Dems Put the HIPAA in Hypocrite

Dems Put the HIPAA in Hypocrite

Listen to Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," as Dan breaks a pair of big exclusives: First, Dem congressional candidate Rebecca Cooke demands more access to health care coverage but provides none for her own campaign staff. Then, Rep. Robyn Vining (who is now running for State Senate) had her photography business shut down by the state and repeatedly cited over the past decade for failing to file annual reports or pay annual fees.

What Mosquitoes (Yes Mosquitoes) Can Teach Us About the State of Science and Media Today

On Tuesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan uses a bizarre (and totally false) story about mosquito seasons getting worse because of climate change to make a broader point about how both science and media have been corrupted by left-wing special interest money. Plus, hot weather causes Milwaukee Public Schools to close...on the second day of class. Also, could verdict be coming tomorrow in the Lindsay Clancy case? Dan explains why that could be a likely scenario.

David Crowley's Milwaukee County is Too Dysfunctional Even for its Strip Clubs!

Dan opens up a busy broadcast week on "The Dan O'Donnell Show" by highlighting the temporary closure of Silk Exotic, a strip club in downtown Milwaukee, because there is just too much violence and chaos in David Crowley's Milwaukee County. Crowley, meanwhile, is also under fire for making taxpayers fund free iPads for jail inmates after yet another one inmate used his tablet to intimidate witnesses. Plus, a new policy on Flock cameras, a new battle in the war over data centers, and a liberal county literally not protecting trans lives.

Comical Incompetence from Milwaukee's Election Commission

On Friday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan is left speechless at how incompetent the Milwaukee Election Commission official who downloaded audit logs instead of vote totals on primary election night. The MEC's explanation and proposed changes for November further illustrate just how in over her head one of the top election officials in Milwaukee actually is.

The Many Successes of Trump's Second Term 

On Thursday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan gets tired of the dooming about President Trump's second term and runs down the long list of major victories the Trump Administration has won in just over a year and a half. From immigration to crime, the economy to reducing the size of government, the President has had an incredible run, despite what the media and the idiot right-wing podcast crowd would have you think.

What Really Creates Affordability

Gubernatorial candidate David Crowley has, like most Democrats, regurgitated the buzzword "affordability" for months without having the faintest clue what actually drives it. Republican Tom Tiffany does, and on Tuesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," explains his eight-point plan to actually make things affordable again. Plus, Dan discusses the death of Dolly Parton, the massive increase in illegal alien arrests, and much more!

It's the Incompetence, Stupid

On Monday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan wonders whether Milwaukee might be the least competently governed city in America, and with an assistant city attorney costing Milwaukee $800,000 by not filing a brief in time to an election commission that can't seem to count, it just might be. Plus, a fascinating discussion on the significant change in American culture brought about by the professionalization of youth sports.

A Question of Accountability

On Friday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan unearths video of a young sociopath inviting every thug in Milwaukee to come to Wisconsin State Fair and fight, steal, and intimidate fairgoers. This, like today's first meeting of Governor Evers' Commutation Advisory Board, is clear evidence that Democrats cannot and will not enforce society's rules or standards against those hellbent on breaking them. Plus, a Republican in the Assembly demands accountability from the Milwaukee Elections Commission following the absentee ballot debacle earlier this month.
