Wisconsin Republican Dan Knodl Announces Run for 24th Assembly District

Wisconsin State Senator Dan Knodl (R-Germantown) has announced plans to run for the State Assembly this fall in the 24th Assembly District. "Knodl won a recent special election in the State Senate and is now paired with Senator Duey Stroebel after new redistricting maps were signed in to law last week," a press release from Knodl says. “It has been my honor to serve in the State Senate, but this decision makes sense given the new district boundaries. The 24th Assembly District is my home. I can continue to represent my hometowns of Menomonee Falls and Germantown without having to engage in a costly primary with Senator Stroebel, who is a very respected, conservative member of the Senate,” said Knodl. Knodl, who was first elected to the Assembly in 2008, "said he is proud of his record and accomplishments, but feels there is still much to be done," according to the release. “I am most proud of the work I did in the past few sessions to completely eliminate the personal property tax. That has been a project of mine for years and I worked diligently each session until it was gone,” said Knodl. "Knodl also cited the $22 billion in taxes cut since he took office, as well as his recent legislation surrounding election integrity efforts and his votes to curtail DEI on our college campuses so merit, not skin color, determines success in our public university system, as things he is most proud of during his legislative career," his release says. It says: "In the Senate, Knodl served as the chairman of the Shared Revenue, Elections, and Consumer Protection Committee and has championed many conservative election reforms. He championed the Zuckerbucks bill to make sure nonprofits like Facebook can’t monetarily influence our elections, as well as a bill that makes sure only citizens are allowed to vote." “When I think about what we need going forward as a state, it’s continuity and stability,” said Knodl, “We need to look forward, not backward. And the constituents of this district need a conservative they can trust with a record of actually getting the job done, not just talking about it; a conservative who is respected by his colleagues. I have those qualities and look forward to sharing my vision with the voters of this district.” Senator Knodl "has been an entrepreneur his whole life, starting his first business at 17. Until recently, Dan owned and operated the Reef Point Resort in Hartford for over 30 years. He has four children and six grandchildren," his release says. The 24th Assembly District includes the communities of Germantown, Menomonee Falls, Lannon, and Butler. The primary election will be held on Aug. 13 and the general on Nov. 5. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/dan-knodl-assembly/?feed_id=11257&_unique_id=65e12070b2e94

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
