I laughed my butt off at the Brewers Lucroy ad for the All-Star voting.
See Ad Click Here
This year there is little doubt. Lucroy is the better catcher. He has a much better batting average, more home runs, more runs batted in. The problem is that Lucroy plays in a smaller market.
The Cardinals also have the bonus of playing in the 2 of the last 3 world series.
And to top it off, the Cardinal Manager will be the Manager of the All-Star team.
So hopefully the fans of baseball get out the vote and put the best catcher in the NL into the starting lineup of the All-Star game. Don't put in Molina just because he has been there before. It should be earned every year and this year the choice is pretty clear.

Wisconsin Governor Criminal Mastermind?
If you read all the headlines out there in the print media and listen to several news reports that is what you would think. Governor Walker is a Criminal Mastermind and should be well on his way to living in a prison cell.
Now as Paul Harvey used to say "Now for the rest of the story"
What the headlines failed to say was that in briefs prosecutors allege that Walker and his campaign were involved and center to a criminal scheme involving election laws. However that allegation was not only disproved, but had no basis. According to not only the State Judge who was involved in the investigation, but a Federal Judge also said that the allegations had no basis. Not only did both Judges rule that they allegations had no basis, they both said that the Prosecutors were wrong in their interpretation of the law and both Judges ordered a stop to the whole investigation.
The Prosecutors in this case as well as a previous John Doe investigation have overstepped dramatically and should face more legal action into their actions. They held raids on houses and threatened people because of their political affiliation. This Prosecutors have used their positions as political and biased henchmen for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
Their bias has been so blatant that the Judges ordered them to immediately stop the investigation and to return all the so called evidence that they confiscated from people during their raids and intimidation.
Of course the Prosecutors are trying to revive their fight with the Court of Appeals, but there is little hope for them that it will be overturned.
So now the Prosecutors have decided to take the next step and drag all of the innocent people through the mud in the court of public opinion. The Federal Judge has even called them out on it. Pointing out the crystal clear fact that the Prosecutors failed in the court of law and are now going to turn to the court of public opinion.
The Milwaukee County D.A. John Chisolm who has been at the forefront of the crime problem in Milwaukee with his lenient prosecutions of criminals based on their race, failure to make any kind of dent in the crime problem at all and his blatantly biased attempts at prosecutions of persons from the Conservative side of the aisle.
It is time that he is held accountable by what ever legal means possible for his own illegal activity.

Why Should Redskins Change Name Now?
The Washington Redskins have been getting heat for the last few years about getting rid of the name Redskins. Why should they change it now?
The Football team has been using the name of Redskins since 1932. Now people like Sen. Reid is claiming that it is offensive? It might be to some people and I understand that, but you can't just tell someone to change their corporations name that they have been using for over 80 years because now someone is offended by it.
Next thing you know we will be getting rid of teams like the Brewers because that talks about alchol and that is offensive to people who don't drink. What about the New York Yankees? Talk about offensive. Green Bay Packers? New Orleans Saints? Kansas City Chiefs? Cleveland Indians? L.A. Angels? Golden State Warriors?
There are many many others that in one way or another could be considered offensive. Every one of those teams mentioned I can guarantee have no intention of being offensive. Many of those names came to me many years ago and no one had an issue with it then. So now because we are becoming so much more thin skinned and overly sensitive to things that just don't matter.
With all the problems in the world and things that really do matter, why in the hell are we spending so much time and effort worrying about names. Suck it up and quit being so sensitive to things that really just don't matter. If the name of a corporation or sports team offends you then don't support them. Root for their competitor. Grow up and move on.

Hillary Clinton Remaking Her Image
I have been reading report after report that Hillary Clinton is working to remake her public image. Remaking it to me more approachable, more fun, more human.
Why is it that politicians have to remake their image to get elected? Isn't that like trying to bull shit people into believing that someone is something that they are not?
Why can't people just be who they are? If you have to change who you are in order to get elected to a public office isn't that wrong? Isn't that telling us something is wrong?
Not to pick on Hillary Clinton, many politicians do the same thing. I am just reading and watching as Hillary is really working hard right now to get things set up to make the run to the White House. Shouldn't she be able to just say I am in and go for it? She has been in the public eye for so many years that I am sure we all know who she is by now. Why would she need to remake her image?

U.S. Arming Terrorist in Middle East
As President Obama sits back and decides what to do in Iraq, while we debate if the US should put boots in Iraq, while we have a debate about the Iraqi government, the Terrorist are taking American Made Weaponry away from the Iraqi's and will use it to wage their own war.
I am not much interested in getting into the debate of whether or not we should have ever went into Iraq or not. Many of the people who claim we shouldn't have agreed back then we had to. Don't want to debate if Obama left too soon and left Iraq vulnerable. I don't have all the information they had or could really careless at this point. As Hillary Clinton would say "what difference does it make now"
The problem is that as we sit back and do nothing but point fingers and play the blame game, the Terrorist that we will eventually fight at some level are being supplied with our very own equipment. They are getting our military supplies that we gave to Iraq. We can not afford to allow that to happen.

Milwaukee Police/FBI Conduct Large Sweep
Tuesday morning a contingent of 100 FBI Agents and 75 Police Officers conducted a large sweep of Milwaukee's North side.
The operation was seeking to locate and apprehend 21 individuals on warrants. The individuals were all suspected members involved in violent gang activity.
This was the first operation of the FPB-MPD Gang Task Force that was formed in October to combat the growing crime problem.
The key to this will be to monitor the persons that are apprehended and how they are handled by the Milwaukee DA and the Milwaukee Justice system. Both are well known for being lenient on criminals and negotiating light sentences or plea bargains. Arresting these people is only the beginning.

GM Took our Bailout and Put our Safety at Risk
The Government should drop the proverbial hammer on GM. They took Billions of Dollars in taxpayer funded bailouts and the whole time they were building vehicles they new had a safety issue.
At least 13 deaths are reported connected to the safety issue and reports have surfaced that GM was aware of the problems for several years.

Washington Redskins Have Reason to Keep Name
The Washington Redskins have repeatedly said that they are not going to change their name. Now they have another very good reason not to change the name.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he will not attend a game until they do.
That seems like a good reason to keep the name to me!!!!

Mayor of Milwaukee Fights Gun Violence with Hotline
After a rash of 63 shootings in the last 4 weeks in Milwaukee the Mayor rolled out a hotline for people to call and report illegal guns.
Really? That is what he came up with?
So far 30 children have been among the victims of the shootings.
Statistics released showed that a vast majority of these crimes were against African Americans and many of the shooters were also African American. The Rev. Darryl R. Williams, said "When people are jobless, they turn to violence," ,"It has everything to do with a sense of hopelessness among our young people. If they don't have a job, they will engage in activities that are destructive."
Well that goes directly to the leadership in Milwaukee where the unemployment rate is pushing 50% for African American males.

Milwaukee Gun Violence Continues
This weekend the Shootings in Milwaukee continue. I am sure that the Mayor, County Exec, Police Chief and D.A. will all come out with some new program to curb the violence. The other programs must be working so well.
Nine (9) people were shot in Milwaukee over a 24 hour period and two of them where children. A 4 year old boy was shot and an 11 year old girl was shot.
As of this posting there have been no arrests, but the good news is that none of the shooting were fatal.
Where is the Leadership?

IRS Lost Emails for Lois Lerner?
The IRS is telling the committee that is investigating them for their illegal actions against conservative groups that they have lost thousands of emails involving Lois Lerner due to her computer crashing.
First of all lets get a couple of things straight. If your computer crashes you do not lose emails. Secondly in my opinion whoever is feeding the committee this line of crap should be thrown in jail for obstruction and lying to Congress.
Emails are stored on the email server and most if not all companies of any size have redundancy to protect them in the event of a failure. Say the server crashes. Then there is always a backup or duplicate server running at the same time. Therefore nothing is lost.
To understand this better lets look at a few scenarios. Anyone who has email from say AT&T, Centurytel, Time Warner, Charter, Verizon, Google, Yahoo, etc. You can log onto your email from your home and see all your emails. You can then go to work and log into your email at work and see all the same emails. If you home computer crashes you can still get to your emails from another computer. The emails are not on that computer. Same thing for people with work email. Now days pretty much everyone has their company email on their work computer and also on their smartphone. If your computer goes down you still have access to your email via your smartphone. That is because the email is not on your computer.
To make a long story short we have another example of the Obama Administrations team trying to hide their illegal activities and sweep them under the rug. It is time that we get serious and start putting people in prison for their actions involving the initial illegal activity and then also really go after the people involved in the cover up.
Richard Nixon went down for a lot less than what we are seeing happen today in this administration.
