Note to Mr. Bunny: "ICE Out" is the current hot slogan of the Left - just as "Defund the Police" was popular a couple of years ago. The war on cops didn't end well and I suspect that the push for no deportations will end the same way sooner or later.

I assume Doc Rivers is continuing to audition for a spot as a commentator on MSNOW in anticipation of his departure from the Bucks at the end of the season. Hope he does a better job for the network than he has for the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers once again denounced ICE activity: ‘It’s not morally right.'

Two decades ago, It was nuts to put $42 million into a revamp of the old Milwaukee Auditorium (now High Life Theatre). It's pretty much been an under used white elephant ever since. It's hard to believe there's not a better use for that property.

The project could include the 650-room hotel, 150 apartments, 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and activated green space.

I'm not sure where to draw the line between journalism and activism. Regardless, wherever that line may be, there's no question Lemon crossed it in this case. Having once worked for CNN doesn't give you a pass to engage in allegedly criminal conduct.

Journalist Don Lemon has been arrested in connection with an incident several weeks ago in which anti-ICE protesters disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

You would have thought someone would have figured this out BEFORE the employee health insurance contract expired. I guess this is Milwaukee County though. Just saying.

Milwaukee County is scrambling to address a lapse in one of its largest contracts, covering employee health care , after it expired in 2025.

You would have thought that someone would have figured this out BEFORE they hired the guy. Then again. this is the City of Milwaukee. Just saying.

The head of Milwaukee's violence prevention office is stepping down after the city attorney's office determined his past felony makes him ineligible.

The USA columist gives the Brewers a D for off-season moves. I think he's wrong. Their over/under for the season is currently 87.5 games (they won 97 last year). Putting my money where my mouth is, I bet the over during a casino visit yesterday. Go Crew. https://t.co/f5CAjUKxjW

This video shouldn't change the investigation into the shooting of Mr. Pretti but it does show what officers are dealing with on a daily basis in Minnesota.

New footage appears to show Alex Pretti spitting at ICE agents and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic confrontation.

This might not have been the right time for him but Josh Schoemann is a class act with a bright political future. https://t.co/Gwcn5ea5ex

Something everybody should be able to agree on. Spreading unfounded "rumors" like this is not helpful ... to anybody.

Milwaukee immigrants' rights groups are again asking people not to share unconfirmed information about ICE operations to avoid spreading fear.

This shooting must be investigated and maybe a strategy change is in order BUT when people put themselves in the middle of law enforcement actions (blocking cars, physically confronting agents), there is always a high potential for bad things to happen.

Obama went on to concede that immigration agents have a “tough job,” but accused the Trump admin of encouraging lawless tactics among agents.

I don't think these tweaks to the pursuit policy will be overly restrictive. That said, with all the reckless drivring in the City (police chases or not), people need to understand they put their lives at risk every time they get behind the wheel.

Milwaukee police are once again revising the department policy for vehicle pursuits. See how it's changed over the years.

You have to believe this kills any chance of a Giannis trade this season. The bigger question is whether moving forward the Bucks commit over $50 million per year (for several years) to a great 31 year old player who is starting to be injury prone? https://t.co/NZvj8toYGn

Giannis Antetokounmpo did not appear to be 100% in the Bucks' 102-100 loss to the Nuggets and was subbed out for good with 34 seconds left.

I know this doesn't fit with the media narrative on Minnesota but here goes: Today I was with some people from Minneapolis who were appalled not by ICE but by the behavior of many of the protesters and the rampant fraud committed in the Somali community.

Why is this newsworthy? It used to be that the media didn't name people accused of criminal behavior unless and until charges were issued. Now we apparently report accusations even though the subject was cleared. What a shameful lack of standards.

A prominent civic leader was recently investigated for assault, but no charges were filed, sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Peralta was a great player for the Brewers BUT he wasn't going to sign a new contract with them and - while outstanding - was arguably in decline. You never know with prospects but both of the new acquisitions seem like they can play.
jsonline.com
Freddy Peralta ranks best in Brewers history in at least two notable statistical categories, just part of his decorated legacy in Milwaukee.

Really? People lose a bunch of money because the President decides to declare yet another trade war with our allies - this time over Greenland! The sooner the Supreme Court puts an end to this madness, the better.

Two things can be true at once. You can believe the ICE presence in Minnesota may be overkill and still acknowledge that the behavior of many of the protesters has crossed the line into criminality and /or craziness.
foxnews.com
Anti-ICE protesters staged a sit-in at Minneapolis Target store, claiming retailer allows federal immigration agents to use parking lot as staging ground.

I 've always thought Mike McCarthy got kind of a bum deal in Green Bay. In my limited dealings with him, he always struck me as a really good guy. I'd love to see him land in Pittsburgh.

I finally got around to seeing the new film "Song Sung Blue" at the theater. It takes some liberties with the story as presented in the documentary but is still a great film. Well worth checking out.
jsonline.com
Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, 'Blue' is about Mike and Claire Sardina from real-life Milwaukee Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder.
