From Wisconsin’s state Assembly and Senate races to the US House and Senate, to the presidency, we broke down on these races went, focusing quite a bit on the Wisconsin state Legislature, because in five months there’s a state Supreme Court race that could change everything.
Before that, however, La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds may have come up with a great name for a band, as he showed some discontent with the Judiciary and Administration Committee on the idea of creating a working group for a city administrator position.

Here’s what Obama advisor David Axelrod says about today’s Democrat Party-
–David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama during his presidency, on Thursday said Democrats have “become a smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party” ― and that led to Kamala Harris’ defeat in the White House race.
Many pundits have been upping their blame game in the aftermath of the 2024 election. But analysis from Axelrod, a strategist who successfully helped engineer both of Obama’s national campaigns, merits attention.
“I do have concerns about the way the Democratic Party relates to working-class voters in this country,” Axelrod told broadcaster Anderson Cooper on CNN. “The only group that Democrats gained with in the election on Tuesday was white college graduates. And among working-class voters, there was a significant decline.”
He continued to hammer home a point about the more affluent income bracket that Harris appealed to.
“The only group … Democrats won among were people who make more than $100,000 a year,” Axelrod said. “You can’t win national elections that way, and it certainly shouldn’t be that way for a party that fashions itself as the party of working people.”
Axelrod suggested snobbery played a part in Democrats’ failed messaging after President Joe Biden had helped working people.

As more information leakes out and FEC filings are made public, it is being made crystal clear what a sham Harris and her campaign was. Somehow they managed to spend at least $1.3 BILLION of money while Trump’s campaign spent only about $350 Million.
We now know Harris paid Opra Winfrey $1.0 Million for the so-called “town hall” production by Winfrey.
Most Americans smelled the fraud, and responded as Roy outlined above. Those that voted for Harris should be outraged at the fraud and deceipt by Harris and the media, including WIZM.
