Samantha Pfefferle made a video expressing her support for President Trump on the social media network TikTok. This led to a campaign to get her admission to Marquette University rescinded.
The school has not rescinded her admission, but they did ask her some crazy questions about her views.
This is good news but it’s stunning that this was ever even a question.

Student activists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are exploiting the current trend of statue toppling, to petition for the removal of a campus statue of President Abraham Lincoln.
Hating historic statues is all the rage these days.
In Madison, Wisconsin, rioters threw a statue of Hans Christian Heg (an anti-slavery activist and abolitionist who actively fought slave catchers and died from battle wounds fighting for the Union in the Civil War), into a nearby lake.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has finally ruled on the state’s lockdown order, in a case argued a week ago.

We previously covered the Kentucky and Mississippi religious freedom cases.
UPDATE: The Wisconsin Supreme Court blocked an executive order from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers that postponed the election to June 9. It will go on tomorrow.
The U.S. Supreme Court also blocked a ruling that gave people six extra days to submit their absentee ballots.
Things like this have become so tiresome. When will people have had enough?

In a radio interview with WSAU Thursday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was asked if he would consider issuing subpoenas to the Bidens, Rep. Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Chairman, and the whistleblower.
This is so sadly typical. When the posters were found, everyone freaked out. Then it was revealed that they were placed on campus by students of color who were purportedly targeted in the racist posters.
