Flag Day 2026

Today is Flag Day.

History, from the National Flag Day Foundation:

The "Stars and Stripes" was designated the official National symbol of the United States of America by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777-the fifth item on the agenda that day. It was resolved in the Journal of the Continental Congress "that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." In 1885, a school teacher named Bernard J. Cigrand encouraged his students to reflect on the real meaning and majesty of this symbol.

In Waubeka, Wisconsin, nineteen year old Bernard J. Cigrand placed a 10" 38-star flag in an inkwell on his desk at the front of his one room classroom. He prompted his students to write an essay about what the flag meant to them, referring to that day, June 14, as the flag’s birthday. From that day on, Cigrand dedicated himself to inspiring not only his students but all Americans to reflect on the grand significance of "Old Glory."

A little over three decades later in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson declared June 14th as National Flag Day. President Wilson proclaimed, "The Flag has vindicated its right to be honored by all nations of the world and feared by none who do righteousness." On August 3, 1949, President Truman signed an Act of Congress recognizing the holiday of Flag Day and encouraging Americans to celebrate it.

On June 14, 2004, 108th U.S. Congress unanimously voted on H.R. 662 declaring Flag Day originated in Waubeka, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin.

Steven Brandenburg

US pharmacist in vaccine tampering guilty plea https://t.co/BGgcmcldRT

— BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) January 27, 2021

From BBC News:

Steven Brandenburg, 46, is accused of removing from cold storage 57 vials with 570 doses of the Moderna vaccine in Grafton, Wisconsin, in December.

Without refrigeration, the vaccine becomes ineffective.

Mr Brandenburg could be jailed for 20 years on two charges of attempting to tamper with consumer products.

He also faces a $250,000 (£182,000) fine.

In a statement on Tuesday, the attorney's office in Wisconsin said Mr Brandenburg "signed a plea agreement acknowledging that he was guilty of attempting to render hundreds of doses of Covid-19 vaccine ineffective".

He was charged "with two counts of attempting to tamper with consumer products, with reckless disregard for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or bodily injury".

The pharmacist admitted that he "believed in various 'conspiracy theories'; subscribed to notions of "alternative history"; and was sceptical of vaccines in general and the Moderna vaccine specifically", the statement added.

Mr Brandenburg allegedly tampered with the vials on two successive night shifts at the pharmacy in late December. Each time, he left the vials out of the refrigerator for several hours before putting them back.

I'm afraid this guy will only get a slap on the wrist.

Christine Daikawa, Cedarburg - Voter Fraud

We must do all we can to protect the integrity of our elections. We must have measures in place to safeguard the validity of the system.

Democrats, of course, orchestrated conditions, in many cases illegally, to make it easier for people to commit crimes.

The fact is there are dishonest people who are willing to cheat.

Christine Daikawa of Cedarburg, Wisconsin cheated. She committed voter fraud. She got caught.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A Cedarburg woman has been charged with voter fraud after prosecutors say she submitted an absentee ballot close to Election Day for her life partner who died in July.

Christine Daikawa, 48, faces two counts — making a false statement to obtain or vote an absentee ballot, a misdemeanor, and election fraud by impersonating an elector, a felony.

According to the criminal complaint:

Cedarburg City Clerk Tracie Sette told investigators that when election workers tried to log an absentee vote that had been dropped off on Election Day, records showed the voter, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Larson, was deceased. The vote, therefore, was not counted.

Larson, 56, had requested an absentee ballot for the Nov. 3 election back in March. She died July 9.

But the ballot envelope had been signed and dated Sept. 16. Daikawa had signed as the witness, listing an address in Thiensville. From Larson's obituary, detectives learned Daikawa had been her partner.

...When confronted with the absentee ballot envelope on Nov. 11, Daikawa said, “I did, but I didn’t mean to” and then said that she'd committed voter fraud and was going to jail.

Daikawa admitted that she cast a vote for a dead person. She admitted that she committed a crime. She said she's going to jail.

We can only hope that her crime will be taken seriously and she will be punished for trying to steal the vote in Wisconsin.

If Daikawa isn't punished, we will know Wisconsin's elections are dirty and millions of Wisconsinites are disenfranchised.

A slap on the wrist is insufficient for Daikawa's crime.

We will find out if Ozaukee County and Wisconsin authorities are willing to tolerate voter fraud. We'll find out if we can have faith in our elections.

Wisconsin Recount: Ozaukee County Complete - Trump Up 3

From Ozaukee County Board Supervisor Gus Wirth:

Ozaukee County completed its election recount of the November 8, 2016 General Election for the President of the United States on December 5, 2016 at 6:15p.m.

Of the 55,207 ballots cast, the following reflects the changes in votes for ballot candidates and registered write-in candidates found at the recount:

Donald J. Trump/Michael R. Pence increase of 5 votes*

Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine increase of 2 votes

Gary Johnson/Bill Weld increase of 1 vote

Evan McMullin/Nathan Johnson increase of 16 votes

Michael A. Maturen/Juan Munoz increase of 1 vote

All other candidates and registered write-in candidates showed no change.

*In addition, there was an increase of 29 votes in the Village of Newburg, Ward 3 due to a discrepancy in the original canvass results for Trump/Pence numbers.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Board of Canvas members, municipal clerks and election inspectors who assisted with the recount. Your professionalism and dedication certainly contributed to a successful and efficient recount.

Jill Stein didn't pick up any votes.

The final results: Of 55,207 ballots cast, Trump gained 3 votes over Hillary Clinton.

*In addition, there was an increase of 29 votes in the Village of Newburg, Ward 3 due to a discrepancy in the original canvass results for Trump/Pence numbers.

What a waste of time and money!

If anything, this recount is showing how accurate the election results actually are.

August Weber Haus Raided

Federal agents storming a restaurant with guns drawn in downtown Cedarburg is not the norm, but that's what happened at The August Weber Haus on Thursday morning.

From WISN-TV:

Federal agents raided a popular restaurant in downtown Cedarburg.

The investigation dates back a number of years.

The restaurant is the August Weber Haus on Washington Avenue in Cedarburg.

The Cedarburg police chief confirmed to WISN 12 News reporter Christina Palladino that his department and several agencies, including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office raided the place.

Witnesses said they saw a number of agents with guns drawn storm the August Weber Haus around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

They also searched an apartment above the restaurant owned by the same family.

The police chief would not say what they were looking for, just that the investigation dates back years, and he didn't want to jeopardize the case.

...The police chief said they have a lot of evidence and witness information in regards to that raid.

No arrests were made, and no one's been charged.

The investigation goes back YEARS?

They have "a lot of evidence"?

Well. This is very un-Cedarburg.

Isn't it?

I guess not.

Cedarburg Stawberry Ice Cream World Record

Some delicious history was made in Cedarburg on Saturday at the Strawberry Festival.

From ABC News Radio, via WGOW-AM:

A new world record was set Saturday for the largest scoop of ice cream.

The massive amount of strawberry ice cream was courtesy of Kemps Dairy outside of Milwaukee, Wisc., which was celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Philip Robertson with Guinness World Records, who was on hand to confirm the accomplishment, said the record-setting scoop started to melt on the scales, but was successfully weighed in at more than 3,010 pounds.

This scoop topped the previous record by 2,770 pounds.

Penzeys Spices - Boycott

UPDATE, November 18, 2016: Bill Penzey Calls Trump Voters Racist, Need to "Make Amends."

________________


Leftists love to organize boycotts. It's what they do. It's one of the favorite methods they employ to attack conservatives.

Why? Probably because it often works.

Sure, sometimes there is a backlash; but more often than not, the conservatives surrender.

So, now we have Leftist Bill Penzey, attacking conservatives once again. Penzey's attacks aren't just remarks he makes as a private citizen. They aren't merely donations he makes to candidates or causes he supports. These attacks come in his business catalogues sent to his customers.

A Penzeys Spices catalogue arrived in the mail recently. I didn't even open it. I tossed it directly into the recyclable bin.

I don't buy Penzeys Spices because Bill Penzey has made it very clear that he doesn't like me.

When I heard on talk radio that Bill Penzey had leveled another attack on conservatives, I wasn't surprised. It's crazy to use that approach in dealing with customers, but it's what I've come to expect from Penzey.

Hey, Bill! It's not smart to insult past, present, or potential customers.

Here's Bill Penzey's most recent screed:

This issue we spotlight Waukesha, Wisconsin and its rebirth as a place of kindness. This catalog is one of our Great Milwaukee issues, a four-times-a-year special issue we usually send only to our customers in Wisconsin. With the tremendous hope we found in the stories of the people of Waukesha, we thought we would share it with all our customers across the country. I really think this is one of our best catalogs yet. I hope you enjoy it.

In the Great Milwaukee catalogs we celebrate the strengths of the greater Milwaukee area that is our home and we also work towards healing its challenges. Our greatest strength is the incredible kindness with roots that go so deep and stretch back so far into our history here. Our greatest challenge is that for all the goodness we share we are still so very divided, by many measures we are the most segregated region in the entire country. It’s a pattern that comes from a time before most of us were born. It is the hand we’ve been dealt, but the cards are most certainly not the ones we want to hold.

In many ways it was our kindness that set this all in motion. Through the 1950s Milwaukee’s government was pretty much the most progressive in the country. At a time when other communities were putting up barriers to diversity, Milwaukee’s leaders thought the right thing to do was to allow it in. And it was the right thing to do and is a huge part of why Milwaukee is being discovered today by so many for the treasure it is. But it was a move ahead of its time. Many embraced the change. Many others were not ready for it and fled west to Waukesha and Milwaukee’s surrounding suburbs.

Almost overnight, Waukesha, a place famous across the country for its abolitionist roots, became overwhelmed and home to a very different way of thinking. For decades, defending this flight has been key to political success in southeastern Wisconsin. Even today the governor’s continued defunding of inner city schools, the congressman’s talk of bell curves and lack of effort on the part of those who live in the city, and the legislature’s talk of secession and its new deeply disturbing law defending the use of Native American mascots are all about getting votes in Waukesha, and places like it. I would like to think that, in their hearts, none of these people feel good about sending the message that America is only for some people, not others. To them I think it is just the price of politics. But all of this is finally changing for the better. With Waukesha returning to its roots, these race-based politics are rapidly becoming more expensive than anyone wanting a political future can afford. I’ve worked in Waukesha for over 20 years now and, yes, when I first arrived it really was what is was. But over those years, especially in this last five or six, a very real, very positive change has happened. As we reached out to our area customers for stories of the new Waukesha we were overwhelmed with the kindness they shared with us. Awesome people, awesome place. So here we go. Great people trying the best they can to make a difference and put things right in ways both big and small. And when you have people who pay attention, people who understand the good things set in motion by creating happiness in those around them, great recipes are always right at the heart of the story. Cooks really do create a better future for us all.

Heal the World
Bill

I can't boycott Penzeys Spices, because I don't buy Penzeys Spices.

But if I did, I would stop.

Bottom line: I think Bill Penzey's PRACTICE OF POLITICIZING HIS BUSINESS is nuts.

Since Penzey has decided to make purchasing spices a political move, I think it's appropriate to respond by NOT supporting Penzey's business.

Maybe you like being called a racist if you're a conservative resident of "Waukesha, and places like it." Maybe you consider Penzey's remarks to be flattering. If you do, buy his products.
