We Asked a Wisconsin U.S. Rep., 'What Is Donald Trump Really Like?' The Answer Will Make You Tear Up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g0YE9DQNL8 "What is Donald Trump really like?" we asked Wisconsin Congressman Derrick Van Orden, a Republican and former Navy SEAL. "Do you want to know?" he asked. "Yeah." We were just curious. The answer was something all Americans should see, and so we share it here. Be prepared to tear up - because he did. And we did too. The video is above. The transcript it below." Van Orden: "Our daughter died of cancer this summer (she was Sydney Marie (Van Orden) Martenis, his eldest daughter). So I finished running for Congress with a gravely ill daughter. And then she died right after I took office. She was in the process of dying. My first year in Congress is terrible. It was the worst thing ever. The morning after my daughter's funeral, I was sitting in my widower son's basement and my phone rang, and it was from Florida. And I don't have a lot of friends in Florida. Like who is calling me from Florida. I answered it and it was Donald Trump. And, um, I put it on speaker so my wife could hear. I walked upstairs and Peggy, my cousin who helped raise me after our father abandoned us when I was an infant. And he offered his condolences and said, 'I'm praying for you. How is Chris doing?' That's my daughter's widower. I didn't know he knew Chris's name. 'And I want you to know we care about you and your grandkids.' That's Donald Trump. No one's going to tell you that. And I talk to people; he's done that hundreds and thousands of times. And that phone call was not political. He knew I'd back him. That phone call was from one grieving, from one father to a grieving father, and from one grandfather to a grieving grandfather. That's the Donald Trump no one's going to tell you about. They're just not going to say it. They refuse to believe that he's a human being, and that he's caring, and that he loves our country. That's Donald Trump. And the other side of that, Jessica, he's also the guy when Vladimir Putin said, 'I'm going to invade Ukraine.' You know what Donald Trump told Vladimir Putin? 'You invade Ukraine, I'm going to bomb the Kremlin.' Those two things can exist in the same universe. Guess what? Vladimir Putin didn't invade Ukraine under Trump. So you can be a loving, caring human being, which Donald Trump is, and you can also tell people right to their face, 'I will destroy you. I will destroy you if you harm an American.' They're completely compatible because they're all based in love. And I know that sounds weird, but it's true." https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/we-asked-a-wisconsin-u-s-rep-what-is-donald-trump-really-like-the-answer-will-make-you-tear-up/?feed_id=14461&_unique_id=661f2e28f11d0

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
