Protesters Shout at Sen. Tammy Baldwin at Wisconsin Democratic Convention [VIDEO]

Pro-Palestinian protesters shouted at U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin at the state Democratic Convention in Milwaukee on June 8, disrupting her speech before they were expelled from the room. Matt Smith, the political director for WISN-TV, shared a video of the moment on X. "Protesters interrupt Sen Tammy Baldwin moments after she takes the stage as she attempts to continue her address talking about her GOP opponent Eric Hovde," he wrote. https://twitter.com/mattsmith_news/status/1799615944861597938 The video shows a protester being led out of the room as she screamed at Baldwin, who responded by talking about Hovde. Baldwin, a Democrat who is considered a vulnerable incumbent by national political media, has been hounded by pro-Palestinian protesters at campaign appearances for months. An apparently rattled Baldwin flip-flopped on a key issue, coming out in favor of a ceasefire that would rob Israel of its ability to defend itself in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. She has also voiced support for bringing Palestinian refugees to the U.S., slipped through a back door during a Green Bay protest, has a history of going soft on Iran, voted to send money to the Palestinian authority, and more. But it wasn't enough for the protesters. Here's another view: https://twitter.com/BlakeThor1/status/1799617174329294951 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Baldwin was "interrupted four times by about a half-dozen people calling for a cease-fire in Gaza" and that her supporters chanted back at them.
According to the Badger Herald, about 70 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the Milwaukee convention. "We can no longer take empty words from the Democrats," one speaker said, according to the Badger Herald. The Wisconsin Law Journal wrote on X that four protesters were escorted out of the state Democratic Convention, sharing additional videos. https://twitter.com/WisLawJournal/status/1799621303017869546 WPR reporter Anya van Wagtendonk wrote on X that one protester called Baldwin a "disgrace." "After a relatively low-key few hours of speeches at the Wisconsin state Democratic Party convention today, pro-Palestinian protesters have begun interrupting Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s remarks. One called her a 'disgrace,'" she wrote. https://twitter.com/twiceanya/status/1799617535215857812 https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/tammy-baldwin-protesters/?feed_id=16436&_unique_id=666666c37e6b2

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

Federal Probe Centers on Milwaukee City Council Approval Of Concert Facility In Deer District: Mark Belling

Image
By Mark Belling, WISN-AM A federal grand jury investigation is focusing on approval by the Milwaukee Common Council of the proposed concert venue to be built near Fiserv Forum in the Deer District. The existence of the federal probe was first reported by me on Friday November 10. I have learned that the ongoing probe is focused on two Milwaukee aldermen who reversed their original opposition to the project. I am not naming the aldermen as they have not been charged but I am aware of who they are. The 4,000 seat concert venue is to be built by Madison's Frank Productions, which is owned by the national music promoter Live Nation. The president of Frank Productions is Joel Plant. The firm retained prominent lobbyist Buddy Julius in the weeks before it obtained council approval. The land on which the facility is to be built is owned by the Milwaukee Bucks. Frank Productions would lease the property. The proposal had been facing opposition from operators of other concert venu

List of American Hostages Still Held by Hamas: Why Don't We All Know Their Names?

Image
We're old enough to remember when American hostages held by terrorist groups overseas were big national stories, their names known by every American through wall-to-wall media coverage; their release sought through aggressive pressure by U.S. presidents, local politicians, and the media. Terry Anderson , the Associated Press journalist kidnapped by Hezbollah in 1985, comes to mind. Or Kevin Hermening, A hostage held captive during the Iranian hostage crisis. Or Daniel Pearl , murdered after being taken hostage in Pakistan. Yet it's surprisingly extremely difficult to find a list of the six Americans held hostage by Hamas, as of Jan. 19, if you don't already know their names. Their names should have immediate household recognition by now; the U.S. government should be doing everything in its power to secure their release. Each has received some local coverage, and some a smattering of national coverage, but it is way too difficult to find their names as a group. Ins
