There are several politicians, celebrities, and sports personalities who don’t deserve attention, and I have promised myself not to give them another moment of fame. Included are Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Bill O’Reilly, and Sean Hannity. I would include Donald Trump, but he remains a presidential candidate, and I may be forced to include him in future articles.

Because Scott Walker was finally back in his cave, I didn’t believe I would be using him in my rants, but he is so ignorant, so biased, and so wrong about everything, I had to write one more.

One thing GOP politicians all have in common is the fact that they deny any truth which doesn’t please their primary owners, the wealthiest Americans and the Christian religious right. This includes climate change, Constitutional rights for all Americans regardless of faith or sexual orientation, and that racism continues to grow in the United States.

September 2^nd Walker issued a statement on a conservative blog calling the death of Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz an”assassination,” and said a culture of police hatred has been fostered under Obama. He, like his fellow racists; denies that blacks are treated differently than whites by law enforcement, and that a complete overhaul of our law enforcement system is necessary. He also disagrees with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.

The fact is that in 2013, the sum of deaths suffered by all law enforcement agencies across the nation totaled 107; this is the lowest number since 1949.

Yesterday it was revealed that evidence proved that the death of Lieutenant Gliniewicz was self-inflicted. Today the authorities in Fox Lake, Illinois, distributed additional information; he shot himself once in his vest, and a second time in his torso. The reason as is most often the truth, is follow the money. He had been embezzling from a youth organization he was associated with for years. He attempted to eliminate embarrassment as well as insure that his family received 100 percent of his pension and benefits.

Walker needs to have all the facts before he opens his mouth; but why should he start now?
