I got dragged back in, the original promoter and founder of ZW has taken the festival back over. Sorry, no parade this year, but we plan for a big one next year for the 20th anniversary.

This was recorded a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t talk about politics.
Our Constitutionally Inept Govnah got a lesson in the 1st Amendment today
“At this stage, defendants have failed to put on evidence that Hook’s ‘speech had an adverse impact on the efficiency of the [University’s] operations,'” Schreier ruled. “…Defendants have not demonstrated that there was any disruption to on-campus activities, Hook’s teaching lessons, or the University’s operations… Such ‘vague and conclusory’ concerns . . . runs the risk of constitutionalizing aheckler’s veto.”
What baffles me is that I thought conservatives like Larry Buck were Free Speech Advocates, guess not, another conservative value thrown out like the trash, but what do you expect from a party that has a manure spreader as their leader?
Some advice to the professor; your definition of Kirk was woefully incorrect. Nobody uses ‘Nazi’ anymore, the NEW, DEI, WOKE version is White Christian Nationalist. Nevermind, I’m sure DEI programs were canceled on campus so you are required to use the proper definition of Nazi.

Who is all in on City Election?
That’s a great question, we are still slow to have a full docket with NO ONE yet announcing for the SE District (Barranco is NOT running for a 2nd term as he is running for State Auditor instead).
AT-Large; Rich Merkouris will likely run for a 2nd term. No challengers have announced yet.
AT-Large; Cole is NOT running for a 2nd term and is actually unethically chairing a replacement candidate’s campaign, whose name we will not speak. No other challengers have announced.
Central; This is my district and I am excited to say there are a full slate of candidates;
Zak Okuwe (Nurse, Non-Profit founder, immigrant activist)
Thomas Werner
Matt McKinley (landlord)
Sierra Broussard (she may run for at-large)
Bob Trzynka (attorney)
Zach DeBoer (hasn’t announced yet) (artist)
Mayor;
Mike Huether (Maybe)
Marshall ‘Illegally living out of district’ Selberg (Big f’ing Maybe)
Greg Jamison (Maybe)

I think Erickson will make the runoff no matter who runs, BUT, I couldn’t tell you who will be up against her since half of the challengers could do it. Some argue it will be Erickson vs. Smith because it will be the conservative candidate vs. the progressive candidate and they will be the top two vote getters since we are a purple town, or at least 7% of us are 🙁 I’m not buying it because I think Jamison and Batcheller have Smith beat on city government knowledge and there may still be some morons out there that think MMM is still great, so yes, he has a chance of being in the runoff 🙁
