So ... the Badger Institute isn’t sure about eliminating income taxes in Wisconsin, but they seem to like the idea of the flat tax — which is an income tax, but with all vestiges of fairness removed.

Putin’s prior claim will win out, but Trump will soon be a worthless commodity anyway.

The Petroleum Age is just about over; how hard we land will be up to us, depending on whether we recognize it and prepare for it, or not. Biden at least had a glimmer about that, but Trump is firmly in the camp denying it.

Of course it’s Van Orden. Here in Wisconsin, most of us recognize that he’s 100% cuckoo-bananas.

1) Create a problem, or make a problem worse. 2) Solve that problem. 3) Take credit. Trump can only manage that first step.

Police rammed a bicycle into Jill Stein at a peaceful student protest, then charged HER with assault. Charges against roughly 100 others were dropped. Hers were not. Sign the petition: jillstein.net/petition/

Where Are the Iran War Protests?
Trump’s war with Iran is deeply unpopular, but a mass movement for peace hasn’t materialized. Still, efforts to resist are alive and well.

Beautiful! I live in south-central Wisconsin, USA — very nice landscape in the less-glaciated area west, south and southwest of Madison. (It’s called the Driftless Region, for some reason.) So I get out there on the bike; good for the mind, soul and body.

Wow — about 75mph, thanks partly to that humongous chainring. Must’ve had really tight handling with that very short wheelbase, maybe accomplished by turning his fork around 180º.

DHS paid Miami-Dade County nearly $15 million for just seven immigrant arrests. Yes, over $2 million per arrest. But when it comes to accountability, DHS can’t even afford basic transparency and instead is sabotaging FOIA offices. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain:

Trump can’t stop tossing out more evidence of his childish, jealous, vindictive basic nature. And ... did he really think he had a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize? Because of those eight wars he ended? You know people are nuts when they believe their own bullshit.

Trump says voter fraud is rampant. The evidence says otherwise.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” conservative activist J. Christian Adams is challenged on his claims of widespread voter fraud in the US. Then he abruptly ends the interview.

No law can do that. The Constitution establishes three branches of government, to achieve a balance of power and prevent abuses by government. But when all three branches are captured by a political party that has no commitment to following the Constitution, that whole project is undermined.
