Rep. David Bowen Considered for Milwaukee County Sheriff Chief of Staff Position

WRN strongly urges Sheriff Ball to reconsider this move. Bowen will be a disaster as this position will require trust and confidentiality with other law enforcement agencies and the Milwaukee County DAs office. Will Rep. David Bowen be the next Chief of Staff for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department? Well-placed sources have confirmed to WRN that Wisconsin state Rep. David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) is being considered by Milwaukee County Sheriff Denita Ball to be her Chief of Staff. We are also hearing that some have expressed concern about the possibility behind the scenes, meaning Ball might reconsider. We hope she does. Bowen, as you'll recall, was present at the scene of the attack on former Wauwatosa police officer Joseph Mensah and his police officer girlfriend in 2020, which resulted in gunshots being fired and a felony arrest made of another man. Bowen refused to talk to police about what happened and later lied about the event in a press release. WRN wrote a 7-part series detailing his actions in "State Rep. David Bowen: The Making of a Lie" Bowen was never charged for his involvement in the incident, and he did not face any discipline in the legislature even after Wauwatosa police chief Barry Weber asked the Legislature to act. In a statement to the Legislature, Weber said, “I find the conduct of Mr. Bowen to be appalling and disgusting. He has made a mockery of our system of law and order in Wisconsin, and has brought disgrace to the office in which he serves” Ted Chisholm, the son of Milwaukee county DA John Chisholm, was former Sheriff Earnell Lucus's chief of staff. He resigned in March. Gov. Tony Evers appointed Ball as the new Milwaukee County Sheriff in October after former Sheriff Earnell Lucas suddenly resigned. We reached out for comment from the sheriff and will update the story if she responds.

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
