Obama Adminstration Threatens Israeli Leader over meeting Congress

So Obama is indeed under the impression that he is the Supreme Leader of the United States.

His Administration has decided that they are going to punish the Israeli Leader for coming and address Congress.  They aren't even being quiet about it.

They are whining and throwing a preschooler temper tantrum about it his visit not being done by protocol. You can't be serious?  This President and Administration has broken so many rules and protocols that they can't seriously think we buy that line.

Obama doesn't want to work with Congress, but he sure doesn't want them to go at it without him.

Welcome to reality Mr. Obama!!!

DOJ Not Charging Officer Wilson in Ferguson Case

It would appear that all the uproar in Ferguson was poorly misguided by the so called Black Leadership in America. 

President Obama, AG Holder and the likes of Al Sharpton all seem to have gotten it seriously wrong in Ferguson, Missouri.

Remember when the Black Teen was shot by the Ferguson Police Officer?  Hands up don't Shoot?

Remember the Obama Administration getting involved very early?

Well not only did a Grand Jury not find any evidence to press charges against the Police Officer, it now appears that the DOJ investigation by AG Holder is also not finding the evidence to press charges.

All of that destruction and lawlessness in Ferguson that was so understandable by the so called Black Leadership is now quietly being washed away.  How very sad the state of America.  How very sad that all the personal attacks on the Police Officer are quietly being wiped away.  How very sad that our very own President and AG didn't show the leadership that could have avoided such an event can be wiped away with barely a whisper from the Media that covered the event wall to wall at the time.  How very sad that the Police Officer and his family was victimized by the Media and the Black Leadership including our President and AG, and when he his cleared, not more that a small whisper from the same people.

This is where we stand in the New America.  This is just how far we have come.

State Rep. Josh Zepnick (D-Milwaukee) Attacks Sobleman - Wants Milwaukee to Reconsider Permit

This is how Democrat State Rep. Josh Zepnick (D-Milwaukee) will treat you if you disagree with him on an issue.  He not only trashes a local business Owner, but he trashes the employees and appears to claim the area is dangerous to be in at night.  Nice.

He also seems to think that it is OK to retaliate by pushing to have his seating permit revoked!!

Hope City reconsiders his sidewalk seating permit for this summer!!! Bwa ha ha…"


Several Milwaukee Business Support Street Care, Really?

The Mayor and Council are touting the open letter from several businesses in Milwaukee that have come out in support of the Street Car.

Many of the names attached to the letter are big name companies here. 

I would imagine that would be in support of anything that may help them.  Why wouldn't they be in support of the taxpayers spending millions to help their businesses. 

I have a novel idea.  Why don't those businesses partner up with the taxpayers.  Why don't they put in money to help pay for this? 

I know they are going to say that this will spur development in which they are investing in that will help.  I call BS.  They want us to spend millions that will spur their investing in their business and yes it will give us more tax dollars.  Those tax dollars will be spent by our great leaders.  You aren't helping me.  You are taking my money to help yourself and your business. 

If this Street Car is such a great idea then put your money in the pot to help pay for it. 

We have a lot of immediate issues here in Milwaukee that $100+ Million would really help.  Even if this Street Car is a good idea, we would not see a benefit from it for several years.  How long can we go with falling apart streets, failing schools, etc.?  By the time we see the so called benefits and the so called economic growth, how much further will be?

Wisconsin GOP Takes on Liberal Activist

The lefts is crying foul as the Wisconsin GOP Controlled Legislature is taking on the Liberal Activist in the Government Accountability Board as well as the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

After the GAB spent the last several years wrapped up in the John Doe Investigation with Milwaukee DA John Chisholm and acted without authority, the Legislature is set to make some changes to ensure that their ability to use the system to benefit one party over the other is stopped.  Of course the GAB and the Left is crying.  It has been used to their benefit for the last several years and they don't want to lose that advantage.  Not that it has really helped them much.

The Legislature is also set to put into motion changes to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  The Court has been in disarray for quite some time and most people with a brain can figure out that it is the Chief Justice responsible for it.  The current system allows for the longest sitting Supreme Court Justice to be the Chief Justice.  The Legislature would like to have the court vote to decide who the Chief Justice should be.  Before the the Legislature could get this change done, they would have to approve it again and then it would be sent to the voters for approval.

Anytime you allow the Voters to approve something is a very good thing.

Majority in Journal Sentinel Poll Rate Obama Speech as Poor

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, well known as a liberal paper, poll shows that 51% of respondents rated the President's SOTU as Poor.  That compared to only 32% rating it as excellent.

As Democrats try to convince us that things are turning around and the President is gaining support, it doesn't really help when a paper such as the Journal Sentinel has a poll where it's readers rate the speech as poor.

The Journal Sentinel is a staunch supporter of the Democrats and the Left.  They regularly attack the GOP and the Right and was seen as a leading force in backing efforts to take down Gov. Walker during the Recall and the last election.

Very rarely do you see any attacks on the Left or even reporting that would shed a Democrat in a bad light. 

Yet with all of that said, there very own readers rate the President's Speech as poor?  That is not good for the Democrats.

When Will Politicians Get It?

President Obama held his State of the Union Address last night and again we find the same old thing coming out of Washington, Spend, Spend, Spend.

When will Politicians get it?

Spending is great if you have the money.  In case they forgot to take a look at our dismal budget, we are $18 Trillion in debt!!!!

Spending has to stop and we have to start living within the budget and paying off that debt.  We can't just keep adding more and more spending and thinking that the best answer is to tax more to cover the additional spending.

I think that if these people would get serious and say:

OK, we are not adding no more spending to our budget, in fact we are going to go through item by item and cut spending as much as possible.  We are going to be will within our budget and we are going to raise taxes to start paying as much as we can against this mounting debt. 

You would be amazed at the support that you would get from the American People. 

Sure, you are going to have the crowd that will complain about their handouts and entitlements, but you know what?  We can't sustain the levels of spending and handouts that we have!

Look Back at Green Bay vs Seattle

Now that we have had a few days to let the debacle of the Green Bay vs Seattle game settle in, lets look back at the game.

As I sat in the airport watching the game I distinctly remember wondering what the hell McCarthy was thinking when we kicked the first field goal?  I was thinking that it was pretty early in the game to not be trying to set the tone.  Even if we don't make it you pin them against their own goal line.  However he settled for the 3 points.

Almost immediately we again are right on their goal line.  Now we have to punch it in and make this a two score game and punish them for their mistake.  Nope again we settle for the 3 points.  Twice we are right there and we aren't even a touchdown ahead of them.

I thought immediately that the Packers were in real trouble. 

They weren't playing the game the Packer way.  They weren't going for it.  They were playing not to lose.  They were already being way to conservative.  You could see it in the players behavior each time the offense was pulled off the field for the field goal team.  Coaches and Players were not on the same page.

Sure you can look at several instances of mistakes by the Packers, but it really boiled down to the first two drives.  Those drives set the mind set for this game.  They were the ones that kept the Seahawks in the game.

StreetCar Referendum Petition Picking Up Support

Organizers for the Petition to hold a referendum on the Street Car say that they have had an overwhelming response.  If they get enough signatures, it will send the final say to the taxpayers of Milwaukee and not just the Mayor and the Council.

I have seen the supporters of the Street Car bashing the petition.  I have read where they are telling people that they are not informed and should not sign the petition.  They then argue there point for the Street Car.

First of all, what is wrong with it going to a referendum?  Why shouldn't the Tax Payers have the final say?

The referendum is a win for the Tax Payers.  It will force it be voted on by the very people that will be paying for it.  It will also force the Mayor and Council to inform the public of the whole project. 

If it is truly such a good idea then it will be approved by the referendum, if not then it will be voted down.

Government is supposed to be by the people and for the people, it is not suppose to be the Mayor or President telling us what we want and need and doing it even if we don't want it.

The Referendum is a good thing. 

Michael Moore is a Complete Moron

It would appear that the new movie "American Sniper" has Hollywood Lefty's in a major uproar.

The Movie is setting Box Office records at every turn.  Reviews from the public are applauding the movie as one of the best ever made.  Everyone that I know that has gone to the movie have said that it will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you speechless at the the end.

Yet, now you have the lefty crowd in Hollywood trying to come out and bash the movie.  They are calling Snipers Cowards? 

Michael Moore who never misses an opportunity to get his name in the press is a complete moron. 

Not only is he bashing the American Military, he is also bashing the American Public. 

Let's see how this works out for the Hollywood Leftists.

Applauding Clint Eastwood for making such an amazing movie.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin Knew of VA Abuses, Did Nothing!

More information is coming out about the VA Abuses in Tomah, WI and that information shows that Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin not only had a report about the abuses, she was contacted on multiple occasions by a whistle-blower asking for help.  She did nothing.  Nothing! Not until Sen. Ron Johnson and Congressman Ron Kind asked for an investigation, then Sen. Baldwin stepped up and said she wanted an investigation also.

Grennbay Press Gazette:


WASHINGTON — Sen. Tammy Baldwin's office received an inspection report last summer detailing high amounts of opiates prescribed at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah, but there is no indication her office took action on the findings until last week, when she called for an investigation after a news report revealed a veteran died from an overdose at the facility.

The report by the VA inspector general, a copy of which was obtained by USA TODAY, noted that two practitioners at the center were among the highest prescribers of opiates in a multistate region — at "considerable variance" compared with most opioid prescribers. That, the report said, raised "potentially serious concerns."
 
A whistleblower who learned in November that Baldwin had had a copy for months and hadn't acted, repeatedly emailed her office asking that she do something to help the veterans at the center, according to copies of the emails obtained by USA TODAY.

PDF: Read the report

In them the whistleblower — former Tomah VA employee Ryan Honl — asked that Baldwin call for an investigation, that she push colleagues on the Veterans Affairs committee to take action, and that she help bring the issues in the report to public attention. The report had not been made public, but Baldwin's office received a copy in August.

When she still had not taken public action in December, Honl sent a message to her staffer with the subject line: "Final plea for Help from Senator Baldwin."
