Our man Barack returning to political arena...yippee..

Former President Obama plans to return to the political spotlight this fall by hitting the campaign trail for Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the Democratic nominee running for Virginia governor.

This will be Obama’s first time campaigning since he left the White House and stumped for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, Obama and Northam’s offices confirmed to the Huffington Post.

The Virginia governor’s race has been on Democrats’ radar since it’s only one of two statewide races this year. Democrats are hoping backlash for President Trump will mobilize the base and help the party maintain their hold on the governor’s mansion.

Our vile Scott Walker is licking his chops....

Gov. Scott Walker to Senate GOP: ‘No excuses’ for failing to repeal Obamacare
By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times
Wednesday, June 21, 2017

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker urged Senate Republicans on Wednesday to keep their promise to repeal Obamacare, saying there are “no excuses” for failing to get it done.

Mr. Walker, a Republican and presidential candidate during the 2016 primary, also told moderate senators hoping to extend Obamacare’s vast expansion of Medicaid coverage to cut it out, saying it is not consistent with their campaign promises.

“Republican senators vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare if they had a chance,” Mr. Walker said. “Well, now is their chance. There are no excuses.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans will see a discussion draft of his closely held bill on Thursday, though the legislation is already suffering from an enthusiasm gap, as GOP senators plead for time and grumble about the secretive process.

“What I’ve told leadership very clearly is I’m going to need time and my constituents are going to need time to evaluate exactly how this is going to affect them,” Sen. Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said on CNN. “I personally think that holding a vote on this next week would definitely be rushed. I can’t imagine, quite honestly, that I’d have the information to evaluate and justify a yes vote just within a week.”

Yet his own state’s governor appeared to suggest that any attempt to stray from the GOP’s push would be unacceptable.

“Senate Republicans need to keep their promise and repeal and replace Obamacare,” Mr. Walker said.

GA 6 is not so much a test of Cheeto's popularity

GA 6 is not so much a test of Cheeto's popularity, but the number of zillionaires/oligarichs flooding the R candidate with dough. And CNN and MS RNC won't tell you that....they both run commercials for Kochs. Who we detest here in WI...look what they did to us.

WI has its own Eliz Warren...meet Katrina


Rep. Katrina Shankland
29 mins ·

Democratic Representative Katrina Shankland told NewsChannel7 she believes voters are being taken advantage of and that it's time they be represented fairly.

"The only thing that I see as woefully ignorant is Republicans rigging the game, writing their own rules to benefit themselves, and then blaming other people. Instead we need fair maps that don't benefit any political party - and voters should chose their representatives, not the other way around," explained Shankland.
Gov. Walker: critics' argument in gerrymandering case 'woefully ignorant'
Governor Scott Walker said Monday the argument Wisconsin lawmakers' redistricting plan gave republicans an advantage in the 2016 election is invalid.

He's In! Randy Bryce To Take On And Take Out Lyin' Ryan!

He's In! Randy Bryce To Take On And Take Out Lyin' Ryan!

Well, we did it, my friends!

We called upon Randy Bryce to step up and serve his country one more time by running to repeal and replace Lyin' Ryan, and he heard us.

Not only did he hear us, he heeded our words and has entered the race!

It will be the hard hat versus the silk stockings, the working man against the corporate puppet.

If one goes to Randy's website and read his bio, the gentle reader will see what I have been saying is true. He's a strong advocate for veterans, for kids and for the working class.

But let me tell you two personal stories on why I support Randy.

I have known Randy for years and have gotten to know him fairly well. We both were delegates to the Milwaukee Area Labor Council and we were both fortunate enough to have served on the executive board of that esteemed group.

A banquet hall/restaurant in Milwaukee, Serb Hall, was famous for their Friday fish fries. The Labor Council would hold their monthly meetings there because it was also a union shop.

Five years ago, they went through a management change and the new management was most definitely anti-union. They were bound and determined to bust the union there, no matter how many labor laws they had to violate in doing so.

Randy and I then came up with one of the most unique ways ever heard of to take a stand for our union brothers and sisters that worked there. Instead of what one might have expected, we did not hold protests outside the building. We did not carry picket signs or yelled chants.

Instead, we encouraged people to go to Serb Hall every Friday for the fish fry. But when they did, we asked people to ask for a table served by union waitstaff. Every Friday for months and months, Randy was there to support his brothers and sisters. And every Friday, when he went to pay his bill, he would make sure to write on the bill that it was paid for with union dollars in support of union workers.

But that is who Randy is in a nutshell. He is a generous, giving man who doesn't hesitate to take any action needed to fight for what is right, regardless of what union or even if it's not union related.

Then, two years ago, my father passed away after a long illness. The problem was that my dad was a hoarder and we faced a daunting, Herculean task of cleaning the house out. This task was made even more challenging by the fact that I had broke my arm on the first day of cleaning. Randy did not hesitate to drive the 25 miles from his house to my dad's and help us work on cleaning the house out.

Again, that is who Randy is. And that is exactly the kind of person we need in Washington, DC, to represent us. Someone who will listen, someone who genuinely cares, and someone who will not rest until the job is done.

And that is why I am proud as hell to support Randy and endorse him for Congress.
