Meet and Greet Susan Crawford
Please join us to meet a great candidate for
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice
Susan Crawford is running for Supreme Court Justice. This is the seat being vacated by Wausau's very own Judge Anne Walsh Bradley. Judge Crawford has a strong history of protecting the basic rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites granted to us under the Wisconsin constitution, first as a prosecutor and now as a judge.
This is an extremely important election to safeguard our rights. The spring primary will be held on February 18th with the Spring Election scheduled for April 1st (no joke!)...
WHAT’S LEFT
What kind of message are we sending to our children and the world when we elect, as President of the United States, a convicted con-man and serial liar, with multiple bankruptcies and failed businesses? Someone who praises Communist dictators, cheats on his wives, and pays $130,000 to conceal an affair with a porn star when his #3 wife was pregnant. MAGA family values?
It seems at times Like the world has been turned upside down. The very idea that Republicans could nominate someone for President, or that we would elect someone, who openly praises Communist dictat...
WHAT DEMOCRATS DID WRONG
Party leaders failed to see the long term need for younger, more vigorous candidates. The bulk of Biden’s term suffered from his shuffling gait, whispery voice, and apparent mental decline. Not that Trump is so much younger, but his demeanor as a bully conveys a message of strength. Sadly.
Dems also failed to foresee Biden’s inability to win a second term and consequently failed to hold a 2024 primary that would have introduced all best possible candidates. Call it allegiance to a venerable old warrior (Biden) or inability to break out of an established order of ...
We are Screwed
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” H.L. Menchen, American journalists in and social critic in the 1920s and 30s.
Just prior to the 2016 presidential election an acquaintance asked me what I thought would be the result. I answered that I was cautiously optimistic but, “Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.” ...
Are You Really Listening?
Considering we live in a two-party system; I loved Kamala, and I was happy to vote for her. She is such a smart woman, and I loved the joy and the happiness that was expressed in her campaign and in her speeches. The lines to see her were so long! I loved the joy she brought and the hope. Her infectious smile made you happy just to look at her. Kamala is a highly educated and capable woman, and we would elect her to the White House. The first female ever to hold this position. She painted a picture of how it could be for all of us.
But would it? Was she ...

Will We Survive
Nicholas Kristof is a Conservative columnist for the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/opinion/gaza-harris-trump.html
In his article, “Don’t Let Liberal Purity Elect Trump,” Kristof lists the dangers if Donald Trump is elected.
I will summarize Kristof’s main points.
“So to those so upset about Bidens’ policies in the Middle East that they are thinking about voting for Trump, staying home or voting for a third-party candidate-I understand. But don’t allow this anger to elect Trump, for that would amplify the suffering abroad that ...
Getting Over The Woman Thing
“Cause if it's the woman thing it's time to get over that...It time to be a man and vote for a woman.“ Sam Elliot, actor
“Most women know the story. She’s overqualified for the job. He isn't qualified at all, but it’s still a contest. Can you see any man having been district attorney, state attorney general, U.S. senator, and U.S. Vice President but being told HE isn’t qualified?” My sister, who has considerable experience with sexism in business.
“The Man's Prayer: I am a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess,” from the Red ...
