REVIEW: The Dollar Shave Club
I definitely do not like body hair, and nothing is worse than shaving with a dull blade, ouch.
Men AND women face it, the times have changed and you need to maintain yourself. Rid yourself of hair from your eyelashes down 😏 (if you can afford laser treatments or waxing go for it!)
EXPENSIVE! Replacement blades are RIDICULOUS! $20 for a four pack? No wonder we all use blades till they're ripping our hair out painfully.
THE DOLLAR SHAVE CLUB
If you don't live under a rock, you've seen the ads for "the dollar shave club". I finally decided to research it. Everything I found was positive. Three options per month for $3, $6 or $9 dollars per month depending on the type of blade. I went with the $6 per month option which gives me one free handle at sign up and four blades per month delivered. I joined the club and placed my first order on a holiday, January 1 late in the afternoon. They were in my mailbox today January 8, not bad.
CUTE BOX! I CAN'T WAIT TO USE THEM AND I WILL UPDATE WITH MY FINDINGS.
If you can't wait for my full review and are going to join please click here
and use my referral link! I get five dollars for each person I refer as will you.
Here's some more pictures of the really cute packaging.

That Old Kettle Keeps Calling the Crackpot Black
I've had a few conversations with Reince Prebus on how he is trying hard to grow the party, to reach out, and how he is friends with and respects the likes of Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. I believe Reince, he has always reached out and been kind and approachable.
Reince would be ashamed of the actions in his home state. If he heard certain podcasts, many phone conversations, and comments in crowded public areas from high ranking elected people he would know why Wisconsin was blue in 2012.

Do you REALLY think the way to win the Millennials and undecideds is by knocking on their door saying:
"We NEED your vote but.."
You'll have people TELLING you to ATTACK THE LEFT, not our own, then 2 seconds later, they are all over the air BLASTING those voters mentioned above, they're all over Twitter condemning and criticizing every Republican mentioned above. They'll come on Facebook and bully you until you LEAVE. The hypocrisy is beyond sickening.
The fact is YOU are a 70 to 80% "friend" but that is not good enough for them if you have a voice.
(Hysterical watching the FB critical comments on this blog proving my points here <DM>)
"We NEED your vote but.."
- If you want spending in Wisconsin decreased, keep it to yourself.
- If you want a Kenosha Casino, shut up and wait.
- If you are a constitutionalist you are crazy.
- If your focus is on the 2nd Amendment, you're nuts.
- If you want Constitutional Carry like other states, you're insane.
- If you don't cheerlead EVERY bad vote out of Congress you're kicked out.
- If you wanted your representative to vote AGAINST funding the NSA, you're the FRINGE
- If you want to question or criticize CERTAIN officials, you should resign, but THEY will criticize the HELL out of the REPUBLICANS you support and you better like it.
- If you support legalization of marijuana you are a stupid useless stoner.
- If you believe in liberty and freedom you are a libertarian because THEY say you are and you're not welcome in their shrinking tent.
- If you support the 10th Amendment you're a crazy lunatic "tenther".
- If you call yourself Tea Party you are insane.
Now give me all your contact information and vote Republican in November.
This is now Wisconsin.
Hell, you can't even CALL yourself a Republican without permission in Wisconsin these days, you'll have people TELLING YOU that you aren't!

Are you allowed to be a Wisconsin Republican?
Go RED!
Super Saturday!
Super Saturday!
Donate your money!
Community captain!
We have a big tent!
Community outreach!
Minority outreach!
Door knocking, phone calls!
A presence at all events!
Nomination signatures!
Get out the VOTE!
THESE are the ONLY things you are allowed to chant in Wisconsin as a Republican. IF you DARE say anything else you are crazy! Pure crazy I tell you! IF you say anything else and get elected to a County GOP board or Congressional District board, executive committee for the state (because more people actually voted for you) you are an INFILTRATOR! A crazy infiltrator I tell you!
You know what you are called…crazy, crackpot, anarchist, libertarian, the fringe, the tea party, because why.....because "THEY" say so. "THEY" are all kinds of people, "they" are a talkshow host, they are very high-ranking elected official in the state, "they" are the people on social media lying about you and picking fights with you, calling you crazy crackpots and douche bags on the air and in public at events. "They" are people who all think they are better than you and know EVERYTHING. "They" are also the ones that seem to forget the 2012 presidential election results in Wisconsin and think they have nothing to learn. "They" are the ones that think this is still your daddy's politics and don't understand the strength of the grassroots, the power of social media and the danger of a smart phone.
"They" are also the people taking a topic they claim is toxic to the party and blogging, tweeting repetitively, posting on Facebook, and sometimes talking on the radio about it, yet say you feed the left (such hypocrisy). "THEY" are the ones causing the stir, not you. You are ones following the rules, but now "they" will try to constantly change the rules.
"They" don't want you to call yourself a Republican, and "they" will NOT call you a Republican ......apparently they don't want you to vote Republican.
All we hear is how we need to reach that percent of people to win the majority yet the fact is YOU are a 70 to 80% "friend" but that is not good enough for them if you have a voice. But wait! If you DARE to criticize any BAD votes of elected Republican golden boys, "they" will scream at you saying those officials are 70 to 80% our friend! Huh? But …. STOP ....they will scream at you... they will have many high-ranking people calling you to yell at you, people will try to censure you, because actually, you are not allowed your opinion. Some of the old guard will attack you regularly on Facebook saying you are not fit to carry the OLD congressman's jockstrap, the same congressman many people disagreed with, including a couple of talkshow hosts.
How counterproductive for "them" to be grasping at the minority votes, yet shoving ones they already had right out the door.
According to "them" you are not a Wisconsin Republican, and they must have enough votes without yours.

Republicans, Democrats and Guns
Republicans, Democrats and Guns
Since the early 90's I have been a gun owner. In my younger years I was an avid hunter for deer, duck and geese. My father is retired military and my brother is a police officer. I love shooting at the range for sport. I have a teen age daughter who as of now is not interested. I wasn't either at that age.
Many of my friends that are Democrat and "middle" politically, are strong believers in the 2nd Amendment, and are sportsmen and sportswomen. Fishing and hunting are a huge part of the Wisconsin culture. I am so grateful to see us together on this issue. It can't be easy for them to support this cause after the division of our parties in recent years. Obviously their Constitutional Rights mean a lot to them and I am proud and thankful for them supporting conservatives and republicans if even just on this issue.
The amount of hatred from the FAR and radical left that can't see past the end of their noses is never lost on me, but luckily this is also NEVER the majority. Though this local blogger, Kelly Gallaher from Racine (Mt. Pleasant) is very unpopular to both political parties and has minimal readership, it still takes our breath away at times that people spew such evil online. She has lied and attacked me MANY times in her blog in the past year. Her frequent blogs normally contain the F%&* word and C%#* word, this one is more mild but shows a very strange point of view towards Wisconsin sports. She may have a mouse in her pocket, I'm not sure. Excerpt from the Root River Siren:
Thank goodness little communists like this are small in number. Luckily Facebook has banned all of her blogs, probably due to severe profanity and lies. Should we say we don't give a rip about her 1st Amendment rights?..........

The "I" Word again - Racine Wisconsin Election Incompetence
Racine City Clerk Janice Johnston-Martin PERSONALLY SIGNS 23 incomplete VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS.
Boxes are BLANK to denote proof of residence. SERIOUSLY! I'm not making this up.
Apparently if you register more than 20 days before an election, you don't have to provide proof of residence? I hate to even type that as we KNOW that could be a HUGE opening to more FRAUD in NOVEMBER! Anyway, 20 of the 23 forms were well within the 20-day window. Sorry JJ, that excuse didn't work.
Click here for PROOF of MORE incompetence from the TOP
Now in TRUE Racine Journal Times fashion, some reporter gets all over Media Trackers, by finding someone to discount them. RJT HATES THE TRUTH! Unreal. I have to comment on this quote from the article (link below)
“Those boxes are on there for a reason and if those boxes are not filled out it’s just not going to have that certainty and that form’s not going to be complete,” Sikma said. “It raises questions about (Johnson-Martin’s) ability to run an election in the state of Wisconsin when she has people under her who don’t do this for a living. How can she expect those people to do their job properly if she as a city clerk failed to follow state protocol?”
That question SHOULD BE RAISED! What the heck goes on in Racine? Pay attention August 14th, I'm sure as USUAL, you will go to bed without Racine, Wisconsin results. Strange how MUCH larger cities report HOURS before the city of Racine. There are MASSIVE reports of FRAUD and INCOMPETENCE in Racine elections, but no one blames the CLERK? Funny it wasn't the same in Waukesha was it, and it wasn't anything near as bad as THIS!
Here's the article RJT ran, asking RADICAL LEFT group "League of Women Voters of Wisconsin" their "opinion".....#DUH

HEY DOES ANYONE READING THIS LIVE IN WISCONSIN????

WI Recall Election IRREGULARITIES - "F-Word"
I wanted to blog in chronological order, but this is such an URGENT topic, I need to share it now.
June 5th, 2012 was the Recall Election for the Wisconsin Senate District 21 Senator Van Wanggaard. The felon draft dodger John Lehman ran against him (click here for it in his own words if you don't believe me). Racine Wisconsin is known for "voter irregularities" and the "recallers" had felony charges brought against them EVEN during the signature collecting!
We know extra money was dumped into this district by the unions since the Van Wanggaard race was the most at risk. With mountains of evidence still coming in, I want to share what I've seen so far for those of you who have ANY "doubt" of FRAUD in this election and others. Yes, I said the "F" word. At the end of the summary, I have articles about MORE instances.
THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN!

Tipliine # is 262-35VOTER
These instances have been reported to the authorities and will be investigated for CRIMINAL charges.

RACINE POLL June 5th 2012 - Like the wall covering?
1.
Getting people to the polls
a.
Get out the vote effort: There were numerous “Get Out The Vote”
efforts going on in Racine, including a major effort run from the Labor Center
which utilized high school students, as well as at least one other significant
independent effort.
b.
School involvement: The student GOTV program, which previously
was run under the direct auspices of Horlick High School, this year was “run”
by "Youth Empowered for the Struggle," a youth arm of radical illegal
immigrant rights group "Voces de la Frontera." Y.E.S is organized in taxpayer-funded Racine
Unified public schools, with guidance from teachers who collect a paycheck from
Racine taxpayers. The largest YES group
is found in Racine Horlick High School, which is officially classified as a
failing school by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction; Despite the
school's poor academic performance, they still allowed the day before final
exams to be a day of partisan political activism instead of academics, by
allowing students to participate in a democrat aligned Get Out The Vote effort,
which was focused on majority democrat wards in the city. This activity was organized on school
property, using school resources, and during school academic time. Students rode in vans covered in partisan
political slogans exhorting people to vote for Barret, Mitchell, and Lehman, and
dispatched from the Labor Center - hardly neutral political ground.
c.
Organizer intimidation: One of the adults associated with the Y.E.S.
effort, a teacher at Racine Horlick High School, was reportedly cited by Racine
Police for aggressively forcing his way into an apartment building and
screaming at residents to vote.
2.
Sowing chaos at the polls
a.
Union presence – electioneering: Occurred at
virtually every polling place in the city. Numerous polling places had a major
disruptive presence of union activists.
These people, in many cases clad in “blue fist” or other union attire
would converge on a polling location and attempt to influence the process there,
by insidiously infiltrating the polls.
These volunteers would enter the polling place, and begin distributing
drinks and food to voters, and directing traffic at the entrance, and would
progress quickly to discussing voting with voters, and acting in a quasi-poll workers. Many attempted to provide assistance to
voters.
As we have encountered this particular union tactic before, and seen the
kind of chaos they can create, we pushed back hard on anyone other than voters,
poll workers, and poll watchers in the polling place. We continuously had to ask the CEI to ask these third parties to leave the polling
place, or move beyond the 100
foot limit in the parking lot. At Festival Hall, two union goons wearing
embroidered “Stop the War on Workers” polo shirts adorned with blue fist
stickers attempted to start an altercation when I asked them to move 100 feet from the
door. I called the Racine Police
Department and made a complaint of illegal electioneering, and asked to have
the two men escorted from the entrance.
Leftist thugs also attempted to intimidate election observers. At one polling place, Festival Hall, an
election observer was threatened by a Racine leftist “community organizer” who
said he would “smash her head into the pavement.”
b.
Insufficient staffing: Many polling places . We received a number of complaints from poll
workers that they were unable to deal with turnout which in many cases exceeded
the high turnout 2008 presidential election.
We noted the processing of absentee ballots by regular poll workers at
each polling place, rather than by a roving absentee ballot team, which has been
used to help poll workers focus on election day voters in previous high profile
elections.
c.
Insufficient training: Poll workers received
less training than our poll watchers received.
In many cases they were unfamiliar with the law, particularly with regard
to same day voter registration. They had
to be continually reminded about the standards for documenting residency. However, the problems encountered went far
beyond this issue. Poll watchers found
Chief Election Inspectors who were mishandling ballots, who ignored challenges,
who ignored blatant electioneering,
d.
Lack of supervision: Chief Election Inspectors are supposed to
know better, but in multiple instances, we had to correct them on the conduct
of their job. One, for example, went off
on his own to input absentee ballots into an electronic voting machine, a
serious breach of election integrity.
Another allowed a poll worker to go off and canvass the neighborhood in
search of votes. Still others neglected
to expel loiterers and union organizers from the polling place, unless the city
clerk was called.
3.
Poll worker issues
a.
Voter registration
i.
Occupant:
The statute provides for the use
of utility bills as proof of residency, but they must obviously be addressed to
the voter. Racine water bills are
addressed to “Occupant” not a specific person.
Therefore, a Racine water bill cannot be used to prove residence. However, many poll workers at polling places
across the city were accepting this document, unless we specifically
objected. While this resulted in no
challenges and was generally dealt with informally, the repeated nature of this
issue in many cases left us with no confidence that poll workers would disallow
this document when we were not present.
ii.
Felon List:
Poll workers handling voter registration tables had to be continually
reminded to verify that voters did not appear on the ineligible felon lists.
iii.
Failure to uphold statutory requirements for
ID/residence: In many cases,
unauthorized documents were accepted as proof of residence. These included junk mail and other store
fliers, hospital bills, and as one poll worker insisted to me, “anything with
an account number.” In reality,
commercial mail, with the exception of utility bills, is not acceptable for
proving residence.
iv.
Out of district voters: The Chief Election Inspector at Humble Park,
a Mr. Mosby, was prepared to allow a Sturtevant resident to vote at Humble
Park. It was only after I pointed out
that it was an entirely different municipality that he told the voter he could
not vote there. He then asked me to move
so that I could not hear or see the documentation of other voters.
v.
Allowed
to vote 3 times: A voter at Martin
Luther King Community Center was allowed to vote three times. After being challenged on the third visit to
the polls, her ballot was flagged and the challenge logged, but the ballot was
put into the machine.
vi.
Challenge ignored : At the John Bryant Community Center, where I
observed an individual attempting to register to vote, using a handwritten
tear-out rent receipt, bearing the date 6/5/2012, to establish residency. I made a comment to the poll worker at the
registration desk that the document did serve as proof of residency. The Chief Election Inspector, Lillie Cameron,
heard my comment, walked over, and began to chastise me for talking to the poll
worker.
I told her that it was my intention to challenge the elector. She ignored my statement. I told her, again, emphatically, that I
challenged the elector. Ms. Cameron
again ignored my challenge.
The voter, having completed his registration, got in line to vote. I waited there at the table, and when he
reached the front of the line, I stated loudly and emphatically that I
challenged the elector. Ms. Cameron, and
the poll workers made no acknowledgment of my challenge. At that point, I began to yell “I am
challenging this elector! You cannot
give him a ballot!”
Ms.
Cameron, and the poll workers, completely ignored my challenge, and allowed the
elector to receive a ballot. They
blatantly and defiantly ignored my legal right of challenge, and allowed
someone to vote who had not demonstrated, according to the requirements of the
law, that they were a resident of that ward and district.
Voting Table:
vii.
Announcing the voter: In many cases, poll
workers had to be repeatedly reminded that voters were to state their name and
address upon approaching the table, and were not to be prompted by poll
workers. Prompting could facilitate
election fraud.
viii.
Poll workers at multiple poll locations did not
require those providing assistance, including in some cases poll workers, to
document that assistance was provided.
In some cases, poll workers routinely offered assistance rather than
wait for a request, even to those who seemingly did not require assistance.
b.
Absentee ballots
i.
Remaking of ballots: Because ballots were not available at the
start of in person absentee voting, voters were required to use ordinary paper
ballots, necessitating that the ballots be remade at the polling place prior to
processing. At Chavez Community Center,
and undetermined number of ballots, including those paper ballots, but possibly
others besides, were not remade.
Instead, they were entered directly into the electronic voting machine
by a sole poll worker, who was working without supervision or
corroboration. The direct entry of these
ballots into the electronic touchscreen voting machine does not provide for a
paper trail to ensure the will of the voter was reflected in the ballot cast.
ii.
Processing absentee ballots without supervision: At Chavez, MLK, Transit Center, and other
polling locations, poll watchers witnessed the mishandling of ballots,
including ballots being piled haphazardly on tables out of the control of poll
workers.
I will add stories below as I have time.
This one is PARTICULARLY DISTURBING from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal!
