Wisconsin Democrats' attempt to criminalize political diferences with Walker not working

Wisconsin Reporter:
If Democrats see the seemingly endless John Doe investigations as a big gun in their political arsenal against Gov. Scott Walker, the latest poll numbers suggest this not-so-secret weapon isn’t hitting the mark.

Mike Tate and crew at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin haven’t merely been rooting for bombshell revelations against Walker in the secret probes, they’ve been using the investigations as one of their major narratives this election year.

“You can assume they’re finding serious acts of wrongdoing,” Tate, the chippy chairman of the state Dems, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Dan Bice in November, following news the Democrat-led Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office had launched another John Doe into conservatives.

“Every released document has only served to reinforce that Walker has been aware of this criminal activity since at least May of 2010,” Tate told reporters at a Democratic Party news conference last month.

The presser was held on the same day a Milwaukee County judge released thousands of emails of a former aide to Walker when Walker was Milwaukee County executive. Kelly Rindfleisch in 2012 was convicted on a felony charge for campaigning for a GOP lieutenant governor candidate on government time — part of the Milwaukee County DA’s first politically charged John Doe probe spanning nearly three years.

And while investigators found no wrongdoing by Walker, nor have any charges been brought against the Republican governor in the latest court-administered dragnet, that fact is inconsequential to the Democratic Party narrative.

“We`re going to see where this investigation goes. We’ll see what unfolds,” Tate told Fox 6 News in Milwaukee following the release of the Rindfleisch emails. As the TV station noted, “Tate believes the court of public opinion won’t be so kind” to Walker.”

But the court of public opinion, it seems, has been little moved by the politically charged investigations and the storyline liberal partisans have created.

The latest Marquette Law School poll, released Wednesday, shows Walker’s lead on presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mary Burke in the run-up to Wisconsin gubernatorial race in November has crept up a percentage point, to 48 percent to 41 percent. Walker led Burke, a wealthy Madison liberal and Commerce Secretary under former Democrat Gov. Jim Doyle, 47 percent to 41 percent in the law school’s last poll in January.
...
 The prosecution of Rinfleisch has the appearance of an attempt to extort information that would be harmful to the governor, but she apparently had no such information.  While they have driven Rinfleisch to financial ruin with attorney's fees they wound up with a felony conviction for a five minute conversation in her office about someone other than the governor.  You should read this story about the proscutorial abuse she was subjected to.  It sounds like something Travis County liberals would try.  It does not sound like America.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
