Abele election as Milwaukee County Executive could be an even larger blow to Walker

In an article by Huffington Post titled Chris Abele Elected Milwaukee County Executive in Blow to Scott Walker it was reported that “Chris Abele has won the race for Milwaukee County Executive, defeating Republican Jeff Stone handily on Tuesday. The position was previously held by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R), whose controversial anti-union law has sharply divided the state. Abele won more than 60% of the vote.” It further reported that “Abele used the recent controversy surrounding Walker to build support for his campaign.” While I tend to somewhat agree with the premise of this article, I believe that Abele could inflict much more damage.
I believe that if Abele were to do much more for the county than Scott Walker did that would increase the amount of damage to Walker. Abele would need to accomplish major things in as little amount of time as possible and those who are re-calling this governor or the majority’s choice to oppose him in the next election could use. It has to be accomplishments that were above board and transparent as well as extremely popular considering the climate of Wisconsin. It may mean making compromises that some may not favor but in the end would make the journey of anyone to follow that much more obvious and they too will have to continue to work for the people and not for their own interest.
I do not believe that going back on a promise of not raising taxes would be a bad thing for Abele if he made sure to include everyone and not separate the classes as we see is being done in Washington where the poor and middle class keeps paying while the wealthy is excluded. If Abele really does right by the majority, I believe that he will cause more people running for office to be more open and honest but then that’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
