Heartland Post Editor-in-Chief @DanODonnellShow urges skepticism about a report that Democrat David Crowley was offered $250,000 to drop out of the gubernatorial primary but exposes the well-documented bribery and extortion that Democrats used to get both he and his running mate nominated. https://t.co/KVs5HLrbWT
There are a ton of Italians in Kenosha and they vote. They're fired up watching what's happening in the homeland, and after witnessing Kenosha in 2020, they won't be staying home on Tuesday. They cannot stand this behavior and only one party supports it. We all know which one.
ITALY DRAWS A LINE: While France faces continuing unrest, “The Right Squad” points to Italy’s tougher response: soldiers in Milan, stronger penalties for violent protests and consequences for blocking major roads.
I don't care Obama has a library in Chicago. He should have one in the city, makes sense. Even as a real environmentalist (not an artificial green energy eco-fascist/climate alarmist/ solar farm windmill worshiper), the original dispute with its location and the Protect our Parks group that sued trying to block construction doesn't bother me either. Normally taking over a park like this would upset me, but in this case, Chicago does not dissuade its homeless drug addicts and violent gangs from setting up shop anywhere they please, so the library will mean one fewer option for a crime ridden homeless encampment in the area. Of course I expected it to go over budget in the millions. It's Chicago. Did you honestly believe it would be on time and under budget? (Laughing). HOWEVER, I am shocked the project managers and the city allowed this monstrosity to be constructed in the most iconic and beautiful skyline in the world (my opinion). Assuming the city had to review the blueprints? Who's in charge of that process? Chicago is the modern architecture capital of the world. This city descends from the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Henry Sullivan. How could the people behind this project, hand-picked by Obama and his Foundation to build his presidential library, construct something so far removed from the skyline? This is not about Obama's presidency, obviously not a fan, but isn't he offended by this? He's from Chicago. He knows by looking at this thing it doesn't fit. It's the fugliest looking building in the city (not including the dilapidated abandoned properties, they still take first place). But for how much money it took to build, I would be furious if I were Obama. I would also be offended by the number of contractors that haven't been paid, including some who had to shutter their doors because they were required to personally invest so much time, money and human capital into the project. The Obama Foundation should take the financial hit to fix the exterior curtain wall/ facade. The interior whatever, I don't care. The exterior looks like a communist prison. It just hit me as I'm typing this..maybe that was the intention. It does fit after all..
Reminder, if you see one deer, there's likely more behind it. Avoid swerving out of your lane. Breaking is always your best option, but swerving is often the deadliest.
Heads Up Wisconsin: At Wednesday night’s gubernatorial debate, David Crowley reiterated that he will not expand Wisconsin’s school voucher program if elected governor.
Crowley may say he wouldn’t “abruptly end” school choice, but parents should pay very close attention to those words. Make no mistake, refusing to expand school choice will be the beginning of squeezing it out.
Crowley defiantly stated, “We cannot expand the voucher program in the state of Wisconsin.”
Wisconsin does not need a governor politicizing educational freedom. We need a governor willing to expand opportunities for families, particularly those whose children are struggling academically. This issue is especially important in Milwaukee where 73% of fourth-grade students lack basic reading skills.
School Choice impacts over 30,000 Choice families, nearly half of them Black.
For families who believe their neighborhood school is failing their child, School Choice provides another option. Those parents shouldn’t be told that educational opportunities must be frozen while politicians continue promising that simply pouring more money into the existing system will eventually produce better results.

Wisconsin voters are concerned about election integrity. We had a big win over the summer during the primary-- A Dane county judge had thrown out Democrats' lawsuit seeking to let voters take back mail-in ballots they'd already returned and vote again.
The RNC fought it twice and won both times. The court refused to change the rules in July, and a Dane County judge tossed the case entirely.
The case was Bins et al. v. Wisconsin Elections Commission. WEC issued July 9, 2026 guidance stating that a returned absentee ballot cannot be tossed and reissued for any reason (including a change of mind or a candidate dropping out).
Three Dane County voters sued, backed by the state Democratic Party. They sought a temporary injunction so people who had voted for Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez (or others who exited) could get a replacement ballot. Rodriguez dropped out on July 17 after campaign-finance reporting problems. When David Crowley also entered, exited, and re-entered the Democratic gubernatorial primary, and more than 117,000 absentee ballots had already been returned by late July.
Once you return your ballot, it's final. You do not get a redo under any circumstances. The federal government will have election observers and attorneys across the country to ensure the midterms are safe and secure. Before you scream about Trump-- they were doing the exact same thing during the Bush and Obama administrations.
FROM KENOSHA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY XAVIER SOLIS
ILLINOIS MAN ANTONIO D. SUMMERS CONVICTED OF MURDER
Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis announced that a jury found Antonio D. Summers of Waukegan, Illinois, guilty on five felony counts following a jury trial lasting approximately a week and a half. Assistant District Attorney Morgan Millar prosecuted the case.
The jury returned guilty verdicts for first-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, as a repeater; attempted armed robbery, as a repeater; possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, as a repeater; and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon, as a repeater.
The case arose from the fatal shooting of Kenosha resident Deshun Jackson on April 23, 2023. According to the criminal complaint, Summers pulled a firearm during a poker game at an apartment in the City of Kenosha and demanded Jackson’s money. Summers then shot Jackson multiple times and fled. Responding officers found Jackson suffering from gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
“This case is another example of an Illinois resident coming into Kenosha County and committing a devastating act of violence. Summers killed a Kenosha resident and endangered others. Our community should never have to bear the consequences of someone crossing the state line to commit violent crimes,” said District Attorney Solis.
“Anyone considering coming into Kenosha County to commit a violent crime should understand this: we will work with law enforcement to identify you, prosecute you, and seek a sentence that reflects the harm you caused and protects our community.”
Summers is scheduled to appear before Judge Rossell for sentencing on December 16, 2026, at 3 p.m. His conviction for first-degree intentional homicide carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment.
“ADA Morgan Millar is a talented and dedicated prosecutor who worked tirelessly to prepare this case. She made sure she had the evidence, witnesses, and resources needed to present it effectively. Her preparation, attention to detail, and passion for seeking justice were evident throughout this trial. I am proud of her hard work and commitment to the victim, the victim’s family, and our community.”
“These verdicts cannot undo the loss suffered by Mr. Jackson’s family, but they hold Summers accountable for his actions.”
🚨 BOOM: A University of Chicago student just filed a Senate ETHICS COMPLAINT against Sen. Elissa Slotkin.
Here's what she told a room full of students:
"I want young people coming out of school to say, 'Should I go work for the Trump administration?' I want them to be like, 'Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want.'"
Then she said, "I want that deterrence message sent."
That isn't about stopping crime. It's about scaring kids out of serving their country.
Michael Bicksel was in the room, reported it, and is now holding her accountable.
Flip the parties and Chuck Schumer would be screaming on the Senate floor.
Investigate her.
