EXCLUSIVE: Rebecca Kleefisch Meets With Donald Trump in Florida

Rebecca Kleefisch met with former President Donald Trump this week at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Wisconsin Right Now can exclusively report. Kleefisch, the former lieutenant governor, is running in the Republican primary for governor. Trump has still not endorsed anyone in the Republican primary for governor. A Trump endorsement would be a game-changer in the primary race, of course. On Friday, March 11, 2022, Wisconsin Right Now heard about the Kleefisch-Trump meeting from two well-placed sources. Our sources are not close to the Kleefisch campaign. The Kleefisch campaign could not be reached for comment. Word had already spread that Kleefisch was in Florida for a fundraiser before the sources told us that she met personally with Trump. Kleefisch's social media has been silent on the matter. Earlier in the year, Trump dropped a grenade into the middle of the Wisconsin governor's race, when he openly urged former Congressman Sean Duffy to run for governor against Democrat Tony Evers. That was perceived in some corners as a sign that he wasn't sold on Kleefisch. However, Duffy then announced that he would not be running.

Trump-Kleefisch History

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgPr30yEcOM When he was president, Trump appointed Kleefisch to the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission. In 2020, she participated in a Women for Trump bus tour. However, in 2016, Kleefisch stepped down from being a delegate at the Republican National Convention to appear in Beloit at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. Some insiders had said that raised concerns with Trump. The other candidates for governor are former U.S. Marine Kevin Nicholson and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun. Both have been running Trump-style anti-establishment campaigns, and a Trump endorsement of Kleefisch, were it to come, would be a huge blow for either one of them. Nicholson is backed by Illinois billionaire Dick Uihlein, who is one of the nation's most powerful conservative donors, and Ramthun is running a campaign focused on pushing decertification of the 2020 presidential election. We are awaiting comment from the other campaigns. Trump, if he runs in 2024, which many believe he will, has a stake in the outcome of the governor's race because a strong pro-Trump Republican in the Wisconsin governor's mansion could help him win the battleground state. Trump and former Gov. Scott Walker were presidential primary rivals. Businessman Eric Hovde, Former Gov. Tommy Thompson, and Tim Michels are still considering getting in the race for governor, sources say.

Wauwatosa Tells City Workers to Avoid Red & Green Christmas Decorations

Image
The City of Wauwatosa has instructed city workers that they should avoid using red and green in public spaces to celebrate Christmas. Instead, top city officials are urging them to decorate counters with purple and blue instead. The email went out this week from Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss. It also notes that City Administrator James Archambo is on board with the instructions. In it, she urged city workers to embrace “inclusive decorating practices” and make Wauwatosa’s municipal buildings a “place that everyone can feel comfortable visiting throughout the holiday season.” City workers were urged to “opt for more neutral and inclusive decorations.” We received the email from multiple sources who questioned why Wauwatosa was making this a priority when the city has far more pressing issues. Even the White House doesn't go that far ; after all there is a National Christmas Tree. [caption id="attachment_155412" align="alignleft" wid...

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...

[caption id="attachment_161199" align="alignleft" width="225"] Thomas Routt Jr[/caption] Thomas Routt Jr. 57, was named by his story to WTMJ-TV, but the attorney says he denies wrongdoing. So far, police have not confirmed the name, although they revealed on Monday that a person of interest is in custody. The Weingarts were both found shot to death inside the Sports Page Barr in Elkhorn in a crime that has shocked the community. Now it turns out the person police have in custody is on the streets because Evers' appointee decided to free him.   Thomas Routt Jr. Paroled in 2020 Corrections' records confirm that Routt was released in August 2020 on parole. A press release from Gov. Evers said that John Tate, his controversial appointee to run ...
