Background on the 4 Governor Candidates
Joel Brennan
Former Secretary, WI Dept. of Administration (2019–2022); ex-president, Greater Milwaukee Committee
The last candidate to enter (December 2025), Brennan runs on executive and budget experience, touting the nearly $4 billion surplus and $1.7 billion rainy-day fund built during his time as Evers' top cabinet official, plus his renegotiation of the Foxconn contract. He pitches himself as a pragmatic manager who can both stand up to Trump's "chaos" and work across the aisle with Republicans. One of 11 children, he previo...
Impeachment Is the Only Answer
There is no doubt that we are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of our country. Trump said he would be a “dictator on day one” and he meant it. All his actions since taking office have been intended to seize unlimited presidential power.
In 2017, we hoped that Trumpism was a fluke and would self-destruct. We hoped his ignorance, incompetence and harmful policies would turn even conservative Republicans against him. But 2024 proved this notion wrong. We can no longer hope that “this too shall pass.”
“What is happening now is not ...
Wisconsin’s 7th CD Primary Candidates
Last week I wrote about the primary election for Wisconsin's next governor. This week I discuss the candidates running for the 7th Congressional district.
But first a comment on the media and the Wisconsin governors race. The media is repeating the false narrative that with five candidates the Democrats are divided and the Republicans are united behind one candidate. The truth is the Democrats are engaged in a democratic primary election where the voters decide the final candidate. The Republicans had four candidates until the “great leader” chose (endor...

Use of Federal Troops
Presidents have always been careful when forced to send federal troops into America’s cities and states, and only did so when there was a breakdown of law and order or when constitutional rights were being violated by state and local governments.
In 1957, Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas national guard and sent 1,200 federal troops to enforce the Brown v Board of Education decision which proclaimed segregation was illegal and mandated integrated schools.
In 1965, Democrat Lyndon Johnson federalized the Alabama National Guard and sent 2,000 ...
Do Your Research
The November election is just 3 1/2 months away. In ads and speeches, candidates for elected office often talk about their hometown roots to convince citizens they will serve their wants and needs. In two of his ads our current district House of Representative member and candidate for Governor Tom Tiffany plays on this theme.
It is noteworthy then that Mr. Tiffany called on a Texas based group to help him oppose a conservation project, the Pelican River Forest easement, that was designed to protect natural
resources in three northern Wisconsin counties.

The Art of The Bad Deal
“He's all hat and no cattle" is a quip Jim Hightower uses to describe feckless, blowhard politicians. Google AI says this old Texas colloquialism means someone who “talks a big game, acts showy, or makes grand promises, but lacks the actual substance, wealth, or capability to back it up.”
Donald Trump's foreign policy, especially with the Iran war, is all bluster and bluff with no substance or positive results. He is all hat and mouth but no cattle.
The U.S. and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to allegedly end the war. But this is not a ...
