The House of Representatives voted to kill a resolution to censure progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, R-Mich., on Wednesday night. Nearly two dozen Republicans voted along with all House Democrats to table the resolution in a final vote of 222 to 186 in favor of killing the motion without debate. Democrats briefly broke out into applause when the resolution failed.

House Republicans are demanding the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) release body and surveillance camera footage as well any other footage in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert and South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman first requested the information from the DOJ in October 2021. Now, they are re-upping their inquiry, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to release the information since their constituents have a “growing concern” with the DOJ’s “apparent failure” to do so. “Many Americans question why their government,...

On Monday, I reported that Dr. Ryan Cole came out and warned that those taking the COVID experimental shots had a 20 times greater chance of contracting cancer than “unvaccinated” people. And while many have mocked the “anti-vaxxers” while taking their shot, they failed to live to really tell about it because they died shortly thereafter. Now, a “Sex and the City” actor is dead five months after taking the deadly Pfizer shot and mocking “non-vaccinated” people as “ignorant morons.”57-year-old Willie Garson, whose real name is William Paszamant, received his second Pfizer mRNA injection on April 14, according to his...

The election Tuesday to replace 35-year GOP congressman Tom Petri of Fond du Lac may be Wisconsin’s most unusual U.S. House race in decades. That’s because of the extraordinary rift between Petri and the candidate his own party has nominated to replace him, state lawmaker Glenn Grothman. Grothman decided last April to run against Petri. It’s the kind of serious primary challenge that almost never happens in a Wisconsin congressional race. He continued to criticize Petri after Petri announced his retirement, saying he’d be insulted if he went to Washington and people thought he was “just like Tom Petri.” And...

Outgoing Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Petri doesn’t strike us as a big fan of conservative state Sen. Glenn Grothman, who narrowly won the GOP primary last month in the race to replace Petri. When asked about Grothman by WisPolitics.com on Tuesday, Petri offered tepid praise for his possible successor, calling him “able.” Of course, Grothman jumped in the race before Petri announced his retirement, accusing the 35-year veteran congressman of not being sufficiently conservative.

CAMPBELLSPORT – On Friday, 6th District Congressional candidate Glenn Grothman (R-Campbellsport) slammed Joe Leibham (R-Sheboygan) for accepting a maximum limit contribution from a progressive trade union. More: Stroebel, Leibham Trade Barbs Over Voter ID According to records from the Federal Elections Commission, Leibham accepted $5,000 from the Laborers Union International North America (LIUNA) PAC on July 15, 2014. The LIUNA was very evident during the 2011 protests against Governor Scott Walker over Act 10 which was upheld by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court and the federal Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The LIUNA has 500,000 members that are represented in...

When asked if the endorsement of Senator Santorum would change the complexion of the race for the GOP nomination in the 6th Congressional District, Senator Grothman said that he expected the establishment to go against his campaign and feels that the establishment does not like conservatives. Former Senator Santorum said that he is no big fan of the establishment. The 6th Congressional District is located in parts of Northeastern and South Central Wisconsin. Major cities in the district include Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Neenah, Oshkosh, Port Washington, and Sheboygan. The winner of the August 12th GOP primary between...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews tried Monday to push the liberal media meme that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker exempted police and firefighters from his budget repair plan because their unions endorsed him in last November's election. "Well one more time you're completely uninformed," replied Republican State Senator Glenn Grothman who then proceeded to tell the facts to the obviously clueless "Hardball" host (video follows with transcript and commentary): CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let me go to the Republican, Senator Grothman. My question of course is why does the Governor pick on the unions that didn't endorse him in the last campaign but give...

Assemblyman criticizes Panzer fund-raising letter By STEVEN WALTERS swalters@journalsentinel.com Posted: Aug. 13, 2004Madison - Another Assembly member who represents the same area as Senate Majority Leader Mary Panzer (R-West Bend) on Friday endorsed Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman, her Sept. 14 primary opponent. In a statement, Rep. Mark Gottlieb (R-Port Washington) said he was moved to back Grothman because of an Aug. 10 fund-raising letter Panzer wrote - a letter Gottlieb said was full of "innuendo, half-truth and false charges." In that letter, Panzer said "outside special interests" are funding and advising Grothman. She also took credit for trying to...
