I went and voted in the WI primary the only contested election for the Republicans in my area is Lt. Governor. In case someone else is wondering here are the candidates.
Will Martin, Republican
Will Martin, a talk radio host who calls himself a “common-sense conservative,” announced his campaign on Oct. 20, and received an endorsement from the Republican Party of Wisconsin at their party convention in May.
Martin, who lives in Racine, previously worked under former Republican governors Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker.
David Varnam, Republican
David Varnam, who launched his bid for lieutenant governor on Sept. 25, formerly served as mayor of Lancaster, located in Grant County, for six years after nearly three years as a common council member.
He is centering his campaign on shrinking state government, partnering with private sectors and communities, lowering taxes and the cost of housing, addressing AI-driven job losses and bringing energy production and environmental stewardship together, by investing in technologies to cut emissions without raising costs.
Varnam identifies as a “pro-life, pro-Second Amendment conservative Republican,” running on the platform of lowering taxes, protecting women’s sports, supporting school choice programs and, if elected, he would work alongside President Donald Trump on the issue on the issue of immigration.
He also ran for lieutenant governor in 2022, but finished seventh in the eight-candidate primary. He formerly worked as a congressional aide and a federal policy analyst for Focus on the Family, a Christian nonprofit founded by James Dobson.
“Two of my most important titles are husband and father. I am concerned about my family’s future and the path Democrats are taking Wisconsin down,” Varnam said in a news release.f immigration.
Order on the ballot is Martin then Varnam.

This is the army that Kamala Harris, Biden’s border czar, let invade our beloved nation. They are not here to assimilate. And she’s running again. – James Woods
When will the stabbings begin like in London? Asking for a friend!
Apparently it isn’t a family event.
Is that the same for all “holidays” (women and kids stay home)?
She also found the 80% miscarriage rate in the Pfizer Shots several years ago.
I think Christine Northrup did too
And Dr. James Thorp as well.

The muslims are doing an excellent job of taking over Texas. McKinny was their most recent conquest.
Texas’ government is very conservative. The Texas news I trust indicates a strong backlash against Islamic attempts to establish their crazy culture here.
The only ones helping Islam are the loony liberal governments that run a few of our big cities. Their influence is slowly diminishing.
PS Liberals always say their crappy US Senate candidates are leading in polls and gonna win. Those candidates always have a huge advantage in campaign funds. Talarico is the most disgusting one they’ve ever backed. Trust me on this, Paxton wins by a comfortable margin, as the Republicans always do.

Huge! Abdul El-Sayed was actually a fellow at Demos that Barack Obama helped to create. He also served in the Biden admin. Gee wonder who got him in there, eh? 😏 And there’s tons more! Keep reading!
♦️Abdul is a fellow at the Sanders Institute and served under Biden:
“In 2020, he served as a national surrogate for both Sen Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary, and Vice President Joe Biden and Sen Kamala Harris in the general election.
He also served as a Sanders appointee and one of eight members of Vice President Biden’s 2020 Unity Task Force for Healthcare.”

BETRAYAL IN THE SWAMP: Turncoat John Thune Sends Senate Home for 37 Days — But Schedules 11 Pro Forma Sessions to BLOCK Trump from Making Recess Appointments
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/08/betrayal-swamp-useless-john-thune-sends-senate-home/
There has to be a way around this. Is it even constitutional? Is “check and balances” to mean that a president cannot be allowed to form his administration?
Someone needs to beat the ever lovin’ crap out of John Thune! He is a pathetic hemorrhoid on the butt of Washington, DC.
Oh but all the Republicans in the Senate adore him! Hmmm.
Probably True.
The “leaks” regarding President Trump’s means of Transportation from Turkey, after the NATO need to be called by their real name as they were not “leaks” …. These were direct warnings if not bald faced direct threats aimed at President Trump … by the US INTEL services.
… as in .. “we know where you are and where you are going to be at ALL times … you are always locked-on targeted”.
Storms are a coming……….be ready…..hang tuff…
John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
That verse just came into my spirit as soon as I saw the picture. Love it!
Live long & prosper.
It was way stormy in Chicagoland today…my ‘hood got 1 1/4 inches of rain in about 30 minutes…tornado sirens, you name it…
Makes other storms seem mild….
God Bless America.
After watching the 1,000,000th commercial for a cure to some NEW 3-LETTER ailment … when will somebody close to RFK Jr, president Trump’s Health Apointees of all types and DoJ take notice of the common theme in ALL these commercials??
The Pharmaceutical Companies and Medical profession have teamed up to create an ailment with a 3-Letter catchy Acronym for any condition from … being in 100% perfect health to a variation of the worst medical disease one can name … that has a NEW sure fired cure coming onto the market recommended by some physician or licensed medical witch doctor … then we are told “ask your doctor about it”.
Listen closely to the end of the commercial because ALL the disclaimers say the same thing “…. may cause unexplained bouts of ANGER, DEPRESSION and thoughts of SUICIDE.”
Balance this against ALL the recent rash of murders, attacks, murder-suicide, increased suicide, violent behavior by unexpected perpetrators … essentially the FDA is allowing the Pharmaceutical and Medical Profession to literally create 1,000’s of loaded weapons among us that require NO TRIGGERING EVENTS nor IDEOLOGY to go-off in a violent manner on those around them.
The vaccine issue in some ways and all those BS Commercials about “talking through problems” (to avoid gun violence) are just a diversions from the REAL CAUSE as in the drugs being injected into society by the medical profession for personal gain … sanctioned by the health Agencies of the US Government.
**Title:** The Free Everything Fire-Sale
[Intro – Heavy acoustic slide guitar, dark driving drum beat, sinister slide notes]
(Verse 1)
[Sarcastic, spoken-sung, low and mocking voice]
Step right up, folks, put your deeds in the bowl!
Welcome to the grand auction of the American soul!
Comrade Mamdani’s got a brand new trick—
He’ll fix all your problems if you just sign real quick!
Free buses! Free daycare! City-run food!
(Oh, ignore the math, don’t be so crude!)
He says, *”We’ll just tax the top one percent!”*
Until the rich pack their bags and pay zero rent!
(Verse 2)
[Building speed, punchy, dripping with sarcasm]
Got a million-dollar condo? He put you on a list!
A searchable database so no target gets missed!
“Pied-à-terre tax” and a massive state squeeze,
He’s bringin’ high earners straight down to their knees!
Isn’t it glorious? Isn’t it neat?
He escaped the state-run lines on the street,
Just to build a new bureau, a new price-control board,
And tax every penny your family stored!
(Chorus)
[Aggressive, explosive, full-throated rock vocals, roaring electric guitar]
Oh, “FREE EVERYTHING!”—what a beautiful lie!
Just trade off your freedom and wave it goodbye!
Our forefathers didn’t bleed out in the mud,
Didn’t pay for our rights with American Blood,
Just for central planners to sit at the wheel,
And dictate your life with a government seal!
Yeah, nothing is free when it costs you your right,
So put up your hands, folks, and fight!
(Verse 3)
[Spoken-sung, fast-paced, snarky tone]
You want to buy a latte? Well, prepare for the surcharge!
He’s double-taxing business to keep the state large!
And when the shops close and the city goes dark,
He’ll blame “capitalist greed” from his podium in the park!
*”You commie!”* shouts the worker, *”How blind can you be?*
*You fled the red banner to bring it to me?!”*
(Bridge)
[Music drops down to a heavy, ominous beat – Spoken with deadly intensity]
Listen close, comrade, to the sound of the dirt:
Valley Forge, Yorktown, the sweat on the shirt.
Liberty wasn’t a gift from a mayor.
It wasn’t a promise, a pamphlet, or prayer.
It was bought with the lives of the brave and the bold,
And it’s sure as hell not something that’s going to be sold!
(Guitar Solo – Screaming, distorted electric guitar, furious tempo)
(Chorus)
[Maximum intensity, roaring vocals, crashing cymbals]
Oh, “FREE EVERYTHING!”—what a beautiful lie!
Just trade off your freedom and wave it goodbye!
Our forefathers didn’t bleed out in the mud,
Didn’t pay for our rights with American Blood,
Just for central planners to sit at the wheel,
And dictate your life with a government seal!
(Outro)
[Sarcastic spoken fade-out over a heavy, stomping beat]
So enjoy your state-approved dinner tonight, friends!
Check your property records before the night ends!
Mamdani’s handing out “free” stuff left and right…
And all it costs is your country.
Good night!
[Final massive guitar crash, ringing feedback, heavy cymbal hit]
today the Treasury Dept. issued a statement that it has officially, permanently ended the requirement for US businesses to provide beneficial ownership documentation to the FinCEN (financial crimes bureau) – and that businesses that had previously provide the required information (which our company did) the Dept. is deleting, removing all informatin provided.
Link to the official statement:
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0603
For those unaware, this had been a requirement set up under FJB’s administration to get all the details it could on the ownership of small, medium and large privately owned busiesses under the guise of trying to stop money-laundering; the requirement was created in January 2021 when congress passed a law that created the Corporate Transparency Act (the ‘CTA’). that was the door to circumvent the Fourth Amendment under the ‘harmless’ idea of banks ‘knowing your customer’.
One of the first things Sec. Bessent did was put a hold on that requirement, to review the regulations, etc. with the stated intent to do away with this requirement. Today this announcement fulfills that promise.
Another win.
Thank you for sharing this.
nice one. there was no discernible benefit to this overreach at all, other than to have a record of firms they wanted to punish if and when it suited them.
That is excellent news! Thanks for posting this…
may all Treepers have a safe peaceful good evening…
Wow. 🤩 wish I was there. Awesome.
Thank you.

Indira Talwani. A nice American name. How long has she lived here? What’s her authority for interfering in the executive responsibilities to running the country. The judiciary strikes again. Hope this is overturned asap.

Considering the source, it seems as though the civil war in the Democrat Party is hotting up, with this confirmation that El-Sayed’s previous YouTube clips are going to be problematic, as predicted.

Hong’s also got possible problems (though given the makeup of the party she represents, possibly not) in her primary bid, with the unsurprising revelation that she was one of six to vote against a law tightening the definition of grooming.

Sauerkraout pop-tart… cracked m up.
Also I liked the rubio comment on MAHA JFK diet, … made me laugh, and sounds like the Trump team have fun together.
I come to this site for the funny stuff, and artist stuff, and friendly banter.
(I don’t like the mean-spirited stuff that some posters are into. I like the friendly posts and funny posts better)
Thanks
About ten years ago, there was a flavor for potato chips….’biscuits and gravy’….
I remember that! Never tried them, though.
EEeewww!
Thanks for posting. That’s the best laugh I’ve had today. His wife is really funny.
That’s hilarious! He is kind of right though. RFK eats a very restrictive but healthy diet that most of us won’t or can’t do. Pop tarts! Probably one of the worst foods ever but that shows how the food companies have locked in the American diet to prepared junk foods they produce. Rubio is a good representation of the mountain we have to climb to get people to eat healthier. His wife was so funny letting the truth out about his diet though.
Can anyone tell me if this animal is an illegal alien?
Marcos Iriarte-Valdez was arrested for stabbing a man to death in Martinez, Ca.
WTF?
This is an unconstitutional establishment of religion. Is there also a Christian commission? Didn’t think so. If this is challenged, it will be disallowed. That said, they will just do it anyway under another guise.
UPDATE from Swarthmore College.
This video has everything: Students who love Hamas. Brainwashing. Foreign influence. Hamas terrorists. Students threatening the university. Male students dressed like women who support Hamas. Some dude who calls himself Winona.
And YOU, the American taxpayer, are on the hook for all of it.
9 students have been arrested for their participation in violent protests and hundreds of acts of vandalism on campus in support of “Palestine.”
They spray painted buildings with symbols that Hamas uses to target the deaths of Jews, like the inverted triangle that one of the students is displaying in an attempt to threaten Jewish students (pic on right).
In the video, one of the ringleaders of the Swarthmore 9 explains why they’re so desperate to beat the charges:
It’s not so they can get back to their education. It’s so they can get back to fighting and organizing for Palestine.
They hijacked part of the campus and named it after a former Hamas member, Hossam Shabat.
A student in the video admits that the family of this Hamas terrorist called students 24 hours after his death. That’s… odd.
One student who calls himself “Winona” let’s the truth slip about why they need to beat the charges:
They want the Swarthmore 9 case to become a blueprint for students across the country… proof that you can riot, vandalize your campus, and hold an entire institution hostage for “Palestine.”
These “students” are fighting for legal permission to operate as domestic terrorists on a federally funded campus.
And you’re paying for it.

GOD TIME just ended a few minutes ago. And it was very enlightening to me, and you might like what I got in this session.
I was shown my life, this life, and different periods in my life, the good times and bad times, …
Then examined the good times, they were times when I was learning new things, or doing jobs, and hobbies, and hanging with people over the years.
The intersting thing was when I started those activities and ended those activities. When I was in the “GOD FLOW”, I had fun doing stuff, and it could go on for a few years, then a time did come, where the GOD FLOW stopped, and if I continued the activity it would become very, very hard to continue doing it. Sometimes I stayed in activity that felt like I was in HELL.
So, I was looking at tons of events, and realized when the GOD VIBE was in the relationship, job, hobby, etc. It felt GREAT, … like I was with “friend” or Presence … or something that made what I was doing feel GOOD.
And when that “presence” left, is was HELL, and almost impossible for me to continue doing that activity, or whatever it was … that didn’t seem to have the GOD VIBE in it. I would NOT have called it “GOD VIBE” in the past, only I liked doing such and such … some stuff for years. But when the music died (relationship/job/hobby)… didn’t have the GOD VIBE … I now realize, … it’s time to find something else that makes my soul sing again. Thanks GOD for showing me this … and having interesting life review an hour ago.

NBC News just reported that, on the way back from Turkey, President Trump was seen entering Old Air Force One, but he dodged out the back, entered a catering truck, was driven down the tarmac to a different aircraft, where he and Sec. Hegseth then embarked and flew to Europe.
NBC was aghast that our president left behind Sec. Rubio, Sec. Bessent, White House Staff, and Members of the Press, to fly in the decoy plane, which was under credible threat of being shot down by an Iranian shoulder-fired missile.
Well, I guess some Cabinet Members are essential, like Pete Hegseth, whom the president took with him to the other plane. And some are expendable, in this case Rubio and Bessent, left to travel in the Big Target. Many will say, “don’t read anything into this.” But, of course, I must. It reinforced my “Trust in Trump,” his discernment regarding whom he can most rely.
And you suppose that if all cabinet members left the plane no one would notice, or would notice and then report on it? Kinds defeats the purpose of a decoy, right?

For those in the back…
Your liberty doesn’t disappear just because surveillance is convenient.
Dan Wilson argues that mass surveillance turns the Fourth Amendment on its head: government shouldn’t be tracking the movements of people simply going about their lives without a legitimate, articulable reason to investigate them.
And the same principle applies to free speech. Constitutional protections matter most when government officials — including the ones you may trust today — don’t get to decide when those protections apply..

My spider senses tell me there is more to Camp 77 than we are being told.
In our county of 400,000, they went into full freakout mode over 400 possible cases of the flu. That is all I needed to know about “covid”. We destroyed a lot in this county that never recovered over this Democrat 2020 election year hoax.
