who refueled Nazi U-boats during WWII? And your brethren in South Boston who sent money and arms to support IRA terror bombings in Northern Ireland? Yeah, there’s that. So how about you and Rolling Stone both stick to your schtick, so to speak, enjoy your yearly St. Patrick’s Day in the sun, then crawl back under the rock from whence you came. And in the meantime, do some reading…..and enough with the ridiculous Nazi references. 

Pete Buttigieg

A signal that the Democrats are truly desperate:  Pete Buttigieg is being hailed as a potential senate candidate and eventually the face of the Democrat Party. And as a sign that he’s moving toward the center, he removed his pronouns from his web page. You have to be kidding me. America has spoken and chosen to move on from the left’s alphabet soup fixation and DEI initiatives that reek of bias and are patently unfair. And yet here they are, doubling down on a candidate who not only has a resume devoid of accomplishment but uses his LGBTQ status as his primary selling point. So go ahead and put all your overpriced eggs in that basket…. so that America can reject your agenda yet again. Enough already; these Progressive Democrats never cease to amaze me.
