  • Di Leo: Bus Lanes and Bike Paths As Our Cities Crumble

    Illinois Review ^ | March 16, AD 2024 | John F. Di Leo
    Reading a campaign speech in Milwaukee this week, Joe Biden boasted of a plan to spend some $36 million on a stretch of 6th Street, just west of downtown Milwaukee. His speechwriter had him listing such federally funded benefits as bike lanes, newly planted trees, and bus lanes to make 6th Street a prettier place to be. And sure, it might at that. Trees are always lovely for pedestrians, though they can obstruct the view of pedestrians, drivers, and bicyclists alike. And bicycles and buses are always generically popular, even though in Milwaukee they each tend to have about the...

    'You have to have blinders on to not see that there have been problems'... WHITEWATER, Wis.—The migrants began to trickle into Whitewater, a sleepy town of 15,000 an hour west of Milwaukee, toward the end of 2021. Prior to their arrival, local news and political debates generally revolved around school fundraisers or the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's D3 athletics. Today, residents are focused on their 1,000 new neighbors, who mostly hail from Nicaragua and Venezuela and largely keep to the shadows because they lack official identification. Locals say the real number of migrants in the town could easily be double the...

    The Milwaukee initiative has all the markings of ‘Bidenbucks,’ an executive order that threatens to transform federal agencies into a get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats. Just 16 percent of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) students can read and write at grade level. Only 12 percent are proficient in math in the swing state of Wisconsin’s largest school district. So why on earth is MPS prioritizing work with a Democrat-aligned activist organization aimed at turning out to the polls the 18-year-old students MPS has for so long failed? Why is the anti-voter ID group VoteRiders working with MPS faculty designated as “Voter Champions”...

    The Republican who led the first investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 election says she does not trust the effort to count the state’s absentee ballots early because she doesn’t trust election officials in Milwaukee. State Rep. Janel Brandtken told The Center Square there are serious security concerns with the Monday Count plan moving ahead at the Wisconsin Capitol. “I get the concept, but Milwaukee has not been a trustworthy partner in elections as I have witnessed in recount, and central count elections,” Brandtjen said. Brandtjen said her experience with former Milwaukee Elections Commission Director Kim Zapata adds to her distrust. Zapata...
  • In Milwaukee, Biden looks to highlight progress for Black-owned small businesses (Wisconsin)

    Channel 3000 News/AP ^ | December 20, 2023 | AP Staff
    President Joe Biden is aiming to use a visit to the battleground state of Wisconsin on Wednesday to spotlight a surge in federal government support for Black-owned small businesses during his White House tenure and to highlight his administration's efforts to ramp up investment in distressed communities. The Small Business Administration in the last fiscal year backed 4,700 loans valued at $1.5 billion to Black-owned businesses. Under Biden, the SBA says it has more than doubled the number and total dollar amount of loans to Black-owned small businesses. Since 2020, the share of the SBA’s loans going to minority-owned businesses...
  • Report: Milwaukee County DA Refused To Probe 354 Potential Cases Of Illegal Voting

    The Federalist ^ | 12/13/2023 | Shawn Fleetwood
    Milwaukee County, Wisconsin’s Democrat district attorney refused to probe more than 350 potential cases of illegal voting, a new report found. After visiting the Milwaukee Election Commission offices, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) discovered that DA John Chisholm, a soft-on-crime leftist, has declined to “review at least 354 referrals for potentially unlawful same-day voter registrations.” Like several other states, Wisconsin authorizes same-day voter registration, which allows residents to cast their ballot on the same day they register to vote. Despite Democrats’ claim that this policy is a win for “democracy,” its major flaw is that it, as noted by...

    MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee woman has been sentenced to one year of probation for pulling a gun inside a school.

It happened May 10 at Rocketship Transformation Prep near 68th and Silver Spring. According to a criminal complaint, a teacher told police she saw a woman yelling about a fight in a hallway. The teacher then realized the woman was Hamilton. Another teacher said a woman was yelling that she was going to "beat...

    A new report just released by the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has offered shocking new insights into the full extent of the FBI’s efforts to use government power and resources to target, intimidate, and harass Catholics, pro-life activists, and other members of the religious community. The December 4 report found, among other disturbing revelations, that the FBI “abused its counterterrorism tools to target Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists” when agency operatives in Richmond, Virginia, circulated a memo designating so-called “radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]” as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.” “The Committee and Select Subcommittee...

    Rashida Tlaib had the crowd eating out of her hand. It was March 2018, and the hookah lounge in a working-class suburb outside of Chicago was packed. Warm and engaging, switching frequently between English and Arabic, Tlaib - a Michigan State representative with larger ambitions - pleaded for out-of-state donations to help her become the first Palestinian American in Congress. She unashamedly told the audience that her Detroit constituents often declared: 'Rashida is a warrior, and this is a war we're in.' Sitting in the front row, Rafeeq Jaber listened intently, seemingly impressed and knowing a thing or two about...

    Below is the Jew-hating caricature that greeted David Horowitz when he showed up to speak at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on April 3, 2008.The students who distributed this hateful image of Horowitz with a hooked nose and a Nazi uniform were members of the Muslim Student Association. They had privileges from the student unions at the school that the kids who invited David did not. The chapter of the Hamas-supporting campus hate group was accused of tearing down 2,000 of the posters promoting his appearance. The cartoon also appeared in the student papers, the UW–M Post and on the front...
  • Young black voter leaves CNN host slack-jawed over what he says about Biden's 2024 campaign: 'My jaw literally dropped'

    CNN host Phil Mattingly admitted Friday that his jaw "literally dropped" after hearing a young black voter admit that he doesn't know if he will vote for President Joe Biden in 2024. CNN anchor John King recently traveled to Milwaukee where he gauged the pulse of the black community there. What he discovered, according to him, is a "giant problem" for Biden's re-election hopes. One Milwaukee voter, Davette Bake, told King that he "love[s] Joe" but graded Biden's presidency a four on a scale of 1 to 10. Another voter, Joanna Brookes, expressed concern that the Democratic Party takes black...

    MILWAUKEE - Could answers to one of the nation’s most famous unsolved murder mysteries be buried in Milwaukee? Volunteer cold case investigators believe the body of former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa could have been buried where old Milwaukee County Stadium's third base was – currently paved over outside American Family Field. "You kept seeing somebody would come out, ‘Well we know where Jimmy Hoffa is – he’s in New Jersey, he’s in this garbage dump,'" said Jim Zimmerman, an investigator with "The Case Breakers." "Then he’s not there. It’d make it more intriguing each time."

    Remember Gaige Grosskreutz? He was the establishment's darling during the trial to make an example of Kyle Rittenhouse. Gaige, a convicted felon with a long criminal history, was illegally carrying a pistol that he pulled on Kyle Rittenhouse as the young man was trying to escape from the violent BLM mob in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the 2020 "Summer of Love." For his trouble, Gaige got his bicep blown off by Rittenhouse. He was then paraded in court as a victim and the mainstream media ate it up. Well, after Rittenhouse was acquitted and the Left failed to undermine the right...

    A Democratic National Committee surrogate in Milwaukee ahead of the GOP debate was blasted on social media after disputing the notion that America is in "decline" under President Biden by pointing to the success of Democrat-run cities. "I would suggest that anybody who thinks that this country is in decline — come to cities!" Satya Rhodes-Conway, Madison, Wisconsin’s Democratic mayor, said during a press conference before the GOP debate on Wednesday. "Because Democrat mayors all across the nation are creating great places where people want to be. Where growth is happening, and where our economy is growing. This is not...

    A reporter for Milwaukee, Wisconsin station WTMJ-TV said on Twitter that she fled the Country Thunder music festival Friday night after a male patron twice called her the ‘n-word’ and people laughed at her instead of helping. The reporter, Taylor Lumpkin, apparently has not posted any video of the incident nor any video from her time at the festival. Jason Aldean, who has drawn criticism from the left for his song “Try That in a Small Town”, played the song during his headliner set at the festival Saturday night. Wisconsin Speaker of the State Assembly Robin Vos (R) tweeted his...

    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police in Milwaukee arrested a second person in a shooting in which six people, including the two alleged shooters, were wounded right after a Juneteenth celebration wrapped up.

It was one of many shootings that took place across the country over a bloody holiday weekend. “It’s just freaking heartbreaking. We have to do better as parents....

    MILWAUKEE -- A bus driver was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence while transporting the Pittsburgh Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee for their weekend series with the Brewers. Illinois State Police said the driver was traveling away from officers seeking to escort the bus on its trip to Milwaukee late Thursday night. Troopers said they observed more erratic driving and eventually stopped the bus on the right shoulder of Interstate 94 in Chicago. Police said the driver was arrested after they observed “multiple signs of impairment.” The driver isn’t a Pirates employee but was contracted to drive...
