Husband. Father. Grandfather. Founder & President of the Janesville Jets NAHL club. Chairman, North American Hockey League. Strategy. Michael Best Strategies.
When you make mistakes you either make changes or make excuses. I chose to change. Tomorrow will be 13 years sober for me. I’ve been humbled by the bipartisan support I have received today. Especially from those who have had setbacks or challenges in their lives.
Impressive performance by
@RonDeSantisFL
at the Marathon County GOP in the heart of Trump country. There were far more hardcore Trump supporters in the room than outside “protesting.” All left with an open mind and none will stay home if DeSantis is the nominee.
Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about. Someone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families has no business being commander in chief.
Incredibly humbled by this honor. Every NAHL owner and the NAHL staff worked extremely hard to keep teams on the ice this season. We all knew we were taking a risk. But each owner was willing to accept the risk to give the kids in our league an opportunity.
No taxes on retirement income, elimination of the Death Tax, and a flat 3.8% income rate for every Iowan. America is watching the great things we are are doing here in Iowa!
Keys to
@JusticeDanKelly
win today:
1. Go 6-0 in the BOW & WOW counties (Brown, Outagamie, Winnebago, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington) with big margins in Waukesha and Washington;
2. Get 25% in Dane and 30% in Milwaukee county.

So far the lockdowns have made folks lonelier, sadder, fatter, and poorer. Businesses have been ruined and many kids have lost at least a year of learning. But did they make us safer? Covid-19 cases have continued to spike despite all the government mandates.
On the left are the “non-essential” businesses that will be allowed to reopen tomorrow with a max of 5 customers at a time. On the right is an “essential” biz that’s been open throughout the SAH order w/no limits. Seem fair?

This is a gigantic step backwards for Wisconsin HS hockey. Any format that has Superior in Division 2 is a joke. No team has more state titles. WIAA doesn’t get hockey.
Sports unite people. We cheer for our favorite team without regard for each other’s politics, race, or gender. When sports teams or leagues allow themselves to be used for political purposes they are consciously choosing to be divisive.
Kudos to
@wiaawi
for sanctioning high school sports this season, and kudos to all the ADs who gave their student-athletes an opportunity to play. These are once in a lifetime memories.
We won’t protect your business from riots or looting, and we won’t offer any assistance for severely restricting your business during Covid. But by God, you better clean the sidewalks in front of your stores or we are coming for you!! Sincerely, City of Madison.

Trump should wait a week to announce his VP. Give Biden another full week on defense over his age and infirmity. If Biden survives 8 days with Congress back in session, he’s further weakened. If he steps aside, VP pick could be a counter move. Play chess, not checkers.
Inflation is a tax. It disproportionately impacts low and middle income families. It’s eating wage growth and crushing family budgets. People feel it daily at the pump and grocery store. Inflation will be the

Low propensity voters and new voters will turn out at record levels in November to vote for Trump. He has an opportunity to convince them to give him large majorities in the US Senate and Congress to enact his agenda. He can flip WV, MT, AZ, NV, WI, MI, PA, MD Senate seats.

Tonight will go down as perhaps the best conservative grassroots effort (likely victory) ever in Wisconsin. This one did not enjoy massive air cover like the ‘12 recall, or a Dem candidate that ignored the state like Clinton ‘16. This is what democracy looks like!
I’m voting for

today because she is the only candidate for DPI that will work to open all schools immediately; supports school choice; and has a proven track record of eliminating achievement gaps for black and brown students.
#ITrustParents
Overzealous parents may be able to push a good coach out at the the HS or midget level, but not in juniors or college. Teammates weed out “cancer” in the locker room. Can’t count how many times we passed on a kid because the report was the parents were over-the-top.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend! Let’s take a few days off the non-stop negativity to celebrate the remarkable freedom we all enjoy!
Thugs breaking windows and tagging downtown Madison businesses on live TV. No reaction whatsoever from the cops. That can only mean the Mayor has told them to stand down. Pathetic!

@NACommissioner
was in Janesville on this date in 2009 to award the Jets the first Wisconsin-based
@NAHLHockey
franchise in history. It was also the first new business in town after GM closed.
Every business is essential in some way to their customers or they wouldn’t exist. The current restrictions amount to the government picking winners and losers.
Really? Dane County has done more to harm small businesses during pandemic than any county in Wisconsin. The local small businesses that have survived are now dealing with your latest crippling orders.
We should let the public health data guide the next steps on the “Safer at Home” order. There was no new data released today to support extending the order. The public needs more than “We aren’t out of the woods yet,” to justify the extension.
@RohnWBishop
@GovEvers
Tommy Thompson, Jim Doyle and Scott Walker all would have been in Kenosha by now. They would have been there by Monday morning working with local elected leaders and law enforcement.
I don’t even remember a computer being in Tommy’s office in his first two terms. And if there was one later in his tenure, there’s no way he had an email.
Every governor in Wisconsin since Tommy Thompson has used an email alias. Evers administration has routinely disclosed to records requesters (including members of the media) that an alias exists for digital security reasons but has provided the content of emails.

Only 8 trick or treaters this year and they came as a group. Kids were pumped that we had full size candy bars. Pretty sure I’m already a legend in the new neighborhood.
The infrastructure built to attract Foxconn was a smart investment; it created an ideal ready-to-build site that was always going to attract major private investment.
Having covered HS hockey in Wisconsin in the opening years of my career, I saw first hand that hockey in WI is (unfortunately) treated as a niche sport. Also , that arena is probably the worst State venue the WIAA uses.
Thank you

@EricHovde
interview where he creates daylight between him and Trump on style/tone and a couple key issues is one of the smartest things I’ve seen in WI GOP statewide campaigns in a very long time.
@AP
Hovde said he supported the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, but in another break with Trump, told AP that he would not vote for a federal law banning abortion, saying states should decide.
Trump has suggested he would support a federal ban.
Toughest vote I’ve ever taken. I feel horrible for our players, coaches, staff, parents, billets, fans and sponsors.
