For people who have any common sense and have been bombarded with story after story of what the Trump Campaign may or may not have done, and have wondered how any of this was any different than that of the Clinton people or the Obama Administration, we may finally start to find out.
Finally there has been a call for a special prosecutor to start the investigation of digging into all of the ties with Clinton's emails, the Clinton foundation, Obama's AG Lynch and FBI Director James Comey.
Lets find out what was really going on. How did this all really happen and who was all involved. Why were decisions made and by who?
It seemed that all the focus was one sided against the President. Finally lets get rid of the double standard and let Justice be equal.
Yes I hear people saying we have been through all of this. I feel the same way about the Trump stuff. We keep going through it.
You can't just investigate Trump because he won and forget about all the Clinton stuff because she lost. Clinton actually had just as many if not more ties to the Russians.
This should be interesting if the Justice Department acts on the request.

Chief Flynn Wants to Rule Milwuakee
The Chief of Police for Milwaukee must not believe that he answers to the Citizens of Milwaukee.
On July 13th the Fire and Police Commission, in a rare directive, ordered the Chief to make changes to his "no pursuit policy" or face disciplinary action up to and including termination.
This wasn't the first time the Police Chief was questioned about that policy. The Council has asked for changes in recent months as well. The issue has also been a hot topic for debate on Radio Talk shows and Newspaper Editorials.
The Chief at first said he had no intention to change the policy. He then went out and hired a high powered Attorney to fight it. Instead of doing what the Citizens he serves wants, the Chief wants to be the Ruler of Milwaukee.
The Council backed the Fire and Police Commission, even supporting the funding to hire an outside counsel to support them if that is what is needed to force the Police Chief to follow the Directive.
The Mayor at first appeared to be backing the Police Chief. But he is now looking at the prospect of a recall and has been much more silent in the recent days.
The Police Chief now has asked for an extension. He says that people need to examine what may be contributing to the increase in car accidents and stolen cars. He also wants more time to find out if the directive is constitutional. Seriously? Who cares if it is Constitutional. Throw out the Directive altogether. You have been asked to change the policy by the people who represent the Citizens of your city. Maybe you should climb down off your self proclaimed throne and do what is right for Milwaukee.
If you don't want to change the Policy you don't have too. Maybe you shouldn't be the Police Chief. The Citizens do have a say in that.

Hillary Clinton Still Doesn't Get it
Hillary Clinton has a lot of people to blame and a vast majority of that should be right at herself.
Even the Democrats have pointed out that she had no message and didn't do the hard work of going to every state and working for the Presidency.
I think Hillary Clinton believed all the polls, she thought she had nothing to worry about, she had this thing in the bag. She was the one hand picked by the Democrat Establishment. The DNC had beaten down her Challenger in Bernie Sanders and now all the polls showed her easily winning. I remember watching this election and just had a feeling that the polls were missing something. If the polls were to be believed I was trying to understand why Trump and his team were working so hard in the final hours in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Then I got a glimpse in what might have been what they were seeing. I was watching the Wisconsin polls, obviously. I noticed something very interesting in those polls. The polls show Clinton with an 8-10 pt. lead in the Presidential race, but the Senate race pitting former Senator Russ Feingold and Senator Ron Johnson in a dead heat with Feingold ahead by 1-2 within the margin.
Something wasn't making any sense. People who vote for Hillary Clinton are not going to vote for Ron Johnson and vice versa. Something is not adding up in the polling. It was similar in other states. Trumps Team and the RNC must be onto something. They were working hard in these states.
I remember talking to someone who was in total disbelief that Hillary Clinton was going to get elected. They saw the polls and felt like it was over. I told them this is going to be an interesting night. Something isn't right in the polls.
Then we all watched in unfold. State after Blue state fell in the Trump column. Everyone was in disbelief except for the Trump Team. They saw it coming. The did the hard work. The put in the effort and earned the Presidency.
Did the questions about Hillary's emails hurt her? Sure they did.
Did the emails about her collusion with the DNC to take out Bernie Sanders hurt her? Sure they did.
Did James Comey's comments about the email case hurt her? Absolutely.
All of those things piled up and made the people question her. But is that James Comey's fault? The Russians Fault? or Hillary Clinton's Fault? If you get caught doing shady stuff, do you blame the people who catch you or yourself for dong them.
For Hillary Clinton, you blame everyone but yourself. You aren't responsible for creating your own server and putting it in your house and using it for Government business. You aren't responsible for the Classified Content that was passed through that server. You aren't responsible for having it all destroyed and hidden. You aren't responsible for working with Debbie Wasserman-Schulz to push out Bernie Sanders. You aren't responsible for any of it.
I honestly feel like if Bernie Sanders would have gotten the nomination, you very well could have seen him as the current President.
Hillary Clinton needs to look no further than in the Mirror to figure out why she lost. Instead she is writing a book to explain how it was the Russians and James Comey who are to blame.

Why is Milwaukee County Exec at the Foxconn Announcement
Can anyone explain why the Milwaukee County Exec is in Washington DC for the Foxconn announcement?
The plant is going to be down in the Racine and Kenosha area and not in Milwaukee. I can't imagine with the massive issues in Milwaukee that he has anything to offer.
I am sure that he will work hard to try and take credit for this. I wonder if the Mayor of Milwaukee is around also. He is famous for trying to take credit for stuff.

Wisconsin Budget Still at a Standstill Due to DOT Funding
The Wisconsin Budget can't seem to get passed. The hiccup seems to be the $1 Billion shortfall in DOT funding. The DOT needs to fund their projects and the people of Wisconsin are tired of dealing with the bumpy roads and deteriorating bridges.
Lucky for us the MacIver Institute dug into the spending of the DOT and has some eye opening projects that the DOT is funding. Maybe if we were to stop this ridiculous spending there wouldn't be a shortfall and we could actually address the real problems in the Wisconsin Transportation infrastructure.
The MacIver Institute found a list of projects that have done very little to fix the roads or bridges and help us out. The following is a list from an article at MacIver's website (Click Here)
$2 Million spent on Bublr Stations in West Allis? Seems like a bike project would really benefit us dealing with the horrible roads. Nice Spend.
$680 Thousand on Bike Racks for Milwaukee. Nothing like giving the folks in good old Milwaukee some bike racks.
Another $1 Million for the Root River Parkway so Bicyclist could get out of the way of traffic. Little sarcasm there, not a lot of traffic on Root River Parkway. But hey Bicyclist must love the DOT.
Guess what? Another $3 Million for the West Allis Cross-Town Connector. That's right with Bike Roundabouts, bike bridges and bike paths. DOT Loving their bikes.
Are the people of Wisconsin really dumb? The DOT must think so. They spent $30 Thousand on training videos so that we could learn how to use Roundabouts. Wonder if we figured it out?
West Allis must love the DOT. They got another $3.6 million to add a pedestrian bridge even though only a block and half away there already is a one.
In the did you know category. The DOT offered the Zoo $8 million because it had to take away 700 parking spaces with the new Zoo Interchange project. Even though it would only cost $2 million to build a new parking lot, the Zoo sued the DOT and ended up getting $12.7 Million. But hey, the Zoo got an Otter exhibit out of it. WTF
I could keep going on and on and on. Go to the article and just be amazed at how much money the Wisconsin DOT spends on Bike Paths and plain silly spending. After you read it you may understand why some people are up in arms that the DOT has a shortfall at all. Some serious overhaul of the leadership there would be in order. This is what is wrong with Government. If you ran your life or a business this way you would be bankrupt in no time. The Government just asks us for higher taxes and fees so they can keep going. Crazy.

MSNBC has no Credibility
I just sat and watched MSNBC Live with Ali Velshi. I am pretty sure that I am much dumber after watching that show that was full of so much partisan and misleading information. This guy appeared to be there strictly to push an agenda and not there to report facts or news.
He sat and argued with his guests calling them liars and he knew more than they did.
What a joke. They live off of creating controversy. It's no wonder they still trail in ratings and are getting beat repeatedly. What has happened to real new?

This is What's Wrong with Politics
All a vast majority of Americans want, is for our lawmakers to work together on behalf of us to improve our Country. That is it. Is it really that difficult?
Well yes it is. Especially if you are a Democrat or Republican. You have to do what the party bosses tell you and you can't think for yourself or work with the other guys.
In Madison a Democratic Lawmaker was working with a Republican on a bill for free speech. They were working together to make the bill a bipartisan bill. Kewaskum Republican Jesse Kremer was asking for help with the bill from Milwaukee Democrat Evan Goyke. The Milwaukee Democrat suggested they work with Democrat Rep Reimer. They were working on a Bipartisan effort. Below is the report from MaciverInstitute.
Quickly things escalated and the Democratic Leadership was going to make Rep. Evan Goyke pay for working with the Democrats.
Unfortunately for these life long Politicians, it is all about the next election and getting elected, re-elected and the power. What is ultimately right for us really isn't important.

They were working on a Bipartisan effort. Below is the report from MaciverInstitute.
These Representatives were doing exactly what the Wisconsin and American Citizens want. Working together. However it didn't go over to well with the Demcorat Leaders. When the amendment to the bill was presented Democratic Leader Peter Barca went ballistic. The Democratic leader refused to hear the amendment and said it wouldn't be considered.
MaciverInstitute:
Rep. Jesse Kremer (R-Kewaskum) spoke with MacIver News to explain what happened. Kremer says he first asked Rep. Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee) to work with him on the Campus Free Speech Act. Goyke suggested that free speech may be more up Riemer's alley since he graduated from the University of Chicago - the matriarch of free speech principles.Some of Kremer's caucus members were hesitant at first, questioning Riemer's motives and wondering "what's he trying to pull?" Kremer insisted that his goal was to try to get the bill "to the point where both sides of the aisle could...agree on some things...and at the same time we're not compromising our bill, but that we think our entire caucus would vote for."The morning of June 21st, the day of the bill's assembly vote, Riemer pulled Kremer out of caucus to bounce ideas around on how to improve the bill. Kremer commented that "some of his ideas weren't that bad, they actually made the bill better, stronger even." As they worked in the back of the parlor, Rep. Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) and Rep. Chris Taylor (D-Madison) were "hovering around, watching us, kind of like vultures...but [Riemer] kept working."
Quickly things escalated and the Democratic Leadership was going to make Rep. Evan Goyke pay for working with the Democrats.
MaciverInstitute:Politicians often pay the price from their own Political Party if they try to work with the other side.
When Barca called for informal session to review the new amendment, Kremer "heard Chris Taylor was just screaming at Rep. Riemer. [Democrats] were cursing him out on the floor when we had taken that break. They were all over hovering around his desk. After this all happened I looked over at him and he was sitting there with his head down for the next hour and I thought he had just given up and he was just beat back, but no. He came over to my side of the room...and he brings the amendment over to me, says I've been reviewing this...and it looks good to go."Public humiliation on the floor wasn't the only retaliation from his fellow Democrats. The Assembly Chief Clerk's office confirmed that Riemer was removed from the Ways and Means committee on June 28th and replaced by Rep. Melissa Sargent (D-Madison). Legislators with sophomore standing or above, like Riemer, are allowed one and a half staffers, but after the free speech blowback Riemer lost his half staffer. His staff is now equivalent to that of a freshman legislator's. According to Kremer, Riemer expressed concerns earlier that day that this might be the end of his political career.
Unfortunately for these life long Politicians, it is all about the next election and getting elected, re-elected and the power. What is ultimately right for us really isn't important.
