Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Lakewood Police Department, a small town near Tacoma Washington where four police officers were gunned down at a coffee shop. “It was just a flat out ambush,” Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Today is a day where we all express our Thanks for the goodness and bounty we in America have. There is always more we would like to have, but there is undoubtedly no place where these wishes [...]
I got this from my BrotherFromAnotherMother Jime, it is too true not to post. It is a bit long, but if you think voting for Barack Obama didn’t matter, you will have to click below the fold (if viewing from the main blog page).
The Fundamental Transformation of America
When Obama [...]
If you had bad news to release, could you ask for a better time than this afternoon? The start of a 4 day holiday (for most people), gives a great opportunity to dump unsavory information, giving you 4 days of very little news coverage, and by the time next Monday [...]
Now Barry is bowing down before a commie.
That’s Communist Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao that your president is bowing before today. Nice job Barry.
[...]I’m glad that those that watch the media are noticing that most of the media is refusing to cover the fact that Global Warming “scientists” have been caught red handed falsifying data to perpetuate their lie to the American people.
As Rush Limbaugh has been pointing out for years, [...]
After many months, and many deaths, your President seems to have finally been told what to do on the request for more troops that HIS General has been begging for for months while Obama ignored and avoided him. Reports are that he will finally announce on Dec. 1st. that he [...]
Woah, James T. Harris has made an incredible educational video, please take a few moments and watch it.
If you aren’t part of The National Conversation, you are missing out!
[...]Since I couldn’t find any links to this story, I decided to just print it out as I read it on page 6A of today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It’s too bad I can’t provide the obviously photo-shopped A.P. picture (read sarcasm) which accompanies the article and shows what the caption [...]
Rep. Jon Richards (D-Milw.) is the latest liberal that thinks you are stupid. He has an opinion piece telling us that our parks are falling apart, but he will save us by… wait for it… Raising our taxes.
This is the same Parks System that just won the National Recreation [...]
Most of Courthouse custodial staff calls in sick
19 of the 25 county custodial workers called in sick today in an obvious job action… I’d mail their last check to their home address.
[...]The Wisconsin Department of Justice (D.O.J.) filed a criminal complaint against Yadira Colon alleging two counts of election fraud and two counts of falsification of nomination papers occurring in March and June, 2008.

Check Comments for updates.
[...]The AP has dedicated 11 reporters to investigate and fact check every line of Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue: An American Life, but not one reporter was tasked to investigate books by Barry Obama, Sen. Ted Kennedy, then-Sen. Joe Biden, or the autobiographies by Bill or Hillary Clinton. [...]
A reader and frequent commenter on BB sent this MJS article to me this morning and asked what State Senator George Spencer Coggs would think about this MPS teacher being suspended with pay after having been arrested in a child porn case. It was Coggs who led the charge [...]
Charlie Sykes brings us another look into the typical SEIU union thug mentality.
In pursuit of an Eagle Scout badge, Kevin Anderson, 17, has toiled for more than 200 hours hours over several weeks to clear a walking path in an east Allentown park.
Little did the do-gooder know that his [...]
Scott Walker has done his part:
Walker uses veto to revive spending cuts, privatization
As promised, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker used his veto Monday to cut $10 million in spending the County Board added to his 2010 budget and to thwart the County Board’s efforts to kill several privatization [...]
After four back-to-back weekends out of town, I’ll tell you honestly that “general housekeeping” around the primary homestead has taken a bit of a “back seat” around my place in recent days. On my way out the door this morning, hustling to get my daughter to school on time after [...]
Does anyone think for one minute that if a Bush-era official is/was responsible for failing to take appropriate action to prevent the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, Obama would be telling Congress to hold their water? During his brief tenure in the US Senate, do you think he would have [...]
We’ve all been wondering why Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett took so long to announce his run for Wisconsin Governor. Could it be some devious strategizing by high-level Dem operatives?
Tom Barrett’s oratory audible during his lackluster announcement, as mentioned by Patrick, was nothing more than his [...]
Milwaukee Mayor, Tom Barrett, the most reluctant candidate I have ever seen, has decided that he will run for Governor Jim Doyle’s 3rd term.
Barrett says he’s healed, ready to run for governor
So the man who, as a state legislator voted for the largest state tax increase and while [...]
The local media will show you a soundbite or two of today’s Citizens for Responsible Government sponsored Veto Super Rally, but here at BadgerBlogger, you can get the whole story. We start with Scott Walker speaking to the crowd of 1,100 on why his budget vetoes must be upheld.

Why do judges continue to release people that are convicted if a serious crime? As of now, no one knows for sure where this convicted Pedophile is, his mother thinks this Pedophile is taking one more swing through Disney World… Pedophile — Disney World… Yeah.

It’s a good thing my grandfather’s already deceased, because this photo probably would have killed him.

I wish more judicial races were contested, but Waukesha County will have at least one. State Rep. and Iraq War veteran Mark Gundrum will be challenging Doyle appointee Richard Congdon in April.
State legislator announces run for Waukesha County judgeship
State Rep. Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin) said Friday that [...]
The Journal Sentinel is reporting, Barrett plans to run for governor.
So the most reluctant candidate I have ever seen has finally decided on, although still hasn’t announced, a race against Scott Walker for Wisconsin Governor.
Bring It On!
[...]Welcome to Milwaukee Archbishop Listecki.
Listecki named Milwaukee Archbishop
Seven months after Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan left for New York, the Vatican on Saturday announced his successor, naming Bishop Jerome Edward Listecki of La Crosse as the new spiritual leader of Southeastern Wisconsin’s nearly 700,000 Catholics.
Listecki, 60, will be installed [...]
Yep, Barack Hussein Obama had decided that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court. This means they will have all of the same rights and protections as you do.
Unfortunately, [...]
it’s Friday, that means this is your Weekend Open Line! You may use or abuse this post as you see fit.
I just have one reminder, if you believe that Milwaukee County should approve Scott Walker’s budget, join Scott and a few thousand fellow supporters this Saturday at a rally to [...]
Mayor Tom Barrett said he would announce if he will or will not run for governor, by the end of this week… Will he run or will his refusal be a Friday Document Dump?
My opinion, as it has been all along, he will not run.
What say you?
[...]Veteran Madison TV news bloodhound, WKOW’s Tony Galli called out Milwaukee-area state legislator Tim Carpenter at his “Inside Scoop” blog earlier in the week.
Like many of us, it seems Carpenter must be running short on free time. According to Galli, he recently proceeded to sign “oodles” of wreath-adorned [...]
Choices, choices. This Saturday, November 14, you can make plans to attend CRG’s Veto Super Rally at the Italian Community Center from 1-3 P.M.

Good ‘ol Chris Liebenthal, known to the Wisconsin blogosphere as the prolific “capper,” has once again confirmed where the true hatred is in American politics. How hate filled do you have to be to mock a child with Down Syndrome, then attack and blame the child’s parent, just because he [...]
The MacIver Institute brings us a warning from Wisconsin State Rep. and former meteorologist Jim Ott that Governor Jim Doyle’s Global Warming Task Force may be ready to launch a series of bills that will launch Wisconsin’s own little Cap & Trade legislation. This would be devastating to Wisconsin’s already [...]
Sorry, it’s been a little slow, I have been fighting off a bug, but there are a few things I need to point to, perhaps others will expound on them in Comments.

I thank God every day for America’s Veterans and for those serving on active duty. The words “thank you” are so small, but the feeling behind them can’t be expressed with mere words.
[...]Your President couldn’t be bothered with it, but 20 years ago, the Berlin Wall came crashing down.
Why didn’t you attend Mr. President? Is is because your party fought to preserve, and today even fight to institute socialist oppression in America?

Wow, it’s been 5 years since I decided that I would put my thoughts and ideas about current events and politics, on a blog that I originally called My View of the World. I never thought anyone would care, I expected it would be sort [...]
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Education reporter Alan Borsuk has an article in today’s MJS which provides some insight into Barack Hussein Obama’s (mmm mmm mmm) visit to a Madison school this past week. Borsuk refers to it as a subtle message “aimed right at Wisconsin and Milwaukee”. I’d interpret it [...]
The House of Representatives just passed Pelosi Care. Fascism is alive and well, in the American Democratic party.
Feel free to leave your thoughts.
[...]PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail
Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in [...]
My State Senator, Lena (I’m an attorney, you know) Taylor was called to testify before a secret John Doe hearing. She refused to testify, invoking her 5th Amendment right against self incrimination. Since she is not the target of this investigation, prosecutors granted her immunity from prosecution in this case [...]
This is probably going to be a busy Weekend Open Line, there are lots of things to talk about, PelosiCare, Cap & Trade, local & state politics & more.
So without further ado, here is YOUR Weekend Open Line, the place where you decide what the topic of discussion is.
[...]I am sure you all join us in prayer for the victims and families of those killed and wounded in the attack at Fort Hood today.
[...]I know, I know. There are many issues of substance which we should all be focusing on.
But sometimes, you just need a distraction. Especially one that celebrates the best of America.
Thousands have joined in Washington DC for an impromptu TEA Party to protest the gargoyles health care disaster. It should also be noted that the Dems just slammed Cap & Trade, the largest tax increase in US history, through a key committee too.

I got a good laugh when WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes talked about this article from the Chicago Tribune. They know how Chicago politics work, and Barry is nothing but a Chicago politician, so they ran the numbers.
Illinois data on stimulus-related jobs saved, created don’t add up

Not a lot of time to comment this morning, but did catch this article written by Liz Sidoti, AP National Political Writer which contains an interesting summary of yesterday’s elections and an almost overlooked blurb from Harry Reid announcing that healthcare won’t be finalized this year.
GOP won big in the NJ [...]
Scott Walker voluntarily gives back almost 50% of his salary his first six years in office…totalling about $360,000. He then opts to scale back his voluntary pay cut to about $10,000 per year. Seems to me Walker was leading by example well before he demanded any sacrifice from anyone else [...]
Selfless humanitarian? No. True believer? Nope. Eco-warrior? Naahhh. Just another jerk looking to play the system to benefit himself while tricking the masses into revering him as a Green Messiah.
Give credit to Great Britain’s media for asking the inconvenient questions…you know, the kind you rarely see in [...]
Just letting you know, in case you’re confused. The Wright Middle School you’ll be visiting in Madison tomorrow is NOT named after your mentor, friend, and 20+ year pastor Jeremiah Wright. I just thought someone should let you know.
While we’re on the topic of Reverend Wright… he’s the gift [...]
Today marks the one year mark from the election that we hope will sweep Scott Walker, and common sense back into to the Governors mansion in Madison. There is still a long way to go, and even though the Democrats are in disarray, we know that liberal forces will put [...]
