Parking lot etiquette.  (The Parking Spot, 8/8/2022)
There’s more to driving and parking than simply following the rules from the aging drivers’ ed manual you studied before you got your license. Though it is the responsibility of both motorists and pedestrians to drive defensively to avoid the occasional parking lot mishap, the system works best when all of us are courteous and attentive. Whether you’re going to the supermarket or dropping off your car near the airport before a vacation, here are 18 unspoken guidelines to follow in parking lots...for everyone’s sake.

Four New York Times reporters promote "family man" defense for Donald Trump in hush-money trial

 
Headline and photos:  New York Times, 5/3/2024
And at times, she seemed to aid the defense. When a prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, asked about Mr. Trump’s reaction to the initial The Wall Street Journal article, she said that he was “concerned about how it would be viewed by his wife.” That response recalled the defense’s opening statement, in which Mr. Trump was portrayed as a family man — and helped provide an alternative motive for efforts to cover up damaging information to which prosecutors have already linked him.

People!

He fucked a porn star.

He bought her silence for $130,000.

He has routinely denied, denied, denied that he ever fucked her.

He fucked a Playboy model.

He bought her silence for $150,000.

He has routinely denied, denied, denied that he ever fucked her.

Some family man!

What's the matter with The New York Times?

Wisconsin 2024 elections: Republican Jim Piwowarczyk announces candidacy for 98th Assembly District


Republican Jim Piwowarczyk is making his first run for a seat in the State Assembly.  Most notably, he is a co-founder of the ultra-right conservative news site Wisconsin Right Now.  If elected, he will most certainly spend all of his time grinding axes.

According to WisPolitics, the district is 71.1% Republican.

The current GOP gerrymandered 98th is currently represented by Adam Neylon (R-Pewaukee).  He has yet to announce but is likely to run for re-election in the 15th District

Maps:  Wikipedia
Headline:  WisPolitics, 5/3/2024
Washington County District Attorney Mark Bensen has endorsed former law enforcement officer Jim Piwowarczyk for Wisconsin state Assembly, raising Piwowarczyk’s background in law enforcement and “commitment to the area and to the community.” 
Bensen, a Republican, joins a chorus of other top Washington County officials who have endorsed Piwowarczyk’s campaign for the open seat in the 98th Assembly District. The new 98th Assembly District encompasses parts of Waukesha and Washington Counties.

Mike KKKollins, your dry cleaning order is ready

 
Headline:  Raw Story, 5/3/23024
As local news station WTVA reports, the pro-Palestinian demonstrators on campus were vastly outnumbered by counter-demonstrators, such as the ones shown in the video promoted by Collins. 
According to WTVA, the protesters were eventually "escorted out to a bus and taken off campus," as counter-demonstrators threw "food and water bottles" at them. 
The video posted by Collins shows a Black demonstrator walking towards a group of male students who were shouting at her. One student then began hopping up and down and making monkey noises while other students looked on.

Collins voices his approval of the counter-demonstrators actions.
"Ole Miss taking care of business."

Day 1283 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, MAGA Arizona ground zero edition)

 
attack of the clown show zombies
Starring president of AZ Free Enterprise Club
Scott Mussi
Headline: Democracy Docket 5/2/2024
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club was founded in 2005 with a mission to “educate the public about, and to advance policies that promote economic growth, limited government, fiscal restraint, and lower taxes,” according to its founding year tax filing. The group’s first president was Steve Voeller, a veteran congressional staffer who worked for Sen. Jon Kyl (R) and then-Reps. Matt Salmon (R) and Jeff Flake (R) — all of whom represented Arizona in Congress. 
In 2012, Voeller left the group to work as Flake’s chief of staff after Flake was elected to the U.S. Senate. At AFEC, Voeller was replaced by Scot Mussi, a longtime conservative advocate in Arizona who also serves on the board of the Arizona Freedom Foundation, a right-wing media organization, and the AZ Liberty Network, a conservative civic engagement group. 
The AFEC, under Mussi’s leadership, first made a splash in Arizona as a major donor to a number of GOP campaigns in the 2014 election. “Seemingly overnight, the Arizona Free Enterprise Club has morphed from a low-profile, low-tax advocacy group into the biggest-spending organization of this year’s election season,” according to a 2014 AZ Central article, which detailed how the group spent $1.1 million in the months before the midterm election to support a wide range of local right-wing candidates.
