Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by only a single point in the battleground state of Wisconsin. FabrizioWard surveyed 600 likely voters and found a 49 to 48 percent squeaker in Harris’s favor. The poll was taken entirely after the September 10 debate, between September 11 and 14, 2024, and lines up with other polls in Dairy State that show an insanely tight race. With independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot, Harris leads by three points, 48 to 45 percent. Kennedy is still appealing to be removed from the ballot after suspending his campaign...

The city of Racine, Wisconsin, failed to meet the state’s parity requirement for election inspectors, the Republican National Committee alleged in a lawsuit, claiming the city hired a disproportionate number of Democrats in the primary election last month. Attorneys for the RNC say the Racine city clerk allowed unaffiliated poll workers to be election inspectors rather than selecting individuals nominated by the GOP. Only nine of the 56 Republican election inspectors approved to work the Aug. 13 primary were hired by the city. And even though there were fewer Democrats approved, the city hired more Democrats than Republicans, according to...

A 12-year-old boy slayed a 200-pound bear to save his father’s life during a family outing gone horribly wrong. Owen Beierman, 12, shot-and-killed the black bear before it could fatally maul his dad, Ryan, who became pinned under the monstrous beast when shots fired to kill it missed. ‘My left cheek was sliced open and blood was oozing out of the flap. There were two fang marks in my forehead and my face was smattered with blood,’ Ryan told the Star Tribune. ‘The bear was fighting for its life, and I was fighting for mine,’ he continued.... Owen, a regular...

Imagine for a moment that someone thought this was a good idea. Democrats let Gwen Walz speak at a rally this week with Tampon Tim. Gwen Walz is obviously nuts – in a scary sort of way. Rather than hide this freak – they gave her the microphone. Gwen started talking about turning the page on Trump – But Trump is not in power- Kamala is!? She bobs and weaves like her husband. Imagine the conversations that take place in that house! Yikes! Gwen has those crazy eyes. Video at link.

Skeletal remains discovered by a deer hunter in Wisconsin last weekend have been positively identified as Elijah Vue, a three-year-old who went missing from his mother’s boyfriend’s home in February. The remains — a skull and multiple bones — were found on private property in Two Rivers by “a person getting his land ready for the hunting season,” Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert said during a press conference Friday. The land was near the Girl Scout Camp Manitou property, and the body parts were found in a heavily wooded area with thick underbrush, Meinnert said. “This location is just...

One of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in this fall’s presidential race won’t remove more than 4 million ineligible names from its voter rolls. “Wisconsin’s population is a little less than 6 million, with 3.5 million active voters,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Daily Signal in a written statement. “So why do election officials refuse to clean up Wisconsin’s voter rolls and [instead] allow up to 4.1 million inactive voters to remain, with the potential for fraudulently using those names?” Although Johnson and some other lawmakers contend that unpruned voter rolls create election security holes, the Wisconsin Elections Commission...

A loophole in Wisconsin election laws poses a significant risk to election integrity, a report finds. More than 140,000 Wisconsinites can vote in the 2024 election without proving their identify by self-identifying as “Indefinitely Confined,” a new report by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty reveals. Through the loophole, voters can receive an absentee ballot indefinitely without ever showing an ID. In 2020 amid the pandemic, 265,979 registered under the exemption, when clerks in Democratic strongholds encouraged voters to exploit the loophole to circumvent Wisconsin’s voter ID requirements in 2020 – a practice later rebuked unanimously by the Supreme...

That’s six times the election margin between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 2020.Election Integrity deniers often complain that Wisconsin has one of the more stringent voter ID laws in the country. That’s a good thing; the swing state Badger State has proved to be a cesspool of election integrity concerns in recent years. But there’s a voter ID-related loophole cheaters can drive a semi truckload of fraud through. In Wisconsin, voters may claim “Indefinitely Confined” status, which allows them to receive an absentee ballot without presenting proof that they are who they claim to be. A new report, “Wisconsin’s...

In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — all tight races — we see the larger contours of the entire presidential contest ahead of the first Harris-Trump debate. What makes these states close? We'll unpack some of the factors that stand out, including who's seen as better for key voter groups, who voters think has the cognitive health to serve and what to make of the campaign and social-media rhetoric. One one hand: Trump leads with voters who just don't think they're better off financially since the pandemic, whose incomes aren't keeping up with inflation and especially with non-college and White voters...

Kamala Harris made a campaign stop on Saturday at a spice shop known to openly discriminate against Republicans while calling for an end to political “division.” The spice shop, Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, welcomed the Democrat nominee to browse the store and meet some supporters. While facing a gaggle of reporters, Harris claimed, “It’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together, chart a new way forward.” “A lot of what I think is happening, and I was just talking with some folks here in Pittsburgh about it, is that people are...

A Penzeys Spices insider says founder and CEO Bill Penzey's frequent left-wing rants in emails to customers have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years. "It's been devastating," explains the insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "In 2017, our retail operations department flat out said that Bill's attacks had cost the company 50 percent of our customers." Penzey has for years made political assaults on Republicans and conservatives a routine part of his "A Note from Bill" emails to customers, but the insider says he ratcheted up his rhetoric after Donald...

A suspected Venezualan gang member who is not a U.S. citizen now has an ICE detainer hold after he was accused of sexually assaulting a juvenile female in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, according to Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor. The suspect, Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26 of Venezuela, is believed to be a member of “Tren de Aragua,” a violent Venezuelan gang, Teynor wrote in the Sept. 6 press release. That’s the same gang that sparked massive outrage and headlines after a video emerged showing gang members at an Aurora, Colorado, apartment building. According to online court records,...

45th President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump to Hold a Rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 1:00PM CDT. Inflation in Wisconsin has placed a devastating financial burden on hardworking Wisconsinites, as the rising cost of living under Kamala Harris continues to erode paychecks and savings. Since Kamala Harris took office, inflation in the state has surged by 20.5%, forcing the average Wisconsin household to spend an additional $1,001 a month just to maintain their standard of living. Wisconsinites are struggling as their earnings are quickly outpaced by the rising costs of essential goods...

"Exotic animal dealer who had monkeypox has Q fever - But S. Milwaukee man probably caught rare, flu-like ailment while inspecting cows, not selling pets" _______________________________________________________ The South Milwaukee pet dealer at the center of the monkeypox outbreak has now been diagnosed with a second rare animal-borne disease: Q fever, which he likely got from his job as a federal meat inspector. He also still has four prairie dogs that he refuses to euthanize even though public health officials want him to in the interest of preventing future monkeypox infections. Scott Knapp, owner of SK Exotics, disclosed his new illness...

WATERTOWN, Wis. — President Joe Biden visited a small town in western Wisconsin Thursday to talk up his infrastructure and energy spending in the swing state at a local electrical supply company. The visit to the Dairy State, his first since stepping out of the presidential race, was on official presidential business and unconnected to the Harris-Walz campaign — but that didn’t stop Biden from mentioning his “predecessor” Donald Trump several times during his twenty-five-minute speech. Besides bashing the ex-prez at the top of the GOP ticket, Biden appeared to have many other presidents on his mind Thursday. When announcing...

The poll is significant because the economy is the “most important issue” to voters, as they weigh casting their ballot, the polling found. The economy outranked other issues as most important by 20 to 30 points across all major swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

As we reported, that honeymoon for Kamala Harris is looking like it might be over as the American people take a better look at her and her running mate, Tim Walz. I wrote on Wednesday about Nate Silver's latest forecast, a new local Michigan poll that puts former President Donald Trump up in Michigan, as well as the Trafalgar Group/Insider Advantage polls. New Michigan Poll and Latest Nate Silver Forecast Are Going to Cause Dem Meltdowns Now Silver's numbers just got better for Trump and worse for Harris, from what I wrote on Wednesday. As Silver noted, part of that...

Joe Biden, the alleged president, traveled to Westby, Wisconsin on Thursday to deliver remarks on his ‘investing in America’ agenda. The Biden-Harris Regime has destroyed the economy. Biden-Harris tax-and-spend policies have led to the worst inflation crisis in more than 100 years. More and more Americans are falling behind on credit card bills. US credit card debt has soared past $1.4 trillion as inflation crushes hard-working families. But Joe Biden is out there touting his ‘investing in America’ agenda on Thursday and boasting about how it has made communities across Wisconsin ‘more prosperous.’ What a joke. Wisconsinites are not happy...

The lawsuit alleges that the Wisconsin Elections Commission is failing to verify the citizenship of voter registration applicants.With just over two months to go before Election Day, swing state Wisconsin’s elections regulator is being accused of failing to verify the citizenship of registered voters, leading to potentially thousands of “registrants unlawfully included on” the Badger State’s voter rolls. A recent lawsuit filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court by Pewaukee resident and longtime election integrity activist Ardis Cerny alleges the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are failing to do their duty to verify the citizenship of...
