Sheriff Clarke Responds to Abele John Doe Dump

Right Wisconsin:

Clarke reacted to Abele's latest gambit:

I am not surprised at all of the timing of the 16,000 email dump by Chris Abele.  Once again he pulls his tactic of engaging in political mischief and then does a "who me?" routine by having a county corporation lawyer provide him cover by taking responsibility for it. 

 Abele won't "man up" for anything and a lap dog media refuses to charge him up about it.

County lawyer Paul Bargren who signed the Walker recall petition knows better than to do anything without pre-approval by Abele.  He is "acting" Corporation Counsel and his confirmation to have the "acting" removed from his title in part depends on Abele's approval meaning his job hangs in the balance. 

This wreaks of brazenly engaging in pure politics on county taxpayer time while using county resources knowing that there will be no consequences from Abele or John Chisholm.   

If Abele had an ethical bone in his body he would have told this government lawyer to avoid the appearance of political chicanery by waiting until the election was over to do this dump.  

That a new Mary Burke ad runs on the same day and it is revealed that Abele has given tens of thousands of daddy's dollars to her campaign demonstrates once again that Abele's ethical elevator has no bottom floor.

Mary Burke Continues with False and Misleading Ads

It is Ads like this that make you wonder why people would even think of voting for a person, who has no moral compass and a serious lack of ethics, into office.  What is wrong with these people?



Right Wisconsin:

Is there a constitutional right to lie? Can the state penalize
campaign ads that are clearly misleading? Mary Burke had better hope
that the answers are "yes" and "no."

 

Sec. 12.05 of the Wisconsin statutes prohibits making false
representation about a candidate for office which is intended to affect
or tends to affect an election when the speaker either knows that the
statement is false or acts with reckless disregard for its truth or
falsity. A recent Burke ad juxtaposes a reckless and inflammatory
headline in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stating that prosecutors in
the second John Doe investigation had alleged that Governor Walker was
at the center of a "criminal scheme" (prosecutors later said they had
alleged no such thing) and the convictions of certain individuals for
offenses uncovered during the first Doe investigation – an inquiry into
different conduct than that at issue in the second Doe (to which the
Journal Sentinel headline relates).

Voting Machine in Illinois Changes Republican Votes to Democrats?

In Illinois it appears that the Democrats need all the help they can get. 

FOX News

Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.

“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”

They claim that it was a calibration error with the machine?  Really?  Aren't these things tested before they are put into service?

How do you really know what votes were cast on that machine prior to this being found?

Talk about Voter's being disenfranchised.

Autopsy Report Contradicts Witnesses in Ferguson

The reports that we are finding out now from the Autopsy reports don't support the Witnesses claims that Michael Brown was running away or had his hands up.  So how will all this play out?

FOX News Story:

Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man whose fatal shooting by a white police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August touched off weeks of racially-charged rioting, had marijuana in his system, was initially shot at close range and does not appear to have been killed while running away, according to experts who reviewed the official autopsy and toxicology report.

The documents, obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and analyzed by two experts not directly involved in the case, appears to contradict witness accounts that claimed Brown was running away from Police Officer Darren Wilson, 28, when he was killed on Aug. 9. The new information comes on the heels of reports that Wilson told authorities Brown had reached inside Wilson’s police SUV and struggled for his gun, resulting in Wilson firing twice, hitting Brown once in the hand. Moments later and outside of the vehicle, Wilson fired the fatal bullets that sparked a national controversy.

The newspaper had St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham, who is not part of the official investigation, review the autopsy report, and he determined that it “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car” including a shot that hit Brown’s right hand. Dr. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco who also reviewed the documents, concurred that the autopsy “supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun" and that it did not support claims Brown was shot while running away from Wilson, or with his hands up.

It's Working - Explanation of Wisconsin's Reforms

Chris Abele Tries Again to Help the Democrats

Chris Abele was widely reported to have been the figure behind the attack on Sheriff David Clarke in the final weeks of the Primary.  That assault failed to remove the Sheriff from office.

Now Abele is at it again.  This time he is using his position as Milwaukee County Executive to help the Burke Campaign. 

Right Wisconsin:

The Associated Press reports:

Milwaukee County officials are planning to release thousands of emails prosecutors collected during the first secret investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's former aides and associates when he was county executive.

 

A spokesman for Chris Abele, the county's current executive, says Abele's office will make nearly 16,000 emails and attachments that prosecutors seized from county and personal computers available Tuesday.

 

Abele's office has already made tens of thousands of documents related to the probe public and expects to release even more material beyond Tuesday's release.

 

Chris Abele and his wife are both $10,000 donors to Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke. In addition, Abele's campaign donated $43,000 to Burke bring his total donations to $63,000.

 

Chris Abele is also a known bankroller of the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a left-wing group that is running millions of dollars in negative ads against Gov. Scott Walker.

Amazingly at the same time that all of this information is being released, Burke comes out with a new AD against Walker touting the John Doe investigation.  Hmmmm.  Isn't that Colluding?  Isn't that what Milwaukee DA John Chisholm was accusing the Walker Administration of? 

Mary Burke Making up Stuff to Win

Mary Burke and her Campaign continue to push the "Dead Last" comments on jobs in Wisconsin.  Maybe she should catch up to the times.

Right Wisconsin:

Why would Mary Burke want to ignore the job numbers in 2014? Because Wisconsin is showing acceleration.

 

PolitiFact notes that according to the most recent year-over-year QCEW numbers for March 2013 to March 2014, Wisconsin ranks better than two Midwestern states.

 

But in the most recent year-over-year figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics counting job growth from August 2013 to August 2014, Wisconsin is second in the Midwest in job growth.

 

Indiana - 58,100

Wisconsin - 45,500

Minnesota - 44,600

Illinois - 40,600

Michigan - 30,500

North Dakota - 19,700

Ohio - 18,200

Iowa - 18,000

Nebraska - 6,200

South Dakota - 3,100

 

And in the most recent preliminary estimates from the Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Wisconsin added another 8,400 jobs September 2014 and the unemployment rate fell to 5.5% - the lowest rate since October 2008.

 

According to figures from the Department of Workforce Development, Wisconsin has created approximately 124,000 total jobs since December 2010.

 

Despite a False claim from PolitiFact and new jobs numbers that show accelerated job growth, Mary Burke continues to use the "Dead Last" claim in her ads and even used it in her closing statement at last Friday's debate.

Wisconsin Not as Bad as Burke Wants you to think

Over the last week or two Wisconsin has gotten a lot of really good news.  However you would never know it if you listen to the Burke Campaign and her allies.

Star Tribune:

MADISON, Wis. — The last jobs report before the Nov. 4 election contains a double-dose of good news for Gov. Scott Walker.

The state Department of Workforce Development reported Thursday that Wisconsin's unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent in September and 8,400 private-sector jobs were added.

The unemployment rate is the lowest since the recession in October 2008. It remains below the national rate of 5.9 percent.

WDIO.com

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Wisconsin state budget ended the last fiscal year with a $517 million surplus.

The Burke Campaign and her allies keep pointing at the projected Budget Shortfalls.  However they don't tell you that those projections are only if the Governor and Legislators don't adjust budgets and/or revenues don't increase.

Walker has shown a track record of making the necessary changes to keep the budget in line and out of deficits.

Love him or hate him, he has stopped the bleeding of money here.
