Why My 2026 Defamation Lawsuit Is Very Different From My 2023 Trial Against Raymond Roberts
KENOSHA, Wis. — When I went to trial in 2023 against convicted two-time drunk driver and convicted child beater Raymond Roberts, the case was largely about vindication. I wanted a jury to publicly and unanimously say that Roberts’ outrageous statements were false. I got exactly that. The jury unanimously found that Roberts’ statements were not true. Roberts had claimed that I trained my children to become suicide bombers, threatened to murder military veterans, and was somehow involved in the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. No reasonable person believed those claims. The jury rejected them. I only asked the jury for $1 in damages, despite the advice of my attorneys not to do so. At the time, I was more interested in clearing my name than obtaining money from

Judge Moves Forward With John Doe Against Somers Man And Racine County Deputy Accused Of Flock Misuse, But Special Prosecutor Request Denied
RACINE, Wis. — A Walworth County judge has allowed Kenosha County Eye’s John Doe petition against Somers resident and Racine County Sheriff’s Deputy Emil Ortiz to move forward, ordering Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson to review allegations that Ortiz improperly used Flock cameras, law enforcement databases and other departmental technology for personal reasons. The ruling, signed Monday by Walworth County Judge Kristine E. Drettwan, requires Hanson to either file criminal charges against Ortiz or provide the court with a written explanation within 90 days explaining why no charges are warranted. While the decision keeps the matter alive and represents at least a procedural victory for KCE, the judge denied the request for a special prosecutor and instead placed the charging decision in Hanson’s hands. KCE had specifically asked the

Kenosha County Democratic Party Faces Questions Over Far-Left Candidate Litmus Tests
KENOSHA, Wis. — Critics say the Kenosha County Democratic Party has moved well beyond traditional Democratic politics and increasingly expects local candidates to embrace a long list of progressive activist positions in order to receive support, endorsements, volunteers, and access to party resources. For local offices such as county board supervisor, school board, village trustee, city council, or town board, voters might reasonably expect Democratic Party questionnaires to ask about road funding, taxes, economic development, labor unions, public schools, zoning, public safety, and local government spending. Instead, critics say the questionnaires given to candidates during the 2024 cycle and again heading into 2026 asked about issues that local officials will never have the authority to decide. Rather than focusing on roads, budgets, parks, school performance, infrastructure, and economic growth, the

Gateway Presidential Search Raises Questions About Board Judgment, Trustee Vetting
KENOSHA, Wis. — Somebody who sits on a board making multi-million-dollar decisions should probably have a clean track record, right? What if one of those board members was found to have allegedly falsified travel reimbursement records for personal financial gain? What if that person was actually the treasurer of said board? Those questions are again being raised as Gateway Technical College moves forward with its search for a permanent president. Gateway recently announced four finalists for the position after former President Ritu Raju left the college following widespread criticism from faculty and staff. In March 2024, Kenosha County Eye reported on internal survey results showing abysmal morale and deep dissatisfaction with Raju’s leadership. Now, some community members are questioning whether the Gateway College Board itself is part of the problem.
