Trump Drops Sean Duffy Grenade Into Middle of Wisconsin Governor's Race

When Duffy stepped down as a Congressman, he cited family concerns because he and his wife were having a special needs child. President Donald Trump dropped a grenade into the middle of the Wisconsin governor's race, releasing a statement that openly urges former Congressman Sean Duffy to run for governor against Democrat Tony Evers. Duffy and his wife recently purchased a home in New Jersey. In September, he and his wife sold their Wausau home. Thus, it was believed that he was not interested in running for governor. However, Wispolitics.com cited an anonymous source who said Duffy is now considering a run for governor because of Trump's statement. Trump, if he runs in 2024, has a stake in the outcome of the governor's race because a strong pro-Trump Republican in the Wisconsin governor's mansion could help him win the battleground state. trump sean duffy There are two declared candidates in the race on the Republican side: former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and businessman Jonathan Wichmann. Businessman Eric Hovde is also seriously considering getting in the race for governor, sources say. Combat veteran Kevin Nicholson has also said he's considering a run. In a statement posted on Oct. 16, 2021, Trump wrote: "Working hard to get very popular and capable former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin to run for Governor. He would be fantastic! A champion athlete, Sean loves the people of Wisconsin and would be virtually unbeatable. His wife, Rachel, is likewise an incredible person. They are both doing very well, so this would be a big sacrifice, but hopefully it will be a sacrifice that will be made for the Great State of Wisconsin and its wonderful, hardworking people. Run Sean, Run! (A little spin-off on the great Herschel Walker.)" We reached out to Wichmann for comment, he responded,
I will continue to fight for the liberties and freedoms protected by the United States constitution as I have done for the past 15 months. My loyalty to the people of Wisconsin will remain steadfast regardless of who enters the governor's race.
Kleefisch's campaign could not be reached for comment. When Duffy stepped down as a Congressman, he cited family concerns because he and his wife were having a special needs child.

John Turscak Stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 Times on Black Friday, Prosecutors Say [READ COMPLAINT]

Image
A federal prisoner was charged on Friday with attempted murder in the brutal prison stabbing of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd. Prosecutors say John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin 22 times in the law library at the Tucson Federal Correctional Institution in Arizona with an improvised knife. Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with the intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in bodily injury. Turscak told correctional officers that he would have killed Chauvin had they not responded so quickly. Officers used pepper spray to subdue Turscak. Turscak would later tell FBI agents that he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, because it ws was symbolic with the Black Lives Matter movement and the “Black Hand” symbol associated with the Mexican mafia gang, the complaint says. Turscak told the agents that he had been thinking about attacking Chauvin f...

UW-Milwaukee Protesters BAN Cops From Campus Lawn Owned by Taxpayers

Image
UW-Milwaukee's pro-Palestinian protesters have erected a sign outside their fenced-in encampment on a prominent campus lawn that declares that police are not allowed on the state taxpayer-owned property. They are now calling it the "Falasteen Lawn," which means Palestine Lawn. "Free Palestine.  No cops allowed," the sign declared on May 6. [caption id="attachment_205459" align="alignnone" width="2048"] The sign at the UW-Milwaukee encampment.[/caption] And yet the inaction from city, state and campus officials continued Monday as the protesters get bolder and finals week approaches (how nice of them to create "focus hours" for student studying in between the press conference and speakers!). First, the protesters started camping on a prominent patch of campus lawn in front of a prominent building. Then, they erected a makeshift wall around it, and placed security-vest-wearing guards at the entrances. Then, they ...

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...
