659. Welcome to today’s Blog. It’s just past midnight on Thanksgiving day and I am just figuring out how I want to approach this edition of the Blog. Usually I write a Blog over a 3 or 4 day period. So I was thinking about the last Blog when Mayor Paine said the following:

“Second, the city intervened to help Mr. Paine because we help citizens. That is our only purpose. When citizens, businesses, or developers need help, we do everything we can”. 

So I thought to myself, what the Mayor, the man of the people, the man who’s only purpose is to help the citizens of Superior has to say on this Thanksgiving day? What words of hope, wisdom and knowledge could he bestow upon us, his loyal subjects, on this special day? I then went to his Facebook page. You can only imagine the sickly feeling that came upon my dark soul when I saw that his last posting was on Election Day, Nov 5 at 9:24 AM, only hours before Donald Trump was elected President. Here is his post:

Election Day turnout in Superior is the highest I’ve seen it since taking office. Lines are very long but moving fast. Voting is easy, just show up. If it’s your first time, here are a few tips: 

1. Polls are open until 8 pm at the Government Center, Billings Park Civic Center, Zion Lutheran Church, Central Assembly of God Church, and Northwood Technical College. If you don’t know your polling place, DM me your address and I’ll help you find it, or call the Clerk’s office. 

2. If you are in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can vote if you are in line before 8 pm. 

3. You must have your photo ID to vote. If it doesn’t have your current address, bring a bill or official mail that does. 

4. Electioneering is a crime near polling places. Do not wear campaign materials or try to persuade other voters. 

5. Be cool to the election workers. They are well trained, but they’re getting through a long day.

While we thank the Mayor for his intelligent, insightful, one could even say life changing post, the question remains, WHERE THE HELL IS OUR MAYOR? No post in 16 days? No Thanksgiving words of wisdom from the Wordmeister of Wisconsin? Has somebody called the FBI? CIA? IRS? SPCA? EPA? NAACP? NFL? Craig Sutherland’s bait shop? Where is he? I decided to take action and launched my own investigation and I ran into this story. 

Oh and by the way Mayor on point 5 when you said “Be cool to the election workers. They are well trained, but they’re getting through a long day”.They’ve had four years to prepare. Give me a break. Here is the story.

Distraught liberals hold ‘group scream’ on beach following Trump victory

Dozens of people gathered near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to scream from the shore of Lake Michigan 

28 November 2024 3:49pm 

Left-wing voters held a “group scream” on a beach following Donald Trump’s election victory.

Dozens of people gathered near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to scream from the shore of Lake Michigan, some of them throwing back their heads or doubling over as they did so.

Footage from Nov 9, four days after Mr Trump trounced Kamala Harris at the polls, shows the screaming lasted around 20 seconds.

One couple embraced afterwards, while others laughed self-consciously.



A woman wearing a plaid shirt and blue woolly hat spent significantly longer screaming than her companions, bellowing at the lake’s choppy waters with her smartphone in hand.

The video later shows three women from the event stripping off and heading into the lake, jumping in the waves before heading back to shore. “They’re going to get hypothermia,” the person recording them said disapprovingly.



Dozens of people gathered near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to scream from the shore of Lake Michigan, some of them throwing back their heads or doubling over as they did so.

A screenshot posted on social media, apparently from a local Facebook group, advertised the event as a “primal scream” taking place at 9am.



It was accompanied by a series of symbols, including the raised fist of the Black Lives Matter movement.

One commenter suggested: “Maybe an evening scream too, for those who are having a hard time dragging ourselves out of bed in the morning with this devastating news”.

The Daily Mail reported that the group huddled together before the scream, with one woman being applauded after relating how her granddaughter had said she wanted to help Ms Harris win if she ran again in four years.

Another woman was said to have reminded the group that they needed to work at a “local level” to protect their rights and values.

Wisconsin, where Mr Trump won 49.7 per cent of the vote to Ms Harris’ 48.8 per cent, was one of the battleground states that sealed Mr Trump’s election victory.

Police officers and supporters of Mr Trump were reported to be nearby during the event, although neither intervened in the “group scream”.

According to Tamara Gibbs, who posted some of the footage to Facebook, Trump supporters stood away from the women on top of a hill, waving flags in support of the president-elect.

Ms Gibbs said the scream took place “in order to release our pain and frustration after the election”.

It comes as John Fetterman, the Democrat senator for Pennsylvania, warned his party that they would “lose any kind of relevance” if they “freak out on everything”.

He told The New York Times that the president-elect fed off the “outrage” he provoked from the Left, and that they had a “symbiotic relationship”.

“The Democrats can’t resist a freakout, and that must be the wind under the wings for Trump,” he told The New York Times.



“Does clutching the pearls so hard – does that change anything? Did it work? Did it change the election? Was it productive? And, like, I can’t believe the outrage. That has to be candy for Trump.”

Do you think maybe that’s where Mayor Paine ended up? When stories about a bunch of goofballs like this pop up the funniest part of the story is the comments people post on social media. So below I’d like to share some of them with you below. Oh, and FYI. The Mayor of Duluth did share his Thanksgiving thoughts on his Facebook page. 

1 - So yeah, a bunch of libs got together for a "primal scream" ritual, releasing their anger by screaming at Lake Michigan all because Donald Trump won. This Thanksgiving, be thankful this isn't you. 

2 - Can you even imagine the miserable lives the people live? 

3 - Hilarious.. What a bunch of psychos 

4 - What is wrong with these people? 

5 - These are all the people who are disowning their families because of the election. 

6 - Surprised MSNBC didn’t provide lifeguards for these folks. This is half of their viewership. 

7 - I lived in Wisconsin for almost 20 years and most people there are normal, like you and me. But these LIBERAL women need help - and are completely NUTS! 

8 - Couldn’t they just have shaved their heads like a normal left wing lunatic

9 - I never knew whales could beach themselves on fresh water lakes. 

10 - If you empty their pockets you will find all kinds of antidepressants, opioids and antipsychotic drugs. And a couple of hormone blockers too. 

11 - What did the lake do to them? Why aren't they looking at this from the lake's perspective? Does the lake even identify as a lake? What if it identifies as a toad? 

12 - What do we have here? Oh, just a group of well adjusted individuals doing nothing weird at all. These people’s opinions should obviously be held in the highest regard. Their insights into how to better the lives of Americans must be heeded.

13 - Screaming emits excess carbon dioxide. Is there a carbon tax for that? 

14 - Is that Tim Walz I see? 

15 - Fun fact: I am unable to scream, sing loudly or yell after getting vaccinated. Too painful! 

16 - This is why we are homeschooling our 2 year old 

17 - What did Lake Michigan ever do to them? 

18 - Looks like all the Karen's are in one place 

19 - All that bad breath will cause a terrible lake effect storm! lol 

20 - This was in Wi, how embarrassing! 

21 - I think it’s nice that ugly people have found each other! 

22 - Can this be considered a form of water pollution? 

23 - Enough already. Give them all a mirror and a backhand. 

24 - Krazy Kamala Karens Konvention 

25 - I feel sorry for the wildlife.

No sex. No dating. No marriage. No children. Interest grows in 4B movement to swear off men

In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States. 

It’s called “4B” because “B” is a shorthand for the word “no” in Korean — and a series of “nos” is what the movement calls for.

 No sex.

No dating.

No marrying men.

No children.

Young women on Instagram and TikTok are the primary demographic behind the recent American surge in interest. The idea behind the movement is individual resistance against what it defines as a conservative political environment and the corrosion of reproductive rights.

Michaela Thomas, a 21-year-old artist in Georgia, told The Washington Post that she first heard about the 4B movement about a year ago.

“Young men expect sex, but they also want us to not be able to have access to abortion,” Thomas told The Post. “They can’t have both. Young women don’t want to be intimate with men who don’t fight for women’s rights; it’s showing they don’t respect us.”

The concept of a “sex strike” is not new. The ancient Greek play “Lysistrata” highlights women swearing off sex to protest the Peloponnesian War. In South Korea, the 4B movement took root at a time when the country was undergoing its own reckoning with gender violence and equality issues. (It is a country with one of the widest wage gaps in the world.) 



In the United States, there is a growing ideological divide between young men and women: Women aged 18 to 30 are 30 percent more liberal than men of the same age, according to The Financial Times. Some experts point to the 2018 #MeToo movement as the key trigger in the rise in feminist values among women and the subsequent backlash among young men. 

If they go through with this, who are they going to bitch to? No men would want to have anything to do with them anyway. All this because an election didn't go your way? Good luck and have a nice life. And as one guy said on X:



“Men should be thankful about these women who are shaving their heads and wearing blue bracelets. Now you know for sure which ones to stay away from!”

S.C. town’s entire police force resigns: ‘I’m going to go

where I’m celebrated'

Published: Nov. 22, 2024

McCOLL, S.C. (WMBF) - More details are coming to light following the resignation of one Pee Dee town’s entire police force. McColl Police Chief Bob Hale broke his silence on Thursday confirming he was resigning just over a year after taking over the top cop role for the McColl Police Department.

Hale claimed the town council has created a hostile work environment and made “significant cuts” to the department’s funding. A former investigator also made this claim about the department.

“At the end of the day, I have a family. And when my job is constantly getting threatened and certain things are getting said I’m not going to stay somewhere and tolerate that,” Former McColl Investigator Courtney Bulusan said. Bulusan said she called it quits on Thursday, adding she wanted to go somewhere where she’s valued.“I’m not going to stay where I’m tolerated,” Bulusan said. “I’m going to go where I’m celebrated.”

Bulusan claims her job faced unnecessary challenges due to the lack of tools and equipment for her to utilize. “I was on my way to a call when that one just stopped working. We need cars,” Bulusan said. She said she wanted McColl residents to know her resignation had nothing to do with the community and she hopes the town takes the right steps to keep the community safe.

One McColl resident said now that the police department is without a police force, he worries that residents could be at risk. “Say if someone were stabbed or shot or whatever -- without police enforcement, they would have to come from the sheriff’s office in Bennettsville,” said McColl resident, William Groom. “We’re talking ten or fifteen minutes and someone could possibly expire in that amount of time. Without police enforcement, it’s definitely a bad situation.”

WMBF News reached out to Mayor George Garner who would not comment on the allegations made by the now-former officers. “I hate to see them go. They were a great group. But we gonna continue on,” he said. He did add that the Marlboro County Sheriff’s Office has assured him that they will cover the town while they look for a new police chief.

The mayor added that residents should be on their best behavior and show the county that they can handle themselves over the holidays. Bulusan also identified the previously unnamed councilman that was referenced in Hale’s resignation social media post as Councilman Harry Benjamin.

WMBF News reached out to Benjamin for comment but at the time of this publication, we have not heard back.

7 DAYS LATER—IT GOT A LOT MORE WEIRD

 South Carolina mayor dies in car crash days after  town’s entire police force resigns

Fri, November 29, 2024 

A South Carolina mayor died in a car crash during a deputy pursuit days after his entire police force quit.

Darlington County Coroner J Todd Hardee confirmed the news in a Facebook post on Tuesday. McColl Mayor George Garner II, 49, died when a car he was traveling in collided with a truck. The crash happened around 2.40 pm on Hwy 34 in Mechanicsville. Garner was being pursued by a Marlboro County Deputy at the time. He veered left of the center line and collided with an 18-wheeler on November 26. He was transported to McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, where he died. Garner had recently been re-elected to his position.

“The pursuit was not related to any laws being broken,” Hardee wrote. “The pursuit was taking place in effort to protect the well-being of Mr Garner.” Hardee expects to make a ruling on Garner’s death in the coming days. The Independent has emailed Marlboro County officials for comment.

Earlier this month, McColl’s entire police force resigned, leaving the town of 1,900 without a single officer on duty. In a statement obtained by WPDE, Chief Bob Hale said he resigned following treatment from a local official.

“For months, I have endured unwarranted and malicious behavior aimed at undermining my integrity and leadership,” he wrote.

“These actions have not only affected me personally but have also created a toxic atmosphere that has hindered the department’s ability to function effectively.”

The collision is being investigated by the Darlington County Coroner and the SCHP MAIT team.

In a separate Facebook post, Marlboro County 911 wrote: “Our hearts are heavy during this difficult time, and we are keeping everyone affected in our thoughts and prayers. Mayor Garner was truly a remarkable individual. He consistently treated everyone with warmth and respect, and his kindness left a lasting impact on those around him.”

Garner leaves behind a wife, two sons and a daughter. His funeral service will be held on December 3. 

McColl Mayor Pro-Tem Brian Blue also offered his condolences to Garner’s family. In a statement he gave to WMBF, he wrote: “I want everyone to know the mayor loved his family and the people in the Town of McColl.”



“He always told us whether he was in or out of office, he always wanted us to move the town in the right direction. And at this time, I would like for everybody to keep his family and the Town of McColl in your prayers as we deal with the loss of the mayor of McColl.”

You lose your police force and your mayor dies in a crash while being pursued by police within a week. And Thanksgiving week as well. My gut is telling me there is a lot more to this story. But weird? Ya, real weird.

(ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK)

In this feature we will run a story that shows you, America, how you dodged a bullet by not voting this incompetent buffoon to national office. We will outline stories that we feel are detrimental to the state of Minnesota but also for the country. Here is today’s story.

  Ilhan Omar's foul-mouthed outburst at pro-Israel protester

Ilhan Omar was filmed telling a pro-Israel protester to 'f**k' themselves in a shocking outburst near Capitol Hill last night. The progressive Democratic firebrand was confronted by the protester as she rushed into an elevator. The protester challenged the congressional ‘Squad' member on her rhetoric, telling her: 'Go to Gaza, sweetheart'.

Omar responded angrily, yelling: 'F**k you!' before the doors of the elevator closed.

The protester was part of the Betar US group, which has made horrific threats against Omar's fellow Squad member Rashida Tlaib. In one post, the group threatened Tlaib with a reference to Israel's pager bomb attack on members of Hezbollah. 'We will come back again and again,' they said, adding a pager emoji along with the threat: 'We have for you'

THEN THERE IS THIS STORY

Walz Endorsed Radical Ilhan Omar

Newly minted Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz previously endorsed radical Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for Congress, Walz's social media revealed.

In July 2020, as governor of Minnesota, Walz posted: "@IlhanMN never runs away from a challenge. Her determination inspires those around her to pursue their passion in the face of adversity. She has quickly established herself as a progressive leader in Congress. #MN05."

He added in reference to all of the Democrats he endorsed that year: "As a former member of Congress representing Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, I know exactly how difficult this job can be. In addition to the incredible leadership that each of these members has displayed on the national stage during their time in Congress, they have done an equally impressive job staying grounded in their home districts."

At the time, Omar, a member of "The Squad," a group of progressive House Democrats, was challenged in her primary by four other Democrats, but Walz chose to throw his support behind the controversial representative Omar. Along with Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Omar was one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress but has become known for her anti-Israel sentiment such as her infamous "It's all about the Benjamins, baby," comment in response to then House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatening to punish Omar for comments regarding Israel.

Despite efforts by Democrats and some media pundits to rebrand Walz as a folksy, Midwestern centrist, he has already been called out by Republicans for his handling of the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 in Minneapolis, his firm embrace of COVID-19 lockdown measures, and his steadfast allegiance to the transgender lobby. 

Some moderates have accused Harris of capitulating to the hard-left base in the Democrat party by selecting Walz and avoiding the more moderate and Israel-supporting governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro.

The feelings of support appeared mutual with Omar posting on Tuesday: "Congratulations to our next Vice President @Time_Walz.Our North Star Governor has signed universal school meals, paid family and sick leave, marijuana legalization, and protections for reproductive rights into law. Bringing Minnesota nice to the ticket."

COMMENTS

Yep, the “China Loving” Tampon Tim had the “America Hating” Omar’s back from the beginning. And once again, congratulations Minnesota. You voted her in and you voted for the Harris/Walz ticket and fortunately they lost. And Minnesota you got him back. Yep, your precious Governor is back for more death and destruction. You voted for him and you got him. Enjoy! Oh, and don’t forget “Goofy” Gwen is back too. Good luck!

 A MAYOR PAINE SIGHTING

Yes, thanks to our friends at Soupnutz.net the Mayor has been located. Here is the story:

Superior City Clowncil Meeting: A Farcical Display of Governance on November 19th

Nov 27

The November 19th Superior Common Council meeting had all the gravitas of a student council debate over vending machine snacks—except the snacks are your tax dollars, and the debate? A masterclass in unintentional comedy. It wasn’t governance; it was an improv show no one asked for but everyone endured. Let’s break it down.

Superior’s Council Meeting: A Civic Circus with No Ringmaster

The Superior Common Council meeting on November 19th wasn’t democracy in action—it was democracy on autopilot, stalling at every red light while pretending it was in the fast lane. If Kafka wrote Parks and Recreation, this is what it’d look like. Strap in.

Mayor Payne: Leadership on a Smoke Break

Mayor Paine opened with, “Budgets passed, elections over. I got nothing.”That’s right, folks—the city’s highest-ranking official took the floor and delivered… nothing. Not even a platitude! We’re paying this guy to sit in a meeting and do less than your average Zoom attendee. At least on Zoom, someone fakes typing notes.

Finance Report: The Power of No Effort

Councilor Elm, tasked with reporting on the Finance Committee, dropped this bombshell: “I have not prepared a statement.”No shit, Sherlock!” Did you also forget to pay your electric bill or gas up your car? Because if this is how our finances are handled, we’re one missed paycheck away from pawning City Hall.

Rubber-Stamping the Budget: Democracy’s Easy Button

The council rubber-stamped the health insurance budget faster than you can say, “Do we have questions?” The only audible contribution? Councilor Van Sickle murmured a recusal she’s married to Mayor Jim Paine. Who needs deliberation when you can just chant “aye” and call it a day? If this is governance, I’m governing my own life by saying yes to ice cream for breakfast.

Achievements in the Art of Doing Barely Anything

The Finance Committee proudly announced their 2024 goal: one budget book. One. They patted themselves on the back for what amounts to remembering their kid’s science fair project the night before it’s due. If this is progress, we should all lower our expectations to sub-basement levels.

Museum Contract: Bureaucracy on Shuffle

The council discovered mid-meeting they hadn’t finalized documents for a museum management contract. Their response? Approve the idea of maybe approving it later. This is what happens when your entire decision-making strategy boils down to, “Eh, close enough.”

Fiber Expansion: Buzzwords Without Bandwidth

The city’s fiber-optic plans included impressive phrases like “170 miles of engineering” and “clustering installations.” Translation: We’re digging a lot of holes and hoping someone smarter will figure out the rest. Councilors seemed more worried about hiding cables underground than whether anyone will actually have internet access before the next ice age.

FOIA Software: Now With Predictive Text!

The council was thrilled about JustFOIA, a tool for handling public records requests with features like predictive text. Predictive text? For public records? Fantastic—now you’ll type “city budget” and get “Did you mean: We’re broke?” Transparency, brought to you by autocorrect.

The Whole Farce: Masters of Saying Nothing

From Mayor Paine’s deadpan “I got nothing” to councilors winging it like students bluffing through a book report, this meeting was less governance and more kabuki theater. The real takeaway? If you talk long enough, maybe no one will notice you’re not saying anything. Superior, your city council isn’t leading—it’s killing time.

Good grief! Is the Mayor going to cut his hair and stop dating?

Well that wraps up this one. I’ll see you next time.

Thanks,

Brian
