Milwaukee County Supervisors to Vote on Advisory Abortion Referendum on Spring Ballot

The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors will vote on an advisory abortion referendum that would be placed on the spring election ballot Thursday, Dec. 8.
  The resolution is sponsored by supervisors Clancy, Taylor, Cloggs-Jones, Martinez, Burgelis, Martin, Johnson Jr. and Wasserman. The resolution will also call for the transfer of $16,500 to cover the cost of placing the referendum on the ballot. A similar resolution failed last July when supervisors voted on whether to have an advisory abortion referendum placed on the November ballot. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 11-6, with Supervisors Deanna Alexander, Patti Logsdon, Shawn Rolland, Anthony Staskunas, Liz Sumner, and Steve Taylor voting against placing a referendum on the November ballot.

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...
