MADISON, Wis. — A man illegally brought a loaded handgun into the Wisconsin Capitol, demanding to see Gov. Tony Evers, and returned at night with an assault rifle after posting bail, police said Thursday.

The man, who was shirtless and had a holstered handgun, approached the governor's office on the first floor of the Capitol around 2 p.m. Wednesday, state Department of Administration spokesperson Tatyana Warrick said. The 43-year-old man said "he would not leave until he saw Governor Evers" so he could talk about "domestic abuse towards men,"

....

The man was booked into the Dane County Jail but later posted bail.

He returned to the outside of the Capitol shortly before 9 p.m., three hours after the building closed, with a loaded assault-style rifle and a collapsible police baton in his backpack, Warrick said. He again demanded to see the governor and was taken into custody.

US states’ tourist sites’ slogans

For most of my life, Arkansas was "Land of Opportunity". It only recently went to the "Natural State", which is hilarious to me: "hey forget about jobs or economic mobility, dig these trees!"

yeah i watched the whole thing last night. From the wikipedia article it seems like he got more conservative as a result of this documentary. The only kind-of red flag was the bit about religion, atomic family kind of stuff.  Obviously religion has/is going to play a role in a lot of people's lives but it doesnt have to be the only way out for people either. Nonetheless some things can act as a gateway-drug for a given worldview. 

That being said the video did a good job of showing american decline fairly objectively. It is weird that his takeaway from that experience was to go hard-core against CRT when there seemed to be pretty obvious examples of systemic oppression highlighted in the doc.  Also, the issue with the steel mills closing down is due to unconstrained capitalizism, "free market" decisions to move manufacturing overseas or automate it.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.
 

pure USA on display...racism, stupidity, white Christian non-acceptance, wasting taxpayer money...all for nothing!

Buddhist group wants to open a temple/meditation center in Mobile, AL. they get city approval and buy the property. then, the local "public" weighs in on it...and sure enough the local leaders cave in -

However, after vociferous public opposition – including comments focusing on the Buddhist character of the proposed usage – the Planning Commission turned down the zoning change.

people start suing, and the thing gets logged down in the legal system for, oh, 7 years? and it apparently cost the city over $1 mil to defend its pointless/racist case? incredible. so much pointless dumb shit in this country.
