What's the matter with Iowa? Kimmi the Clown puts the finishing touch on a bad bill

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 4/19/2024

Reynolds announced the law signing without comment in a Friday afternoon news release. The law's Republican supporters have said allowing school districts to choose whether to allow armed staff on school grounds is a way to give districts more control over safety in the wake of a deadly shooting at Perry High School in January.  [It's called 'newspeak'.]

Democrats and gun violence prevention groups say it will make students and school employees less safe by increasing the likelihood of gun accidents in schools.

Wisconsin 2024 elections: Republican Rob Summerfield announces candidacy for 68th Assembly District

No longer gerrymandered but still red.  

Rob Summerfield (R-Bloomer) currently represents the 67th Assembly District and no longer lives within its new boundaries.

Headline:  WEAU, 4/18/2024

It’s been an honor to serve the people of northwest Wisconsin in the Assembly. The district lines may have changed, but my dedication to constituents and our region remains the same. I worked to ensure our rural communities get the resources they need, reduced the tax burden on families, retirees, and small businesses, expanded broadband, helped fix our road and bridges, and much more. I’ll continue addressing critical issues facing our state while also stopping democrats’ radical agenda.”

The district is currently represented by Karen Hurd (R-Fall Creek), who doesn't live within the new boundaries.

Day 1269 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, MAGA Colorado edition)

 

attack of the clown show zombies

Starring January 6th insurrectionist

Tom Hamner

Headline: NBC News, 4/18/2024

A conference for a far-right sheriffs group this week drew a parade of felons, disgraced politicians, election deniers, conspiracy theorists and, in the end, a few sheriffs. 

[snip] 

The conference opened a little behind schedule; the Pledge of Allegiance was delayed when organizers couldn’t find a flag. After he searched the conference center’s rooms, Tom Hamner, a Colorado man who served over two years in prison for the felony “interfering with law enforcement” on Jan. 6, 2021, came forward with the scarf from his wife’s neck. It wasn’t exactly a flag, but it was emblazoned with stars and stripes.
