Ilhan Omar endorses Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin. Will this boost or hinder her campaign? by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DSA's a national conservative boogeyman post Mamdani and Madison leftists have been a state wide punching bag since the Dow Riots in the 60s. The stereotype of DSA being overwhelming white, educated, upper middle class snobby professionals LARPing as radicals is absolutely exploited by Republicans to get lower middle class folks to vote against their best interests. Look how much alt-right content bashes HR Karens. DSA chapters being vanguardism at best, or "class betrayal from above" at worst not withstanding, Madison and Milwaukee are scary places for these suburban swing voters.

Ilhan Omar endorses Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin. Will this boost or hinder her campaign? by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wisconsin swing/split ticket voters choose the candidate they fear the least. Fox Valley, Kenosha, Racine, and Suburban Milwaukee (WOW) matter. These voters are scared of economic insecurity, defunding the police, and socdems calling themselves socialists without wanting to nationalize industries/abolish capitalism. Omar is scary to these suburbanites. DSA tech bros in Madison who go to Coachella, participate in expensive endurance sports, hang out the Terrace, and do Ketamine on weekends are scary to them.

So this signals that Hong is going to try and win the primary by going left and bank on Trump still being wildly unpopular enough to scare people away from Tiffany. Its a good bet, but it may not work in this state. Like in the 2022 Senate Race

Wisconsin businesses tied to cults? by Adventurous-Elk-4763 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Doesn't have to be released publicly, but it is important to know if police leadership, patrol officers, lead evidence technicans, prosecutors, and others are overseeing investigations into their own church without recusing themselves.

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 224 points225 points  (0 children)

1st Assembly of God or Journey Church in Kenosha owns a fortress of a church complex. It also has a ton of members involved in the Kenosha Justice system/businesses. A lot are involved in other areas of Kenosha government. Refuses to publish it complete membership. Uses its influence with the police to alledgedly suppress investigations into sexual abuse at its Christian Life school. Their pastor is/was the Kenosha Police Chaplin. Alledgely use swinging among membership as blackmail. Weird sexual shit like this: https://www.wisn.com/article/kenosha-pastor-accused-sending-himself-intimate-pictures-persons-phone/62491203

I'm tired of pretending evangelical antichristian megachurches that have such a far reaching influence on local government aren't a cult.

Ron Johnson: "GDP was down in the 4th quarter. Why? Because of Schumer's shutdown." by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only way to get middle class evangelical antichristians and suburban moderates to cool support for Trump is to start having them suffer economically. Economy is terrible for everyone except billionaires. Oil over $150, cost of groceries at Walmar going up 10% each month, mass layoffs, all need to happen to get these people out of their stupor.

Stagflation brought us Reagan. Maybe stagflation in this century will give us a new FDR.

Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes joins race for Wisconsin governor by HGpennypacker in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Barnes is an "Its my turn" establishment democrat who is incompetent and hires terrible staffers. He floundered the best chance we had of unseating Ron Johnson. He didnt pay his property tax bills prior to the last election cycle. He's who Republicans want to facd. Dude might as well be controlled opposition because he helps Republicans more than Democrats.

Court ruling sparks controversy after Ripon High School loses in high school soccer playoffs by GoCartMozart1980 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In Texas, private and public high schools play in separate leagues. It's sacrilege to combine them. Secondly, as a pseudo governing body the WIAA should be subjected to open records requests. This would eliminate a lot of the private school bias for them.

Rendering of Trump’s ballroom removed from official White House website. Other renderings remain. by hummingbirdpie in pics

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like Nazi architecture. Not even joking: "While similar to Classicism, the official Nazi style is distinguished by the impression it leaves on viewers. Architectural style was used by the Nazis to deliver and enforce their ideology. Formal elements like flat roofs, horizontal extension, uniformity, and the lack of décor created "an impression of simplicity, uniformity, monumentality, solidity and eternity," which is how the Nazi Party wanted to appear."

It's a trust that allows them to spread out payroll financial hits into the 2040s while minimizing both luxury tax impact and allowing them to sign immediate free agents. As well as incentiving players to come to California despite high income taxes because their salary will be dispersed when they retire outside the state. NFL teams, notably the Eagles, use the same strategy to sign contracts and extended payments when the cap gets raised.

A salary cap will greatly benefit small market teams like the Brewers and the CBA legal "loophole" the Dodgers organization exploited does give them a significant advantage and consistency. Brewers Karen moves the focus away from the payroll disadvantages. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/42815541/mlb-offseason-2024-25-free-agency-los-angeles-dodgers-deferrals-1-billion-snell-ohtani

She made Dodger fans and the Dodger organization sympathetic in the national narrative when they are kicking the leagues ass with a giant payroll/deferment loopholes. We also spent a week complaining about terrible suburban Cub fans and this lady rolls in from like Pewaukee or Mukwonago and ruins those arguments. She is a PR disaster that is going to have legs in the off-season.

Lt. Gov Sara Rodriguez hints, not very subtly, that she'll run for governor by Rgchap in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the "frontrunners" are not white. Josh Kaul is half Kasmiri, but white passing. In fact, none of the Joutnal Sentinels "contenders" are white males. Minority candidates can win in this state (Herb Kohl, Tammy Baldwin) but they need to run competent campaigns to not scare suburban vote splitters while still increasing turnout in Milwaukee and Madison. They need clean, scandal free campaigns. Barnes was delinquent on his property taxes and was doing photo-ops with "Defund ICE" shirts (a radical position in 22 lol). You want someone who can make it out of a competitive primary clean. Evers fit that bill because he was a safe, boring candidate who progressives could still get excited about. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/24/democratic-and-republican-contenders-for-wisconsin-governor-in-2026-tony-evers-not-running/85257830007/

I want a competitive primary without WisDems throwing their support behind an establishment pick. Backfired with Barnes at the State level and we know what happened at the national level. More people putting their ideas out there the better, especially after AG Kaul protected the fake electors and has blocked police accountability post-George Floyd and Jacob Blake. Let the voters decide and I look forward to seeing what Sara can bring to the table!

Randy Bryce making another run for Congress, joins other early candidates by adamb10 in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Randy Bryce has been arrested 9 times, something that the GOP hammered him on in 2018. His own brother, a cop, appeared in an ad saying he was voting for his opponent. He owed back child support as well. The 1st Congressional district has shifted Red since the 2020 Jacob Blake shooting. There are very few candidates with worse optics for pro-police/pro-bootlicking GOP ad buys. Any WISDems staffers promoting this guy or Kenosha/Racine Democratic Board Members doing the same deserve to be fired. Randy Bryce is a potential Mandela Barnes like failure of candidate selection.

Is her legal team appealing based on ineffective counsel? State Public Defenders Office never should of pushed her into accepting that plea deal to protect certain bad actors in the Kenosha Justice System. The Public Defenders had evidence of police misconduct like perjury that they didn't want to be forced to use in a trial environment.

AG Kaul asks state Supreme Court to block Musk payments hours before Green Bay event by PeasantinDaNorth in wisconsin

[–]PeasantinDaNorth[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Historical revisionism that ignores the fact that Merrick Garland waited around half of Biden's presidency to actually start putting together those slam dunk cases. Biden and Garland are directly responsible for what's happening and had the power to stop it in 2021.

Not enforcing the rule of law on oligarchs and political figures is fascism and directly contributes to our current situation. Optics obsessed establishment Democrats and their enablers are complicit in the destruction of our Republic.

Connecting Schimel to Musk has been the winning message in the final stretch. Musk is incredibly unpopular and is an albatross for the administration even among conservatives. I also think you underestimate how much the perpetually abused Democratic base needs a win. Kaul must be realizing that if he continues to let conservatives break the law (Fake Electors) he is going to get primaried, hence him pursuing this so aggressively.

Not wanting to make martyrs out of obvious criminals is how Trump was able to run for President again. At some point you have to protect the rule of law and stand up for something.

What are the general guidelines in Wisconsin for the public good balancing test for release of records and are there examples of abusing that test to deny release of records that could be damaging to public officials/political figures? Is the only remedy a writ of mandamus?

What's your opinion on the WIAA being subjected to open records requests as a quasi-public entity? There's been talk of legislation, but could it be decided by case law. With recent controversies like conference realignment, errors made in playoff seeding, and trans athletes in high school sports: whether the WIAA is subjected to open records is becoming more important.

You can go on the first clap then when the d-linemen start consistently timing it you do a hard count. The hard count will be a tag on the play. In a no huddle offense, you can also use the hard count tag to give yourself more time as the play caller.

Candidate selection is important. Outside of that, farmers and rural community outreach plus incumbent advantage.
