Waukesha County Prosecutor Zach Wittchow Enters Race to Succeed Judge Brad Schimel

Judge Brad Schimel and Waukesha DA Sue Opper have endorsed prosecutor Zach Wittchow. Waukesha County Assistant District Attorney Zach Wittchow, who was one of the prosecutors in the Waukesha Christmas parade case, announced his candidacy for Waukesha County Circuit Court, Branch 6, which is the seat being vacated by Judge Brad Schimel, who is running for state Supreme Court and who has endorsed Wittchow as his successor on the bench. Waukesha County DA Sue Opper, Wittchow's current boss, also endorsed him. "Having worked side-by-side with law enforcement officials throughout his career, Zach has a proven track record in public safety and a reputation for getting justice for crime victims," a press release from Wittchow's campaign says. "With over a decade of experience as a prosecutor, Zach has litigated complex constitutional issues and has tried more than 50 cases to juries. He has worked tirelessly to secure convictions against hundreds of drug dealers, reckless drivers, and violent criminals." "In short," the release says, "Zach has both the necessary experience and the right priorities to serve as a law-and-order judge for the citizens of Waukesha County. Zach’s reputation for decency and legal expertise are a large part of why he is endorsed by former Wisconsin Attorney General and current candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court, Judge Brad Schimel." Schimel, the former state Attorney General and Waukesha County District Attorney, was appointed to the bench in 2019. “The citizens of Waukesha County deserve to have judges that follow the law as it is written and hold criminals accountable. That’s why I am proud to endorse Zach to succeed me in Branch 6 of the Waukesha County Circuit Court," Schimel said. "Zach’s trial skills, legal acumen, and integrity would make him a strong addition to the Waukesha County bench." [caption id="attachment_206536" align="alignnone" width="1024"]zach wittchow Zach Wittchow (r) with Brad Schimel[/caption] Schimel added: "Zach has tried several cases in my court, and as a result I’ve seen him demonstrate a rare commitment to justice. I also know Zach outside the courthouse, and I know him to be a family man, a leader in the community, and the type of strong conservative that Waukesha County deserves. The citizens of our county can be assured that Zach will faithfully follow the Constitution as a judge.” Wittchow was one of the three prosecutors assigned to the Waukesha Christmas Parade case. The others were DA Sue Opper and Lesli Boese, who is running for Waukesha County District Attorney to replace Opper, who is retiring. Opper is also endorsing Wittchow. "One of three prosecutors on the Waukesha Christmas Parade case, Zach worked hand in hand with victims and members of the Waukesha Strong community to secure justice for all who were terrorized by the attacker’s terrible conduct that day. Zach’s significant contribution to that case is a substantial factor in Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper’s decision to endorse him," the release says. “Zach has been an integral member of our office and I have seen firsthand his outstanding work ethic, as well as his devotion to crime victims. The whole community witnessed his character and poise during the Christmas parade trial in dealing with a chaotic courtroom environment and the emotional nature of the case. I am confident that as a judge, Zach will continue to be a strong supporter of crime victims’ Constitutional rights," said Opper, in the release. Zach Wittchow "grew up in Rosendale, Wisconsin, and graduated cum laude from Marquette Law School with a certificate in litigation and special honors for pro bono service. He and his wife Ali have lived in Waukesha County for over a decade; they have three daughters and a dog named Huckleberry. Outside of the courthouse Zach is active in church leadership at Ascension Lutheran Church in Waukesha and regularly volunteers with the Sheriff’s Department Citizens’ Academy, several local DARE programs, and Waukesha Noon Kiwanis. He is also an active member of the Waukesha County Bar Association, as well as the Milwaukee Chapter of the Federalist Society," the release says.

We Drove the New Insane Milwaukee 'Advisory Bike Lane' & Barely Survived!

Image
We drove the insane new "advisory bike lane" road on Edgewood Drive, which spans the border of Shorewood and Milwaukee, so you don't have to. According to the Village of Shorewood, it's "a lane configuration new to the Milwaukee area." It was basically a game of frogger, as cars had to pull over so others could pass incoming traffic. It appears to be an effort to provide "preferential" space to bicycles instead of cars. And it's a recipe for disaster. The Milwaukee media are dubbing the plan "bicycle friendly streets." But are they? Judge for yourself: https://twitter.com/wisconsin_now/status/1725693118572269985 A graphic on the Village of Shorewood’s website explains that the “advisory bike lane” approach, which runs from Oakland Avenue to Lake Drive on Edgewood Avenue, forces motorists to “share [the] center lane.” The City of Milwaukee has created an entire website about the concept. Explained the city's website,

Image
Portions of the Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale manifesto were leaked Monday after months of debate regarding its release.

"Wanna kill all you little crackers" "Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privlages fuck you fAggots"  "I Hope I have a high death count."

U.S. National Debt Surpasses $100K Per Person

Image
The rapidly growing debt of the U.S. federal government has hit another milestone, topping more than $100,000 in debt per person. While the U.S. population and the U.S. national debt are large numbers that are difficult to calculate, the rough debt estimate and rough population estimate end up at about $100,000 of federal debt per person in the U.S. The U.S. Census population clock estimates the U.S. population at nearly 336 million. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department estimates the national debt is nearly $34 trillion. “The national debt just exceeded $100,000 per citizen,” Rep. John James, R-Mich., wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This should send a message to the White House that this reckless federal spending is at a breaking point.” The U.S. Treasury confirmed in the middle of last month that in the first month of this fiscal year, the federal government had a deficit of $67 billion. Concern about rising debt has grown along with the debt and recent internat
