Tim Michels and his team made a campaign stop at Clifford’s in Hales Corners and was met by an energized and passionate crowd of several hundred people!

He was introduced by his former primary rival, Kevin Nicholson who recently endorsed Tim and has joined other well-known Republicans who are supporting Michels. That list of supporters includes Scott Walker, Tommy Thompson, Joan Ellis Beglinger, and Timothy Ramthun.

Before introducing Tim, Kevin encouraged voters to support Republicans up and down the ballot to save Wisconsin and the country. It’s good to see that Nicholson is continuing with No Better Friend and with continuing to tell the truth about the dangers of leftist ideology.

Other candidates who spoke were 84th Assembly Candidate ‘Fighting’ Bob Donovan, Attorney General Candidate Eric Toney, and Secretary of State Candidate Amy Loudenbeck.

Here is the video of Tim’s entire speech where you can hear his passion for winning and getting us back on track. The speech is completely unedited and you can plainly see why I said he’s come a long way as a candidate since starting back in May:

I was at the turning point event Governor Ron DeSantis was excellent gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels gave an impassioned speech on education on voter integrity and most important crime prevention it was one for the ages and everyone should’ve been there

I will speak a difficult Truth, Rebecca Kleefisch is A RINO for supporting Tony Evers. you don’t have to agree with me but I am completely 100% correct, Rebecca Kleefisch is a RINO If she is not actively supporting Tim Michels.


I don’t want to hear your flawed logic I don’t want to hear your nonsensical debate if Rebecca Kleefisch who is one of the most famous politicians in Wisconsin doesn’t come out to support her fellow conservative she is trash she is a RINO, she is an all-around fake ass politician.


So all of you stupid people that will say she doesn’t have to help Tim it’s OK for her to be mad at him because of how the election went. But if you don’t help the conservative then you’re helping the socialist and I think that’s far worse then anything that myself or the Tim Michels team ever said or did.

Truth.

Why would a Christian person attack someone taking the high road when they could just show that they are better and that they have better ideas.

And most grassroots conservative and republican media outlets were complicit.

1. People for Rebecca accepted a $20K donation from MMAC.
2. The MMAC is lobbying to increase the Sales Tax in Southeast Wisconsin.

Voters need to know if she would sign this legislation.


FACT: @ryanowenswi a UW-Madison Professor who abruptly dropped out of the AG race after it was discovered that he was critical of Conservatives on several podcast appearances donated $14,500 to @RebeccaforReal.

Paris Procopis:It seems like the most popular word of the month is ‘Vetting’. Yes, it is indeed important to vet ALL candidates for governor and ask them all tough questions. After all it’s important to see how they respond and to make sure they are really up to the task of standing up to the certain onslaught the Democrats will unleash against the primary winner, and it will be unrelenting.

Unfortunately, one candidate and seems to feel they are above being vetted and asked tough questions. Well, feeling entitled, does not mean you get your way. Since Rebecca Kleefisch feels that she wants to run on the Walker record, then she must own it, ALL OF IT. I think it is time to do some ‘vetting’ and talk about some harsh truths regarding the Walker/Kleefisch record on education.

Education has increasingly become one of the top hot button issues across the country. Wisconsin is no different. Especially over the course of the past year or two, we have seen example after example of ordinary parents on the front lines fighting for their children. Their chief opponent? Left-wing indoctrination programs like Critical Race Theory (CRT) that have all but taken over our public-school systems.

How did this happen? How did CRT so easily gain such an intractable foothold in our public schools in Wisconsin? To show how we got to this place, a close examination of Act 10 might just shed some light.

Act 10 was the crown jewel of the Walker/Kleefisch administration. Act 10 sparked a national debate. Footage of waves of Madison protesters were beamed night after night across TV screens throughout the country. Act 10 spawned a massive and costly statewide 2012 recall which served only to further propel Governor Scott Walker onto the national stage. Fast forward to 2022… now, with Walker’s unfettered and unflailing endorsement, Rebecca Kleefisch hopes to ride those coattails right into the governor’s mansion.

So, what was the primary goal of Act 10 anyway?

We were told the objective was to save taxpayers money. Assurances were made. Collective bargaining would be limited. Teachers would be required to pay a small and reasonable portion of their healthcare and retirement cost just like most other employees in the private sector. The trade-off? Walker/Kleefisch would be able to significantly cut K-12 education spending in their first budget to help offset and overcome a $3.2 billion dollar deficit left behind by the Doyle administration. No other significant educational reforms were included in Act 10.

Kleefisch and Walker stood firm on Act 10. For their perseverance, credit is surely due. Who can forget the Act 10 battle of 2011-2012? Who can forget what the Teachers Union put the state through during their epic “temper tantrum”, dare I say, “insurrection”?

Over the years, Act 10 did exactly what it was designed to do. It limited the teacher union stranglehold on schools and was able to save taxpayers billions of dollars.

Let’s take a closer look at the record.

The conservative education spending cuts of 2011 actually gave way to continuous increases in public school spending. Might seem strange, but Republican majorities ruled both houses in the state legislature. Actually, the Walker/Kleefisch administration, in step with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, substantially increased school spending in EVERY budget year that followed. By 2016, education spending was significantly higher than before the Walker/Kleefisch administration took office, and those numbers just continued to rise. This is not hyperbole. Look at the DPI numbers and Walker Budget Numbers on school spending.

2011$6,234,200,300.00 (Walker inherited this)
2012$5,802,070,600.00
2013$5,873,000,600.00
2014$5,947,372,600.00
2015$6,086,875,000.00
2016$6,258,778,300.00
2017$6,458,849,200.00
2018$6,731,701,400.00
With the extra half billion dollars in spending by 2018, what did taxpayers receive in return? Higher student performance? No. Universal school choice for more parents to choose the best school for their kids? No. Closing the achievement gap for minority students? No. Funding equity for charter and choice students? No.

Then, what was the trade-off for all of the extra spending on education in Wisconsin? It appears that the major result was that taxpayers simply spent more on public schools under Walker/Kleefisch with no strings attached.

Kleefisch resorts to attack ads using quotes from Jessica McBride, who's been in the tank for her from the start, running the attacks Kleefisch gives her.
I ask Rebecca to defend it & McBride is now trashing me. She's the one pretending to be a journalist/is hiding her biases.

I give my analysis of journalist Paris PROCOPIS’ article on Rebecca Kleefish trading in her principles to receive campaign cash. Enjoy the article:

As Ronald Reagan was famous for saying, ‘There you go again.’

Rebecca Kleefisch is changing her tune again and I am beyond confused as to which Rebecca will actually govern if she were to prevail. Many of you know I have been a vocal and unapologetic supporter for Kleefisch over the years. This has left people puzzled as to why that support has wained over the recent months.

And I am not the only one.

It’s clear that many are bothered with this constant ‘redefining of Becky’, the doublespeak from her campaign, and the mantra that it’s her turn and you best support her or you are no better than Joe Biden. This ‘inevitability’ strategy has especially changed her campaign beyond recognition.

We saw this with her convention speech. She was literally the ONLY candidate who needed to have a ‘production’ by having her entourage on stage before she came out. Then, to make things worse, she had to get ‘validation’ from Scott Walker before she spoke? Way to set the women’s movement back a few years.

Of course, Walker had every right to speak and should have, but it was strange he did not speak during the Ron Johnson timeframe as our former Governor. It’s not like his endorsement was a surprise to convention attendees and he took away about five minutes of her allotted time.

This was puzzling because she is more than capable of holding her own without needing her entourage or Scott Walker to validate her. Remember? This is the same candidate who took on the ‘establishment’ chosen one in 2010 and WON! Without the theatrics.

But I digress.

Several days ago I wrote an Op-Ed calling attention to the blatant political doublespeak in Rebecca Kleefisch’s article where she condemned Madison Snakes and Weasels, lobbyists, etc. Well, except for the growing list of Madison Snakes and Weasels, lobbyists, who support her campaign.

Like Queen Gertrude said in William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks.’

Apparently she likes Snakes and Weasels in the ‘swamp’ more than she says. Right now Kleefisch is busy putting on her deep swamp waders as she prepares to travel away from the Madison swamp she pretends to hate, so she can dip her toes in the deepest swamp of all, Washington DC.

Traveling to DC, in and of itself, is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is when you openly and conveniently condemn the actions of Swamp Creatures in an effort to gain political points. Then, in the next breath you lay down your ‘principles’ and join the swamp creatures who support you in order to get campaign cash.

Yes, I said lay down ‘principles.’

Back on May 16th news came out that the UW Madison Board of Regents voted to hire Jennifer Mnookin, a WOKE, social justice, CRT peddling Liberal who makes Nancy Pelosi look Conservative. Wisconsin Conservatives, immediately and unanimously condemned the hiring. Mnookin personifies everything we are fighting against.

Kleefisch was quick to jump on that bandwagon and she immediately Tweeted out, ‘The Board of Regents’ decision to hire a woke radical like Dr. Mnookin is infuriating. Our universities need to focus on building a strong economy and workforce — not force-feeding liberal ideology to Wisconsin students.’

Wisconsin’s former lieutenant governor was hoping a party endorsement would give her an edge over wealthy opponents

At the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s annual convention, held in Middleton over the weekend, five GOP candidates for governor each received 12 minutes to make their case to delegates on why they deserved the party’s endorsement ahead of the Aug. 9 primary. Rebecca Kleefisch, widely considered the front-runner in the race, elected to have her former running mate use most of her allotted time.
“Beating Tony Evers is not going to be easy. Hard to imagine, because Tony Evers is an incompetent incumbent. He's a radical, he's not up for the job,” said former Gov. Scott Walker on May 21 in the Marriott convention hall, priming the crowd for Kleefisch to speak. “Money alone isn't going to win this election. We've got to have the right message and the right candidate…. Rebecca Kleefisch is the right candidate to defeat Tony Evers this fall.”
The big question at this year’s gathering of Wisconsin Republicans was whether Kleefisch could convince around 1,500 delegates from across the state to unite behind her candidacy for governor. According to party rules if a candidate receives at least 60 percent support from delegates at the state convention, that candidate can start tapping into the party’s resources and campaign infrastructure even if other Republicans are competing for the nomination. After three long hours and two ballots, the party opted not to endorse any Republican candidate for governor.
But Kleefisch tried her best to nab her party’s endorsement and she came damn close. The former lieutenant governor won support from a majority of delegates (54.5 percent) but failed to reach the 60 percent threshold. Several party insiders, who asked for anonymity, told Isthmus that Kleefisch was the only candidate even trying to win the endorsement. She went all out the first night of the convention when gubernatorial candidates pressed the flesh in private hospitality rooms. Kleefisch’s suite had a retro arcade theme featuring pinball, vintage coin-op games and a claw machine (plus free beer). It was reported to be packed most of the night. In addition to Walker whipping votes as a surrogate, Kleefisch’s 16-year-old daughter, Violet, spent an admirably long stint on Saturday talking to delegates one-on-one at her mother’s booth outside the convention floor.
“I like helping my mom because her intentions are always good,” this reporter heard Violet tell one delighted delegate, with all the finesse of a seasoned politician. “I hope she can count on your support.”
The other Republicans in the race include Tim Michels and Kevin Nicholson, who are both wealthy businessmen, veterans, and unsuccessful candidates for U.S. Senate. Also running is state Rep. Timothy Ramthun (R-Campbellsport) who is so convinced the 2020 presidential election was stolen in Wisconsin he keeps insisting Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) was in on the plot. His hospitality suite Friday night was also reportedly well attended because celebrity election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell — the My Pillow Guy — made an appearance. Then there’s Adam Fischer, a longshot candidate who describes himself as “one pissed-off American.” All four candidates lobbied delegates to vote “no endorsement,” a move intended to keep Kleefisch from receiving the party’s seal of approval and its resources — which some at the convention feared would be used to attack other Republicans in the primary race.

One veteran GOP campaign staffer at the convention, who asked not to be quoted by name, told Isthmus that Kleefisch needed the party’s endorsement because she’s worried about construction magnate Michels, who just entered the race in April.
“Rebecca is the frontrunner for sure. But what if Michels decided to go negative?” said the source. “He hasn’t yet. But that might be a real problem.”
Several people at the convention told Isthmus that Michels has been spending 1 million dollars a week (mostly for TV ads) on his campaign. Michels campaign did not immediately respond to an email asking to confirm the charge, and that figure seems high. Even so, Michels told delegates at the convention he’s willing to self-finance his campaign, which likely means spending millions of his own fortune. He vows not to accept any donations from lobbyists or political action committees, or individual donations above $500.
Nicholson, who entered the race in January, will likely have access to some deep pockets, too. He has the backing of GOP mega donor Dick Uihlein, founder of Wisconsin-based business supply company Uline. Uihlein-supported super PACs spent nearly $11 million on Nicholson’s failed primary campaign for U.S. Senate in 2018, which he lost to then-state Sen. Leah Vukmir (who lost to U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin in the general election).
Ramthun is remarkably soft-spoken given his reputation as a bomb thrower who calls out fellow Republicans. He thinks it’s wrong for the Republican Party of Wisconsin to endorse a gubernatorial candidate ahead of a competitive primary and calls it “disenfranchisement.”
“The no endorsement is a message to party leaders that we’re tired of being told to be rubber stamps and have the nominee dictated to us,” Ramthun told Isthmus. “The endorsement comes with funding help from the party, a lot of press, and other stuff that help separate a candidate from the pack. It pretty much puts [other GOP candidates] in a bad place…. I’m glad we stopped it.”
Ramthun isn’t worried about Michels or his money.
“He’s been living in Connecticut for 13 years and hasn’t been around,” said Ramthun, referring to an expose by conservative news outlet Wisconsin Right Now, the details of which Michels largely confirmed with conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell (although Michels insists he’s been living in Wisconsin enough to legally be considered a resident).
“Michels is doing okay in the polls because he’s spending a lot of money on TV. But we still have 30 percent of voters undecided in the Republican Party primary,” said Ramthun. “I have some pending endorsements coming and while Michels’ support will wane, mine is going to steadily grow.”
Former Madison school board candidate David Blaska, a lifelong Republican who attended this year’s convention, confirms that Kleefisch fought hard for the GOP endorsement likely because she’s concerned about Michels.

Marquette poll shows Rebecca Kleefisch and Mandela Barnes leading key primary contests. It's early and most voters aren't paying attention yet.

But if you're into the horse race for Wisconsin's key primaries, then the first Marquette University Law School Poll provides some indicators.

So ... as expected, former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes,who are the best-known candidates, lead in their respective primaries, according to poll results announced Wednesday.

In the Republican race for governor, Kleefisch is the choice of 30% of those surveyed, while Waukesha County businessman Kevin Nicholson is at 8% and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun is at 5%.


The more significant figure is that 54% don't know enough about the candidates to have an opinion.

These Republicans are so soft if we were in prison I’d have these bitches standing up over the toilet singing love songs. I told Rebecca Kleefish’s to stop fucking ignoring me so now I’m really gonna fucking go in.
