RNC Sues Milwaukee for Shutting Out Poll Watchers

Monday, the Republican National Committee sued the Milwaukee Elections Commission for the city's plan to limit poll watchers in certain precincts on Election Day. According to a RNC press release:
  • The Milwaukee Elections Commission announced over the weekend that certain voting precincts may be limited to only one Republican and one Democrat poll watcher on Election Day.
  • They have not disclosed which precincts will be affected, further reducing transparency in the process.
  • There is no way to ensure that an official RNC poll watcher will be allowed to observe the process.
  • Every outside group would also be completely denied the ability to observe.
  • This is a concerning directive and must be reversed immediately.
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump stated: “Wisconsin voters deserve to know that there are poll watchers from both parties in the room as votes are being cast and counted on Election Day. The RNC has not recruited and trained thousands of volunteers in the Badger State simply to back down from misguided officials who want to prevent a full measure of poll-watching transparency. This lawsuit will compel officials in Milwaukee to ensure robust poll watcher access for the Republican Party.” The full complaint can be read here: [embeddoc url="https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/MKE_Summons_and_Complaint_filed_no_stamp_1730742648-1.pdf"] https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/rnc-sues-milwaukee/?feed_id=23731&_unique_id=67290e28ac167

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
