Wisconsin GOP Files FEC Complaint Against Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC

The Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint on Sept. 30 against the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC with the Federal Elections Commission for a myriad of alleged reporting failures. According to a release, the Minocqua Brewing Company purports to send 5 percent of their profits to their PAC, however, they allegedly failed to report any such transfer or to disclose these donors in campaign finance reports. In addition, the complaint alleges the Super PAC failed to include required disclaimer notices on solicitations for donations, failed to file required reports for an independent expenditure, and unlawfully used corporate funds to provide direct support to federal candidates. The Republican Party of Wisconsin released the following statement from Executive Director Mark Jefferson: “It appears that Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC has repeatedly failed to play by the rules. Though their spending hasn’t yielded any significant results, ineffectiveness does not excuse illegal activity and the FEC needs to take action.” The Minocqua Brewing Company is raising money to pay for a class-action lawsuit “against every school board in Wisconsin that isn’t mandating masks for kids too young to get the vaccine” and “not following CDC guidelines.” That’s even though zero children ages 19 and under have died of COVID in Wisconsin – zero. Kirk Bangstad, owner of the Minocqua Brewing Company and Super PAC and a failed Democratic candidate for state Assembly, announced the move in an incendiary Facebook post on Sept. 26, 2021. He claimed in the post that the effort has already raised $250,000 and found people willing to be plaintiffs.

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...

Eric Hovde Bio: Senate Candidate Has Deep Roots in Wisconsin, 'Is 3rd Generation Wisconsinite'

Image
"I am a third-generation Wisconsinite," businessman Eric Hovde, who is running for U.S. Senate, says. The grainy photo shows a young Eric Hovde standing with his father in front of the family's Maple Bluff, Wisconsin, home. The photo illustrates the U.S. Senate candidate's deep Wisconsin roots, which go back three generations, to the 1800s. Hovde, a conservative, announced his candidacy on Feb. 20 under the slogan, "Restore the American dream." Hovde's opponents - and Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin - have tried to smear Hovde as a "California banker." To help educate Wisconsin voters on their choices, Wisconsin Right Now took a deep dive into Hovde's background to sort out fact from fiction. What we found is an entrepreneur with long-standing Wisconsin ties - a Wisconsin boy who left the state after college to try his hand at business but returned because he wanted his daughter to learn Wisconsin values and go to high scho...

Wisconsin Lawmakers Look to Make AI-generated Child Porn Illegal

Image
As the technology behind porn changes, so do Wisconsin’s laws. That's the explanation behind the new legislation that would make artificial intelligence-generated child pornography a crime. The Senate Committee on Judiciary held a hearing on Senate Bill 314, which would treat sexually explicit, computer-generated pictures or videos of children and underage teenagers exactly the same as traditional child porn. “The creation and possession of AI-generated child sex images is not currently a crime in our state. We have no accountability for those who engage in pedophilic desires and fantasies with computer-generated content,” Sen. Jesse James, R-Altoona, told lawmakers. The new legislation came from The Speaker’s AI Task Force, and James said by working with the state’s Department of Justice. Rep. Calvin Callahan, R-Tomahawk, said that even though AI child porn is created by computer software, there are real victims somewhere. “You could be saying to yourself ‘Well if it...
