Trump Expected to Imminently Endorse Tim Michels for Governor

A well-placed source tells Wisconsin Right Now that former President Donald Trump is expected to endorse Tim Michels for Wisconsin governor. He's expected to call Michels today, June 2, 2022, with the news. The source cautioned that Trump can be unpredictable and change his mind at the last second. But, as of 3 p.m. on June 2, that was the latest word - that the former president's endorsement is expected to endorse Michels. A Trump endorsement for Michels, who is vice president of a major family-run pipeline and construction company, would clearly shake up the Republican primary for governor. The other candidates on the Republican side are former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, former Marine Kevin Nicholson, and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun. Kleefisch was lieutenant governor for Scott Walker, once a Republican primary rival of Trump's. Conservative talk show host Mark Belling reported earlier on Thursday that Trump is endorsing Michels. It's not clear when the endorsement will come, and one source put the chances it will happen at 99%, with the hedge because of Trump's unpredictability. Talk show host Jay Weber wrote on Twitter on June 2, "We are now apparently on 'Trump Time' on his endorsement of Tim Michels. Still should be coming today, yet, but we've gone into a stall, I'm told."

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.

A press release from Gov. Evers said that John Tate, his controversial appointee to run ...
