Jeffrey D. Boldt

Fun Awards event last night. My novel Big Lake Troubles won for environmental and climate change fiction.

Hard for this old lawyer not to conclude that we’re now in an Orban-style illiberal democracy; quasi-authoritarian.

Madison, WI

Read my Opinion piece on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in the Capital Times.

Real place from my novel Big Lake Troubles.

Trump launched a meme coin and it became worth $32 billion overnight Companies associated with the president-elect own as much as 80% of the supply.

Follow the money, or in this case crypto.

"Troubling": Mike Johnson faces bipartisan shock, fury for ousting Intel chair Turner "I think the vast majority of us are not happy with the decision," said one House Republican.

Russia, Russia, Russia??? "The ouster of Turner...as a blow to the large bipartisan bloc of national security-minded lawmakers in Congress.Turner's replacement is Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.), who is closer to MAGA world on issues like Ukraine, Axios' Hans Nichols reported."

Legendary producer and Garbage star Butch Vig and his latest find, alt-country songwriter Zeke Bleek, were in Madison recently and spotted holding the same eco-thriller set in Wisconsin. Thanks for reading gentlemen, and sending calm winds and good luck to you and everyone in LA.

Kaine clashes with Hegseth over infidelity, drinking, scandals Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) clashed sharply with secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth over his infidelity and reports of public drunkenness and drunkenness on the job, repeatedly pressing Hegseth o…

“One of your colleagues said that you got drunk at an event at a bar and chanted, ‘Kill all Muslims.’ Another colleague, not anonymous, we have this, said you took co-workers to a strip club, you were drunk, you tried to dance with strippers, you had to be held off the stage,” Kaine said.

Hope to see you this afternoon in Green Bay!

Earth records hottest year ever in 2024 and the jump was so big it breached a key threshold Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold.

It's the climate crisis, stupid.

John Banville, Paula Hawkins and yours truly?

Duolingo champion, too.

Donald Trump Jr.’s visit was ‘staged,’ says Greenland lawmaker “We know how they treat the Inuit in Alaska. Make that great before trying to invade us,” Pipaluk Lynge tells POLITICO.

More fraud from Trump Inc.

Even the Murdoch-run NY Post sees how ridiculous Trump's blustering is.

A tale of two presidents: How L.A. fires show the difference between Biden and Trump President Biden stood next to Gov. Gavin Newsom and pledged full federal support as fires burned through Los Angeles County. President-elect Donald Trump took to social media and blamed 'Newscum.'

What kind of an asshat offers nothing but juvenile name-calling and absurd theories of blame at a time of searing tragedy?

Anyone who follows this 60-something Wisconsin lawyer/author will be followed back, presto pronto.

Trump Raises Using Military or Economic Force to Take Greenland and the Panama Canal In an hourlong news conference at his Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, the president-elect delivered a hodgepodge of grievances, complaints and false claims.

What NATO ally is going to want to share intelligence with this blustering Ugly American fool? Not founding members Denmark or Canada.

Trump's billionaires set to take government by storm At least 14 billionaires — and counting — will serve in the next Trump administration.

A government of the billionaires, by the billionaires and for the billionaires. Pax, Abe.

Ex-Tulsi Gabbard Aides: She Was a Devout Consumer of Kremlin Propaganda “There certainly isn’t any guarantee to Putin that we won’t try to overthrow Russia’s government,” Gabbard wrote in a 2017 memo to staff, obtained by ABC News.

No way this RT (Russia Today) hack should be Director of the US Intelligence. Her fate will be a huge tell as to how much influence Putin has over Trump.

How Kash Patel, Trump's FBI pick, embraced the unhinged QAnon movement His extremism goes far beyond assailing a supposed Deep State.

FBIQA?

Pete Hegseth’s Secret History A whistle-blower report and other documents suggest that Trump’s nominee to run the Pentagon was forced out of previous leadership positions for financial mismanagement, sexist behavior, and being rep...

"A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran...in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct."

Trump’s Pentagon pick Hegseth wrote of US military taking sides in ‘civil war’ Defense secretary pick said in 2020 that should Democrats win election the military ‘will be forced to make a choice’

Unqualified, serial sex abuser, and wants civil war if Democrats win? Nope, nah, no way.

A new era in American politics: When sexual misconduct allegations are overlooked Four of Donald Trump's nominees to high-profile jobs have faced allegations of sexual misconduct, complicating their pathway to government service.

And then there's Linda McMahon, Trump’s Education pick, who was sued for allegedly enabling sexual abuse of children. Hard to keep up.
