Voters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wisconsin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a> approved two election-related amendments to the State Constitution on Tuesday, including one that bans the use of private money for election administration. 
The Republican-backed amendments came after Facebook founder <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-zuckerberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Zuckerberg</a> spent millions backing groups that funded election administration in counties across the country, including in Wisconsin, during the 2020 election. Critics argued that the massive amount of election funding distributed to non-profit groups, known as “Zuckerbucks,” unfairly benefited Democrat-dominated counties.
The initiative to ban private funding, Question 1, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/02/us/elections/results-wisconsin-question-1-prohibit-private-funding-of-elections.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> with 54% of the vote in favor and nearly 46% against. A section will now be added to the State Constitution that says &#8220;private donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum,” The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4572010-wisconsin-pass-measure-private-funds-elections/">reported</a>. 
The second initiative, Question 2, defined who can administer various aspects of elections. It <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/02/us/elections/results-wisconsin-question-2-limit-election-conduct-to-election-officials.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> with nearly 59% supporting and 41% opposed. It stipulated that “only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums.”
Opposition to the two amendments was greatest in the Democratic-heavy counties surrounding Madison and Milwaukee. The amendments were approved as Wisconsin is again expected to be a battleground state for a likely rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in November. 
“Victory! Wisconsin has spoken and the message is clear: elections belong to voters, not out-of-state billionaires,” Wisconsin GOP Chairman Brian Schimming <a href="https://wisgop.org/wisgop-statement-on-questions-1-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “Thanks to the efforts by the Republican Party of Wisconsin and grassroots organizing, Wisconsinites have turned the page on Zuckerbucks and secured our elections from dark money donors.”

<a href="https://thefga.org/research/the-wisconsin-zuckerbucks-problem/">According</a> to the Foundation for Government Accountability, more than $10 million in “Zuckerbucks” was spent in Wisconsin during the 2020 election. The FGA estimated that more than 80% of the funding went to areas Biden won by an average of 37 points. 
Jason Snead, the executive director of the Honest Elections Project, a group that has urged states to ban the use of outside funding for elections, praised the move in a statement obtained by The Daily Wire. 
“Honest Elections Project Action congratulates Wisconsinites for voting to enshrine a ban on private influence on election administration in their state constitution,” Snead said. “Private influence schemes such as ZuckBucks in 2020 and ZuckBucks 2.0 in 2024 sow distrust in election outcomes, which is why they should be banned in all 50 states. Moneyed interests, conservative and liberal alike, have no business influencing how elections are administered.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> County passed a resolution granting nature equal rights to mankind — the first move of its kind in the state.
The “Rights of Nature” <a href="https://milwaukeecounty.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&amp;ID=12288004&amp;GUID=D5D6F125-A5D1-4D55-92C7-DFB182990505" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> passed on Friday, issuing specific protections for bodies of water in the county. The resolution originated from a greater indigenous-led movement to ensure that nature has the same legal protections as humans. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said that the resolution was a means to both honor indigenous beliefs about nature and to more effectively execute conservation efforts.
“This effort recognizes the legal rights of natural areas &amp; waterways to exist &amp; thrive without interference from human activity,” said Crowley. “It’s important for us to appreciate the outdoor environment that Milwaukee County resides on and acknowledge the Indigenous people whose deep relationships with these lands pre-date our own.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The county struck draft language from the resolution acknowledging the indigenous “rights of nature” perspective as “symbolic in nature,” thereby rendering it to be factual.
“Milwaukee County recognizes the ‘rights of nature,’ which was initially enacted by the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin, as a sacred idea and policy to protect Southeastern Wisconsin’s waterways and bodies of water from human harm,” stated the resolution.
The greater “rights of nature” movement believes that all of nature have the same rights as humans. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) — established in 2012 at the behest of the United Nations — <a href="https://www.ipbes.net/policy-support/tools-instruments/rights-nature-ron%23:~:text=Rights%2520of%2520Nature%2520(RoN)%2520is,to%2520exist,%2520thrive%2520and%2520regenerate." target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> the rights of nature as a means to achieve environmental protections by affording ecosystems the same legal protections as people and corporations. IPBES considers the rights of nature, or “RoN,” to be one of their public policy instruments.
The Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin originally <a href="http://files.harmonywithnatureun.org/uploads/upload981.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enacted</a> the “rights of nature” in a January 2020 resolution, which Milwaukee County cited as a model for this latest resolution. The tribe declared that its resolution was enacted to thwart a proposed open-pit metallic sulfide mine, the Back Forty Mine.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“[T]he tribe recognizes that environmental laws which regulate the use and exploitation of nature are incapable of protecting the Menominee River and Mother Earth,” states the resolution. “[T]he tribe recognizes to protect the Menominee River, it must secure the highest protections for the river through the recognition of the river’s inherent and legal rights.”
The tribe declared that the river had a right to naturally exist, flourish, regenerate, evolve; the rights of restoration, recovery, and preservation; the right to abundant, pure, clean, and unpolluted water; the right to natural groundwater recharge and surface water recharge; the right to a healthy natural environment and natural biodiversity; the right to natural water flow; the right to carry out natural ecosystem functions; the right to be free of activities or practices, as well as obstructions, that interfere with or infringe upon these rights.
Additionally, the tribal resolution declared the Menominee River as the literal “origin of life” for the Menominee people. The tribe <a href="https://www.menominee-nsn.gov/GovernmentPages/Initiatives/Back40Mine/SixtyIslands.aspx%23:~:text=The%2520river,%2520at%2520its%2520mouth,the%25201st%2520Menominee%2520human%2520being." target="_blank" rel="noopener">believes</a> that the first Menominee human was originally a bear, a creature which the tribe believes to be supernatural in its nature.
“It is there that the Creator transformed the bear, a supernatural being who came from below the ground, into the [first] Menominee human being,” states the tribal government’s website.

Tech entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a> called for shutting down the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Education</a> and moving that funding &#8220;in the hands of parents&#8221; so they could have the opportunity to decide where to educate their children. 
Ramaswamy made the comments Wednesday during the first 2024 Republican <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/2024-gop-presidential-debate-live-updates-as-eight-republicans-face-off-in-milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presidential primary debate</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a>, Wisconsin. More than $79 billion was allocated to the Department of Education in fiscal year 2023. Ramaswamy also advocated the end of local teachers unions, which have been a barrier to school choice and charter school initiatives. 
“We have a crisis of achievement. Let&#8217;s shut down the head of the snake, the Department of Education. Take that $80 billion and put it in the hands of parents across this country. This is the civil rights issue of our time,” he said. “Allow any parent to choose where they send their kids to school. End the teachers unions at the local level to allow public schools to compete, and then revive our national identity.”

True “privilege” is not based on the color of your skin. It’s being raised in a stable family with two parents with a focus on education and a faith in God.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Additionally, Ramaswamy said that high school seniors should be required to take the same civics test that immigrants must pass to become citizens. He said that the crisis in American education, as kids have seen declining scores in key subjects like math and reading, is partly linked to fatherlessness. 
“Part of the problem is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have a man in the house than to have a man in the house, contributing to an epidemic of fatherlessness, and I think that goes hand in glove with the education crisis as well, because we have to remember: Education starts with the family; and, the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind,” Ramaswamy said. 
Other candidates had similar answers on the topic of education. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott also went after teachers unions.

“The only way we can change education in this country is to break the backs of the teachers&#8217; unions. They are standing in the door-house of our kids, locking them into failing schools, locking them out of the greatest future they can have,” Scott said.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> touted his economic record and decreasing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation</a> during a speech in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a>, Wisconsin, on Tuesday even as millions of Americans pay hundreds more for basic goods and services than two years ago.
Biden pointed to lower inflation even as a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/14/inflation-forcing-americans-to-spend-709-more-per-month-versus-2-years-ago/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new report</a> said that Americans paid $709 more dollars for basic goods and services in July 2023 than they did in July 2021, which was just months into Biden’s time in office. The spending was also $202 dollars more than July 2022, according to Mark Zandi, the chief economic analyst for Moody’s Analytics.
“In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, inflation is down, too — and it&#8217;s going lower,&#8221; Biden said during his Tuesday speech. The speech took place as Biden promoted his “Bidenomics” vision in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wisconsin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a>, which will be a key 2024 battleground state in the race for the presidency.

Biden has also said that the law, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-green-energy-boondoggle-keeps-getting-bigger">dumped billions</a> into the green energy industry, shouldn’t have had an inflation related name.
“I wish I hadn’t called it that because it has less to do with reducing inflation than it has to do with providing alternatives that generate economic growth,” Biden said last week.

Speaking to the Wisconsin state Senate about the proposed state budget, a Democratic state senator from Milwaukee slammed suburbanites, saying, “F*** the suburbs.”
State Senator LaTonya Johnson began her speech by speaking of the children who had been killed in her community by gun violence, then segued to blaming some of the violence on suburbanites who brought guns into the city.
“In the city of Milwaukee in 2021, gun thefts from vehicles alone — we’re talking about your Park N’ Rides, we’re talking about the malls, we’re talking about gun thefts from people who are living comfortably in the suburbs and deciding to bring their guns into Milwaukee because they want to be safe but then realizing that they can’t take them into certain places,” she stated. “841 guns that were stolen from vehicles. In 2022, 737 guns that were stolen from cars. These are guns that are taken, that are used on the streets in communities like mine.”
Johnson spoke later about the 2% sales tax for the city of Milwaukee that was <a href="https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2023/06/26/council-committee-endorses-2-sales-tax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> this week:
<blockquote>
For Milwaukee, the sales tax came with some strings attached. And one of those strings attached came with having to hire additional fire and police. Not necessarily to help protect the individuals who live in Milwaukee &#8230; as a condition of the 2% sales tax, we had to hire additional police.
</blockquote>
“Now that wasn’t an issue for me,” she continued. “Five of the busiest fire stations in Milwaukee are located in my district; three of the busiest fire stations in Milwaukee are located in my district.”
Noting that the bulk of 911 calls in Milwaukee came from her district, she added, “So those additional fire and police will benefit my district. So I wasn’t upset about that. But those individuals weren’t requested for my district.”
She said WisconsinEye had reported that the additional officers were needed because the crime was spilling out into the suburbs.

“And Lord forbid that the crime goes from the inner city of Milwaukee into the suburbs,” she declared. “Let’s just be clear about that.”
As Johnson neared the end of her speech, she said, “It would be nice sometimes, when some of these policies are made, if some of the people that were directly impacted were being brought to the table. And it would be nice sometimes, if when we are talking about these issues, that we think about the conversations that we’re having, because to say that these additional police are needed – what about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities who are born into poverty and then who die before they even get an opportunity to change what they were even born into? What about those moms who have to say goodbye to their kids forever simply because of their zip codes?”
“F*** the suburbs, because they don’t know a god-d*** thing about how life is in the city,” she concluded.
“Hate for the suburbs or anyone or any place in Wisconsin has no home here. Resign Sen. LaTonya Johnson, Wisconsin doesn’t have the time for your hate and lack of civility,” an <a href="https://wislawjournal.com/2023/06/29/commentary-latonya-johnson-should-resign-from-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">editorial</a> writer snapped in the Wisconsin Law Journal.

The city of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> is in the midst of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/car-theft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">car theft</a> epidemic, but instead of criminals, the city is targeting the car makers.
The Milwaukee Common Council voted Tuesday to approve a resolution to seek outside counsel to pursue a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai. The city will join a multi-district lawsuit being heard against the two automakers, claiming that their cars are too easy to steal. Milwaukee officials called the city &#8220;ground zero&#8221; for the car thefts.
&#8220;It is my hope that not only do we curb the thefts but that the City of Milwaukee recovers some of the damages for police, fire, [Department of Public Works] and any other costs that we&#8217;ve had to incur as a result of the negligence of Kia and Hyundai,&#8221; Milwaukee alderwoman Milele Coggs said at a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91nGgecyuQk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> Wednesday morning.
Milwaukee City Attorney Tearman Spencer said the city intended to be the first city to sue the automakers, but would still proceed with its case even though other cities have already filed suit. &#8220;In my estimation, all the [car theft] problems have emanated out of Milwaukee,&#8221; said Spencer. &#8220;This is ground zero, the epicenter of the cause of the problems that we&#8217;ve been experiencing throughout the country.&#8221;
According to crime data from the <a href="https://city.milwaukee.gov/police/Information-Services/Crime-Maps-and-Statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Police Department</a>, there were 10,487 motor vehicle thefts in 2021, and 8,097 more in 2022. A report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, cited by the Common Council in a <a href="https://city.milwaukee.gov/ImageLibrary/Groups/ccCouncil/News/2023/District-06/CouncilapprovesmeasurethatcouldleadtocitylawsuitagainstKiaandHyundai2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, found that Milwaukee had the 8th highest rate of motor vehicle theft of any city in the United States in 2021, and the highest increase from 2020-2021 of any city. In the year 2023 to date, there have been 1,323 car thefts.
Thefts have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/car-thefts-in-america-reach-highest-level-in-over-a-decade-analysis-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">particularly risen</a> for certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles, because they lack immobilizers, an electronic device that prevent criminals from bypassing the key-start ignition in the cars. A trend emerged on TikTok in September challenging criminals to steal a car by breaking into it, taking off the steering wheel, and hotwiring the engine with a USB cord, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/08/tiktok-challenge-spurs-rise-in-thefts-of-kia-hyundai-cars.html">CNBC</a> reported. The hashtag &#8220;#KiaBoys&#8221; was viewed more than 33 million times at the time. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2023/02/14/kia-and-hyundai-announce-software-update-said-to-deter-theft/69905025007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">further reported</a> that the &#8220;Kia Boys&#8221; theft ring originated in Milwaukee.
According to a report from <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/27/business/progressive-state-farm-hyundai-kia/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, the problem has reportedly gotten so bad that major auto insurers Progressive and State Farm have stopped covering Kia and Hyundai models in certain cities, including Denver and St. Louis, because of the high rates of theft. Kia and Hyundai have previously stated that their cars are in compliance with federal standards; they also announced software updates intended to deter thieves by requiring the key to be in the ignition socket before the car can turn on.

Drivers in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> area were feeling a little bit corny after 20 tons of the vegetable spilled onto an interstate highway Thursday night.
In a Twitter thread Thursday evening, the Milwaukee County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said that traffic had to be blocked on Interstate 41 southbound outside Milwaukee because a tractor-trailer overturned and spilled the vegetables onto the road. Crews had to block the highway even further in an effort to salvage the truck. Police are still investigating the cause of the accident.
&#8220;TRAFFIC ALERT: Please exercise caution in the area of S/B I-41 @ Florist Ave., where an overturned semi carrying 40,000 lbs of 🌽 is blocking lanes 2 and 3,&#8221; the <a href="https://twitter.com/MilwCoSheriff/status/1616267354366947328?s=20&amp;t=_E49dTZphDFCF0aRbZ_fjg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MCSO tweeted</a> around 9 p.m. local time. &#8220;The semi driver suffered just minor injuries. The circumstances of the crash/turnover are under investigation.&#8221;
The road had to be completely closed about an hour later. &#8220;UPDATE: The partial freeway closure at this rollover site is now a full freeway closure, as salvage efforts continue, with all southbound traffic diverted off of I-41 at Good Hope Road.&#8221;
The tweet included a photo of the crash site. The tractor-trailer lay on its side, with the truck on the shoulder and the trailer in a ditch off the road. The shipping container had slid off the trailer frame.

According to local radio station <a href="https://wtmj.com/traffic/2023/01/20/40000-lbs-of-corn-flood-milwaukee-roadway-in-semi-rollover-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WTMJ</a>, it took several hours for crews to remove the truck and clear the roadway. The truck was the only vehicle involved in the accident. The driver&#8217;s condition was unclear, and no details about the crash were available Friday.
I-41 is a major arterial highway that connects Milwaukee and Green Bay with the cities on the Fox River. It runs North-South, beginning just south of the Wisconsin-Illinois border and ending north of Green Bay.
Last month, another truck carrying <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tractor-trailer-spills-40000-pounds-of-meatballs-onto-virginia-highway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20 tons of meatballs</a> overturned onto a highway in rural southern Virginia. Traffic was shut down for about four hours after the big rig jackknifed, spilling more than 40,000 pounds of frozen meatballs onto I-95 South. Police charged the driver of the rig with a traffic violation.
According to Norfolk-based news station WAVY, the tractor-trailer ran off the road and struck a guardrail when the driver overcorrected. The vehicle jackknifed, causing the trailer to break away. Another big rig traveling in the same direction could not avoid the trailer and collided with it, spilling the frozen meatballs onto the highway. Officials said that it took more than two hours for rescue crews to free the driver of the second rig from the cab of the truck. The driver was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital with only minor injuries. The driver of the meatball truck was not reported injured; he was charged by police with failing to obey a highway marking.
In August of last year, two tractor-trailers overturned on opposite ends of the country, spilling other staples of Italian cuisine onto highways in California and Texas. First, a tractor-trailer carrying more than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chain-of-car-crashes-caused-by-300000-tomatoes-rolling-onto-california-highway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">300,000 tomatoes</a> collided with another vehicle and plowed into a center divider, spilling the fruit onto the opposing lanes of traffic, which caused a chain reaction of crashes.
Then, another big rig overturned on a highway in Tennessee outside Memphis, spilling gallons of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alfredo-sauce-spill-in-tennessee-follows-california-tomato-crash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alfredo sauce</a> and creating a huge mess for drivers and work crews.

A Patti LaBelle concert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was evacuated on Saturday night following a bomb threat.
A security team interrupted the singer as she spoke to the crowd and quickly escorted LaBelle, 78, off the stage of the Riverside Theater. Attendees seemed unaware of the threat and soon began to grow concerned, with some screams heard.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Another video showed concert-goers outside the venue as police secured and searched the theater.
&#8220;We do not know if we can go back inside to the venue. It is up to the Riverside Theater if we can go back inside,&#8221; the person taking the video added in the video. &#8220;But right now, everything&#8217;s on halt.&#8221;
The Milwaukee Police Department provided a brief <a href="https://twitter.com/DrakeBentleyMJS/status/1601795352818249728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">update</a> following the clearing of the venue, stating &#8220;all patrons have been safely evacuated&#8221; and that the &#8220;investigation is fluid and ongoing.&#8221;
&#8220;The building was searched by K9 units. No explosive devices were discovered. There is no threat to the public at this time,&#8221; a later statement, released at 1:13 a.m. CT on Sunday, added, <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2022/12/11/patti-labelle-audience-evacuated-from-riverside-following-bomb-threat/69718360007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The Pabst Theater Group later announced the postponement of the event.
“We are working with the artist to reschedule the show,” the group <a href="https://twitter.com/PabstTheaterGRP/status/1601820873060515840" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>.
LaBelle has not posted about the threat on her social media platforms as of publication.
LaBelle has been a well-known R&amp;B musician for decades. She began as the lead singer of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles in the 1960s. The group changed its name to Labelle and released the hit single &#8220;Lady Marmalade&#8221; in 1974. LaBelle has <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479458/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sold</a> more than 50 million albums during her career.
She has also been an actress in several TV shows and films. LaBelle recently appeared in a 2022 episode of &#8220;The Neighborhood&#8221; and was featured in the 2022 holiday film &#8220;A New Orleans Noel&#8221; on Lifetime and the 2019 film &#8220;A Family Christmas Gift.&#8221;

A veteran postal worker was fatally shot while delivering mail in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> on Friday, according to police.
The letter carrier has been identified as Aundre Cross, a 44-year-old father of four. Milwaukee police said they are looking for suspects with the help of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the FBI in a homicide investigation.
At around 5:59 p.m., officers responded to an injured person on the 5000 block of North 65th Street, the Milwaukee Police Department <a href="https://atlasone.app/alerts/7a90d45b-61e8-47ba-8b37-4565b7a2553b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a statement</a>. The victim had sustained a gunshot wound in an incident a little more than an hour earlier and he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Milwaukee Fire Department.
&#8220;The Milwaukee Police Department sends our sincere condolences to the victim&#8217;s family and to the USPS for the loss of their member,&#8221; the department said.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/10/us/milwaukee-postal-worker-killed/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which stressed</a> that the &#8220;safety and security of Postal employees is a top priority,&#8221; is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any suspects.
Milwaukee police said the <a href="https://atlasone.app/alerts/6d5f319e-c10c-427a-83a0-275f73119dea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspect vehicle is described</a> as a silver Audi Q5 SUV with tinted windows, and the suspect or suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.
Cross was an on-duty U.S. postal carrier with more than 18 years of service, according to authorities.
&#8220;The shooting death of a Milwaukee postal worker is alarming. My thoughts are with the victim&#8217;s family and colleagues,&#8221; Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/MayorOfMKE/status/1601427804603953152" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a tweet</a>. &#8220;The postal worker in this homicide was a public servant, which makes this crime even more disturbing.&#8221;
A former co-worker to Cross, who asked to be identified as Tia R., spoke fondly of him in <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2022/12/10/milwaukee-postal-worker-shot-and-killed-friday-identified-as-aundre-cross/69717526007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an interview with</a> the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
&#8220;He was a mentor to everybody,&#8221; she told the news outlet. &#8220;He was always ready with a prayer, a joke or a story. He never let anybody leave (any situation) without a smile on their face.&#8221;

Eleven major metropolitan areas in the United States saw median rental rates decline last month, according to an <a href="https://www.redfin.com/news/redfin-rental-report-october-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/housing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">real estate</a> brokerage Redfin, as economic headwinds and inflationary pressures discourage renters from moving.
The company found that the median nationwide asking rent rose 7.8% year-over-year, constituting the second consecutive month of single-digit increases following nearly one year of double-digit gains. The typical renter is now paying $1,983, marking a 0.9% month-over-month decrease from September.
“Demand for rentals is slowing because economic uncertainty is prompting many renters to stay put, and persistent inflation is shrinking renter budgets. That’s causing rent growth to cool,” Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr said in a press release. “There are signs that inflation is starting to ease, but it will likely be a while before renters see meaningful relief given that rents are still up more than wages.”
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, saw a 17.6% decline in rental prices between September and October, representing the largest decline of any other major metropolitan real estate market. Rents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, fell 7.8%, while those in Baltimore, Maryland, and Seattle, Washington, decreased 3.2% and 2.7% respectively. Cities in the Midwest and South saw the most rapid increases, with prices in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, surging 31.7% month-over-month as prices in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Cincinnati, Ohio, increased 21% and 17% respectively.
Only five metropolitan areas saw rent decline during the month of September. New York City, New York, currently maintains the country’s highest median rent at $4,068.
Earlier reports indicated that soaring real estate prices caused some would-be homebuyers to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rental-market-remains-brutal-nationwide-cools-in-some-large-cities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">search for apartments</a> rather than contending with elevated purchasing costs, introducing upward price pressure in some rental markets. Home prices are now falling due to higher mortgage rates discouraging demand; nevertheless, affordability is also plummeting because of higher mortgage payments, according to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/housing-affordability-plummets-to-new-low-with-all-the-least-affordable-housing-markets-in-california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the National Association of Home Builders.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate remained below 3% for much of the past two years, according to <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from government-backed mortgage company Freddie Mac. The rate has surged from approximately 3% earlier this year to more than 7% earlier this month, with most of the increases occurring after the Federal Reserve hiked target interest rates at the fastest pace in three decades.
“The housing market and affordability conditions have continued to weaken throughout the year as rising mortgage rates, supply chain bottlenecks and a lack of skilled construction workers continue to push housing costs higher,” National Association of Home Builders Chairman Jerry Konter said in a <a href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2022/11/housing-affordability-falls-to-more-than-10-year-low-as-rising-interest-rates-take-a-toll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “Entry-level buyers are particularly hurt, as more of them are getting priced out of the market.”
Metrics such as the National Association of Realtors’ Pending Home Sales Index have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pending-home-sales-plummet-as-housing-market-is-rocked-by-soaring-mortgage-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">witnessed</a> rapid declines, further demonstrating lower market interest in new home purchases. Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored enterprise which securitizes mortgage loans, predicted in an <a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/forecast/fed-maintains-its-resolve-markets-build-risk#:~:text=As%20measured%20by%20the%20Fannie%20Mae%20Home%20Price%20Index%20(FNM,negative%20beginning%20in%20Q2%202023." target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> last month that home prices will decline 1.5% in 2023; meanwhile, estimated increases in home prices were revised from 16% to 9% for 2022. The organization noted early signs of cooling labor market pressures, which had constrained builders’ capacity to increase housing inventory, although interest rates are still projected to increase.

A top <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> elections official has been fired for alleged fraud in what may have been a stunt to spotlight how easy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-military-ballots-discarded-in-troubling-discovery-all-opened-ballots-were-cast-for-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fake military ballots</a> can be trafficked in Wisconsin, authorities said.
Kimberly Zapata, 44, was fired as deputy director of the city’s Election Commission after she allegedly had unsolicited military ballots sent to a state representative&#8217;s home. Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said the case is under investigation but may have been a bid to expose how easily the election system can be exploited.
&#8220;This has every appearance of being an egregious blatant violation of trust [and] this matter is now in the hands of law enforcement,&#8221; Johnson said, <a href="https://www.wisn.com/article/milwaukee-election-worker-under-investigation-for-ballot-fraud/41856252" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to WISN</a>.
“It does not matter to me that the alleged crime did not take place at work,” he added. “It does not matter to me that the city of Milwaukee ballots were not a part of this, nor does it matter that there was no attempt to vote illegally or tamper with any election results.”
The drama came less than a week before Wisconsin voters go to the polls to select a governor and senator, among other races. Zapata could face a felony charge of malfeasance in office and a misdemeanor charge of illegally requesting a ballot, a source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Zapata&#8217;s attorney, Michael Maistelman, declined to answer questions about his client&#8217;s alleged actions.
&#8220;We will litigate this in the courtroom, not the media,&#8221; Maistelman <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/milwaukee-election-official-fired-fraudulently-154838417.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</a>.
The alleged caper came to light earlier this week when state Rep. Janel Brandtjen posted on social media photos of three military absentee ballots sent to her home on Oct. 27. Brandtjen said the ballots appeared to be sent from clerks in Menomonee Falls, South Milwaukee and Shorewood and were each addressed to a fictitious “Holly” with three different last names.

Janel Brandtjen posted photos of military absentee ballots sent to her home on Oct.27. (Office of Rep. Janel Brandtjen)</div>
Brandtjen, a Republican and chair of the Assembly Elections Committee, said she also suspects someone, possibly Zapata, was trying to prove a point.
“I believe someone was trying to point out how easy it is to get military ballots in Wisconsin,” she said. “Registration for military ballots is not required, so a fictitious name and birthdate is all that is required to obtain a military ballot online.”
Under state law, military voters are not required to register to vote and do not have to provide photo ID or any other identification. Milwaukee Election Commission chief Claire Woodall-Vogg said Zapata was likely trying to show Brandtjen the system’s vulnerability.
<div id="attachment_459414" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-459414" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-459414" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-03-at-1.50.06-PM-300x279.png" alt="Milwaukee Elections Chief Claire Woodall-Vogg said Zapata was likely trying to show Brandtjen the system’s vulnerability." width="300" height="279" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-03-at-1.50.06-PM-300x279.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-03-at-1.50.06-PM.png 556w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Milwaukee Elections Chief Claire Woodall-Vogg (above) said Zapata was likely trying to show Brandtjen the system’s vulnerability. (Milwaukee Election Commission)</div>
“It’s my belief that she was pointing out that you can go onto the public system, make up a person and request a ballot,” Woodall-Vogg said.
In August, a Racine man was accused of using the state’s MyVote system to fraudulently request absentee ballots in the names of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Racine Mayor Cory Mason in order to show flaws in the system. Harry Wait, a leader of a Racine County-based group known as H.O.T. Government, was praised for the action by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who called him a &#8220;white hat hacker&#8221; for &#8220;trying to show a vulnerability&#8221; in the system overseen by the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wisconsin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a> Lt. Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-candidate-critical-of-over-bloated-police-budgets-has-expensive-police-security-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mandela Barnes</a> (D) used the example of his own mother having an abortion before he was born to defend abortion during a Senate debate against Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron Johnson</a> (R-WI).
Barnes, who has featured his mother in previous campaign ads, made the statement during a Friday evening debate in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a>, where he faced off against Johnson — who has taken the lead in several recent polls in the purple state. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m an only child, but I&#8217;m not my mother&#8217;s only pregnancy. Before I was born, my mother had a complicated pregnancy, and she had an abortion. She shared her story because she wanted others to know that they aren&#8217;t alone and then it was her decision to make,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/five-takeaways-first-wisconsin-senate-debate-ron-johnson-mandela-barnes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. 
Johnson, who is pro-life, responded by saying that Barnes supports abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. 
“The most extreme position here would be no limits on abortion whatsoever,&#8221; the incumbent Republican said. &#8220;Allowing abortion right up to the moment of birth, which is what the lieutenant governor supports.”
Barnes had attacked Johnson for his support for the Supreme Court Decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/roe-v-wade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roe v. Wade</a> and effectively returned abortion legislation back to the states. 
The two candidates also sparred over crime at the debate, which was hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcast Association. Johnson said that Barnes was soft on crime and pointed to his association with groups and individuals who support defunding the police, though Barnes has denied he supports the movement. 
“The first thing you do is support law enforcement and unfortunately the lieutenant governor has not done that,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://fox11online.com/news/state/mandela-barnes-ron-johnson-republican-democratic-first-debate-wisconsin-broadcasters-association-milwaukee-senate-senator-abortion-crime-inflation-lieutenant-governor">said</a>. &#8220;He has a record of wanting to defund the police. He says it pains him to see fully funded police budgets.”
Barnes responded by claiming that Johnson had “supported” the January 6 Capitol riot. 
The debate mirrored the strategies taken by the candidates on the campaign trail, with Barnes attempting to motivate Democrats over abortion issues and Johnson emphasizing crime. 
Polling has flipped in recent weeks, with Johnson jumping into the lead after trailing Barnes for much of the early polling with just weeks to go before the election. Johnson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-political-exercise-ron-johnson-say-democrats-are-using-jan-6-hearings-to-distract-from-policy-failures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Daily Wire in June that he expects the race to come down to the wire, saying that his race was “crucial to stop the Biden agenda.”
The next debate will be at Marquette University on Thursday, October 13.
